NEW STORES To.
OPEN VERY
SOON
Apartment Buildings at 5000
connecticut Avenue Are
Almost All Filled

The usual custom of Washing
tonians is to move into apartment
buildings around the first of Sep
TENDER of each year. and in ac-
cordance to this custom the natu-
raj presumption is that about this
time the vacant apartments are
being rapidly taken up. With this
idea in mind, c. B. Hazard, owner
of Cathedral Mansions at 5000 Con-
necticut avenue, is using every
effort in preparing his buildings
for the newcomers. It Is; OF
course. understood that there are
very few vacant apartments in Mr..
Hazards building because of their
especially desirable location and
the service given by the manage
ment.
The stores that are to be opened
in the center building will no doubt
be ready for business by the first
of September, which will give adj
ditional convenience to the tenants
of the three mansions buildings.

RUTH DRAPER-Tomorrow.

Ruth Draper will be heard at the
BelaSaO Theater tomorrow at 4:30
pm. in her original character sketches.
Miss Draper, who is an American
girl of family distinction, began her
career as an entertainer some years
ago for private clubs and in the draw
ing rooms of society. After having
achieved success at home she ventured
abroad, where her talents were quick
ly recognized, and for three seasons
she remained in London, appearing
before the King and Queen, later
going to Paris and Madrid. On her
return to her native country she de-
lighted capacity houses at theaters in
New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadel-
phia, Washington and Baltimore.
Miss Draper is the granddaughter
of Charles a. Dana, famous in the
journalistic world as the editor of the
New York Sun, and she herself IS the
author of the various sketches pre-
scented by her. Without the aid of
scenery or costumes. she is enabled
TO transform an empty stage into a
room full of people or to turn a ball
room dress into rags with the quick
twist of shawl. This requires a
power of dramatic imagination, but
this Miss Draper has the faculty of
doing by enlisting the cooperation of
her audience.

Two Million Fewer Workers in
 Eight Year Period

Manchester, March s.-Decline of the birth rate in England has be- come a national peril in the opin- ion of Sir Robert Blair, former chief education officer of the London County Council, who, speaking at a Manchester educational conference, estimated that within the next eight years there would be 100000 fewer workers in this country.
 within the last few years, the birth rate has failed off tremendous ly," he said, 'and appears even yet to be going down. We are losing 100000 children a year from each age group in the schools and on this basis, from calculations I have made, by 1892 there will be some 2,000,000 less workers in England"
 Taking this year as an example, asserted Sir Robert, the board of ed- ucation is budgeting for a million less children than in its budget of IA years ago.
 Decrease Of the birth rate during the years of the war in some meas ure accounts for the reduction in the number of children who are now attaining school age. according to ministry of health officials.
