Samuel Walter Woodward was
born in December of 1848 and died
in August Of 1917. Alvin Mason
Lothrop was born in July Of 1847
and died in November Of 1912, just
as the last edition had been made
to the store, which made it cover
the entire block with the excep-
tion Of Rich'S corner, which they
have never to this day been able
to buy.
In 1885, when Woodward &
Lothrop began to look around for
a more permanent site on which
they could expand, their sugges-
tionS that F Street, from Ninth to
Fifteenth, would some day be a
good business street" met with
loud outlaws and calamity bowling
from SkepticS.
Expansion Is Rapid
Their first expansion was the
acquisition Of a four-story build
ing at 921 Pennsylvania Ave.
which didn't meet their needs
long. so rapidly did their business
grow.
Sam Woodward was the agreS-
SiVe and progressive member of
the firm; AL Lothrop was the
cautious and perhaps prudent
half Of the combine. Together
they made a wonderful pair, sup
plementing and complementing
each other.
Woodward did all of the buy
ing, bookkeeping, hiring, firing,
managing and detail work. 10th
rop met the customers at the
door and had the uncanny
faculty of remembering them by
name even though their visits
were infrequent.
Buying offices have now been
established in New York, London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Madrid and
Rome.

ON FRIDAY To
PUSHPLANS

The way to establishment Of an
airport for the District was paved
today and probably viii be erav-
ersed by the Joint Congressional
Commission on Airport befort the
end of the week.
Establishment Of an airport
for the National Capital will
probably evolve from a meeting
OF the commission to be held
Friday morning. thus eliminating
about two years of effort on the
part OF airminded individuals of
the city.
Board ReIents
The move which today gave
impetus to the effort to establish
a municipal port came when the
Washington Board of Trade
dropped its "Gravelly Point or
nothing" attitude and announced
that it was agreeable to estab.
nshment Of q temporary airport.
holding Gravelly Point in reserve
Senator Hiram Bingham, chair.
man OF the joint Commission.
said today that he believed this
viii clear the way for action. He
immediately called the commits
sion to meet Friday, when it is
probable that action will be taken.
The Board Of Trade, through
the chairman Of its aviation
committee, Lawrence e. Williams
mas announced that it would be
favorable to establishment Of q
municipal airport through com
0lnation Of Hoover Field and the
washington Air Terminal and a
part Of the government expert
mental farm at the south end Of
the Highway bridge.
Now Under Way
The commission already has
such q proposal under eonsidera-
ton, but action has been Withheld
because Of the strenuous objec-
ton Of the Board of Trade to
any other site being chosen, than
Gravelley Point.
II the Hoover Field site is
chosen, it is emphasized, it will
be simply temporary, and the
will always be able to fan back on
the Gravelley Point site, which
is government owned.

PROMPT ACTION ON LEE1LBACFI BILL is SEEN
WORKERS FAVOR
AMENDMENTS
To MEASURE

Early consideration in the
House Of the amended civil serv.
ice retirement bill, which the
Committee on Civil Service voted
to report yesterday afternoon, was
forecast today by Representative
Frederick r. Lehlbach, committee
Chairman and author Of the com
promise measure.
Although the committee, after
accession of more than two hours
behind closed doors, ordered a
report on the bill it was learned
today that other sessions are to
be held to iron out" the Ian.
guage of the amended bill.
Gets Senate Number
The bill is to go before the
House as Senate No. 49," the
old Dale bill. with amendments.
Retention of the Senate number
and title is expected to expedite
action in the lower body, and
Chairman Lehlbach and other
House leaders were ready today
to give it preferential status as
soon as the amended measures
language is perfected. II the
language Is perfected. If the
written, and given a House num-
Der and title, there might have
been q hitch and a legislative
jam toward the end of the ses-
sion.
II IS understood that a number
OF Senators were determined to
resist substitution Of the Dale bill,
as 1t passed the Senate in Janu-
ary, by a, new bill as recently
introduced by Lehlbach.
See Quick Action
Legislative complications today
appeared to have been cleared
UP and prompt action in the
House, which will be followed
by the sending of the compro.
mise measure to a joint confer.
ence committee Of Senate and
House, seemed assured.
The three amendments written
into the bill by the House com.
mittee yesterday afternoon were
said to be fairly satisfactory to
the various groups of Govern
ment employees who were repre-
sented at the hearings last
week. They provide, in brief:
That In the event of the death
OF an annuitant, such money as
he has in the retirement fund shall
go to his next of kin.
That in the event an employe
should die before retiring, his re-
tirement savings, together with his
tontine money and interest, shall
60 to the next Of kin.
Refund Contribution
That In the event an employe is
separated from the service through
no fault Of his own, his retirement
contributions, including the ton
tine money, shall be refunded to
him.
That from an annuitant's accu-
mutation there shall be deducted
only the excess over the basic an
nuity when computing the balance
to his credit.
