Two new buildings in the Greater Washington plan are expected to be added to the Federal building pro- gram by action of the House tomorrow under suspension of the rules, through approval of the Dallinger bill provid- ing for a new House office bullding at an authorized cost of $8,400,000 for site and construction and the Elliott bill creating a commission to prepare preliminary plans and cost estimate for a Supreme Court building to be sub- mitted not later than March 1. ‘The Dallinger bill authorizes $800,000 to acquire all privately owned land in the two parcels on either side of South Capitol street, between B and C streets, New Jersey and Delaware avenues just south of the Capitol and west of the present House office building.

SHOPPING METHODS CHANGE IS LAUDED New Vogue, Prevalent in Wash- ington, Is Nation-Wide in Scope, Shaw Says. ‘The : change in Christmas shopping methods, so apparent in ‘Washington stores this month, is country-wide, ac- cording to Edward D. Shaw, secretary of the Merchants and Manufacturers’ Association, who said yesterday that the “esrly Christmas shopping” campaign launched originally by women's organi- zations interested in the welfare of store clerks has gained such vogue “that it seems to have radically changed the holiday shopping habits of thousands of people.” Added strength also has come from the Post Office Department, which has urged early shopping and mailing as the means of eliminating mail con- gestion. “The public's change to a more sen- sible Christmas shopping method has likewise changed the merchandising methods of our Washington stores,” Mr. Shaw sald. “The progressive merchant today had his complete holiday stocks ready for shopping early in November instead of waiting until well after the first of December. The older mer- chants contrast this with conditions which obtained only a few years ago before the public changed its Christmas shopping habits. Every kind of store engaged in the distribution of mer- chandise welcomes the change. They are able through the lengthening of the holiday shopping season to more ac- curately meet their customers’ needs nnd]w give the customers much better service.” A Truly Remarkable Domestic Coal— Great Valley Anthracite Mines in Virginia Prepared in All Sizes for Household Use—Contains No Mixtures danted o sll heating plagis.
