He RE
Officials Confident District Will
Be Leader in Recovery
From Nationwide Slump

Officials connected with Wash
ington realty firms, building and
loan companies and other organi-
) xations interested in construction,
sale and rental of various types
Of buildings in the city are sure
that q definite change in the
entire situation will be seen
within the next six months.
A definite recoverysin the build
ing industry is thought by many
to be an assured fact. Relief CT
unemployment in the building
trades will be one of the bene-
fits to be derived from such an
occurrence.
A Steady Growth
washington, the officials point
out, is q steady city; that is the
majority of population is fixed
and there is also a steady growth
in many sections of the city in
addition to the residents, property
owners and occupants Of stores,
1t is shown.
A definite revival Of Washing
ton business general in addition
to the rally in the real estate
business here is thought immi-
nent. It is pointed out that the
District of Columbia. having felt
the depression less than nearly
any other part of the United
States should logically be the
first to recover. Already there
are certain optimistic signs in
various industries and branches
of commercial enterprise.
Joshua Edwards, jr., president
Of the District National Securi-
ties Corporation, today. announced
passage Of the dividend on stock
Of the company for the quarter
ending December 81, 1880. This
action, Mr.. Evans said, was
taken by directors Of the COM
pany, due to the fact that "busi-
ness prudence does not warrant
further distribution at this time" :"
In a letter sent stockholders
of the company, Mr.. Evans cited
that the company had paid divi-
dends this year amounting to
$5.25 per share. However, the
president of the firm showed
that the firm, in company with
many other investment COM
panies this year, has shared in
the nationwide business depres-
sion of the current year.
It is anticipated. Mr.. Evans
wrote stockholders, unless some
unforeseen depreciation in real
estate values should occur, that
directors will resume payment Of
the dividends, in part at least,
by April !, 1881.
The usual annual statement Of
the company will be mailed
stockholders, it was said, at the
close of the year, as soon as the
auditor Of the firm completes his
preparation Of it.
Directors Of the firm expressed
confidence in the future of bust
ness in Washington and expressed

By w. s. COUSINS


NEW YORK, Dec. ~
Q.N.S.). - There Ia little
doubt that we at last have
turned, or are about to turn,
the corner Of business depres-
sion. Although the present
year has been one Of read
justment and Of planning In
which many major lines Of
business have Jared rather
badly, signs for 1881 give
many indications Of approach
ing improvement in the gen
eraI situation"
Many Changes Seen
This statement was made here
today by Frank A. Ketcham, preSi-
dent of the Graybar Electric Com.
pany and one Of the country'S
leading figures in the field of cleo"
trical merchandising, in an exclu-
sive interview with International
News Service. To Mr.. Ketcham's
way of thinking, one Of the i'm
mediate encouraging signs is pro.
vided by the greater stability Of
wholesale prices and the firmer
trend of the important commod'
ity markets.
Mr.. Ketcham is emphatic, how
ever, in warning industry and the
public against expecting too rapid
a recovery. In all probability, he
states, the greater part Of 1881
will be required to readjust busi-
ness and industry Of normal
levels. He added:
Sees Better Times
81 believe the year 1889 win
60 down in history as one Of the
most severe periods of economic
readjustment that we as a ma
tiOn have ever experienced. But
If this 1880 industrial stagnation
and liquidation period has made
all of us better informed Of the
basic principles underlying sue
cessfuI management, then who
can say that perhaps it has not
been wOrthwhile?"
Mr.. Ketcham sees many indicar
tions that industry itself has de-
cided to take more constructive
action, based on the belief that
liquidation has proceeded far
enough. In addition is the fact
that municipalities, States and
National Government are under.

will require the expenditure OF
many millions Of dollars and the
employment of thousands Of men,
He said:

it well to bear in mind that this
country is still the richest ma
tiOn in the world, and from all In
dications appears likely to remain

CHIEF ITEMS ON
HOOVER'S SLATE
ARE UNFINISHED
Republican Spokesman Cite
Complex Reforms as
Defense.

