FOR BUSINESS

In an effort to attract new indus
triar enterprises to the city of
Washington. the local Chamber Of
Commerce is conducting an indus
trial survey OF the city, Of which
Dorsey w. Hyde. jr.. secretary of
the chamber, Is in charge. In the
course Of the survey. information
regarding Industrial and commercial
needs Of the city. as well as suit
able locations for various type of

they are suitable. and other neces.
sary information. A certain district
near the city recently has offered
10 acres suitable for factory sites,
entirely free to new enterprises, in
order to build up that particular
community. Although this Is not in

of decided benefit to us, and, there

The survey, it was stated, is part
OF the general scheme to advance
Washington induStrlally and COM
mercially. Each year It Is planned
to have the Industrial Exposition
as the eliminating event in the an.
nual program for business expan-
sion.
Mr.. Hyde pointed out that the
Chamber Of Commerce committee,
which is making the survey, is
using discrimination in the charac-
ter of manufactures and enterprises
which are to be attracted to Wash
ington, SO as to he in keeping with
the plans to develop Washington as
the most beautiful city in the
United States.
We also are studying certain
types OF factory architecture, so
that new factories will blend into
that particular district, thus becom-
ing decided asset to its beauty,
rather than a Disagreement" Mr..
Hyde asserted.
A similar plan of filing informa-
ton is being followed by chambers
of commerce in the vicinity, Mr..
Hyde said, and efforts now are
progressing rapidly to work out a
complete plan of cooperation which
will be of decided benefit to the en-
tire surrounding territory.

NEW YORK, January ia his

is in prospect for the 1927 Pough-

Rowing Association on June 20.
The way was paved for this I'M

of the association, complete the
prospective starting fleet.
Should acceptances be received
from all the invited crews, the asso-
citation may have to broaden the
race course to include three spans
Of the Poughkeepsie bridge for the
first time in the history OF the
classic. Up until a few years ago
the course was confined to one
span. When the entry increased to
eight crews last year the lanes were
strung out TO bring the boats under
two spans.
Chairman Maxwell Stevenson an
nounced that it was possible to get
as many as six crews under one

different. Five good men playing to-

10 men playing five at time.
Once you have a combination of five
good men keep the combination intact

A group of players on the same

can instill.
Many a championship team has de-

Captain Carmody of the Yale

as he holds closely to the principle

himself between the opponent he is

That offense is most certainly
checked. In the lower illustration
the guard has let his opponent get

has an easy shot or he is in a posi-
