Summing up the general condi-
tions influencing the prediction that
fall and winter business in Wash
ington will continue to be good,
Mr.. Petit concluded: ut is ad-
mitted that business conditions in
the country at large are satisfac-
tory. 1t is a fact beyond question
that the community is growing
ut is evident that there are no
national or international crises at
hama of sufficient magnitude to
disturb the present upward trend
of all lines of manufacturing and
trade. It is a fact that the grow
ing population Of Washington will
continue to require more and more
from the merchants and business
men of the city and that there will
be no retrogression in the growth
of the city. With these facts in
mind it is very hard not to be OPP
timistic regarding the progress of
local business in the next few
months"

Howard Waldo (Dutch) Robbins of Springfield, Mass, brought honor and distinction to New England to- day by capturing the worlds marble championship, defeating Tommie Raley of owensboro. Ky, four games to two in thrilling final to the na- tional championship held this week at Atlantic City, N. J.
 "Dutch," the new champ. defeat ed Alexander Zaleski last Tuesday in three straight games, and 1t is much to the New Britain boys credit that in two of these matches the champion was forced to show all his cleverness, strategy and re- sourcefulness in order to win, both of them being decided by a single "commie."
 The Springfield boy deserves the crown and everything which goes with it, especially after the brilliant manner in which he won his tri- umph. Behind for the first two days of the New England champion ships, he steadily forged to the front and on the last day snatched sudden victory from the very hands of those who had been leading him throughout. His victories in the other matches and semi-finals were all as thrilling, and today's conquest of the southerner, who also waged a gallant though losing battle, was his croyning achievement
