Washington Still Is in the Lead for
Permanent Headquarters
City.

A majority of the delegates TO the an
nual convention OF the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
welcomed Sunday and the cool weather
that came with 1t. The past week had
been a trying one. There had been no
let up IN the tedious grind of the re-
vision of the constitution and bylaws by
the convention.
A number of the more energetic dele
gates were up early and attended church
services. Others made short trips to the
various nearby resorts. some going to
Arlington, Fort Meyer. Chesapeake
Beach. Annapolis. and a few spent the
day in Baltimore.
The Hobbies of the various hotels at
which the delegates are stopping were
thronged with visitors. Many OF the dele
gates exchanged calls during the day.
salary Increase Proposed.
One OF the most important matters to
be considered by the convention, that
OF an increase in the salaries of the Of
ficers of the brotherhood. will be the first
business before the convention this morn
ing. There have been reports of opposi-
ton to the proposed increase. but leaders
of the convention declare that the in
crease will be granted by an overwhelm-
ing vote. Sentiment among the older
members of the organization Is unani-
HOusly IN tdNOr OF increasing the salaries
Of the officers all along the line. The
resolution providing for two additional
vice presidents may be reached by the
convention today.
Announcement was made at the Dewey
last night that more than 1900 delegates
and members of their families had regis
tered and that more are arriving. II is
estimated that the convention will have
brought more than 1000 visitors to the
city before 1t adJourns
This week probably will witness i'm
portant developments in the question of
the selection OF a city for permanent
headquarters. Washington at present is
the only city that is openly making a
bid for the headquarters, but a number
Of other cities which have kept under
cover will come out and make an open
fight. Washington seems to have the
best chance to secure the headquarters.
Although the question has not yet been
officially brought before ~the convention,
friends Of the National Capital are busy
lining up the delegates
Tonight Glenn Echo will be turned over
to the delegates. Arrangements have
been made for the delegates to go to the
amusement park in a body. and a royal
time is looked for. The outing viii be
given under the auspices Of Potomac

Congregation on Bust
ness and Religion.
TRUTH IS NECESSARY
Affairs of Mart and Exchange Should
Be Conducted on High
Standards.
EPIGRAMS ON TRUTH
IN ADVERTISING

The great cohesive power of
civilization is confidence.
The invention of credit based
on confidence accounts for the
tremendous development OF bust
ness in every line.
The average man. wherever he
is placed, will measure up to his
duty, and in that sense speak the
truth to his neighbor.
Separation of interests and
specialization of work calls for
greater mutual confidence in all
relationships.
An untruthful merchant is an
enemy to society. and the more
successful he is the worse enemy
he is.
The remedy is in the union of
truthful men. so that the way
of the liar may be hard.
If bow my knee today in the
house OF God and tomorrow
cheat my neighbor. 1 am a hypo-
critic.

dreaded after effects. Mothers who
cling to the old form of physic simply
don't realize what they do. The chill
dren's revolt is well-founded. Their
little stomachs and tender bowels are
injured by them.
If your child is fretful, peevish, half

and it's little system full of cold; has
