" In all our business experience we do not recall the equal of the values we have been able to place in this sale.

Exclusive designs; effective color- ings—that are positively guaranteed. They are actually worth $4.00 195 They’ve been made up according to our specifications of size and proportion—and following our dictation of details of finish.

Harper and Herman E. Gasch of Washington and Repre- sentative R. Walton Moore of Vir- ginia were the principal speakers at the mass meeting held in Leesburg recently to promote the project of improving the Washington-Leesburg pike. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Leesburg Cham- ber of Commerce. The new road, when completed, will give a direct mbtor route to the Virginia oity over a hard-surfaced and well main- tained thoroughfare. The project was so favorably re- ceived that T. Ashby Thompson, pres- ident of the Leesburg Chamber of {Commerce, was instructed to appoint a committee of representative busi ness men of that city to assist the 1 Washington boosters in raising necessary amount to finance the re- surfacing of the old road. OPEN WELFARE CENTER. The new center of the Child Wel- fare Society established through the co-operation of that organization and of Hamline M. E. Church, 9th and P | Streets northwest, was opened this afternoon at the church. This is the first time any Washington church em- barked on an activity of this sort, and the pastor, Rev. H. P. Fox, and congregation of the old church are enthusiastic_over the prospects for | community betterment to be obtain- | 1ed thereby. The new center, the tenth to be established, was arranged for by Dr. Harry S. Bernton, director of the Child Welfare Society. The church has furnished the room and equip- ment, and will also pay a part of the | salary of the nurse in charge. There will "be weekly “consultations” on Wednesdays, followed by mothers’ meetings, both intended primarily as agencies for the prevention of disease among youngstera, % I‘; horticultur- |~ Tyler School Social [The True Homema T PHOTOS OF 61,000 GRAVES.

To dodge the riot and the fuss round many blocks I'd leave my track, and when I hear a fellow cuss it sends a shiver down my back. Yet when my daily tasks are done, and I sit in the ingle nook, to read until the clock strikes one, I want a raw, rip- snorting book.
