FA|RLAWN SALE
$4,000, SAYS
TERRETT
Natural DesirabiIity Of Ana
costa Subdivision Enhanced
by New Park.

"Fairlawn is going to go over
strong"
That was the expression of con-
fidence forthcoming from H. b.
Terrett, selling agent for the South
east Realty Corporation. owners OF
Fairlawn, the new Anacostia SUBJ
division, in an interview the latter
part Of this week. Mr.. Terrett falrly
radiates optimism when talking over
the prospects of his tract ana the
advantages it holds forth to pros
pective purchasers.
From the enthusiastic response
on the part of the public to our
first two announcements" he stated
further, cit is q certainty that Fair
lawn Is going to develop into one
of the most thickly settled suDW'
visions in its particular section OF
the District. The many advantages
that hold forth there to the ordi-
nary home owner of moderate means
offer such superb attractions that
the buying public finds it almost
impossible to refrain from respond
ing.
"It will be remembered that Fair.
lawn, besides offering q chance to
the average man to own his own
home and have little green around
it. is Immediately adjacent to the
new Government Anacostia Park
project, which will be one OF the
most beautiful and attractive mu-
nicipal parks in America when 1t is
completed. according to official
statements.
"With such a development right
at the back door, as one might say
Of Fairlawn, there is every reason to
believe that the trend Of home
seekers will be toward a LOCATION
convenient to such a playground.
The present flats that disfigure the
banks Of the Anacostia river are to
be eliminated entirely ana their
place taken by a beautiful parkway
to which people from all sections OF
Washington will flock. Remember,
this is no dream but an actual
reality: work has already been be-
gun on the parkway Improvement
process.
"It stands to reason, then, that
any land in the neighborhood Of
such a tremendous Improvement Is
bound to enhance In value and ia
increase in the public regard. That
IL why Fairlawn has such a bright
future before it-why purchasers of
lots there will not only be securing
for themselves home sites Of natural
beauty and attraction, but be max.
ing an investment that in the years
to come will amply repay them
many, many times over.
GAS q speculation pure and simple,
Fairlawn lots are worth while. But
we are not going after the specu.
lators. What we want Is plenty Of
purchasers who really intend to
build their homes and settle down
right there in the subdivision. And
to assist them in this worthy end
we stand ready to help finance the
homes they build, assist them in
choosing plans and attending to
the thousand and one details tf"'
accompany such a momentous MAJ
ter.
Eyes, sir! There isn't a particle
Of doubt about 1t! Fairlawn is one
of Washington's best subdivision
buys in it's particular class, and ii
is going over-strong!'

And the first thing l shall magic is the Magician's green whiskers. but listen, Raggedy Ann." the old Witch whispered and she leaned over and talked so low, Raggedy Ann could hardly hear her. But Raggedy Ann nodded her rag head and smiled as wide as she could.
 That will be a nice thing to do!' Raggedy Ann said out loud. And Tlr bet it will please the Magician very. very much, for I do not believe he would wish it for himself. for fear it might be a selfish wish"
 Then I shall do it, Raggedy Ann!" the old Witch laughed, Wont he be surprised?"
 You bet he will" Raggedy Ann said out loud to the old Witch, then to herself she thought And so will you tool" For you see, whatever it was that the old Witch inteded for the Magician, Raggedy Ann intended doing for the old Witch. So the old Witch closed her eyes and held the right and left handed safety pins tight in her hands and male a wish. Then while she was doing this Rag gedy Ann made the same wish for the old Witch.

TOURISTS PROTEST GERMAN TAKING 0F
 YANKEE PICTURES
Teuton Producers Flooding Europe With PhotopIays Ap-

BERLIN, June 10.-American tour ists gathered here Saturday protest ed against the bad name given America in Europe by German fakes" of Yankee films.
 It was revealed that American movies have become so popular on the continent that clever German producers, with one eye fixed on the bottomless pit of the German mark and the other turned to the huge sum in dollars American releases command, are flooding Europe from the Baltic to the Balkans with pho toplays aping the real California canned celluloid product.
 These faxed films, it was declared, display the Germans absolute genius for imitation. Corporations calling names as "The Yankee Film Corpo- ration go into such detail in the manufacture of fakes that in one colleEe play pennants of Yale, Co., lumbia and Harvard have been shown, while in another American observers detected the words T love ycu' on the heroines lips

 The Americans protest was based chiefly on the fact that many of the films depict scenes of robbery and violence, giving false idea. of life in the U. $. A. It was decided to warn American producers to protest to the German government through Washington against unfair exploita- tion of their movie reputation.

NEW YORK, June 10.-Publio of fering of $25,000,Oo0 Austrian gov ernment bonds. a part of an interna- tional loan of S126.000,000 to the Austrian republic. will be made in the United States tomorrow by a syndicate of bankers headed by J. P. Morgan & Co.
 The issue, which consists of 2o- year per cent sinking fund gold bonds, will be offered at 90, to yield investors 8 per cent. The bonds are guaranteed as to principal. interest and redemption payment by the gov ernments of Great Britain. France, Czecho- Slovakia, Italy.

