British Industries
Fair Proves Success
Associated Press

LONDON, March 24-British man.
ufacturers made their best bow this
week to the merchants of the world
through the fifth annual exposition
of the British Industries Fair. The
Pennington street house of the Lon
don Docks is filled with exhibits of
china, glass, fancy goods, paper and
toys from $40 factories, and it is ex-
pected these exhibits will be visited
by thousands of merchants from all
parts of the world.
| 1t is a purely British institution,
and none but British manufacturers
are allowed to show their wares. The
first purpose of the fair is to obtain
business for British factories. All
sorts of things are displayed, from
the most expensive to the cheapest.
The toy section is a revelation. Once
they said in Great Britain German
children make what British children
break" but no more, if one is to Judge
by the endless variety of toys shown
in the fair. There are airplanes, rigid
Zeppelins, automobiles, games by the
dozen, whole families Of dolls, fluffy
dogs and china cats. In short, every
thing calculated to delight the child
is there. Once about all the toys
they had in England came from Ger
many. Even now some of them come
from Japan.
Every buyer is the guest of the
Board of Trade under whose direc-
ton the fair is held, each one is
treated with the utmost courtesy.
Eighty thousand invitations were is
sued for the fair, and to the present
the attendance has been all that the
promoter expected. Last years fair
was successful to a marked degree,
resulting in order amounting to l.
000, 900 English pounds. This year,
because Of the inroads made on Ger
man trade, the business is expected
to be eve greater.

DORMITORY RESIDENTS
PERFECT ORGANIZATION

AS a follow-up of a mass meeting
held last week in protest against the
management of the federal employees
dormitories on the Capitol plaza, war
workers perfected an organization at
a meeting in the recreation, hall of
the colony last night. A constitution
and bylaws were adopted and the
name of the organization will be de-
cided upon next week. The welfare
of residents of the dormitories was
cited as the object for organization.
A resolution was adopted excluding
members Of the press from the meet
ing.
A short address was delivered by
Col. Eugene Sanctuary, who was once
in charge of the allotments Of rooms
to war workers.
James H. Weaver, manager of the
hotels, against whose management
protest by a group Of workers has
been directed, last night said that
the women at the meeting did not
represent any organized or recog-
nized sentiment Of residents of the
dormitories.
In an official report on conditions
at the dormitories Weaver stated
that since he took over the manage
ment he had wiped out $4,000 loss
in operation and had now a gain of
$4,000 to show. This money will be
expended in further improvements
for comforts at the dormitories, he
declared.
