DISTRICT TAKES
HIGH PLACE IN
BUSINESS
Natural Location of Capital to
Eastern Seaboard Aids in
Growth and Power

Washington, intended by it's
founders to be merely the seat of
the National Government and the
home of those connected with it,
is rapidly assuming a high posi-
ton in the world of finance and
business.
Numerous manufacturing con-
Germs maintain branch factories
here and in some instances these
firms are in the foremost rank OF
their enterprise in the United
States.
Washington also serves as a
clearing house for a great deal Of
the produce and commodities
which are shipped from the North
to the South and vice versa. Huge
railroad yards have been developed
here by the several lines which
operate from the city. A large
portion of the shipments from
either the North or South pass
through Washington and neceS-
sary diversion is made here.
Specialties Gain
Small factories, dealing in spec
ialties, are established in the Dis
trict and due to the location Of
the city to the rest of the East
ern seaboard they have been re-
porting favorable progress and it
is practically assured that their
growth will continue.
In the financial field the city
has rapidly forged to the front
and is among the leading
financial centers of the world.
OF course, it must be realized
that the location Of the Treasury
Department in the city has had
a great deal to do with this
expansion.
However. it will be noted that
this growth financially has been
far greater than this one fact
could help. Today many broker
age firms and investment bankers
maintain huge offices here and
are in direct touch with financial
developments in all parts of the
country.
Whereas, several years ago
there were only a few brokerage
firms with offices in the District
of Columbia, today there is an
ever growing financial district
with huge buildings being erected
for expansion as the need grows.
Boom Believed Near
It is predicted by many that
the National Capital will in time
reach a place very near that of
New York as a center of world fl
nance. Some even go as far as
to predict that the city of Wash
ington may in years to come sur
pass the huge metropolitan mar
ketS.
It is an interesting thing to
men who have been connected
with the growth Of the city for
many years to watch the ex-
panSion as time goes on. Some
of them declare that the growth
is unparalleled in their memory.
In SNveral fields, especially in
the realty field, there is the feel
ing that the District of Columbia
Is on the verge of another great
boom that will gather weight
within the next few years. How
far their predictions will 60 to-
ward correctness is a matter to
be decided by time, but it will be
interesting to those connected
with it.
John B. Larner, president of
the Washington Loan and Trust
Company, is preparing the an
nual report of the company, it
was learned today. While profits
of the institution may have fallen
in 1880 below the levels set in
other years, it is understood that
the report will show that the in
stitution has had very success

.B|C FOOD CORPORATION
 SHOWING REAL INTEREST

Colonel Ohlson states that his ef- forts to promote the reindeer in- dustry as a means of providing ad- ditional tonnage for the railroad, have been given considerable en- couragement by the General Foods corporation, which controls the Brdseye quick freezing process. ac- cording to the Anchorage Times
 The General Foods corporation, is displaying real interest in the project and has agreed to send ex- perts to Alaska this year to make a study of the situation. The plan, if carried out by that concern, is to do it's slaughtering at Cantwell and freezing at Seward, the coast town having been selected SO that fresh fish, as we'll as reindeer meat, can be handled.

Continued from yesterday

Continued from yesterday At maternity, women were taken to a separate zimnick (hut), near their homes, the babuShka (mid-
 wife) was summoned. After de- livery, the babushka tied the um-
 bilical cord with sinew, washed the
 child in cold water and rubbed it with seal or cod liver oil. Female infants were named after mo- thers, grandmothers; male infants
 after fathers, grandfathers or bos- om friendS-for no matter who you
 are, you are some mothers child. Five days after childbirth in
 older women or ten days after
 ward in younger women, the ban
 va (bath) was heated with hot
 rocks and mothers and infants
 were bathed and returned to their
 homes. While the mothers are in their huts, none of the men are al-
 lowed to enter their huts. ''Re-
 garding the isolation of mothers
 and care of infants, I gave neces- sary instructions to toyons in the
 event of winter, or extreme cold
 weather" "-Gedeon.
 SPARE THE ROD
 The rearing of children consists
 mainly in not allowing children
 to cry, even one of ' years old;
 as consequence, it may be as-
 stunned that parents loved their
 children tenderly. They never
 gave corporal punishment, either
 to the young or half-grown, but
 merely admonished them; when
 ever this didn't produce a change, it was given before elders. Should
 the latter means prove ineffect- i've, the child was considered a fool or a savage.
 At present, fathers and mothers teach the young to greet people
 and pray to God The girls com mence to work at six years, make thread; weave ingenious mats and observe cleanliness. During pas time boys make arrows, small bi- darahs, bidarcas, paddles, throw arrows on the beach, and in gen. eral, accustom themselves to fut- ure occupations. They assist on the rivers in preparing food sup plies; at 14, they are taught to ride in bidarcas, fish in calm wea- ther and spear birds; at 16, they are taken by fathers or relatives
 on sea otter hunts.

