such cities as Philadelphia, Atlanta or
even Baltimore
For instance, there has been received
here the trade area map published by
San Francisco, which claimed, in .addi-
ton to the population Of that city and
California, an aggregation of 600 900 900
persons living in Central and South
America. Hawaii Australia, the East

Specialist Makes Survey.
The Washington market map is based
on research study by William j.
Reilly, marketing specialist and asso-
ciate professor of business administra-
ton of the University of Texas, setting
up a method to determine with con-
siderable exactnesS" the proportion of
business which competing cities may
expect from the same market area.
Briefly, this study shows that the
business each of two competing cities
may reasonably expect from any point
in the same area depends upon the rela-
tive population and distance from the
selected place the survey handbook
states. More specifically, the business
that one large city can expect from
any place in the same market area is
in direct proportion as the populations
of tne two cities and inversely in pro-
portion as the squares of the ratio of
their respective distance from the par
ticular place.
For example, at a point midway in
the market area near to two cities, one
of 200 900 population and the other of
100000. the larger city will secure two
hundred thousand one hundred thou
sandths, or two times, the business the
smaller city secures at the same place.
On a percentage basis the larger city
secures 66 2-3 per cent of the business
that goes out of the point and the
smaller city 33l3 per cent"
This is given to explain the per-
centage of business in the Washington
area which the survey experts figure
this city should receive. as compared
with Baltimore, the only other city in
this area of a size comparable to that
of Washington.

LONDON, November I4.---The Inn
perial Conference Of 1890 completed tss
sessions at noon today and adjourned,
its economic section to meet again Z
year from now, probably at Ottawa,
Canada.
The closing ceremony was held at q
final plenary session Of the dominion
premierS in the Locarno room OF the
foreign Office where the report Of the
sessions was read and accepted.
The report contained decisions made
by the conference. There were prob
lens. however, notably those Of an Inn
portant economic nature. which faced
the conference, on which no decision
was noted
Principal among these was that rep-
resented by suggestions of Premier BEN
nett OF Canada that members of the
British commonwealth grant tariff pref
erences to other members of the British
Commonwealth OF Nations over the
/ tariffs imposed on goods OF nom British
nations
In this connection a government an
nouneement said today that the exist
ing margin OF preferences would con-
tinue for period Of three years, sub
ject to the right of the British parlia-
ment to make its own budget
The meeting today was largely Of
formal character, with speeches by the
various prime ministers and q vote Of
thanks and message to King George.

The population of the entire metro

Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun-

a radius of approximately 20 miles of

The survey handbook contains a

percentage of trade which this CITY

receive, from outlying sections. 1t is
noted, however, that, contrary to the
practice of numerous cities in broad
casting trade maps, the local survey

This Is the ffth Of a series Of stories

The unusual strength and consistency
of the National Capital and its sur
rounding territory as a consuming
market are revealed in statistics COM
piled by the Board of Trade in its
master community survey concerning
the high level of income of dominat-
ing strata of local society and the
consistency of such income, the popula-
ton of the District and the suburban
areas Immediately tributary to Wash
tngton and the excellency of trans
portation to and from the city.
Because of the steady income from
the Government, Washington has not,
as a rule, had extremely depressed or
boom periods" the trade body states in
its survey handbook About one-third
of all gainfully employed persons work
for the Government, and this acts as a
balance wheel that helps preserve an
unusually steady economic equilibrium. Z"
Aside from the steady income to local
residents from Government employ

Federal Employees Increase.
washington as the Capital of the
Nation may be said to have as its
principal business the Government of
the United States" the handbook state
ment continues. The value of Federal
Government property here is estimated
at $3.50, 600, 900 ano of the District Gov
eminent property 100000. The
number of employees in the service of
the Government was found to have
been always on the increase, except
for about eight years subsequent to the
World War, when the Government was
reducing its wartime staff. During
the past two years the number again
has begun to increase.
There are approximately 79,1 per-
sons on the pay rolls of the Federal
and District Governments. About $500
work for the municipality. The total
annual pay roll of this army of work
ers is found to be STA 1896 600, or ST.
1850 on each semi-monthly pay day.
The average salary is reported to be
$2,209, and for those in the classified
service $2,103.
For the city as a whole a much

