Green declared that this “can well be | emuiated by other building trades councils throughout the Nation.” Green also defended section 7-a of the recovery act. Secretary of Labor Perkins praised the new Welfare Committee plan as being a real “result” of new co-opera- tion. She expressed belief that a pro- posed new compensation fund might successfully be set up here as in other | States to prevent loss to both work- men and employers, and suggested also that much could be done for further prevention of accidents—and for “reg- | ularlizing” employment in the Dis- trict through long-distance planning. As a prospect for giving further employment to labor here, Secretary Perkins explained that slum clearance | projects contemplated by the Housing Division of the P. W.

An agreement reached | \ch his discovery. “I told my wife about it and we didn’t know what to do,” Bridges said. “I don't know how I managed to keep it a secret all Winter. There | was times when I sure thought I'd| have to spend some of it. I heard | them talkin’ downtown that the gold notes wasn't legal, or something, so I was afraid to try to spend it. Then I heard they was legal, and that was when I tried to spend one of them last Saturday. “When I first got it I hid it way out in a plowed field. But I couldn't | sleep nights.” I kept thinkin’ what if | it was to get plowed up, or something. Then I tgok and hid it near the barn where no one could find it. But still I couldn't sleep. “I kept thinkin’ what if the stock was to get to tramplin’ around there and step on it, or turn it up. almost jump out of bed. “I'm telin’ you, I ain’t enjoyed & good night's-sleep up until last Sat- urday. It's sure a load off my mind.” Where the money came from is a | mystery. The farm adjoining the | place is the Groves farm. John Groves, who died some years ago, was wealthy. He was known to be eccentric, espe- | cially in money matters. ) Last Saturday Bridges offered a Stockton merchant a $10 bill from his find. The bill was so old and so un- | usual that the merchant, as well as a banker, thought it counterfeit. It was then that Bridges went to Probate Judge Boyd Spencer, who owns the farm on which Bridges lives, and told him about it. Today they came to Springfield, consulted a lawyer and decided to di- vide the money equally. Between F & G Sts. in Kentucky. PHILADELPHIA, May 1.—Hugh 8. | Johnson, former N. R. A. adminis- | trator, is saving what he calls “the | speech of his career” for a bigger au- | dience. Coming here last night to e the United Business Men's Associa- | tion, the erstwhile chief whipcracker | of the codes ordered away micro- | phones of two stations and confined himself to an extemporaneous talk. David E. Triester, association presi- | dent, said the general was consider- ably put out when informed that a | national hook-up had not been ar- ranged and at first threatened not to come at all. | The other address, or which he said | he worked three or four days, will be | made in Kentucky on May 7, the gen- | eral said. | | In his talk to the business men Johnson said the “N. R. A.is & sczred «a | every time I heard a board creak I'd Tat now.” Declaring the outlook for the Blue | Eagle “is not very favorable” he urged a “middle-of-the-road course” between “the menace of the radicals” | and the “inflexible attitude of the re- actionaries” as the way out of the de- | pression. .

Pearson, an employe of the District since 1917, was appointed | chief clerk of the engineer depart- | ment yesterday to succeed William | Handiboe, who asked to be returned to his old position as assistant clerk.

You fellows know that a Fashion Shop garment is a per- fect garment inside and out.

I’M SELLING OUT THE 9th & E FASHIGN SHOP I've never bought a suit or topcoat or over- coat to sell in regular stock for less than $19.50. I am giving away quite a few of them at $10* (while they last). I couldn’t . SHOP, INC. duplicate them at that price at wholesale. I am going to sell out several groups of suits and topcoats at $12.75* and $14.75*. (When have you ever seen Fashion Shop clothes at such prices at the peak of the season?) $16.75will buy a suit or top- coat worth $29.50. At $19.75 I'll give you grades up to $34.50. (Can’t you just see the crowds?) From $21.75 to $26.75 I'm going to give you our finer grades. .. you know. . .the kind the Fashion Shop is fa- mous for. I am turning out a special group of Worumbo and fine Imported Camel Hair Coats at $23.75. Our finest Llama wools, camel hairs and tweeds will be sold regardless of former selling prices. I told you I wasn’t going to quibble about price and I mean it!

I've got robes and rain- coats and sweaters and pajamas and everything you need down to the tiniest collar button at prices that show I want to get this thing over with in a big hurry. (*) Items starred on sale at 9th & E Fashion Shop only. “Selling Out Prices” At 13th & F Fashion Shop, Too! Obviously, I can’t be slashing prices at 9th and E and charge regular prices at 13th and F. So I am closing out every item duplicated in the 13th and F Street stock. The big excitement, of course, will be at 9th and E, but if you don’t feel like fighting your way through the crowds this sale will draw, drop in at 13th and F and make your se- lection there. Fine stores like the Fashion Shop are not closed out every day. Ten years might pass before you see another store full of fine merchandise closed out at such reckless prices. Alterations at cost!
