C. ADVERTISERS
HONEST, COOL FINDS
Better Business Bureau Head Says
Washington Leads All
Cities Of Nation.

Zone needs but to compare Wash
tngton's newspapers with the news
papers of other metropolitan cities to
observe that retail advertising is of
higher quality by comparison" de-
clared Howard NJ. Cool director of the
Better Business Bureau, in his annual
report at a meeting of the organiza-
ZION at the City Club yesterday
In outlining the work accomplished
by the bureau during the past year,
Mr.. Cool explained that it was the
policy of the bureau to prevent loss
from fraudulent schemes by advising
and educating the public rather than
by entering into lawsuits after the
loss had been sustained.
He highly praised the Washington
advertisers.
The bureau handled $3.50 mer-
~handising cases and 259 consumer
cases besides many inquiries in re-
gard to investments. The bureau has
list of 1,500 questionable firms and
schemes with a cross index of some
5000 names.
Mr.. Cool explained that 300, 900
warning notices had been distributed
TO inexperienced investors and more
than 100000 have been put in the pay
envelopes of the employees of the
Treasury Department. This, he
hoped, will be extended to other de-
partmentS.
Praise to the newspapers for their
support and to the Commissioners of
the District, the Detective Bureau
and Inspector Grant, the corporation
counsers office, the United States
district attorney and his assistants
was given by Mr.. Cool for their CO.
operation and assistance.

PLANT MORE TREES,
IS PLEA TO DISTRICT
$4,000 Appropriation Is Urged
by Federation of Citizens
Associations.

Declaring that Washington is fail
ing to extend and maintain properly
it's shade trees, William Nick. Clayton
of the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions called at the District Building
yesterday afternoon and advocated a
substantial increase in the appropria-
ton for that purpose next year.
The current appropriation for trees
and parkings is $4,000, and the
Citizens Advisory Council has recon-
mended it be made $4,000 next year.
Mr., Clayton asserted yesterday that at
least $4,000 should be allotted to the
task of extending and preserving the
shade trees if Washington is to re-
main the City Beautiful.
Mr.. Clayton said that at the rate
of past appropriations 1t has not been
possible for the District authorities
to give the trees the attention they
need in order to thrive, nor has 1t
been possible to keep pace with the
demand for new shade trees as row
after row of new homes goes up in the
suburbs

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July II.
President Coolidge has intro
duced at White Court an entirely
new phase of his economy pro-
gram. If not entirely practical 1t
is looked upon as unquestionably
a money saver.
The plumbing at White Court
has not been behaving as we'll as
1t might, and the President has
called in the services of two Of the
Mayfiower skilled mechanics, and
they are spending half of their
time tinkering about the pipes at
the Summer White House. Aside
from the economy feature of this,
it is affording the Executive ad-
ditional pleasure and entertain
ment. Every now and then he
lays down his book, or the papers
he is studying and walks to where
the men are engaged and for long
periods stands watching them
work.
