BUSINESS SLOGAN
Schwab's Faith In Future shown BY
2S,Oo0,OO0 Expenditure on Extension
Of Big Steel and Ship Plant.

The announcement last week by Mr..
Charles M. Schwab that the Bethlehem
Company would spend $25,0O0,OOO on
the enlargement Of its steel and ship
building plant at Baltimore shows that
he not only talks optimistically, but
that he acts accordingly.
We would rather take Mr.. Schwab's
view on the business outlook in Eu-
rope and America than that Of any
dozen international bankers here and
abroad. Mr. Schwab is practicing what
he has been preaching. He has shown
that he is backing his words with his
works, and If every other business
man would sease to see only the hold
in the diamond ring and not the pre-
cious stone on the outside, we would
soon see a marked betterment in all
business conditions.

ahead 7atiyeness are now the prinme
requisites for revival OF business.
The restrictions on credit are being
lessened, discount rates are being re-
duced, bankers are being told to 90
ahead, and the whole power OF the ad-
ministration is being concentrated
upon business development in con-
trast to the sociallstic trend OF eight
years, which broke down our railroads,
destroyed their prosperity, burdened
the railroads and the nation alike with
that unspeakably cowardly, vicious
Adamson bill the most outrageous
surrender OF manhood this nation ever
made.
We are now In an upbuilding period,
and the time has come for men who
have faith in America to go ahead and
to the extent Of their ability, follow the
example Of Mr.. Schwab. Those who
believe that America is headed down
hill to ruin and destruction are justi-
fled in doing nothing except to bewail

Removal Of Walter Reed Hospital
from its present site to the Soldiers
Home grounds. or to some other Sc
cluded place Of sufficient area to meet
the growing demands of such an in
stitution is suggested as one solution
Of the contest over the proposed ex-
tension Of 18th street north. Repre-
sentative Oscar Z. Keller Of Mime
sofa makes the suggestion and Rep
resentative Florian Lampert of Wis
consin heartily indorses it. Both are
members of the House District COM
mittee.
They say that the Soldiers Home
grounds, comprising more than 500
acres. being an institution for vet
erans, is the proper place for SOL
diers' hospital. and point out that no.
where within many miles of the Ma
tional Capital could be found retreat
so pleasant and helpful to the MANNED
and nervous patients who are now be-
ing concentrated at Walter Reed.
Region Ii Valuable.
both believe that the region about
Walter Reed is very valuable for
residential and commercial uses, and
that the spread Of the city in that
direction should not be impeded.
They realize that a determined fight
will be made to prevent the extension
of a street car line out 18th street
through the Walter Reed grounds
Representative Keller explains that
If the soldier patients are removed
to a new and modern hospital in the
Soldiers Home grounds they will not
only be better situated for care and
quiet, but they will be convenient to
two street car lines. They can get
real quiet and upbuilding surround
ings when the environment of the
present Walter Reed site is built I'D

Suggested by Car Line Issue.
The clash Of opinion between those
urging the extension Of street car
line through the Walter Reed Hos
pital site to develop the residential
section beyond and those who are
opposing such development led Rep
resentative Keller to make this sug-
gestion.
He believes that the government,
il it does not make use of the Sol
