however, giving any specific reasons
for this viewpoint.

and service offices and states that

Lewis sales throughout the East
ern territory have more than
doubled during the first half of
April as compared with the last
half of March, and a much more
optimistic feeling appears among
prospective home builders than has
been apparent at any time since
last fall.
The Washington office has COM
pleted very satisfactory volume
OF sales during this month, and
within a very few weeks will have
under construction a number Of
very attractive homes, some of
which are designs just completed
during the past winter, and are
extremely new to this territory.
Mr.. Dixon has agreed to write
several articles on homes and home
ownership for The Washington
Times to be published in the Real

BOSTON MOVES FAMOUS
STATUES TO LAY MAIN

BOSTON, April 25.-The famous
statues along the Commonwealth
avenue mall Of Alexander Hamilton,
John Glover and William Lloyd
Garrison have to be moved. The
city has decided to lay a forty-eight-
inch water main under the mall for
Boston's downtown water supply.
City officials expect a protest from
Back Bay residents and others over
moving the statues and ripping up
the popular mall. but declare the
safety of the city in the matter
of fire prevention comes before the
whims of Back Bay.
1t is also hoped eventually to
restore the statues to practically
their original positions, although,
if the truth were told, there are a
number Of residents Of Boston who
do not look upon the statues as
works Of art.

WINDOW SHADE
PURCHASING
DISCUSSED
Stokes Sammons Writes Arti-
Gle of Interest to Purchas-
ers of Shades

In purchasing window shades 1T
is advisable to first obtain a knowl-
edge OF the different grades Of
shades and rollers. If the property
is an investment, spend few cents
for the roller as the better grade
viii last a life time and give far
superior service during this time.
This also applies to the shade cloth
material. A good plan to follow is
to draw specifications according to
the nature Of the property and the
character of the tenancy, specify
ing in detail the cloth that you
have decided upon, the diameter
of the roller, whether the shades
are to be hung on the stop Deao
or the face of the trim, and as

CROWDSMOv|NG
To HERALD
HARBOR
Many New Homes Already
Completed and Others In
der Construction

Judging from the early moving
of Washington families to Herald
Harbor, that popular summer colony
will be the scene of much activity
within the next few days.
There are over two hundred d. G.
families who own lots at the harbor
and about eighty who have already
erected homes in which to spend
the summer. Twenty-Five Or thirty
of these bungalows are already &C.
cupied and the others are rapidty
being filled as the hot weather ap-
breaches. Vast Improvements have
been made on the property during
the past winter and it is the oelief
of the Herald Harbor Company that
the colony this summer will be the
most popular resort around WASH
ington.
The construction of the new board
walk and widening of the beach
will no doubt attract thousands of
visitors in addition to those who
go to live and enjoy the natural
beauty and pleasantness of the sur
roundings.-
All roads leading to the Harbor
have been greatly improved, pro-
visions made to care for the large
number of motorists who will drive
down for the week ends. The Her
aid Harbors Construction Company
states that orders for new homes to
be erected Immediately are coming
In rapidly and from the present out
look there will be more than two
hundred homes on the property be-
fore next season opens. The parks
have all been enlarged and made
ready for the numerous picnic
parties that will no doubt be held.
A large crowd is expected to take
advantage Of the excursion to the
Harbor tomorrow.

FATHER ACCUSES SON OF
FLEEING IN CAR WITH $125

ALLENTOWN, Pa, April 25.-
John H. Hamill, twenty-one, of Nor.
ristown, is held by the Allentown
police, accused by his father of
stealing 1925 of his money! and then
escaping in his automobile. While
on his way to this city the car
toppled over an embankment in
Mountainville where, early in the
morning, the young man was found
asleep underneath the overturned
machine.
The fact that he offered the far
mer who righted his car hundred
dollar bill in payment aroused his
suspicious and led to the arrest OF
Hamill, who has black and blue
eye, for which he blames his
father.

