Valley Progress Constant

A a Valley survey indicates building operations are
picking up in all towns. with prospects for much
activity during the summer and fall.
This is a healthy sign and should serve to cheer
any who have been inclined to pessimism about the
these among our population, but there are a few
who need cheering occasionally.
Valley progress has been continuous for the past
10 years-more rapid at times than at others, but al
ways a forward movement.
But progress is a multi-sided proposition and it
eometims requires close observation to discern all its
phases.
For instance. during the past wineter and spring
building operations have been slow-slower than for
many months past. But. during this period thous-
ands Of homeseekers were being gathered up all over
the United States by land developers and brought here
as prospective buyers.
A large per cent of these visitors liked the Valley
sufficiently to purchase land, most Of them intending
eventually to remove here and make this their per-
manent home. Thousands Of acres Of land were sold
IN all parts OF the Valley. Some OF the new land
owners already have located in the new home Of their
choice.
This influx Of new blood, this prospective develop
ment Of additional acreage makes necessary further eX-
pansion in the Valley towns to care for the increased
business. New and larger business enterprises are
required: buildings to house them must be constructed:
more clerks. bookkeepers. stenographers. ard en-
ployees Of various sorts are needed These move In
and immediately there Is demand for more homes.
During the past few months agricultural develop
ment has been speeded up while growth Of the towns
has not been so rapid. Now the towns are growing
while there is a temporary lull In agriculture expan-
sion.
But ell the while the Valley Is srowing-oecomins
more stable in every way. Believe in the future OF
the Valley and your belief win be justified.

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUMArER

WASHINGTON, June AUST one more reason
why Mrs. Herbert Hoover is called one OF the most
popular and gracious OF our first ladies:
Japan and the United States we're engaged in the
Davis cup tennis matches at the Chevy Chase club.
John Hennessey, the American star, had defeated
Tamio Abe in a hard fought match that lasted four
sets. Heralded as the most formidable Of mis- coun-
trys tennis stars, Abe felt his defeat keenly.
Mrs. Hoover witnessed the match from her box.
She had been an enthusiastic spectator. and repeated
" a~pplauded the outstanding plays Of the participants.
While the gallery was applauding the victor Mrs.
Hoover was seen to be writing. Shortly afterward a
message was sent to the box nearbp. occupied by the
japanese ambassador and Nine. Debuchi. The mes
sage was. in effect:
"Tamio Abe gave a worthy. and skillful perform
ance Of the sport SO dearly loved by his countrynen."
DISTINGUISHED SPECTATORS
II is doubtful If a Davis cup match ever was wit
messed by a more distinguished and colorful gallery
than the one which followed the play of the Ameri-
cans and Japanese.
There was Mrs. Hoover. The japanese ambassador
and Nine. Debuchi we're in attendance at ell OF the
contests. The ambassador Of Spain and his daugh-
ters. senorita Maria Padilla and Senorita Rosa Pa
dilla, were there.
The ambassador OF Germany and Frau Won Pitt
WITT und Gaffron; the minister Of Sweden. Mr.. Bos-
from: Princess Elizabeth de Ligne and Princess An
toinette de Ligne Of Belgium; Mile. Jeanne Cretziauo
OF Rumania; Sonora de ververka, wife OF the Czecho-
slovakian minister, and Sonora de Diez de Medina,
wife OF the Bolivian minister. were only a few Of the
many other members OF the diplomatic ranks who
were present.
Cabinet members wives, wives OF senator's and q
host Of others high In the social list Of the national
capital were spectators.
The secretary Of state, himself an enthusiastic ten
mis- player, and Mrs. Stimson witnessed the matches.
1t was Mrs. StimsonIs first appearance in Washington
since her husband became secretary Of state. She has
been here little more than a week. and the greater
part Of this time she has been Ill.
II INC ATTENDS
vieing with the contestants themselves in the lime
light was Dwight r.. Davis, former secretary Of war.
and the donor OF the Davis cup.
His appearance was the signal for much applause
from the gallery. He was introduced to the players
and notable in the gallery by Lawrence A. Baker,
chairman Of the tennis committee Of the Chevy Chase
club, and then faced the battery Of cameras.
MI. Davis long has been a familiar figure In tennis.
During his junior year ut Harvard he was ~intercolle-
gate tennis champion. In 1901 he won the national
doubles championship. and twice In subsequent years,
paired with Holcombe Ward, turned back British
challengers.
That he has lost none Of his old-time prowess In
the game is shown by the fact that In 1913 he wen
the squash racquet championship OF the District q.
Columbia.

The Once Over
THE SILLY SEASON ALoFT
BY q. ]. PHILLIPS

HI 6ALLL GEfAOOEN
This is evidently to be a season Of airplane stunt
orgies. You can't look aloft these days without seeing
a couple Of birdmen trying to set a new worlds rec
ord for unnecessary foolishness. No longer is there
any point in looking up at an airplane and wondering
when 1t will land. 1t may be up for the summer.
Two Fort Worth birdmen we're recently in the air
more than a week without once oming down for a
change of pajamas, new razor blades or the daily
newspapers. They "lit" only when their rlane be-
gan to grow obsolete.
Two French army pilots flew rs hours continuously
at an average speed OF 1l1.76 miles an hour. estsb-
fishing a new worlds record for day and night JOY
riding, and definitely proving that aviation has reach
ed a point where aerial traffic cops will have to work
on 24-hour shifts.
Before the summer Is over there may be contests
to see which naval flyer can open the most oysters
while flying upside down around the Washington
Monument. or which army sirman can eat the largest
number of raspberry pies over the state Of Kansas.
The feat Of Robbins and Kelley In remaining aloft
seven days proves that an airplane is not only a We
hicle Of transportation. but a vacation resort.
1t Just goes to show how long a letter can be held
up by aerial mail If a flyer is in the mood.
But 1t is all so futile. When these two airmea fin
ished their seven-day flight they were still over Texas.
Indy flew only two days, but when he came down he

ever.
The Texas birdmen covered more mileage than
Indy. but they opened no more new routes than a
squirrel in a cage. They didn't even capture The ma
tional imagination. In this practical age few people
can see any sense flying a week and never getting out
OF the one neighborhood.
Still. the craze for aerial stunts is on and the first
thing you know some airmen are going to stay IN the
clouds for two weeks. Then a couple Of flyers VIII
remain up for a month.
And ultimately there will be the grand climax:
Some fellow Will 60 UP in the air and decide not 70