BIZ Seripps-HOtCGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-As the
end Of President Hoover's first year
in the White House approaches,
politicians today pointed out that
many major items of his program
are far from actual accomplishment.
In answer TO Democratic criticism,
however. Republican spokesman re-
ply that not in years has any Pres
ident inaugurated so many complex
and difficult reforms in the field Of
foreign and domestic affairs.
Nevertheless, signs Of unrest in
side and outside congress have
aroused some fear for the outcome
of the November elections among
Republican political planners. They
admit the return Of a Senate even
more strongly dominated by the
Democrats and ProTessives would
jeopardize the administrations pro-
gram for the next two years.
So far the outstanding accom-
plishments have been the business
conferences designed to alleviate
effects of the Stock Market crash
and establishment of the federal
farm board. These developments,
however, have been offset, Repub-
leans admit, by falling wheat and
cotton markets, tariff delay, con-
tinued unemployment and tenden-
cy on the part of business to re-
trench.
Tie senate stin is battling over
the tariff measure, with Majority
Leader Watson, who admits he is
an "organized optimist," hoping to
pass it by March 10. But there is a
growing belief that the house lead
ers will make fight on the Senate's
lower rates and it may remain in
conference a long while.
Whereas, Hoover had hoped TO
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1930-02-21

relegate the prohibition issue to
the field of investigation and study
by his law enforcement commission,
the subject is more alive now than
In recent years. While vets are as
sailing the commissions recon-
mendations for improving enforce
ment, senatorial drys are demand
ing an inquiry into conditions with
the aim of embarrassing certain ad-
ministration officials.
The hearings now under way be-
fore the house judiciary committee
are keeping the question before the
public, and it is expected to pro-
woke controversy right into No
vember.
Hoover'S most important foreign
venture-the naval disarmament
conference at London-has not yet
produced results predicted by adj
ministration spokesman.
An almost open break between
the White House and the senate
Progressives, including Borah and
Brookhart, two OF his leadlng CAM
paign champions, is regarded as one
of the most important developments
of recent months.
Hoover has been opposed by them
on farm relief, the Hughes appoint
ment and the ALLEGATION of power
at Boulder dam. They have, more
or less, ASSOCIATED themselves from
the G.. o. P.
The latest development which
may prove embarrassing to the ad-
ministration is the revelation that
Claudius H. Huston of Tennessee,
Hoover's personally selected chair
man Of the Republican national
committee, has been connected with
the lobby that tried to have Muscle
Shoals leased to the American Cya-
namid Company.

Get the facts about this medicine
and then decide what you will do
about Konjola. Life surely teaches
no more valuable lesson than that
it is wise to profit by the expert
ences of others. Let the words OF
those who know what Konjola can
do be your guide.
Take. as a typical example OF
Konjola at work, the case Of Mrs.
F1orine Hill, SOC Fletcher avenue,
indianapolis, who said to the Kon-
lola Man a few days ago:
IT will never overlook the oppor-
hlnity to tell others of the powers
Of this amazing medicine, Kon1ola.
For the last year or so had been
steadily going downhill in health.
NV stomach and liver were out OF
order and not q day passed but
what they caused misery and dis
tress. Soon became highly nery-
Gus. I had no appetite, my COM
plaxion broke out with eruptionS
and I had no energy or ambition
to do my work. did not sleep
soundly at night and was always
tired out in the morning. I was in
a very weakened condition and at
a loss to know what to do for my
self.
"This was my exact condition
when Konjola was first recommend
ed. I heard so many wonderful
things about its accomplishments
that I knew I would be making a
mistake not to give it trial. I
secured several bottles and when I
finished them I felt like a different
person. My system was cleansed
and invigorated. My complexion
cleared off and my stomach and
liver were restored to normal con-
dition. I gained strength and en-
ergy and now work daily without
becoming tired or wornout. Kon-
lola worked so quickly and yet so
thoroughly that I was astounded.
No wonder it is known as the medi-
cine with more than a million
friends"
One does not have long to wait for re-
suits once Konjola goes into action.
Konjola is all pure. powerful medicine,
every drop and every drop works.

'MOHAWKS ROUT

Frank Kersey's touted Knicker-

Mohawk eleven last night. Out