consequence. Then submit propos-
ais embodying those specifications
to only reputable shade dealers in
whom you have some degree of
confidence. These are the only Cir
cumstances under which you would
be justified in accepting the low
bid. Furthermore, this method
would help greatly to improve the
shade industry in which there 1s
much for Improvement.
"A small part of the total shades
sold In Washington are not manu-
featured by the so-called dealer who
sells them to you. He solicits your
business and If successful in obtain
ing your order, writes a number of
east side manufacturers in New
York, playing one against the other
III an effort to get the lowest price
without thought for your require
ments or the quality Of the mer-
chandise.e
A reliable dealer will make an ef-
fort to secure you as a customer.
He will learn your needs and will
take the proper measurements and
see that your specifications are
thoroughly lived up to. You will
obtain a. shade that will be design
ed for the service for which you
required it. When you consider
the details that should be adhered
to for the proper fitting and max
ing of a shade, the necessity for
dealing with a reliable concern Is
Naore thoroughly realized. Standard
practice calls for a different width
shade for each " inch variation In
the width of the window frame and
Tor two turns of material to be lef+
around the roller when the shade is
drawn down to sill. Seconds" or
materials defective either basically
or damaged in the process of manu-
fScture should be avoided. Further
more, as many as four different
cclors of shades may be noted in
some buildings because of the deal
er's inability to purchase sufficient
seconds in a single color to com
plete the contract.
The necessity for side-hemming
the edges of window shades Is gov
erned by the material used, but you
will often notice that so-called raise
hems'' have been supplied so that
the dealer could use narrower ma
teriaI. This should be avoided as
the result is shade which does
not roll evenly on the roller, owing
to the thickness of the material at
the edges, and in general is I'M
slightly and impractical Further
more. shades may be noticed with
side hem stitch Eewn along the
edges, although no side hem has
been turned. This has been done
merely to deceive tie ownr in be-
lieving that a side hem has been
supplied.
In conclusion, there is a move
ment on foot to sponsor a local as
ISOLATION Of window shade manufac-
turers, all Of whom will be affiliated
with national association. This
movement deserves to succeed as
1t will eliminate the unreliable
dealer and serve to improve the in
dustry. Its objects will run parallel
with those of this association IL
that 1t will promote better com
petitive relationship and countenau
only honorable dealings.

SHANGHAI, China, April 26.-
How far the East is benefited by
the adoption Of Western ways is
tae question raised by the report Of
the Child Labor Commission at
Shanghai.
Young children, certainly not
more than five years Of age, were
seen working with incredible rapidity
in a match factory" IL one sentence
in the report.

sentence.
Child Labor.
This commission was set up by
the Council of Shanghai. The city
itself is an international settlement
governed by an elected council in
which the British predominate'
every non.Chinese citizen being
subject to the jurisdiction OF his
own consular court, while the Chi
nese are provided for by a mixed
court in which the native maSls-
trate sits with a foreign assessor
In this way the government o.
90 900 foreigners and 10000 chi
nese Is carried on.
Shocked by native industrial con
ditions, the council appointed tne
commission in regard to child lapoI
and was able to secure the services
of Miss Adelaide Anderson, form
erly chief inspector OF factories IN
Britain. The report OF the com
mission has created a sensation IN
England as well as in Shanghai.
One graphic passage described
conditions during the night.
Rows of baskets containing
children, either asleep or awake. al
the case may be, lie placed be
tween rapidly moving and noisy
machinery. Young children. who
are supposed to be working, but
who have been overtaken by fatigue
or have taken advantage Of the
absence Of adequate supervision, lie
asleep in every corner, some in rhe
open. others hidden in baskets
under a covering of raw cotton.
Many Injured.
Sanitary arrangements" says
the report, "are bad, and accidents
are frequent. At present $4,000
children, under twelve years OF age
are employed in Shanghai or in the
immediate neighborhood."
The report has aroused great In
dignation among Shanghai people
who are proud of their city and
look upon their international re-
public as a model from which the
Chinese may learn what is best in
Western government.
But the situation is complicated
by the various nationalities of the
owners OF the factories-Chinese
Japanese, British, American, Ital.
ian, French and Portuguese. These
factories draw an unlimited guam
tity Of labor from a people OF
whom millions are. always living
on the border-line OF want, and, in
consequence, there is always a rush
of workers, even though the condi-
tons belong to the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries.
At the same time there Is no
doubt that the report of the com
mission will have the effect OF
removing some Of the worst OF the
evils Immediately.

LANDOWNERS ARE

MOSCOW, April 25.-Former
Russian landowners are hit rather
hard by a bill, which has been APP
proved by the Soviet central ex-
ecutive committee, prohibiting for
mer noble landowners to live on the
properties which they owned prior
to the naturalization OF land in
1917.
There are 5,123 landowners who
continue to live on their former
lands.
The Soviet authorities claim that
these landowners have failed to de-
velop, instead have damaged, the
land which the state gave them,
and it Is further charged that they
have exploited the peasantry.

Am Act of Vandalism.

A very sad occurrence took place, or
more correctly speaking, was brought to
the notice of the police about 9 days ago.
The private burial ground of the Cor
downright family over at HasseIi Island
was desecrated in a way unusual in St.
Thomas.
The tomb of Miss Maria HasselI, was
broken and the coffin, a metal one, taken
out and cut open. These preliminaries
gore through. the body was removed and
photographed.
A current rumor says that the purpose
of the dissertation was to find silver and
gold with which the corpse is alleged to
have been buried. This has doubtless
