Potomac Boat Trips
GrOU in Popularity

The invigorating breezes from
the Potomac River serve as a tonic
for that tired feeling, or an anti
dote for the heat, and that ex'
plains the growing popularity OF
the City of Washington, both on
its trips to Chapel Point every day
except Tuesday and it's moonlight
cruise every evening in the week
Large crowds are making Chapel
Point the salt water metropolis Of
Maryland, and there are many
other diversions at the Point.
A 20-acre picnic ground. the new
Chapel Point Riding Academy
available row boats and motor
boats, Fairgrounds for the children
with swings, see-saws, ETC., as well
as dancing pavilion, restaurant
and hotel, make the Point a rendez
vous of pleasure for all.
On the moonlight trips, the
main diversion is dancing to the
tunes of Happy walker s
orchestra, and for those who dc
not care to dance there are bridge
tables aplenty, comfortable chairs
to enjoy the mellow moonlight on
the broad waters of the Potomac
or the special auditorium ortho
pho1ic concerts.

COMEDY TEAMS

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, July II.
Comedy teams have been brought
back to fashion by Robert Wool
b sey and Bert Wheeler.
A year ago, all the studios were
discarding their paired comedians.
Karl Dane and George K. Arthur
cropped out Of the limelight at
Metro -Goldwyn. Other companies
followed suit.
Now, warner Brothers are
planning to feature Olsen and

A Seat for Everybody
On Glen Echo Buses

A. very attractive feature of the
new bus service to Glen Echo
Park, recently inaugurated fr on
Dupont Circle, is the fact that no
passenger will be permitted to

The route is from Dupont en-
Gle out Massachusetts, Avenue to

Extra" FrOcks for Your Summer
Wardrobe

Extra" FrOcks for Your Summer
Wardrobe
lust about now, many summer
y occasions come along for which
an extra little dress would fill in
beautifully. Buying a summer
dress now Is excellent economy.
You'll find better values than
you've seen all season; and II you
choose your dress carefully, you'll
find the style will be good to start
off next summers wardrobe.
If you haven't a chiffon in your
summer wardrobe, by all means
select chiffon for the extra frock
you buy now. If you're going
away week-endS, choose a chiffon
print. Because it will come out
of your travelling bag ready to
wear right away chiffon prints
have the delightful habit Of not
looking wrinkled! And your printed
chiffon will be just right for the
beginning Of next summer, too.
Be sure you get it long enough.
Skirts are emphatically not going
to be shorter. In fact, they may
grow bit longer over the winter.
Perhaps you'd prefer a plain.
colored chiffon. These are not
quite as popular as prints, but
they're equally smart perhaps
even a bit smarter.
Maybe you need an extra frock
for less formal occasions than
those which demand chiffon. Then
choose a pastel silk crepe, and to
be very practical, buy one that's
washable. Pastel blues and ptnks
are especially good; yellows ana
greens are also in the fashion
picture. And for most any day
time occasion during the summer,
there's nothing cooler or Sweeter
than one of these charming
dresses, with short sleeves or
jaunty little capelets.

American Can

With the steel industry barely
holding its own and market ex-
perts predicting record-breaking
earnings for American Can in
1880, there is strong possibility
that it may oust U. s. Steel as
the bell wether of the industrial
list. 1t is freely remarked in the
financial district that steel has
lost the leadership of the market,
although the action of the stock
yesterday seemed to discredit
these claims. 1t is pointed out,
however, that the same banking
interests are behind both corpora
tions, and it matters little which
of them takes the leadership of
the list. 1t is believed Can
should be purchased at the mar
ket and held for long-term in
veStment. 1t will have its set
backs, as will all other stocks,
but it will make large profits fer
its holders by the end of the
year.
Strong interests are grooming
MiSseuri-Kansas Pipe Line for a
sharp rise. The stock is listed on
the curb.
Pan-American Pete "B"
1t was reported in the most
reliable quarters that Pan-Ameri-
can Petroleum "B" is about to
step out and take the leadership
of the oil group. It is predicted
the stock will soar to IS or 90 in
very short period. It is added
that the group working in this
stock usually obtains it's objec-
tive.
Abandonment Of the freight
prepayment and parcel post pre-
payment policy by Sears-Roebuck
and Montgomery Ward will add
materially to the net profits of
these companies this year.
Eastman Kodak
Probably no stock listed on the
big board has been recommended
here this year as often as East
man Kodak. Reports current in
the financial district seem to
warrant all claims for the stock.
1t is rumored the directors Of the
company, at their dividend meet
ing this week, will announce
plans for a split up of the stock.
There was talk of a special meet
ing, but well-informed sources say
no special meeting has been con-
sidered. Split up of the shares
would work to the advantage of
stockholders and place the stock
IN trading range once more.
Increased activity in Bulova
Watch brought a fractional gain

Irving Airchute
Since January l, untitled busi-
ness of Irving Airchute Company

for 1881. The Soviet government
has ordered 100 parachutes,
