CONVENTION CITY

A committee Of twenty-five has
been appointed by President Robert
y. Harper Of the Washington Cham
Der Of Commerce, TO institute an
active campaign to bring conventions
to Washington.
Washington and Atlantic City were
formerly the show places" OF the ma
ton, and conventions of all kinds
from the country over were held at
these two places, with Washington
well in the lead.
The discouraging OF traffic during
the war and inability of local hotels
to take care Of even their regular
guests put damper on Washington
as convention city. There have
been few such gatherings here in the
last two years.
Negotiate for Liberty Hut.
Now, with the heavy demand on
local hotels beginning TO let up the
Chamber of Commerce will undertake
to bring conventions to the city as
in the past They have been waiting
only for hotel owners to notify them
that large numbers Of transients could
be taken care of.
The chamber is also negotiating
for Liberty Hut, on Union Station
plaza, which is the only place in the
city where any very large body Of
persons could meet at one time
Sn selecting his committee Colonel
Harper has been careful 10 pick out
representatives from practically every
line Of business in Washington which
will benefit directly by the presence
OF delegates to convention here
Five OF them are hotel men. They
are:

In the petitions, It is stated, the
Public Utilities Commission was in
error when it placed the tentative
valuation OF the company 1T $4,000

sons. one being that the valuation ex-
cludes the Washington Interurban
railway, the company's property in
Maryland. With the 6 per cent al
lowed, the company should receive .
return of 5000, 900 as allowed by this

Million Homes
Needed in i. S.

and high cost Of materials prevented
the construction Of houses which the
natural growth of population rendered
necessary. Then came Secretary Nc
Adoo's appeal for the restriction of
building operations to minimum dur
ing the war. For time building vir-
tually stopped Funds that otherwise
might have gone into homes, business
blocks. and factories were invested in
Liberty bonds.
Nor have some of the causes which
checked building operations disappear
ed with the war. Materials are al
most as scarce and In many cases more
costly than they were during the strug-
gle. Whatever reduction of wages
may have occurred in some of the
countries, there is none in the United
States. and as a result there appears
to be no definite program for the
prompt and speedy erection of homes
in the United States.

Sometimes, Miss Hammond said, a
patient would be brought into the hos
pital with his leg smashed to pieces.
Instead of making a hurried amputa-
ton, every effort was made to save
the injured limb. 1t was put into a
| frame, and in short time the smashed
bones would take position, knit, and
begin to grow together, while the splin-
tered bits would gradually work their
way out of the leg through the flesh.

is no wonder that many and varied sug-

While excessive thinness might be at
tributed to various and subtle causes in
different individuals 1t Is a well-known fact
that the lack of sufficient phosphorus in
the human system is very largely respon-