from the efforts already being made to
get things under way.
Sam Rowe, chairman of the publicity,
committee, met with newspapermen OF
the valley this week and talked over with
them. plans and policies to be adopted by
the fair in connection with publicity.
Due to unfamiliarity with some of the
details of fair operating last year, some
of the newspapermen-in fact maybe all
of thenl-had their toes stepped upon at
one time or another, and stepping ON the
toes of the fourth estate is always bad
idea for there is no gang that will carry
a grudge further than the scribes, If the
wrong sponsoring the grudge is directed
against them or their profession The
party inspiring the grudge may be lnno-
cent of intending to do so, but even then,
the scribes are a heartless and cold
blooded lot 1t isn't them personally
they don't care two boots in Hades about
themselves-but it is 1.-The game.
The conference with Rowe, plus some
fine missionary work among the newspa-
permen on the part of Ben Hulse, presl-
dent of the fair board, has succeeded IN
ironing out the wrinkles and the news
papers of the valley are back OF the fair
100 per cent and beyond. They would
have been anyhow, for there is no aggre-
YatlOn more IOydl TO 1IIIpeIldl VoiiSy anu
its institutions than its newspapermen.
But they can do their work now with
better grace.
Working with newspapermen is not
difficult job although the layman often
makes it so. If he would only realize that
the scribes know their business, know
how it should be done and the best way
for doing it, and that the foundation of
success in newspaperwork is the un-
bounded faith of the public in the news
paperman's integrity-the scribes' work
would be shorn of many annoying Incl
dents.
Newspaper work paradoxically is high
ly personal and impersonal at the same
time The newspaperman must make his
personal self known and felt, but he must
do his work absolutely impersonally II ne
is to succeed. :,
The fair board and all connected with
the fair, will find no better cooperation
than they will receive from the
neWSpapermen.

TALK
PRESENTED AT
LIONS MEETING

w. w. McEuen, manager of the
local office of Pioneer Title Insur-
ance and Trust company, was
speaker of the day yesterday at the
meeting of the Lions club held a.
noon in the Barbara Worth.
Christmas and the true Christmas
spirit formed the theme of his talk
and he pointed out that while bust
ness men are often considered hard
shelled and curt, underneath this
exterior. they have a spirit OF tel
, lowship and cooperation that j.
characteristic of this season. In tins
connection he brought out the point
that service clubs have done much
to foster this spirit OF aid to one S
fellow man.
r. B. Whitelaw, president OF the
chamber of commerce, gave briet
talk on the membership drive Icr
that organization which the Lions
club is sponsoring. Many interest
ing facts concerned with the work
by the chamber OF commerce we've
presented in order to give the club

bits to a hollow tree for a Christmas
present, and now must carry them
along in parade through the
food. The children and I will march

"Oh, how wonderful and kind you
are!" squeaked Nurse Jane. So she
made many bags, baskets and bun
dies of sugar and spice and every
thing nice and Uncle Wiggily car
ried some and marched at the head
of the parade of his little rabbits
carrying the rest.

ENB4TTLED FARMERS

Farmers of Indiana showed yesterday
that they have pretty much the same
snirit shown by the farmers who chaseo
the British troops from Concord back 10
Lexington on a very memorable OCCASION
When five men held up and robbed the
bank at Clinton, Indiana, 1t was the sig
nal for arousing the entire countryside
and hastily organized posses set out IN
pprsuit of the bandits. Through towns
and across open country raced pursued
and pursuers.
The bandits, guarded by three machine
guns mounted on truck, had bit OF ad-
vantage, their superior arms enaoilng
them to sweep the posse with raklng
fire which made work at close quarters
difficult.
Undaunted, the farmers and special Of
ficers kept doggedly on and stayed rlght
at the heels of the bandits as the latter
took one car after another as they redouo-
led their efforts to escape Finally cor
nered when their machine broke down,
two of the bandits were slain third was
badly wounded and the remaining two
were also taken into custody. They very
naeekly wandered out from a cornfleld 10
surrender when they realized the game
was up.
On the side of law and order there was
only one casualty, deputy sheriff being
badly wounded when struck by bullet
from one of the machine guns when ne
attempted to halt the bandits as they
swept through his town. He died later
One of the dead men was from Chlca-
go He made the mistake Of thinking
that the rest of the country IS like ms
home city, tamely submitting to the rule
of the gangster and the racketeer The
Indiana farmers proved differently.
If more communities took up the cause
of the law and order as promptly and as
sincerely as these farmers did, the gang
ster business would meet a terrific slump.

Who are the Bad Chaps?" asked

were no longer cold, but still hun
cry And why will they catch good,
kind Uncle Wiggily?"
'The Bad Chaps" explained the
Owl. "are the Fox, the Wolf and

after Uncle Wiggily to nibble him"
"Oh, I hope they don't nibble MIN

bunny.
Anyhow, I hope they don't catch
him before he gets back here with
something for us to eat" said one ct
the little boy rabbits in the holloW
tree"
Uncle Wiggily is pretty lucky,
hooted the Owl.
BY this time Mr.. Longears had
hoped back to his hollow stump
bungalow. 1t was afternoon and
nearly all his little rabbit boys and
girls. including Baby Bunty, the
orphan child, were home from
school.
Get ready, my dears!" Uncle Wig

sighted sort of fellow.
Nunez disrupted the decorum of

Of Police Frank p. McCaslin his
desire to make a deposit Of $40.
The $40. Nunez explained, was
his fine for beating up on fellow

occurred, but Nunez. apparently
considered it worth $50 to get the
thing out of his system. When the
chief would not take the fine, since
no offense had been committed.
Nunez went despondently on his
way.
Sure enough, at about 10 o'clock
last night the police department
received a call, answered it and
hauled Nunez into durance vile.
