CABINE CHDEES SHIN LOW SHLARY Difficulty of Getting Best in| Midst of Rush for Places Is Apparent. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Cebinet making by the political archi- tects is now in full season. President-elect Roosevelt has “sound- ed out” through intermediaries a num- ber of prominent inditiduals. Most of the conspicuous names will not be cn the final cabinet list. Business respon- sibilities and personal considerations| will prevent those men from accepting. | of a cabinet officer 1s Many of the successful re earning incomes in excess of £50,000 a year. live in Washington in the style to which such men have been accustomed is hardly possible on £12,000 a year salary unless incomes are supplemented by their pri- vate estates. But most of the invest- ments of the active business men have suffered like all other estates in income shrinkage, and 1f these men severed their business connections—which is, of course, required by law—they would lose their ncrmal salaries as well. Means Loss for Ablest. The upshot of it is that it is gen- erally agreed that with only a few ex- ceptions the ablest men in the Demo- cratic party cannot’ afford financially ,to_come to Washington. There is no lack of office seekers, some of whom can comfortably take care of the financial requirements, but this type of job hunter constitutes a mediocrity hardly compatible with a national crisis of major proportions. Mr. Roosevelt is known to have fixed upon James Farley, Democratic national chairman, for Postmaster General. | If any woman is named to the cab- inet it will be Frances Perkins, State labor commissioner of New York. Henry Wallace of Towa, a son of the man who served in the Harding cabinet as Secretary of Agritulture, is being| seriously considered for the same post his father occupied. Norman H. Davis is favorably thought of for Secretery of State. John W. Davis is mentioned fre- quently for Attorney General, though some reports have it that he will be asked to become Ambassador to Great Britain. Bernard M. Bamich, suggested for Secretary of the Treasury, and Jesse Straus for Secretary of Commerce, both hail from New York, so it is believed that only one will be invited to serve Mr. Baruch was offered the secretary- | ahip of the Treasury by President Wil- | son but declined. The business world is hoping he would accept this time. Glass Valuable in Congress. Senator Glass of Virginia could be in the cabinet if he desired, though his influence in Congress is believed to be sought more than his participation in the cabinet, where he already has served as Secretary of the Treasury Senator Walsh of Montana is another name mentioned for Attorney General, but he is believed to prefer to stay in the Senate, The gossip in polictical circles is there have been no outright of porifolios, but that Mr. | evelt has used third parties to find | w some of the men of prominence | whose names have bzen identified with | talk cf Cabinet pcsitions might feel | entering his Cabinet, | tenders” or “declination” ay be expected to an- | r ecemeal inasmuch | urgency for the| Secretaries of State, than any of Cabinet officials are do what they can in the s to inform their respective ssors aboui the status of current matters pending before the Government and thus be able to make their per- sonal plans as well as aid the post of | Assistant Secretaries and lesser execu- | tives to synchronize their personal plans for the future with the dates on | ‘which can feel free to leave the Government service.

Tomorrow We Begin a January Linen and Bedwear Selling That is Different —different, because we are not quoting comparative prices, which frequently tell little about true values—but, depend upon this, identical qualities have until now been carried in our regular stocks at much higher prices. —different, because we have not bought job lots and close- outs. We have included standard, high quality merchandise from our regular sources. —different, because we have been able to concentrate more thoroughly than ever on making this a really outstanding selling. —different, because it contains great varieties of linens for the kitchen, linens for the dining room, linens for the bathroom— and sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and comforts. —different, because many of the offerings can only be found here in Washington. Many are our own direct importations. —and so, The January Selling of Linens and Bedwear (beginning tomorrow) is a splendid opportunity to restock your linen closet, at prices that are very much lower than the same qualities have been regularly marked this season.