Cincinnati Enqurer0
 The Vice-Presdent of Universal Division, Amer- can Airways, Inc. insists that notwithstanding the fact that aviation is the infant among Amer- industries, it is leader among those industries which have gone forward in 1930 despite the wide heralded depression Aviation has enjoyed ban- ner year and enters upon the year to achieve new and more remarkable performance records
 MT. Dunwoody says that there has been steady and persistent growth in lair wisdom of the peo- corner" Today we are standing the solid rock" The Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aeronautcs adds his official words of promise and felicitaton.
 Colonel Dunwoody in the industry ind cator of general business He points to the records of gasoline and oil used in the industry, which has jumped from 3,3O0000 gallons of gasoline and 165,000 gallons of oil to 20576,468 gallons of gaso- line and 102300O gallons of oil in 1929 against 1926, with promise of greater increase during 1880
 But most encouraging is the statement that to- day there is country, combination of coun- tries that has a commercial air transport system, aircraft industry. that compares with that which exists in the United States And the poten- States exceed by far, those of any other nation group of nations.
 We have here the summation of the greatest and most reliable aviation authority in the world and it should make the American citizen proud and happy and deliver him from the fears and obses- sionS which for long have operated to depress him These fears and obsessions from foreign and interested sources.

ketball and football, to the highly commercialized sports such as prize fighting and horse racing.
 There are some 100000 golfers, 100000 tennis players and 100000 basketball players in the United States It costs about $42,000,000 to outfit
 this army for a season For footballs alone for the 15O0o0 players taking part in that game requires an outlay of $7oO0,O00. Add to these figures the costs for other sports such as racing, yachting, hunting and camping equipment, plus the price of tickets for all forms of competitive amusement and it is apparent that the $2000000o0 estimate is conservative
 To see the great Notre Dame football team, more than 5o00o0 fans paid over $1,500,0O0, and Yale Harvard, Pennsylvania and other prominent teams played to more than 100000 each. To the major league baseball teams perform on the diamond last season, 100000 fans passed through the turn stiles Racing and boxing added their millions of spectators and millions of dollars at the box offices This is all the financial side.
 On the side of achievement American athletics turned in many sparkling performances in all lines of sport with boxing the possible exception On the whole they gave full value for the money laid out in this great recreatona program, the greatest in all times and if 1881 does well American sports lovers will have for complaint.

The Governors Course.
(NeW York Times.)

During the last State campaign the charge that Franklin D. Roosevelt a appange of Tam many came largely from Republican sources MT, Futile declared the issue "Is the Governor big ger than Tammany Hall?' Some Democratic news papers which disagreed with MT. Roosevets tactics in dealing with fraud revelations in New York City, displayed fear that the answer might be in the nega tive But overwhelming proportion of those who voted thought otherwise. His endorsement came personal tribute from all parts of the State.
 An examination of MT. Roosevets career ind- cates strongly that he is aware of the political rewards which paid for independence and be-
 lief in high personal character. When he entered public life he had besides his then unknown abi ties, two assets: his opposition to organization methods and his family name. His use of these early prominence and place He was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Navy by Woodrow Will Vce-Presidential nomination followed When. upon the nomination of MT. Smith for President in 1928, the necessity of finding candidate for Governor whose personality and career would aid in carrying this State, MT Roosevelt was in- duced, after long argument, to take the nomination In that year he won a remarkable personal vic tory

Til den the nemesis of the Tweed Ring. The enmity of the Tammany of that day made him the popular choice of the voters for President. As Gov ernor of New York, Cevelands fearless disregard of Tammany'S policies and demands an outstand- ing trait That served largely to win for him the Presidency. Governor Roosevelt must know that the examples all in favor of independence for man in his position. In the last campaign he moved cautiously in dealing with local scandals. But he moved effectively. The Appellate Division inquiry was begun at his request. He has now declined to permit local bosses to dictate appointments in his Cabinet There is the usual talk of reprisal of the organization of fight against instructing New York's delegation for him for President in 1882 Cleveland was nominated against that very opposi- tion Provided always that he acts justly and wisely the Governor must realize that he has more to gain from certain kind of machine animosity than from it's enthusiastic support.

Even those who do not credit him with his very obvious will for righteousness in government should be glad of that

Demand For Grain
Fed Cattle Actiue

LOS ANGELES, July 23.-Trad
ing in the cattle market continues
to be marked by a very active de-
nland for neaty, good quality an
imals which show effects of grain
finish, while the plain and inferior
grades of cattle which are coming
from districts where range feed and
water are scarce are in poor de-
mand. Prices have held steady on
the better grades of cattle, but out
let for other grades is only effected
at relatively low prices. At this
writing, the price range between
common steers and choice, baby
beef type animals of good breeding,
is the greatest in the history of
the Los Angeles market.
A factor which has helped to
stabilize cattle values has been the
substantial weight Of cattle. In Feb
ruary, steer hides sold at S cents
a pound on the Pacific Coast; in
July, sales were made as high as
II cents. This means difference
of approximately $3.50 in the value
of the hide of the average 1000
pound steer, as compared with
earlier in the year, and of course,
this difference is reflected in live
cattle values.
The greatest problem confronting
the meat distributors at present is
the sale of the large volume of plain
quality beef, including material
from the short ranges and dairy
herds. Unfortunately, there has so
far been narrow demand for feeder
cattle, despite the very low prices
of grain and hay. This is due main
" to cautious attitude maintain
ed by financial interests. The av-
erage cattle feeder has lost some
part of his principal during the
serious market declines the past
year, and is unable to finance his
operations without substantial as
sistance from bankers and loan
companies. A great volume of beef
is moving directly into retail chan
neIs that should have had turn in
the feedlot, and this condition may
prove to be a serious handicap to-
wards improvement in market values
when the heavy movement of range
cattle gets under full swing from
the Mountain States and the South
west.
Hog values have been pretty we'll
maintained during the past week.
