Washington's Industries.

Next Monday the fourth annual in
oustTial exposition under the auspices
Of the Washington Chamber Of Com
nlerce will open at the Auditorium. and
1t is 10 be hoped that there will be a
large attendance throughout the week.
The purpose Of this exposition is pri-
marty TO stimulate interest in the in
6uStrial development OF the Capital and
70 aid the expansion of the industries
now located here. The Chamber Of
Commerce has chosen this particular
form uf demonstration as a means Of
best serving 10 call attention to the
need 10 broaden Washington's indus
trial and commercial resources It is
not the purpose TO advocate heavy in
6ustry for Washington. which Is gen.
orally viewed as undesirable, and the
Chamber Of Commerce, which has the
best interests Of the city at heart. would
be the last organization to urge such a
movement. Il is however, the belief Of
the chamber that there are light in
may be found in the District, which
would not involve the introduction OF
the obnoxious and undesirable features
usually associated with manufacturing.
Industrial Development along these
lines is desirable primarily as a method
OF assuring means Of livelihood for
Washirgtonians. While the Govern
nlent provides large field of endeavor
at the Capital the number Of District
residents who can obtain employment
Ii the Federal service is limited. Under
the apportionment Of Offices law, which
iilogically remains the governing factor
In selections for this service, Washing
tons share Of appointments to Federal
duties is very small. Unless the young
people OF this city are to go elsewhere
to earn living. failing of access to the
Government service, and finding the
professions crowded. they must be given
chances TO enter business or trades
here. Having been educated and trained
In Washington they should make their
future homes in their native city. They
cannot do this unless chances are Of
Tered for their occupation here.
Steady advance has been made
toward the development Of a popula-
tion-sustaining industrial establishment.
u the District. The most accurate
figures available show that the OUTPUT
OF privately owned plants within the
Capital amounted in 1927 to $4,000
900. while with the products OF the i'm

total rises 10 more than 500 900 900.
The census statistics for 1925 credit the
District with 53s manufacturing estab-
Esanents, employing s,753 wage earn
ers, with pay roll in that year 0! more
than $4,000, 900.
With proper stimulation the indus

grow steadily. Patronage Of home in

This. The exposition about 10 be held

Different-Yet the Same.
We're telling 'em over and over. each

The stories OF love and romance.
The same quips and tancies evoke the
same cheer
When poetry gives them a chance.

A heroine rescues the Knight:
The tales are alike as we gayly begin
To read through the long White,

Our Knight has an airplane. No horse

The Lady viii smoke cigarettes:
The bard strikes a banjo instead OF O

But Jane still loves Jimmie. and Jimmie
loves Jane,
And the home makers all persevere
The honest romance and poetic refrain
Remain with us year after year.

An Anomalous Situation.

Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is striving
desperately to rest and to keep out OF
the public eye. He has lodged photog-
raphers consistently for the last few
weeks and has been forced to make uI1-
announced hops and deny interviews in
order to keep his plans from being
blazoned forth to an eager world. On
Monday he few from Washington tc
st. Louis, reaching their just as dusk
was falling. but in order to avoid
publicity he hoped of again that night
and completed the round trip by dawn
the next morning.
Il seems q shame that Americas hero
cannot have just what he wants, but II
Is a fact that great deeds arouse great
interest, and when man has once be-
come a public idol. especially in the
graceful and heart-warming manner
that Lindy has. 1t Is an extremely d!f-
ficult matter 10 avoid paying the price
of herodom. Probably few persons in
the United States would refuse TO grant
Indy favor. but when he asks only
the favor OF being let alone TO work
out his own destiny the public clamors
loudly for knowledge as TO just how he
Is going TO do 1t.
L.ndy is tired OF crowds, tired Of pub
licity and probably tired Of hero wor-
Shipping. It Is perfectly natural re-
action on the part OF the youth who
has created aviation history. Unfortu-
nateiy for him, however, 1t lis not pos
ssbie for him 10 stifie successfully the
manifestations OF public interest in his
welfare. The saying "As much privacy
as q goldfish" applies in his case. but
it Is hoped that he can view the sit
uation In a philosophical manner.

Quizzed On Marriages
Mrs. Burken, who was on the

examined. She objected to the ques-
tons put by John p. Booth, defense
attorney. and furnished several gig
giles by her tactics. She even re-
fused to tell how many children she
had had. She is Divorce, and is
said to be a grandmother.
Mrs. Martin, in her turn. followed
Mrs. Burkin's lead when Mr.. Booth

been married three times before she
met Whitman.
