A CONVENTION CITY

When G. E. La Vigne was select
ed by the representative citizens or
CARNATIONS of Washington a year
ago as Director of the Washington
Convention Bureau a good many
people wondered just what the plans
and purposes of the Bureau might
be. The profession of director of
such bureau is comparatively new
one in the United States. But the
Washington Director figured it out
that more people wanted to see
Washington in preference to any 9TH
err city, and he worked on the hypo-
thesis that when people leave home
that there is naturally an objective
connected with choosing the destina-
ton for their travels In our highly
organized social and econimio life
conventions have become great am
nual events with hundreds of thous-
ands of people. So Mr.. La Vigne per-
formed the old-time operation of put
ting two and two together and then
he proceeded to invite these organi-
cations to come to Washington. OF
course they wanted to go to the
Capital anyway, but they never had
been asked, and when their conven-
tions was assured hearty welcome
to the National Capital, they hitched
up their family buses, or boarded the
train for Washington. The Presiden
greeted them at the white House,
Senators and Cabinet activities in
helping to make their constituents
welcome, Photography got into the
game and these leaders of national
industry and national thought found
some satisfaction in the rotagavure
and other illustrations that showed
them in close contact either with the
President or other important national
FIGURES. At the end Of year Direc-
tor La Vigne reports 63,324 conven-
ton visitors to Washington-an he
says they all had happy time in
their own Capital.

Won Elm stretched his advantage

The l4th was played in two per-