 The importance of the Austrian loan. which is being issued Monday" J. P. Morgan, head of the banking firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. said in announcing the offering, Ties in the fact that the attitude of American investors to this loan will show they are interested in helping those na- tions of Europe which are prepared to help themselves toward the re-es- tablishment of their credit.
 Last year at the bankers confer ence. held at Paris, 1 stated that it was my opinion that if the security be given was clearly good and the investors of other tending nations would cooperate to the extent that they felt themselves able to do. be- lievcd that the American mark ct would participate to an important extent, followed by the rehabilita- tion in the European financial situa- tion. At the same time these condi- tions could not be satisfied Now, however, for the first time. loan Is offered which fulfills both condi- tions.

Has the magic worked?' the old Witch asked as she opened her eyes.
 Indeed! 1t has!" Raggedy Ann laughed. Just lok at the Magician now"
 "It worked fine," the old Witch cried as she jumped up and ran to the Magician. Everyone stopped their fun to look at the Magician and the old Witch. For you see, the old Witch had wished for the old Magician to be changed from an old man into a young man. And Raggedy Ann had wished at the same time, for the old Witch to be changed from an old woman into young woman. And both wishes had come true right away.

AIR LINES ARE TO LINK BOMBAY AND LONDON
Proposed Dirigibles To Carry 200
 Passengers Each

LONDON, June 1O-Giant airships, travelling along regular lines on schedule, will soon knit more closely the outlying points of the British empire, it was revealed today.
 The first step Is to be completion which have been officially approved with exception of the question of financing the project. Announcement of the proposed line Is expected from the air ministry in fortnight.
 After India has been linked with the British Isles. Australia, New Zealand and South Africa will be joined by the invisible thread of em- pire along which the most modern and powerful dirigibles will make regular trips, probably twice weekly.
 It will take more than year to put the proposed biweekly service to Bombay into effect. Four hundred passengers then can be accommo- dated on outward and homeward Journeys each week. Lighter-than- air craft with a cubic capacity of 50Oo,O00 feet each will provide fa- cilities for 200 passengers per trip. A speed of so miles an hour will be maintained throughout q 5,000-mile voyage.
 First-class fare between London and Bombay is expected to be $2so. Second-class would be . little less than half that sum.
 A capital of s1s.oo0.o0o Is sougha by promoters of the scheme and the Shell corporation and Vickers are understood to be offering support. The British public Is expected to sub scribe the necessary amount as soon as a stamp of official approval Is put upon the plan.
 British airmen and army officers are enthusiastic. pointing out the

TREASURY ID SEEK $150,000, ,000L0AN
 F0R CURRENT YEAR
New Certificate Issue Will Wind Up Financing Until
 September

WASHINGTON, June 1o-The treasury tonight announced it would seek loan of s15O000,0O0 to round out its financing for the current fis- certificates of indebtedness will ma ture in six months and, it is ex- pected. will be retired largely by tax receipts in the next two quar- terly payments. The interest rate will be four per cent, slightly low ernment securities have paid.
 The new issue will enable the gov ernment to conclude the refunding of it's short dated debt, begun in 1921, and further financing will be not necessary, 1t was stated off cially, until the middle of Septem- Der. Proceeds of the new certifi- cate offer, which will be dated June 15. together with the June Is pay ment of income and profits taxes, expected to amount to $350,000,000 or more, will take care of certificates of indebtedness maturing on that date and provide for the running ex- tember 15. Maturing certificates must be cared for then and off cials expect that some new financing will have to be done at that time.
 About s75.OO0.O 900 in interest on the public debt falls due June 15, but that can be met promptly through the tax receipts as can the inter- est payments due in July and Aug ust. With the treasury carrying a cash balance of close to $500, OO0,000 officials declared today the govern ments financial position was better than the most optimistic supporters of the re-financing program had an ticipated.
 The new offering will result in direct reduction in the volume of certificates outstanding. About $200.- 000,000 in certificates mature June 15 and the probability that the treas- ury will be able to redeem them, make the interest payments on the public debt in June, July and Aug ust care for the ordinary expendi- lures at the same time gives cause, it was declared. for general dissatis- faction as to the progress made in shaving down the great wartime debt which at one time approached $25.O00, 100000.
 Curtailment of many lines of ex- penditures through the elimination of appropriations has saved the treasury from drains that carried away vast sums in 1920 and 1921, according to officials.
 The current fiscal year, treasury officials assert, will be finished with a surplus of ordinary receipts over expenses of about $145,000,00O.

 Maybe if you would change the Magicians whiskers from green back to white it would make him happy" Raggedy Ann said.
 Dear me, Has the Magician really and truly got green whiskers, Rag gedy Ann?" the Witch asked. T am color blind! And l can not tell green from red, or any other color"
 Yes! His whiskers are green" Raggedy Ann answered. You see, when he tried to magic his whiskers and make them grow nice and long. you made his magic work lopsided, guess. Anyway, you made his whis- kers grow so long he tripped up on them. Them when I tr1ed to unma gic his whiskers, your magic made them turn green a s grass."
