people as largely as possible. New homes
have been built for the immigrating
families. and it is estimated that not
less than loo houses have been erected
In Takoma Park as the direct outcome
Of this establishment. Many Of the men
employed in the establishment have pur-
chased their houses and are permanent
residents. The coming OF the Adventists
has materially added 10 the value Of
property at Takoma Park and they have
contributed q large part to tbs recent
development there.
About two miles out IN Maryland the
Adventists have established a large
school and a sanatorium with accessory
buildings which have turned more than
100 acres of farm land and forest into
wealth producing establishments far In
advance of what was there before. A
member Of the general conference is
authority for the statement that the
coming of the Adventists TO Takoma
Park has involved the expenditure Of not
less than s. 100000 In buildings, Industrial
and medical output and the homes OF
the people who have been brought here
TO operate them.
Represents Permanent Growth.
This is all in the nature OF permanent

made TO the working forces at Takoma
Park furnish their snare in the general
trade and well being of Washington.
If something like this shall be dupli-
Gated by the coming Of the American
Medical Association it viii mean far
moro TO the permanent growth OF the
city than can be set down here with an
imperfect knowledge Of what the entire
movement involves.
Another thing should not be lost sight of.
It cannot be said at this time that any
connection exists between the coming OF
the Adventists and the possible coming
of the American Medical Association 10
Washington and the establishment OF
printing and other plants here. It viii
be proof, however. that Washington is
specially advantageous as the national
headquarters Of such societies.

The establishment of second great con-
Germ of this kind here will not fan to
have its effect upon other similar or
ganizations which may be DESTROYS OF

of this kind have sought refuge here, and
IL stands to reason that others will come.

Theater Question Not Important.
The cheap theater proposition, it is
thought by many, will solve itself in a
comparatively short space Of time. Some
say this craze for moving picture shows
will run itself out and vanish, much as
the skating rink did. That people viii
gradually tire of the pictures and that
many of these show houses will give up
is regarded as a foregone conclusion.
Perhaps the shows will be modified into
pictures and continuous vaudeville. and
a few of the better ones will survive. but
real estate men generally do not believe
that the picture show will endure or can
endure very long as they now are and in
such multiplicity. Not that they have any
objection TO that form Of entertainment
for the public. but because the shows must
have patronage, and that they think win
gradually diminish after while nearly
to the vanishing point.
The fate of Pennsylvania avenue, as
question OF the future growth of the
city. is admitted by all 10 be of great
interest. and not a few real estate men
and business men would just now like g
glimpse into the future Of about ten
years to learn, If possible, what will be
the condition of affairs there by 1920.
The discussion of the subject so far
as it has been heard by a representative
of The Washington Herald is one Of prob
abilities. taking into account the obvious
advantages of the thoronghfare as a
business street, and the steady movement
of the business interests into new terri
tory toward the northwest.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
MAY COME HERE
American Association Seeks
New Headquarters

The possibility or likelihood that the
American Medical Association may move
its big printing plant and the offices Of
its headquarters to Washington is a
proposition which appeals strongly to
both the trade bodies Of the city.
It appears that the association is about
TO move It's headquarters from the city
of Chicago. The American Medical
Journal is published by the association.
of the medical profession in this country.
It is said that the plant Of the associa-
ton, including Offices for the association,
will involve an outlay Of about 5000, 900.
1t is understood that the association will
require a large building in which to
house its plant. II is likely also that new
machinery will be purchased for operat-
ing the plant. and the association would
probably provide for half a century
growth in establishing new head
quarters.
VIII he Invited Here.
The Importance of this addition to the
productive agencies of Washington is
very great DR.. William c. Woodward.
health officer Of the District, one Of the
active heads Of the association, left the
city last night TO attend the annual con-
vention of the body. and he is provided
with official invitation from the trade
bodies and the local medical societies
to the association to come to Washing
ton. DR., Woodward seems to be Of the
opinion that a little activity in the way
of giving the national body a welcome
to Washington would settle the question
of its coming. as the controlling body is
understood TO be favorable TO the Capital.
What the coming Of this association 70
