A weu-known Broadway actress and an
equally prominent actor have Just re-
turned from Blackwells Island. where un-
der an assumed name they took treat
ment for drug addiction. The woman is
said to be an opium sm oker and the man
a user of cocaine.
The reports are that drug addiction, in
stead Of being decreased by recent laws,
Is on the increase. Charles B. Towns,
who knows more about drug hends than
any other man, declares that despite the
various laws enacted the nation has not
awakened to the peril Of the drug
menace.
He declares that the State must pro-
vide places for drug derenets to be en-
well nigh impossible to wean them from
the habit unless their minds are kept
busy with something to do.
A chorus girl from the Midnight FrolIcs
took her nrst lesson in ice skating this
week. Her only comment afterward was
that II was too bad that the fad did not
come until bustles had gone out Of style.
George F. Worts went out to interview
Mary Pickford the other day and Incl
dentally took up A.5Ss Of her time. Mary
sighs for the good old days.
Sigh-S712.

gether again without having any parts
left over. Most men have dozen or
50 left over.
Not many years ago she decided that
the auto business was going to be to
the Pacific Coast what the movies are
to Los Angeles so she bought her a car
and not only learned TO drive but how
to take It all apart. She did this sew
eral times a week and then established
an agency.
Now she has sixteen branches and in
seven years has made enough money to
retire. She recently sold the business to
grouD OF Frisco capitalists and all
alone she motored from Frisco to New
York. She had three breakdowns but
being her own nechanician IL bothered
her not one whit. At the Hotel Majestic
she told a group OF reporters that she did
not see anything unusual In her work.
My goodness" she exclaimed naIvely.

money. You don't mean TO tell me New

BIG GERMAN AIR FLEET
NOW READY FOR FRAY
Only Waiting Favorable Weather for
Massed Attack on Allied Lines.
Paris Reports.
BY C. r. BERTELLI.

Special Cable TO The Washington Herald.
Paris, Feb. 3.-Germany has been i'm
proving her fighting air craft, and now
has. according to information received
by the French military authorities half
dozen different types of aeroplanes
far superior as fighting and reconnoiter-
ing machines to anything heretofore en-
ployed.
AS soon as the weather is favorable
the new machines will be seen In action
along the allied lines.
Besides the speedy Fokker, which is
a rather delicate machine to handle,
the Germans have perfected what is
known as the l. V. G. biplane. This
Is a machine of 1eo horsepower with a
speed of 100 miles an hour at a height of
5000 feet.
The Germans also possess improved
Aviaticks, Albatross and other planes, ac-
cording to captured aviators. These, It
is said, will swarm over the allied lines
In the spring.

Incidentally. he might find a car to his
liking to represent in this territory.
There are some who imagine that be-
cause they have their car equipped with
sk. d chains when the streets are covered
with snow and slUsh, they can travel as
fas. as suits their convenience and still
have tho car under control at all times,
Such IS not the case Skid chains will
enable you to stop the car quickly and
prevent 1t from s..dding sideways, but
until they cut through the snow and
slush to the solid surface beneath they
are but Of little value. II pays to eXer-
else caution under all conditions.
1t is understood that there are to be
at least two more private automobile
shows in Washington within the next
month. Encouraged by the success OF

exhibition of this kind does much L
stimulate interest in your particular cal
and the business in general People
come with a twO-fold purpose: first, out
of curiosity to see the car. and secondly
because they are really interested in &
certain machine or one that seels some
where about the same price.
Unfortunately. there is no place In tht
city large enough to hold an automobile
show where all can display their wares
at once. The next best thing is tht
private show. 1t has been suggested that
next season all should get together ano
decide upon a sort of a private show
week, when all would decorate their sales
rooms and have on display as many oi
the different models of their various car'
as possible. Those who have talked about

~ summary of the local industrial
ituation:
The population of Richmond at the
census of 1910 was 22,324. and it is
estimated that it was $4,000 on July l,
1914. The statistics represent the es-
Establishments located within the cor
porate limits OF the city.
The capital invested, as reported In
1914. was s10.969. 900. In this connec-
ton it should be stated that the in
quiry contained III the census schedule
calls for the total amount of capital,
both owned and borrowed, invested in
the business, but excludes the value of
rented property. plant, or equipment
which was employed In the conduct of
manufacturing enterprises. In the
final bulletins and reports the rental
paid for such property will be shown
