CHICAGO, July 6.-The tunnels of
Cnicago's Chinatown were revealed
yesterday as a fact.
A maze of them honeycomb a block
of Chinatown, narcotic agents testi-
fed. The underground passageways
were so extensive in their labyrin-

hours.

"This system covered an entire

PROPOSAL FAVORED
Chamber of Commerce Would
Establish Offices at Fiji
teenth and H.

Plans for construction of history
which would be used exclusively as
headquarters of national trade and
commercial associations, at Fifteenth
and FL streets on the site of the old
Shoreham Hotel, were revealed last
night in letter from the Wardman
Construction Co., which has been pre-
scented to the board of directors of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce.
The chamber directors last night
voted unanimous approval Of the idea
and directed that Harry Wardman,
who will build the structure, be mott
fed that the chamber would consider
moving it's headquarters into the new
building.
Due to the plans for the building OF
a large department store where the
Homer Building now stands, at Thir'
teenth and r and G streets, the cham
Der soon must move from its head
quarters there, and for some time has
been seeking a new home.

the rapid growth of Washington and
the home Of national associations, 1t
was pointed out by James B. Hobbs.
treasurer Of the Wardman Co., in the
proposal laid before the chamber.
"a recent survey shows that 45
trade associations have established
headquarters in Washington" he
pointed out. "Twenty-one of these as
sociations are maintaining branch Of
fees here and there are Al national
organizations not strictly trade bodies
with established headquarters in
Washington and 81 national organi
cations not strictly trade bodies main
tanning branch offices here. There is
every indication that the number will
continue to grow until practically all
the national organizations throughout
the country will have established per
| manent offices in the Capital City.
Headquarters Scattered.
'"There are more than 400 national
trade associations scattered through
/ out the country. Excepting New York
and Chicago. Washington leads with
the greatest number of established
! headquarters and branch offices. That
Washington is the logical location fol
these associations is further demon

The day dripped heat and
the earth oozed sweat
and the subway digger
hadn't had his dinner yet
and he wanted it bad
It was damn hot, too,
but you couldn't stop your diggin'
till the whistle blew.
So he kept on diggin'
and his back got sore,
"God! I'll rest now if
don't get any work no more!"
He threw down his shovel
and he lay down to rest
a rotten beam fell down on him
and smashed in his chest.
