ATTERY PARK
BUILDING Up
RAPIDLY
Two Chain Stores Prepare
Locations in Maryland
! Suburb

Quick to realize the needs of in
creasing population in any section,
the Sanitary Grocery Company and
the A. & p. stores, two of the larg-
est chain store organizations in
Washington, have started work on
new stores in the commercial zone
OF Battery Park, which viii serve
Battery Park and Edgemoor.
The Sanitary Grocery Company
has purchased site and is build
ing, and the A. & p. will lease a
store now being built by a man who
has leased a number of stores to
that company in this section.
That the action of the Sanitary
Company in buying outright in Bat
terry Park, instead of leasing, as It
usually does, is significant of the
values of that section, 1t was
pointed out today by officials of
Maddux, Marshall, Moss and Nal
Tory, in charge of the development.
POPULATION OF ID. G.
I'VE have believed for some time
that Washington Is destined to have
population Of a million or more"
said Major n. c. Maddux, president
Of Maddux, Marshall, Moss and NAL
1ory. I'VE also have seen that the
District Of Columbia would never be
capable Of taking care of this
amount Of population, and we fig.
ured that the trend of surplus pop
ulation would be toward Maryland,
along Wisconsin avenue.
That our faith was justified Is
shown by the marvellous develop
ment Of Battery Park, which has
grown from a barren field to q
beautiful residential development In
q little more than two years, with
practically every house occupied.
Battery Park has gas, water,
light. sewerage. two daily mail de-
uveries by carrier, banking facilities
and street car and. bus transp0rta-
ton to the city. It offers every
thing the city can offer, plus the
advantages OF suburban life, all
within twenty minutes Of the shop
ping center Of the city.
ADVANTAGEOUS SITE
Finding that Battery Park could
not accommodate all the people who
wanted to reside in that section,
We were fortunate enough to obtain
control OF Edgemoor, which / re-
gard as the most beautiful suburb
OF any city in tie world, with adj
yantages that few such suburbs can

Pretentiousness Is out Of place

NOTED
Dun Finds Contraction in
Production Easy to
Explain
BY international News Service.

NEW YORK. March 2S.-Con-
traction in production in certain
industries marks the close of the
first quarter Of the year, according
to Duns Weekly Review Of Bust
ness today. Curtailment in steel
is not surprising, because of the
high rate Of operation since last
fall, says Dun's, but curtailment
in textiles and other industrial
activities Is not quite so easy to
understand.
The failure OF prices to hold at
the higher levels has been disap-
pointing to sellers, and reports Of
narrow profits. continue.
Trade as whole shapes up
about fair, says Bradstreet's Re-
view, which also points out that
trade has not measured up to ex-
pectations. Recent jolts to specu-
lation in grain and stocks have in
duced cautiousness in buying from
wholesalers and jobbers in many
lines, the report said.
Features in the retail trade are
the reported increased business Of
the mail order and chain stores.

Seven Candidates in Field to

international News Service.

BERLIN, March 28-Germany to-
day was at fever heat on the eve
OF the presidential election to
choose q successor to the late
Frederick Ebert. Tomorrow. for
the first time in German history
the people themsefvesby direct
vote, will, choose the head of their
state
However, IN the view OF the fact
that as a result Of a bitter party
strife no less than seven candidates
will be placed before the nation,
Sundays voting will be more in
the nature OF a rehearsal vote
comparable to the American pri-
mary, in anticipation OF the real
election April 26.
The balloting tomorrow can re-
suit in a clear cut election only II
one OF the candidates gets one half
of the total votes cast. None OF
the candidates in the financial dis
trict is truly popular enough 20
appear even likely to get that many
votes.
1t is expected that after tomor-
rows voting at least half or the
candidates will drop out of the race:
then the recipient of the majority
April IS will be the victor.
Every man and woman over
twenty has the right to vote except
persons active in military service.
1t is estimated that Of g. total OF
80 900, 900 actually entitled to vote
probably 8O,0OO,0O0 will discharge
that duty.
The official ballots contain the
names of seven candidates in al
phabetical order:
Otto Braun, former Prussian pre-
mier, social democrat.
Doctor Heinrich Held, Bavarian
premier, representing a combina-
ton Of Bavarfan parties.
Doctor Willy Hellpach. state

stocks were reactionary today and
the greatly reduced demand for oil

tionally lower, while Lago Petro-
Ieum was strong spot in the low

Dubilier Radio broke through its
former low level and sold down to
