Days when OK: carts. with slaves

visions to Center market and the old
Northern Liberty market, and when
Pennsylvania avenues murky mud in
wet weather and flying dust In dry
weather were a disgrace to the ma
ticn's capital" were brought back
viyidly to members Of the Columbia
Historical Society last night in the
Cosmos Club Assembly Hall. when
Washington Topham presented a COM
prehensive and well prepared paper
on "Old Center Market and Vicinity, =
Mr.. Topham reviewed 125 years ct
the development of the city In that
neighborhood. referring TO many
newspapers of the periods he men,
toned for descriptions of conditions
several times during his address,
especially the Intelligencer, the Re-
publican and The tSar. IA
Worked Two Years on Facts. y
Mr.. Topham spent two years in re-
search work and Investigations in
preparing the paper. He drew his
facts in chronological fashion not
only from old publications. but from
interviews with Washingtonians who
remembered clearly the conditions OF
the times he described.
The paper which he presented last
night will be included i'm the next
annual publication Of the society.
which will make the twenty-fourth
volume Of a series which comprises
Washington, written by members Of
the society. after careful research and
inquiry.
Mr.. Topham brought graphic touches
into the talk by describing the man
ner in which men, such as Daniel
Webster and Gen. Winfield Scott. did
their marketing at the Center Market.
He quoted a letter from the latter to
a friend. telling of the sudden ac-
QUESTION of a green turtle" and re-
questing the presence of the friend
at a repast when the soup of that
turtle would be the feature Of the
meal.
Oil Lamps Made "White Way"

vania avenue in 1912. giving the city
its first white way" from the Capitol
to the White House was one Of the

detail.
1t was the fire at the old Center

formed one of the most interesting
items of the presentation. Mr.. Top
ham described the conditions there
previous to 1870 and the urgent me-
cessity for the improvement of the
old shacks and sheds which bestrewed
the space about the central structure
of the market.
Except for the loss of two lives
and a considerable amount of pri-
vate property. the fire which burned
the market to the ground. despite
the efforts of the engine companies
of. the time. including the Persever-
ance Engine Company and South

as a benefit to the city. Headlines

SOON WILL STATE POLICY
ON TRADE ASSOCIATIONS
Commerce and Justice Departments
Will Unite in Forthcoming
Announcement,

Policy of the government toward
activities of trade associations in the
light of the recent decision of the Su-
preme Court in the Hardwood Lumber
Association case has been drafted by
conferees representing the Justice and
Commerce departments. Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty said last night. He
added that within a few days a state
ment probably would be issued either
by himself or Secretary Hoover out
lining how far these associations
could go in the collection and dis
tribution of trade information under
the Supreme Courts decision.
Agreement between the two de-
partments upon the text Of the dec
larations is expected. Mr.. Daugherty
indicated, as soon as some details
have been ironed out. The Justice
Department, he said, wishes to give
the Commerce Department. which is
planning to publish trade figures col
lected by these associations, the bene-
fit of its judgment so that the Com
merce Department may inform the as
sociations how far they may go if any
doubt arises on any phase of the Su
preme Courts decision.
AT the same time. he added. con-
sideration was being given to how far

titude could go without embarrassing
the Justice Department in any pro-
ceedings it might institute against
such associations.

telling of the overrunning of the
neighborhood of the market with
rats during the tearing down of old
buildings about the market at the
time when the reconstruction pro-
ceedings were about to be initiated.
He cited notices which appeared for
the public, inviting the owners of
good ratter dogs to visit the scene
at 4 o'clock during the day and par
ticipate in a public rat batting. Sew
eral thousand rats were considered
an ordinary killing.

ARMS CONFERENCE
REQUIRED IN SOME CLASSES
Compositions in History and Civics
Courses, Business High. May Be
Used In The Stars Contest.

the senior and junior high schools,
Business has not arranged any spe-
cial assemblies at which individual
students will be called upon to dis
cuss various topics relating to the
conference. Teachers at Business
believe that the study of the parley
can be more effectively handled in
small groups.
The study of the conference devel-
opments is regarded by Business
teachers as the most important work
Of the students at this time. Miss
Nj. +. BRADSHAW of the Business facul-
ty said: we want the students to
take hold of the conference problems
and work them out themselves, so
when the students graduate. they will
be of value to the community"
The date for the closing of the
essay contest will be announced
later. as it will depend upon the ad-
J0urnment of the arms conference.
Meantime the contestants are urged
to keep in close touch with the pro-
ceedings at the conference as fully
chroniCled in the daily press.

AS part of their semester's work
all students in the American history
and ctvics classes at Business High
School will be required to write COM
positions on the conference on the
Limitation of armament. Belief was
expressed by the teachers at this in
stitution today that many of the stu
dents probably will submit copies of
their compositions in The Stars
$1,000 prize school essay contest on
the subject THE Arms Conference
and It's Significance"
1t was pointed out that students in
the American history and civics
classes at Business have devoted much
time to an intensive study of the
arms conference and its proceedings
and are thoroughly familiar with the
various phases of this historical event.
Therefore, the teachers contend that
the Business students who enter The
Stars contest should come in for
consideration when the eighty-eight
cash prizes are awarded to the
winners.
Unlike the programs in several of
