This year Valentine day falls on
Sunday. SO many children have
found it more convenient to distrib-
ute their valentines day or two be-
fore. Mamie and her sister Mary,
having received their valentines
early, are taking stock Of them. And
Mamie has asked Mary to please give
her tire Of her valentines so that
they both viii own the same number.
But Mary being the elder, thinks it
only fair that Mamie give her three
valentines for then she will have
twice as many as her sister.

SOUTHERN HAS LAID
NO PLANS TO MOVE
Railway Has Taken No Steps
President Tells Trade
Bodies Delegation.

|. Fairfax Harrison, president of the
Southern Railway, assured the preSi-
dents of Washingtons three trade
bodies. who visited him today. that
no definite plans had been made for
moving the railroads headquarters.
He explained to the committee in
conformity with his announcement
Monday that no decision would be
made until his company came to a
final understanding with the Govern
ment in respect to the taking over of
the company's property at Thirteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue for
use of the Government.
The committee was composed of
Martin A. Leese. president of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce:
Edwin c. Graham, president of the
Washington Board Of Trade, and Ross
p. Andrews, president of the Mer
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton.
Plans No Opposition.
While Mr.. Harrison assured this
committee that no decision had been
made by his organiza ton thus far
he did state that the railroad officials
would under mo circumstances think
of attempting to oppose the Federal
Government if it should finally de-
eide that 1t wants the headquarters
property.
Mr.. Harrison admitted that the
Federal Government. through the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, had, asked him if the
railroad would sell, and that he had
said that his company would sell at
fair price. y
During his conversati ton Mr.. Harri-
son made an explanation of the
recent policy of the Southern Railway
which the committee declared after
ward they felt somewhat Significant.
This policy, according to the commit.
tee, was one OF decentralization on
the part of the railroad.
STAFF Cut ne.Third.
The staff here had been cut about
one.third since the war, and many of
the activities formerly at the head
quarters have been established else
where. According to members of the
committee, Mr.. Harrison stated that
his company would follow this policy.
Whether or not this would have any
thing to do with the company's head
quarters location, however, could not
be ascertained.
One of the advantages that Mr..
Harrison admitted were gained from
location fri Washington is the plenti-
full supply OF competent and trained
clerks and reasonable wages. He as
sured the committee II anything def
mite was about to be concluded he
would allow them another interview
further to discuss Washington's de-
sire to keep this orga aniZation's head
quarters here.

ern Railway headquarters is now
