SiSstory of the
The Packet Sale was invented by the Palais Royal department
chief for Silks and Dress Goods. The first sale dates back to 1911,
when our chief was associated wTith John Wanamaker. Think of
it?on August 3 of 1911, the sales of "packets" amounted to no
less than $10,000. History is to be repeated ? in Washington to
morrow, at the Palais Royal. Particularly note?The Silks are all
new, lately from the importers'.
1C
Thousands off "Packets" Here
For the last two weeks five nimble experts have been arrang
ing these "packets." Thousands of them will be on exhibition and
for sale here tomorrow?on Second Floor?beginning promptly at
8:30 o'clock. Look for Silks worth many dollars per yard, not less
than the standard Silks at moderate prices. Dressmakers are inter
ested?they can secure prize packets that will bring them enormous
profits later.
Solving a Difficult Problem
To satisfactorily distribute vast quantities of Silks and Dress
Goods in dress lengths or less was long a problem. With each
length folded on a heavy card, tied so that the material, pattern
and color can be easily examined; with the length, the former value
and the present price plainly marked on each packet the selling
and buying is made eminently satisfactory.

TREE BLIGHT EXPLAINED.
Beetles Do Not Kill Locnst Trees Ex
cept Late in Summer.
Answering a recent inquiry regarding
the insect which has caused the pre
vailing blight of the locust trees, the
bureau of entomology says:
"The insect attacking the black locust
in this District is the locust-leaf beetle,
known scientifically as odontota dor
salis.
"It is a well distributed species, which
occurs annually to some extent on all
locust trees east of the Rocky moun
tains, and has not been known to kill
the tret-s, unless Injury begins late In
the summer. Where it occurs In unusual
numbers, as during the present season,
it may be controlled by the application
of a spray of arsenate of lead at the
rate of three pounds to fifty gadorre of
water when the beetles first make their
appearance in the spring.
"At the present time, since the ma
jority of the leaf-mining larvae have be
gun to issue, it is doubtful if spray ap
plications would prove of any value."
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
There was a large attendance of mem
bers and visitors at the July meeting of
Washington Council Tuesday evening.
There were several spirited debates on
various subjects of Interest to the cpun
cil. The report from the chapter con
cerning the proposed celebration of
Columbus day was approved. District
Deputy Joseph M. Kelly of Chico. CaL,
gave an entertaining account of the de
? Sft..'
velopment of the order on the Pacific
coast.
The annual meeting of the Supreme
Council of the Knights of Columbus will
be held at Boston, Mass.. August 5 to
7. inclusive, and the members of the or
ganization in that city are making
elaborate arrangements for the enter
tainment of the delegates to the conven
tion, ind of the large number of guests
who are expected.
On the night of August 4 there Is to be
a grand exemplification of the fourth de
gree, to be followed by a banquet, at
which it is expected 2,500 persons will
participate. Tuesday morning there will
be a solemn pontifical high mass at the
Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston.
The convention will open after the serv
ices at the cathedral, the delegates to
the convention being taken on a boat
down the harbor, where the opening ex
ercises will be held, followed by a shore
dinner at Nantasket. The succeeding
sessions of the convention will be held
at the Hotel Somerset.
Quite a number of the members of the
order in this jurisdiction are making ar
rangements to visit Boston during the
week of the convention. The delegates
from the District of Columbia to the Su
preme Council, and who will participate
in the convention, are State Deputy Ed
ward P. Harrington and Past State
Deputy Thomas J. Donovan.

Senator Williams of Mississippi has in

age fund and provide for the reclama

through the south and middle west." The
bill would put Into the drainage fund
money received from the sale of lands In
thirteen western and southern states,
and would direct the Secretary of the
Interior to have surveys made and let

STAGED MOCK BURGLARY
TO COVER SUICIDAL ACT
Definite Conclusion Beached in
Mystery Surrounding New "iork
Policeman's Death.
XEW YORK, July 26.-The belief ex
pressed yesterday that Policeman James
R. Cahill, who was found dead in trve
yard of St. Matthew's Catholic Church In
Brooklyn Monday morning, had commit
ted suicide, is now the definite conclu
sion reached by Deputy Police Commis
sioner Dougherty, who took personal
charge of the inquiry into the supposed
killing of the policeman by burglars.
If Cahill killed himself he staged the
act with dramatic cunning, for In the
church door was found a burglar s
jimmy, and the policeman's body bora
three stab wounds as well as a bullet
wound. It appears, however, that the
stabs, in the region of the heart, were
but superficial wounds.
The police also found that the shot
which killed Cahill was from a corroded
cartridge similar to several which the
policeman had borrowed from a fellow
otticer during the night of the tragedy
A motive for the staging of a burglary
to cover a suicidal act is seen by the
police in the fact that if Cahill had been
killed on duty his widow would have re
ceived, as is customary In such instances,
nearly $20,<*?0 in death benefits. The
members of the Cahill family still refuse
to accept the theory, however, that the
policeman committed suicide.
