ADJ. EXPERT RET|RES
!. after MANY YEARS
W. G. Kent, Advertising Man.
ager, Placed First FuII-Page
Advertisement in D. C..

After 46 years service in the ad-
vertising field Of Washington, during
which time he saw the Palais Royal
establishment branch out from the
little store 1t occupied. on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, under the caves of
the Raleigh Hotel, to its present
structure. w. G. Kent, advertising
manager of that store, retired last
Saturday, 1t was announced today.
During his career Mr.. Kent num-
bers among other high lights the
placement, so far as he can recall,
Of the first page advertisement for
department store In Washington
and probably the first advertisement
of any sort which took up an entire
page in a newspaper.
When he took charge of the Palais
Royal advertising department in 1878
the store was doing a business of
about $50 a. day. Since then the busi-
sand fold. and the advertising alone
amounts to far more than the daily
income of the store at that time
"The successful growth of either
store or newspaper" he said, has to
be built on the same foundation of
reliability. This alone assures sta
bility and longevity. The individual,
like the store and the newspaper. has
to act as sanely, in order to attain old
age satisfactorily"
Mr.. Kent, who started as a youth
in his early 20s, retires in good
health and as the recipient of num-
erous tokens of esteem and affection
from fellow workers in the advertis-
ing field and from associates and
friends in other lines of work.

Miss Frances Benjamin Johnston of
New York, who some years ago was
one of Washington's best known
photographers, was guest of honor at
the Arts club last evening, at din
ner at which Mrs. Fulton Lewis was

Johnston gave a lecture on gardens
which have been the object of her
study in recent years. She showed the
earliest garden plans. illustrated from
ancient drawings and prints, tracing
the development of garden lore
through the centuries. Considera BILE
attention was given to the association
of gardens with the healing arts, Miss
Johnston showing a number of pic
lures from old editions of the "Her-
ball, or treatise upon plants and
their uses. Coming down to the pres

beautifully colored slides, showed the
progress of garden art in America

dens. al did the artists in stone In

STABLE POLITICS

Speaker Shows Trade Bal
ance of Caribbean Coun-
tries as Proof.

How stability in governmental af-
fairs is Enthusiastically reflected in
world trade and general prosperity
by the different achievements Of the
countries about the Caribbean Sea
was told by DR.. w. j. Showalter,
assistant editor of the National Geo
graphic Magazine, who spoke this
sociation of American Geographers
on The Monroe Doctrine and the
Countries of the Caribbean"
Salvador, smallest Of the Central
American republics, is a shining eX-
ample OF the value Of political sta
bility, according to the speaker 1t
has only $4,000 square miles of ter
ritory and most of that mountainous.
Yet its million and a half people are
able to produce exports amounting
to S15,000,000 annually, and have a
trade balance in their favor of moro
than s2,000,000 each year. Costa Rica
was cited as another favorable ex-
ample. 1t has 10000 square miles Of
territory and less than half a million
inhabitants. But its yearly exports
are valued at more than $14,000,00o
and its favorable trade balance
amounts to nearly $6,00o,000.
Cites Cuba and Porto Rico.
Porto Rico, which has had quarter
of a century of American Govern
ment, and Cuba, which has had as
sistance in stabilization from the
United States, were other examples
offered by DR.. Showalter to show that
freedom from revolutions and stable
institutions bring prosperity. 'All
Central America together" he said,
with an area 60 times as large as
that of Porto Rico and a population
more than four times as strong nu-
mercially. has an aggregate foreign
trade smaller than that Of Porto Rico.
"The showing that our little island
possession makes is closely matched
by that of Cuba. With an area of
only $4,000 square miles and a popu-
latfon of less than 100000, that is
lands foreign trade reaches a total
of 1884, 100000 annually"
The Monroe Doctrine has not been
an economic panacea for the countries
of the Caribbean, DR.. Showalter
pointed out, but it has preserved the
sovereignty of many of them and has
given them an opportunity to work
out their own fortunes.

U.S-JAPAN AM|Ty
HELD PERMANENT
Decision to Exchange Lam

Acclaimed by Both.
By the Associated Press

TOXIC, December 31.-The recent
announcement from Washington tell
ing of the approval of an arrange
ment whereby the United States and
Japan will exchange language off,
GERS in their respective armies for a
period of six months. is acclaimed
here as new years consummatton OF
the recent amtcable exchange of Of
fetal utterances between the two
countries.
Lieut.. Gen. Issei Ugaki, minister OF
war, in an interview today with the
Associated Press, said:
81 wish to- indorse fully the state
ment of Secretary of War Weeks re-
garding the friendly exchange of Ian
guage officers between the armies of
Japan and the United States. This
exchange indicates a friendly feeling
between the two armies.
Relations Bound to BE Friendly.
Relations between Japan and the
United States are bound to be friend
ly by virtue of the geographical po-
sitions of the two countries. Likewise,
the political and economic ties of the
two countries assure continued friend
ly relations. War talk is powerless
in presence of the solid facts.
Problems of a transient nature be-
tween the two countries can be
solved successfully by wise states
manship. We need fear nothing from
these situations. However violent
the propaganda which may arise, the
policy of my government will be con-
sistently for permanent peace and
lasting friendship with no idea, no
dream, of war with America.
National Honor Only Aim.
How is war conceivable between
two armies that exist to all intents
and purposes only for the defense
of the national honor and the liberty
of their peoples?" asked the minister
of war earnestly. Where there is
no chance for aggression neither side
would be given the chance for war
Let me assure you that the new
year certainly will bring increased
good feeling between our two peo-
pies.
This" the minister of war said,
in conclusion, lis my response to your
War Secretary's kind expression"

SEEK ACTION NOW
ON RENT MEASURE
Advocates of Permanent Bill
to Try for Passage at
This Session.

