BY l.. SETH SCHNITMAN AND
J. w, WILLARD.

Like all Gaul, Washington activity
may be divided into three parts gov.
ernmental. social and commercial, with
the latter distinct in itself and not
the least important Politically. and
perhaps socially, Washington halts at
Midsummer; but no longer does the
Presidents sojourn in camp during
the hot-weather months or the vaca
/. tioning of several of his cabinet or
the adjournment of Congress call a
halt in the march of local business.
Midsummer is now an accomplished
fact and with 1t there stands signal
record of business achievement. The
reason is not far to seek. Approx
mately 60 per cent of the population
over 10 years of age is gainfully EN-
ployed. or 100000 people. TO those
who still believe that Washington is
solely a governmental city it is well
to point out that of this 100000 en-
ployed persons only % per cent find
employment with the Federal Govern.
ment. The latest estimates, as of June
80, 1926, are as follows:
Mum Per cent
Der. OF total.
Total persons gainfully
Federal employees. ..... $4,000 200

ployes ..............,t S,uOo -
Private enterprises. 232 900 T.3

District employees. in that they in.
clude teachers. clerks, policemen. fire
men, day laborers. etc, are as group
not dissimilar from the municipal
organizations required by any other
city of equal size. For this reason
District employees are not here con-
sidered as part of the Federal group.
Within the scope Of private enterprise
is included diversified employment
well balanced by manufacturing, con-
struction. wholesale and retail trade,
transportation agencies, professional
service, domestic and personal service,
etc.
Government employment, TO be sure,
affords stable resource to business
in that the pay roll is above the aver
age level, is assured and steady, even
through sickness and vacation, but
employment conditions for the re-
naming so per cent are not markedly

and when it comes it will be very gen.
orally adopted.
The retail districts of our large
cities will be entirely changed during
the next % years. The present side.
walks will be thrown into the streets,
thus widening the streets just that
much. All pedestrians will walk on
a second-stOry. sidewalk. which will
bridge all streets and thus separate
automobile traffic from pedestrians In
all large cities. Retail stores viii
have their show windows on the sec.
ond floor and main entrance to retail
stores will be on the second floor.
This change Will cost a great deal of
money, but 1t is inevitable and will
soon pay for itself in the conserving
of life, time and property values.
In southern cities and some
Northern cities. the lower floor Of
some stores will he remodeIled so as
TO make it unnecessary for people driv-
ing up in their ears to get out Of the

this is a foolish dream, hut statistics

could drive through store or up TO
the side of store and do their shop
ping without getting out of the car.
The second-story sidewalks and other
changes will require a good deal Of
steel as well as the overhead bridges
and should keep the steel plants work
ing to capacity for Il generation to
come.
Outlook for Steel Stocks.
! know nothing about the short
swings in the stock market. Whether
steel common will go up or down
during the next few months. neither
! nor any one else knows. Steel stocks
will probably go with the rest OF the
market and statistics now indicate
that we are in a bear market i do,
however. know that most bonds Of the
United States Steel Corporation are
absolutely good and that the preferred
stock should be perfectly good and
believe that the common stock IS a

originally steel Comomn was mostly
water. but so much value has been
put behind it in recent years that il
now represents cash 10 much more
than its par value.
In short. / am very bullish on the
steel industry for the long pull, es-
pecially i'm connection with structural
steel. On the other hand, 1t must he
recognized that the steel industry is
one Of the most sensitive TO prosper
with or suffer from general business
conditions. At the present time bust

Babsonchart. seem Ia he gradually
slowing down. although the Babson-
chart business index is still per cent
above normal. To which point 1t has
declined from Is per cent above nor

conditions our steel plants are earning
good money. working at IS per cent
