Five Reasons Why We Guarantee Comfort Ease in Kahler Shoes is not a matter of luck or weather: it is guaranteed by five features of Kahler lasts. % 1. The “Secret Spring.” a strip of hand-forged tempered steel hidden under the instep, supports the arch, at the same time that it bends with the foot, never restraining nor binding the muscles. 2. The Cupped Heel Seat, in which the ball of the. heel fits comfortably, prevents the foot from slipping’ forward to crowd the toes. 3. The Straight-Line Last follows the outline of the foot. The toes are not pinched nor distorted. This Kahler feature relieves bunions caused by improperly shaped footwear. 2 4. The Combination Last combines easy width across the ball “of the foot with'a narrower snug-fitting heel. & The Cork Filler, a flexible, dampproof insole, absorbs the shocks of walking.

All three Commissioners might be appointed from the District (a8 is now the requirement in respect to the two | eivilians) and power of recall might then be given to the District in respect to any of these Commissioners, such recall addressing itself with a power- ful persuasive force lo the President. the appointing power, who would fill the vac: caused by the recall. With trict might be {the Commissioners thus selected from jthe commun and indirectly re- | sponsible to it."the power of initiating local legislation and requiring a vote by Congress on such propositions, and of referendum to the limited extent of advising influentially upon local bills compulsorily referred to them, might be vested in the Com ioners.; ¢ _The Commissioners now have under tie law power of initiative in respect to the local appropriation bill, and in practice other local bills ~have | been perfunctorily referred to them by District committees for their obinion. But the Commissioners are not now compulsorily responsible in lany way t0 the local community which they represent, and the power of recall in respect’ to them, even though exercised indirectly through {the President. could hardly fail to be_beneficial in its effect. The President now has practically absolute and unlimited power of re- call in respect to the Commissioners, which he would not lose if the com- munity had in addition the suggest- ed limited power of recall, which might on occasion require him to name a successor to some incumbent who had incurred the community’s strong displeasure. Modify Reatrictive Court Declsfons. The Constitution, in the ten-mile- square provision, g Congress the power (and imposes upon it the ob- ligation) to exercise exclusive legis- lation in the seat of government thus created. The United States Supreme Court has declared (Stoutenburg_ vs. Hennick, 129 U. S. 141) that Con- gress may not delegate this power of memeral legisiation constitutional- Iy imposed upon it and that an act of gemeral legisiation by a local legislature created by Congress was void. (The principle is substan- tially the same as that laid down even more distinctly and sweepingly by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in Roach vs. Van Ris- wick, MacArthur and Mackey's Re- port, p. 171.) These decisions in effect deny the power of general legislation in the District, even temporarily and ten- tatively, to a local legislature. They must_be modificd before concessions concerning local government can be anything but stringently restricted, easily revocable and distinctly less in substance than those granted with unsatisfactory results in 1871-4. | It may be wise to plan to get a Icaae before the Supreme Court which will reopen these decisions and se- cure an expression of opinion upon {the principles involved from the Su- preme Court of today. Even if thera {is no complete reversal of this de- cision, its modification by the United | States Supreme Court, with a result- ! ing enlargement of the power of | Congress to delegate its power of! zeneral Jegislation in the District.| would helpfully increase the degree of the District's possible participa- tion in its local government and {would promote the capitai's welfare. Referendum for the District. There would be no disturbance of national control of the capital if this mcdification of these court decisions were sought and obtained; and such modification would enable Congress to shift more of its local lJaw-making | power upon the Commissioners, or upon the people of the District by authorizing advisory referendums in respect to specified local issues of major importance. Congress has on occasion in the past adopted the ref- erendum for the District to the ex- tent of permitting its people to vote upon sfome question tally affecting their interests, as in Buchanan's ad- ministration in 185%, when the people of the capital voted on a proposed code of laws.

WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 29, 1921. A " " o . . A A ™ "™ . " " . " " " " . 28 Yearr — because you have wanted us —_ What do you want for our 28th birthday? No frills, no jubilees, no flowers. Just an honest- to-goodness value-giving event to mark the 28 happy and successful years we have enjoyed the patronage of the people, not alone of Washington, but of every State in the Union. 28 Years—28 Specials For every year that we have been in business we tomorrow put on a special, or 28 of them. These specials represent matchless values because they have been selected from the new P-B stocks of spring and sum- mer merchandise, priced at today’s replacement costs, and specially reduced for this birthday event. According to Webster, a “special” is a thing ““dis- tinguished by some unusual quality-”’ Parker-Bridget carries the definition a step further in that each one of these 28 specials is distinguished not alone for its qual- ity, but for its price as well. Preparihg since February - We have been talking, planning and preparing for this event since last February. Time and again we have visited the markets of the great industrial centers of the country in order to secure the co-operation of the manufacturers with whom we trade. Now we are set —all ready for you. In the column to the right we have listed, very briefly, these 28 specials. Judge their values not so much by what we have said in this announce- ment, but rather by the Parker-Bridget 28 years’ repu- tation for doing big things. And, best of all, judge them by seeing them and examining them. We are very sincere when we say that our only purpose in conducting this celebration is to show our appreciation to the thousands of people whom we serve—many since our inception in May, 1893. It will always be our aim to m~-it their confidence and ~ respect. Commencing Saturday We celebrate by announcing 28 specials —articles of merchandise that men, women and children need now, at prices every one can afford. 28 Birthday Specials Men’s Clothing and Furnishings 1—150 Men’s fancy Suits. .$29.50 2—133 Men’s plain and fancy Suits .........$37.50 3—125 Blue Serge Suits. ..$37.50 4—247 Men’s plain and fancy Suits 5—60 “Prep” High School 6—“Prep” Suits (2 pair No. 7—77 British Golf Suits . ..$47.50 No. 8—White Flannel Trousers $6.50 No. 9—360 fine Percale Shirts.. $1.35 No.10—2,500 Woven Madras No.11—Deimel Linen Shirts and Drawers at No.12—White Athletic Union No.13—$1 and $1.50 Neckwear. .