A determined effort will be made
by supporters of rent legislation to
obtain passage of the bill introduced
| in the Senate and House providing
for permanent rent commission in
| the District of Columbia. in which
President Coolidge Is reported to
have interested himself.
Members of the Senate District
committee today expressed them
selves as entirely friendly to the en-
| actment of such legislation provided
| it can be made to stick"
Senator Ball of Delaware, chairman
of the District committee, author of
the present rent act, the operation
| of which has been nullified by deci
sion of the courts, is planning to
give the measure early consideration
in his committee. He introduced the
bill in the Senate and Representative
Reed of West Virginia, chairman of
the House committee, sponsored the
| measure in the House.
The present rent act IS due to ex-
pire on May % next and would have
| expired at that time whether the
| courts had upheld it or not.
Friendly to Act.
Senator Capper of Kansas and Sen
| ator Jones of Washington, members
| of the District committee, today ex-
pressed themselves as friendly to the
proposed legislation providing for a
permanent rent commission.
! Senator Capper said he understood
| that the President was taking an in
terest in the matter and that he be-
lieved something might be done by
Congress in spite of the fact that
| this is the short session, expiring
March 4.
"The principal cause of complaint
| in Washington" said Senator Cap
per, seems to be q pyramiding of
| values. Values are placed SO high
| by speculators and unscrupulous per-
sons that the people are forced to pay
| exorbitant rent in Washington. 1
have been told that rents here are
| much higher than they are in other
cities comparable in size to Wash
| ington. 1 think that the whole mat
ter should be thoroughly looked into.
| The opponents of rent Legislation
should be given a chance to be
| heard"
Senator Jones said that he had
hoped the situation would straighten
itself out here so far as rents were
concerned
This does not appear to have hap
pened," said Senator Jones. while
am not yet familiar with all the pro-
visions of the bill recently introduced
for a permanent commission, l eX-
pect to study them"
Senator Sheppard of Texas, Demo-
cratic member of the District commit
tee, said that he was not yet prepared
to say whether he would support the
proposed rent legislation or not.
Senator King, ranking Democratic
member of the committee, who at one
time opposed rent legislation, when
the last bill proposing an extension of
the rent act was before the Senate,
| withdrew his opposition. He is out
of the city today.
Senator Copeland of New. York, an
other Democratic member of the COM
| mittee, and former health commits
| sioner of New York City, is expected
| to take an interest in the proposed
| legislation which is based on the au-
| thority to control the health condi-
| tions.

Ne'c Copper Wire
Is Able to Carry
Increased Current

DR.. W. p. Davey Of the research
laboratory of the General Electric
Co. told the American Association
for the Advancement Of Science
today that new copper has been
produced which is capable of
transmitting 13 per cent more cur
rent than present conductors.
Although the new conductor,
which was developed in the Gen.
eral Electric Co.'S laboratory at
Schenectady, N. Y, is not yet
available for commercial use, be-
cause of the delicacy of its crystals
and the difficulties of manufacture,
the results of the discovery may
be far-reaching.
One of the main difficulties of
long distance power transmission
has been the energy loss due to re-
sistance Of the wire. With the new
wire it would be possible to trans
NIT power 13 per cent further
without additional loss of power.
Besides, the sizes Of the wires
could be materially reduced and a
saving effected.

Japanese popular sentiment would
never approve of the scrapping of
the Mutsu, and the result was that
the ship was conceded to Japan.
America and Great Britain requisi-
toned for themselves, to match the
Mutsu, two great capital ships origi-
nally marked for destruction.
Yukio Ozaki, one of the most promi-
nent Japanese liberal politicians, who
has been called the Borah of Nippon.
shares the foreign office view that
current developments in the United
States will seriously jeopardize any
conference called by President Cool
idge. Mr. Ozaki said. in a recent in
terview:
Since there is no other strong
power in the East, Japan's assumed
enemy is either America or England.
1t goes without saying that the re-
cent Japanese naval maneuvers were
conducted with such possible enemy
in view. Thus, all nations concern ed
are adopting much the same tactics,
and there is no particular reason to
interpret the forthcoming American
maneuvers as being calculated to ir-
ritate the Japanese people.
The people, however, do not al
ways look at such matters from an
entirely rational standpoint. In
doubtedly the Japanese mind has been
considerably irritated by recent rela-
tfons between Japan and America /
am frank to say that I consider the
approaching American naval maneuv-
ers with Hawaii as their base are eX-
Ceedingly unwise. if the United States
is sincere in it's efforts for world
peace and is looking forward to the
success of a second disarmament con-
ference at Washington"

opinion in Japan. the American

There is an ironical note in at
tributing to public opinion in Japan
the power and influence to overrule
any course upon which the govern
ment may decide. Reduction of the
issue of disarmament to a simple mat
ter of the sentime entail relations be-
tween Japan and America is a line
of reasoning scarcely to be expected
from trained diplomatic quarters 1t
is undeniable that developments in the
United States during recent months
have increased Japanese suspicion
and i'll will toward America. The
immigration law cut deeply. Ma
tiona1 Defense day was misunder-
stood and misinterpreted. The forth
coming American maneuvers have
aroused apprehension, but that APP
prehension is based on fallacy and
dread. The tremendous gain which
would come to Japan by further naval
limitation is so apparent that even
public opinion in this country must
realize it. Japanese public opinion
opposed the first naval conference
when President Harding sounded the
| call. But the situation is altered al
