BIG POLO TOURNEY
SEASONS CLIMAX
Ancient Game Rapidly Gain
ing in Popularity Among
Sportsmen.

Spurred on by the success of
their recent tournament members
of the war department polo team
are planning an extensive schedule
to be played in Potomac park dur
ing the summer and will close the
campaign in September with a
tournament in which some of the
best clubs of the country will COM
pete.
Polo promises to take its place
as one Of the leading outdoor sports
in Washington. Several civilian
teams have been organized since
the recent tournament played here.
This, coupled with the fact that
the games attracted unusually big
crowds. is evidence that the excit-
ing sport is winning many follow
ers.
Circulars Explain Game.
Ardent devotees here of the sport
and others interested in, the game
are doing much to increase its pop
ularity. They have had circulars
printed, explaining the fundamental
points of the game. These were
distributed among the crowds dur
ing the tourney between the war
department and Fort Myer. More
circulars are to be given away at
the next game at Potomac park
which, in all probability will be
played next Saturday.
As the result of the interest
shown by washingtonians. in polo,
the war department has arranged
to play a series of games in Po-
tomac park with a team from Ha-
yana, Cuba Ponies Of the Havana
team have already left Cuba. while
the players will arrive about June
10. Games between the war de-
partment and Havana will prob

the arrival of the Cuban four
At the close of the series OF

ers a team from ,Middleburg. Va,

This will be followed, by "a long

Practice Field I'm Potomac Park.
Activity of local polo enthusiasts
has resulted in. laying off OF a
practice and tournament field in
Potomac park. During practice
games hundreds of motorists in Po-
tomac park are attracted to the
field by the dashing polo ponies
and the fearless horsemanship dis
played by the players.
At present, the war department
team. composed of Maj. John MILL
ken, Maj. J. G. Qaekemyer, Maj.
Potter and Mai. H. NJ. Groninger
are taking part in a tournament in
Philadelphia Their ponies were
shipped to the Pennsylvania city
last Sunday and games are being
played at Bryn Mawr and the

At the conclusion of the Quaker
city tournament members of the To-
cal team plan to work on sched- :
ule that will call for two games a
week at Potomac park. probably ON
Wednesdays and Saturdays.

BIG REGATTA TO Be
STAGED TOMORROW
Sycamore Island Will Be
Scene of Annual Water
Event.

Memorial day will mark the offi-
cisl opening of the 1891 camping
season on the Potomac. as on that
day the annual canoe regatta of the
Interclub Canoe association will be
held at Sycamore Island. There are
a few already firmly intrenched for
the camping season, but The major
ity of the camps are in the process
of construction.
The Rock Haven Canoe club al
ready is open for the season. This
club was founded in 1919 by Frank
Taylor, and was organized last
year. The club numbered six mem
bers last year, while this year IL
has nine members. so that it can
be seen that it is growing by leaps
and bounds.
Organized without 0meers.
The camp is run on an organized
basis, but without a president or
officers, every man having an equal
voice in the doinEs Of the camp.
1t is rather odd thing, but every
member of this club is forced by
an iron-clad agreement to agree to
stay at the camp over a period of
five months. extending from April
Is to September Is. There are two
funds. one the mess fund. the other
a camp fund. Every member. OF
course. is asked TO pay fee. but
this is a nominal one.
In the summer the camp pzrtiti-
pates in all the canoe regattas. this
being the. favorite sport of the
campers during the summer
months. In the winter Rock Ha-
ven Is a member of a bowling
league, in which nine other camps
participate. The camp often en-
tertains friends from various
states. ,s--.

When the crews approached the

European Markets
Offer Chances for
American Paints
Belgium a Large Importer;
Central Agency in Spain
Is Advocated to Increase
Sales of the u. S. Product

European markets for paints and
varnishes are discussed in series of
reports made to the Department of
Commerce by it's representatives
abroad.
Belgium imports practically all of
the products needed for the manufac-
ture and use of paints, though in the
case of zinc, lead and linseed oil it i'm
ports the raw materials and extracts
the greater part of the base product
needed. There is no duty on any chem
lcal products, and consequently foreign
products are able to compete with home
products, even with the present handi-
cap of high exchange rates. England
Germany, France, Holland, Switzerland
and the United States are the chief
countries from which paints and var
nishes are imported.
There are in Holland at present m ore
than one hundred manufacturers Of
paints and varnishes, the bulk of raw
materials used by them being imported.
Less than 20 per cent of the prepared
paints put on the market are imported.
1t is estimated that 40 per cent of the
yarnishes are imported. Imported var
nish, especially English, is acknowl-
edged to be of superior quality, and,
although fully 100 per cent higher in.
price than the domestic product, is
finding steadily increasing market.
Eighty-fve per cent of the varnishes
used in the Malaga district of Spain
are obtained from foreign countries,
principally from England. A central
agency under American management
established in Barcelona, the chief port
and commercial center of Spain, would,
it is stated, probably be the best way
to place any foreign product on the
Spanish market
The metric system of units is used
in Spain in marking the contents of
paint cans and containers. One of the
objections to the paints and varnishes
from the United States is that the cans
and containers are labeled in English
and state the contents in American
units, instead of being labeled in Span
ish, with the contents or weight stated
in metric units.
The Swiss market is at present life
less. Unemployment in the building
business and in the painters profess
sion is most pronounced. In contrast
to this situation are the preparations
that are being made to secure business
when normal conditions return. Swiss
manufacturers, unable to continue their
export business, devote increased at
tention to the domestic market. Fa-
vored by their exchange, Germany and
France are trying to reenter it, and
England is stressing the prestige for
meriy enjoyed by its products.
