ORGANIZED PLAY
 IS AN ESSENTIAL
So Declares Secretary Davis in
 Prepared Address

l Washington, May 23.--The need of
 organized directed creative play. and life in the great outdoors" for chill dren was emphasized by Secretary Da-
 wis of the labor department, in an address read yesterday before the na- tional conference of outdoor recrea- ton. by his second assistant secretary, R. C. White.
 We shall not do ourselves our children, our community, our country, or the human race, the duty which we owe each and all of them," he said. unless, we shall provide the thingsy which childhood should have hy right--the true recreation and real outdoor life.
 There is not a city fin the United States which cannot provide oppor- tunity for life in the open within a short distance of its crowded environs. When childhood in America is given these things. this country will have done much to cut down the calendars of our juvenile courts. and 10 end the tragedy of child delinquency. These things accomplished, we will have built sure barrier for this country against the hlxuriousness and offemin- acy which have been the ruin of so many of the great nations of the past"
 Outlining his creed. for child rec reation, he urged establishment of well equipped athletic fields and camping facilities, and the providing of opportunities to boys and girls to

BETTER BUSINESS
BY DR.. John ". Laird
Director of Research
THE P14LAIS ROYAL

DR.. Wilfred n Barton. in his instruc
tive book The Road to WASHINGTON"
calls attention to the fact that the District
OF Columbia has grown twenty-three fold
In population in the last one hundred
years. while the whole country, in the
same length of time has grown ONLY
seventeen fold
This is good news for all who are in
terested in bigger and more prosperous
city. The growth of Washington has not
been sporadic and abnormal, but steady
and continuous
Washington business men are in
creaslngly optimistic in their vision and
prophecy of the future economic condi-
tions OF their city.
Every day Washington becomes the
mecca for new families. who are at
tracted here because of the city's natural
beauty, varied social life. and business
possibilities for the enterprising leader
Washington is now in healthy bust
ness condition. 1t is interesting to know
that there is one automobile for every four
inhabitants of. the District For a few
months business has been somewhat be-
low par. but that condition is changing
for the better. Recent Political Events
have tended to create confidence, the stock
market is on the rise, rails especially are
increasingly active in the right direction,
the weather is clearing up, and as result
buving is being stimulated
Because The Palais ROYAL is sharing,
with other enterprising business institu-
tions, the benefits of the growth of Wash
ington it faces both the present and the
future with nothing but the fullest conf
dence in the constant progress of this
great city-the center of America po1iti-
cal life and the worlds most influential
capital.
We are now in the midst of the great
PROFIT SHARING SALE and for
three days thousands of Washingtonians
have been taking advantage of the oppor-
tunitv to buy merchandise at prices
which. for the most part, are the lowest
thev have been in number of years
A casual observer of the patrons that
have been thronging The Palais Royal
during the first three days of this sale can
not fail to see by their very manner that
they are pleased with the wonderful
values they are getting for their money.
This is not the time for the pessimist
to growl. 1t is the hour for the man who
can think straight to measure an unsual
opportunity with vision, skill and venture.
There is light in the business sky.

MUCH GROUND LOST
 IN COTTON VALUES

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The cotton
 market was sustained in the early part of the week by approximations of Slfouth damage to the southwestern crop and hope that the London conference would result in q satisfactory settlement of the reparatiois problerils. After selling up to 27.S3c for October n Wednesday, however, prices broke on reports of rains in parts of Texas, and weakened again today following the government crop report with the price breaking be- low the 271zc level, making a decline of over 250 points from the high figure reached toward the end of last month.
 The government crep report making the condition 6T. 4 and the indicated yield 12,S51 900 bales wac very close ly in line with the private reports is sued during the previous few days, but was evidently disappointment to some recent buyers and failed to create any fresh demand of consequence. As a re- suit there was rather heavy liquida- tion of old long accountsfand 1t appear ed that the supplemnete report which accompanied the governments condi- tion figures was construed as pointing to the possibility of a very satisfactory yield in the event oe fair growing weather for the balance of the season. The rains reported in north and west Texas during the middle of the week were not considered sufficient to relieve the southwestern droutR but the ten- dency to increase estimates of the yield has been encouraged by the abs sence of boil weevil complaints and ia vorable crop reports from east of the river. Trade interests were credited yath buying on scale down from the 2sc Level for October contracts toward ths snd of the week and covering was reported ih expectation of more general crop deterioration reports from the southwest should the weather continue dry over the weekend. Sales of print toiths ip the Fall River market for the week wese es estimatsd at 100000 pieces but buyeIs oS eottou goods in the do- mestic markets generally are said to, be operating for only their more immediate needs and nil curtalment continues.

NTEW stock and bond issues by in
 N dustry during the first six
 six months of this year as com pared with the same period of 1923, show sharp divergence in trends by industrial groups.
 It will be quickly seen in the ac- companying chart that railroads utility corporations and land building organi- cations have floated more new cor porate issues then they did year ago. In distinct contrast, manufacturing cor porations have fallen far below the fig ures for 1923. The total value of new corporate issues, including refunding, as compiled by the Commercial and Financial Chronicle; was $1 ,92f ,134,- :029 for the first half of 1924, a decline rof about one per cent from the $1,944,- 430,S34 figure of the same period last year.

 Taken by groups, the greatest de cline hos occurred this year in the
