OUR MONEY TO EUROPE

Indications this summer are that at least as many Americans will go abroad as went in 1929, and one esti- mate has it that there will be an increase Of ten per cent. Even should these estimates be in error, it is certain that B veritabl seagoing army of Americans will visit the Old World.
 The point is. how much will they expend in the process? One estimate has 1t that they will spend q billion dollars, most Of which HiI go to foreign steamship lines and 10 for eign inn keepers and merchants.
 This sum is about five times the annual war debt payments 10 the United States from foreign govern ments.
 This American money deposited abroad is expected to do consider able 10 augment the purchasing power Of foreign lands We may get some of the money back in pay ment for American goods; what per centase, however, nobody knows.
 Totalling what our tourists de- posit in Europe, and what we buy from Europe despite the tariffs, 1t is certain that Europe receives more money from America than we receive from Europe for goods sold and money paid on account of the war debts
 And it must not be overlooked that American money, when trans planted to Europe, looks relatively much larger than the native product. LESS SPEED, FEWER DEATHS

"A warning was sounded by the

Commission in its report to Col.
y. s. Grant Sd, executive officer
OF the commission published
today, that the time has come
when serious attention must be

water supply. or making more ef-
tective use Of sources already sup
plying water to Washington and
its environs, including Montgon.
cry and Prince Georges counties
in Maryland and Arlington county,

1t is the opinion of the commit
tee that more water must be found
for Washington and the adjacent
sections at least within the next
so years.
Users Multiply
Colonel Grant in this culiY1ec-
tion does not desire to alarm the
residents of these localities with
propheSieS of a shortage of water
in the near future, but he does
want to call attention to the fact
that the normal increase in the
population of the metropolitan
area of Washington compels the
responsible authorities to move
without delay.
The water supply committee. in
its preliminary report to the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, calls attention to the
following possibilities or combina-
tions of them" as being worthy Of
attention:

STORES ENTER
TYPICAL GIRL
CONTEST
Lorraine Spencer, 19, Clerk
and Typist, Is Nominated
for Free Journey to Paris

Inc department. SVOEeS AGAIN lay
claim to the typical Washington
girl. -
Miss Lorraine Spencer, 10 years
old, Of 37l2 Thirteenth st. N. W.,
who has been employed for three
years at the store Of S. Kanns
Sons Company, has been nomi-
mated for the honor by her friends.
Miss Spencer attended high
school and later took business
course. She is a good typist and
file clerk. She Is fond Of litera-
ture, likes to draw, can play the
piano, and is a wonderful dancer.
She drives a car and Is fond Of all
kinds of outdoor sports. She is a
good cook and dressmaker and
does fancy work. Her friends de-
clare she is very pretty and has a
charming personality.
Rivalry is Keen
Will Miss Spencer be the fortu-
nate girl who will receive free
trip to Paris in December as guest
of The Washington Times and
Gloria Swanson, famous movie
actressp Perhaps some other
washington girls will have some
thing to say about that, for the
rivalry is keen. Every branch Of
business life is represented among
the nominations.
Some girls simply can't under
stand that this trip is absolutely
free. Every day they call UP to
learn what they have to do, low
many subscriptions they have to
sell to win the coveted title and
the rich reward.
The answer Is this: "YOu
don't have to do . blessed
thing but have yourself placed
in nomination. The rest re-
mains with the judges, who will
compare the accomplishments
of the various entrants and
pick out the Typical Wash
ingtOn Girl"
Not a Beauty Contest
Many inquiries are being re-
ceived as to whether this is a
beauty contest. Absolutely not.
OF course, an extremely homely
girl would hardly be selected by
the judges as the Typical Wash
ington Girl, but personal appear
ance is only one OF the numerous
elements entering into the Seicc-
ton.
What The Times wants to find
is a girl embodying those sterl-
ing qualities that make up the
ideal young womanhood of the
District today. AS to what yhese
qualities are and which girl best
fulfilIS the requirements. nothing
will be definitely known until the
judges meet during the Latter
part of next month.
Nominations are in order all
this month.
