BOYS CLUB SEEKING
$125,OO0 FOR WORK
Neuhauser Says Money Must Be
Raised, and Will Be-Slogan
Is Adopted.

The $125,000 being sought for the
Boys Club at Third and c streets must
be raised and will be. Roy L. Neuhau-
ser told a luncheon meeting Of cam.
paign workers. yesterday. at which
the slogan "Finish the Job was
adopted officially.
Mr.. Neuhauser said that the actual
administration of the club was a far
greater task than raising the money.
f. v. Thomson, secretary of the
club, told how the money is to be
spent. He said that $4,000 will be
necessary to enlarge the reading room,
work room and gymnasium. For the
swimming pool, there will be needed
100000, he pointed out, while 900
additional will be necessary for
budget for the club for the next two
years. The balance would be spent to
wipe out the present Indebtedness on
the clubs quarters.
John Dolph, one of the founders of
the club, declared that If the boys of
the country were properly recognized
oe consideration there would be no
LuI IHci u'c lOl pun AOuoCo, JetAlo anu
penitentiaries.
There are too many laws telling the
boys what not to do" he said. but
what is needed is constructive work
among them which will result in their
proper education to become good
American citizens. We must put into
the hands of boys of Washington the
practical things in order to obtain
practical results. The Boys Club of
Washington is doing just this very
thing"

Many Along Washington

Many wharves along the Washing

cayed and supporting timbers are
crumbling, the District wharf coin
mittee pointed out in it's annual re-
port to the Commissioners, made pub

clerk of the Engineering Department

Strong recommendations were made
that the general development and i'm
provement of the water front pro-
posed by the United States engineers
Office be approved AMI that funds be
provided for its execution.
while it has been possible to main
tain some Of the timber Wharves along
the waterfront by agreement with
tenants" the report said. ''it is a fact
that many wharves are in an advanced
stage Of deterioration. Piling is badly
decayed and supporting timbers are
crumbling.
THE morgue wharf should be re-
constructed. Existing hearing piles
show sufficient decay to indicate q loss
of from % to. so per cent Of their
structural value. Pile caps, posts and
siilS are positioned without uniformity
and are sway braced with n miscel-
laneous collection OF timbers OF doubt

vide funds for permanent improve
ments. 1t Is understood that a por.
ton Of the money raised on the sale

The major portion OF the money
would be for street improvements. 1t

THOMPSON HITS
LOWDEN PROGRAM
|
Mayors Name to Go on Pri-
mary Ballot to ThWart
Foes Control.

CHICAGO, October 1.-William
Hale Thompson. mayor of Chicago,
Will permit the use of his name on the
Illinois presidential preference ballot
next Spring if in doing so he can
prevent former Gov. Frank o. Low
den's obtaining control of the States
Republican delegation, he told news
paper men yesterday.
He said:
eff it appears there is any danger
of Lowden's name being the only one
on the ballot and of the delegation's
going to him by default, I'll consent
to the use of my name to prevent It,"
Mayor Thompson and the former
governor are political foes of several
years standing. The mayor. in his
talk with newspaper men, gave two
reasons for his hostility. He spoke
of LoWden'S former connection with
the railroads through the Pullman Co.
II don't think Lowden in Washing
ton would help waterways or flood
CONTROL" the mayor said. Il don't
consider Lowden n good man to rep
resent Illinois in the presidential
race"
Mr.. Lowden himself, although prom
inently mentioned for the Republican
nomination for President, has stead
to his intentions. His only answer
to repeated questions by numerous
delegations that have visited him and
and urged his candidacy has been
that he never knew any man to run
away from the presidency"
Mayor Thompson, during his talk
with reporters. was asked if he would
lend his support to the candidacy of
Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick for the
nomination of congress
II have had several interesting
talks with Mrs. Mccormick" the
mayor said, "and she stands for our
of America first. flood con-
troll, waterway development and farm
relief We are uncompromisingly
opposed to the incumbent congress
Henry E1thbone. lie

stay there. We are. however, friendly

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
DECLARED BRIGHT
Years Total Will Exceed That of
1925, Says Newspaper Adver-
tising Association Head.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The gen.
eral business outlook for the Fall and
Winter is exceedingly bright" Har-
vey X. Young, president Of the Inter
national Association Of Newspa per
Advertising Executives and advertis-
ing director of the Columbus. Ohio,
Dispatch, said here yesterday.
Mr.. Young said that reports received
from $50 member papers of the asso-
c3ation indicated that the years bust
ness would exceed that Of 1925 and
possibly equal that of 1926.
"On the basis of reports reaching
me, 1 judge that the retail situation
has never been brighter, and it ap-
pears that with excellent crops
throughout the country the farmer.
for the first time in several years, will
resume the role of an important retail
purchaser" Mr.. Young said.
The Nationwide prosperity Of 1926,
Mr.. Young stated, was unprecedented
and probably will not be equaled again
in many years."
1.-THE peak of business in this coun-
try was reached in 1926. The year
1927, however, will be n shade better
than 1925, which indicates that our
prosperity has been general and con.
tinuous," Mr.. Young declared.
