REPORTS GOOD YEAR
FOR D. c. BUSINESS
Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Head Foresees More
Encouraging Conditions.

Washington business men generally
enjoyed good year during 1928 and
may look to conditions in the ensuing
year with optimism, Gen. Anton
Stephan, president of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, de-
clared yesterday in his annual report to
the board of governors Of the associa-
ton.
THE rapid growth of Washington's
industries and the important part they
play in our business life has not been
generally realized he said. I'm 1925
there was produced in Washington
goods valued at $83,000,000, while in
1926 this total reached 500, 279,2 PTS, an
increase of more than per cent. When
the immediate suburbs in Maryland and
Virginia, in which many of the in
dustries are located, are included, the
total exceeds $l00,000,000.
Outstanding Factors.
outstanding factors in the general
business situation during the past year
were the recovery of the real estate and
building activity, the Federal building
program, the increased salaries for Gov
eminent employees, tOtaling $20,0OOOOO,
and the continued growth OF local in
dustrial undertakings.
with the many additional miles OF
improved roads leading into Washington.
which are now making it possible for
manv thousands of additional people
to trade in Washington who formerly
were compelled to trade elsewhere, the
retail market now has expanded SO
that it now includes more than 100000
people.
National trade organizations are in
ever increasing numbers deciding to
establish their headquarters here. Many
of these organizations require large
stats of high salaried business and
professional people. Business men OF
the National Capital may view with
optimism these trends. which mean a
rapidly increasing population of rela-
lively high purchasing power" he de-
clared.
Statistics Cited.
Gen. Stephan cited statistics pre-
pared by the Federal Reserve Board
local banking institutions and other
business analyses which, he said, in
dicated that 1928 was q good business
year.
Bank clearings, regarded as a good
index of the volume of business, show
ed consistent improvement over 1927,
he said. October established new
monthly record for all time with total
clearings of over $137. 100000 and like
wise bank clearings for the year 1928
established record, having a total OF
more than 81 ,435, 725 900, which exceed
ed by s43,000.000 any previous years
report, he said.
The association adopted resolution
reiterating its support of the Com
munity Chest, movement which it has
been advocating for years, and urged
public support for the chest organiza-
ton which soon is to launch its first
campaign for funds for the cooperative
plan for financing local charitable and
social service organizations of the city.

LATIN AMERICANS

American Enterprise Meets
Sentimental Handicap
in Business.

TO HAMPTON ROADS, January A.
AS he crossed the Andes Pampas, as
he listened to the trade and economic
experts in the ports he visited, Presi-
dent-elect Hoover's fingers must have
itched to get back to bis old trade of
engineering
South America, which holds the most
formidable mountain range of the world
and the greatest tropical river, is built
on grandiose scale and will yield her
richest treasures only to great and
soundly conceived observation-disclosures,
bridges, highways, harbors and such as
Mr.. Hoover used to construct during his
10 years of professional practice.
Europeans Preferred.
Here, in South America, American
enterprise encounters a sentimental
handicap. The governing white breed
came mostly from the Latin nations of
Europe. The immigration, which may
double the population of some Of these
countries within 40 years, proceeds from
the same quarter Of the world. Instinc-
lively they prefer to deal with Spain,
France and Italy rather than with us.
Europeans know this, and for purely
talk of Latin culture. They are even
spending, in some quarters, good deal
Of money on propaganda aimed to that
end.
In time of peace our Government has
never spent a cent abroad for propa-
ganda. Probably 1t never will.
But where we have behind us the
logic of the dollar to fight the logic of
the franc and Ira we win In the end
AS every one knows, we lead the world
in such manufactured products as can
be made by our continuous processes

American automobiles have 80 per cent
of the South American trade. And in

Gel all their European competitors.
Hoover Carried U. S. Spirit.
That, aside from his abilities, was
the secret of Mr.. Hoover'S success in
his rowing engineering days. He carried
abroad the American methods which he
learned as boy in our West.
In spite Of much pressure on the gov
ernments from competing European

The question is this: Just what IS

Well, in the first place, they sure

Things Look Different.
Personally, those gentlemen and
ladies who have found the marriage
ties too irksome, for one reason or
another, are O. K, but these peO-
pie feel that things are not just
quite what they might have been.
The only real harm divorced men

Child
Chance to
Act Natural
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON
What shall we tell our children?"
This was the title of an interesting
looking article in one Of my favor
tie magazines. AS it is always an
intriguing subject for a parent,
clutched the thing and prepared to
start in again on my education
where I had left off after the last
authority.
But I was disappointed, as usual.
The authority really did not say ex-
actly what we were to tell the kids.
She merely pointed out what a hard
Job we had and compared our lot
with that of the fortunate mothers
of the Victorian era.
AS matter Of fact, it seems that
nobody is quite, quite certain as to
what we shall tell the youngsters,
or as to when we shall begin, or
as to how we shall go about it.
Havelock Ellis and Bertrand Rus
less, two of our wisest men, insist
that we must never have any Sc
crets from our boys and girls and
in the next sentence they caution
us about using undue haste so as
to Startle and reDel them.
Authorities at Odds
In world where so many good
folk still relate with zest the story
of the Easter rabbit, the stork, and
Santa Claus, or at best weave fairy
stories about budding seeds, we must
be careful not to contradict each
other and get the childish mind to
believing we are all liars.
The authorities, in fact, disagree.
Then, too, this is such an easy sub
ject to philosophize over and such
a difficult one to handle personally.
But does not a parent need COM
mon sense and an understanding Of
his child before he begins to utilize
any outside advice? I think so. Chill
dren are vastly different, one from
another. I believe that if, instead Of
wasting our brain power studying
authorities, we turned our mental
energy into studying our own chill
dren, we might get somewhere.
For when all is said and done, it is
the child who counts and not
theory of its upbringing.
No Perfect Parents
Furthermore, I don't believe that
anybody ever will make a perfect
parent. No matter what you do, the
time will surely come when you will
question your Judgment and your
wisdom.
One thing I believe We should try;
that is leaving me children alone
part of the time In a land where
we're always shouting the glories
of the "self-made" man, it's aston
ishing what small chances we give
our own youngsters to be themselves.
