I'm The Good Old Days.

The following is copy from a
notice posted in Wanamaker's
Store in New York back in 1916
100 years ago:
"Store must be open at 600 a.
m. and remain open until 900 D,
IN. the year round.
THE store must be swept,
counter, base shelves and show
cases busted. Lamps trimmed,
and filled. and chimneys cleaned;
pens made; doors and windows
opened; a pail of water and q
scuttle of coal must be brought in
by each clerk before break
fast, if there Is time to do 80, and
attend to customers who call.

the Sabbath day unless absolute
ly necessary, and then only for q
few minutes. Any employee who
is in the habit of smoking Span.
ish cigars, getting shaved at the
barber shop, going to dances and
other places of amusement, will
most surely give bis employer
reason to be suspicious of bis in
tegrity and all around honesty.
Each employee must not pay
less than $500 per year to the
church and must attend Sunday
School every Sunday.

binary Cabinet resignation.
In view of the circumstances
in which he was moved to quit,
it ia q political event of the lsrg-
est consequence.
Mr.. Ickes has not just created
a vacancy in the Department Of
the Interior. He has created q
political crisis for the Administ-
ration.
It is a major and an incalcul-
able political reverse for Presi-
dent Truman.
1t is q body blow to the DEM
cratic Party.
It provides the strongest evil
dence that the coalition Of coliti-
cal forces which Franklin d.
Roosevelt created and maintain
ed through four presidential elec-
lions is slipping from Mr.. Tru-
man.
1t is a boon to the Republican
Party. and it is quite obvious
that Mr.. Ickes doesn't care if it
is.
It is an open invitation to the
Republican Party to nominate
Harold E. Stassen or any other
progressive candidate who can
make some appeal to the indie.
pendent voters whom Mr.. Ickes.
long their most articulate spokes-
mao, is virtually pushing into its
lap.
Admittedly. Washington is
much more politically minded
than the rest of t b country.
This town loves to sit up nights
hashing over the political i'm
plications of even President Tru-
mans four-cornered pocket
handkerchief. But, have no
doubt about it, this is no Hurley
resignation. This is no three-day
headline. The political effects of
what Mr.. Ickes has done and
said and the way he has done
and said II will be felt inext
month, next year, and in Novem.
Der. 1913.
Mr.. Ickes is leaving the Tru-
man Administration on an issue
of integrity in government and
personal veracity. And in this
area of conduct Mr.. lckes' re-
putation overshadows any Feder-
al public official of the Is years
he has served; friend and foe
will so testify. When Mr.. Iekes
says that the President's nomi-
zee for Undersscretary of the
Navy, Edwin ". Psuley. tried to
coerce hin, to drop the tidewater
oil suit on the ground that it
would scare off party eontribu-
lions from California oil men, the

This issue will not down easily.
The Pauley nomination. not Mr..

son National Memorial at the an

Jefferson. The society was desig-
mated by the National Capital Parks
Service to sponsor the annual me-
mortal services following dedication
Of the Jefferson National Memorial

1943.
A wreath from President Truman
was placed at the base Of the

a military aide to the President.
Another wreath was sent by Secre-
tary of State Byrnes and still
another was placed for Governor
Tuck of Virginia. Stanley Wood
ward, chief, division of protocol,
State Department, acted on behalf
of Mr.. Byrnes and Alton Lacy, spe-
cial representative, for the Cover
nor of Virginia. Other wreaths
were placed at the statue by a
number Of local patriotic and mill
tary organizations.
A massing Of the colors by local

serted Jefferson was the architect
OF our democracy, one which "has
been tested in the crucible of bitter
experience and has not been found
wanting" The general also pointed
out that Jefferson was "one of the

planned to raise the funds by popu-
lar subscription. AS yet no such
action has been taken.
Mr.. Hulfish said he believed the
building should be used for some
purpose which would benefit the city
as a whole. Since quarters for the
Juvenile Court are badly needed,
he fayors using Ramsay House for
the purpose if it can be restored
without affecting its historical
character.
He said he understands the pro-
posal is to use the building for de-
tention quarters for juveniles as
well as for court headquarters, and
that, if the house is large enough
for this purpose and can be pro-
tected from damage under this use,
he fayors the plan.
Meanwhile, Clyde Lamond, vice
president of the Alexandria His
torical Society, said the directors
of the group had not met recently
because of the illness of Mr.. Sui
Hvan, and that they had received no
indication Of any plan to use the
