MOVING FIR NJ
PROGRESSIVE

Calvert and Rogers, Inc, is
progressive. Organized but a few
years ago, the firm has become
one to be taken into account
whenever moving, hauling, or
storing is considered.
Starting with three trucks, the
film has been enabled to increase
it's fleet continually. It has con-
tracts with some Of the largest
and best known national con-
Germs, besides doing hauling, dray-
ing and delivering for a large
number of local business houses.
In order to increase this, the
company has recently added new
and unusual equipment to its al
ready efficient supply. This in
cludes a new warehouse with
railroad siding facilities, and dis
play rooms for the use Of Gus
toners.
The main storerooms is at 1858
Florida Ave. N. E. The firm is
composed Of young Washington
men who credit their unusual and
steady growth to the fact that
satisfaction is their Watchword,
as well as honesty and courtesy
from employees.

MINERAL WATER
FAME ENDURES

Some 20 years ago the first
Of the famous mineral water
wells was drilled on the west
side Of West Mountain, Mineral
Wells, Texas. AS the business
grew and the demand for the
famous mineral water became
greater, more wells were drilled.
There are now II wells in opera
tion. The wells are not flowing,
but instead the water filters into
them and is pumped out by elec-
tricity.
The following log Of the forma-
tions through which the wells are
drilled illustrates the care taken
in the drilling and completing of
the wells in order to keep the
water in its pure state:
A drill is sent through 100 feet
of blue shale. At this depth is
encountered the cap rock (about
18 inches in thickness). At this
point a steel casing is set and
cemented into the cap rock.
After it has thoroughly set the
mineral rock is drilled which
runs from 80 to 38 feet in thick
ness. The mineral water filters
slowly into the wells, and the
pumps are geared to pump the
water as it filters slowly in. Each
W. will produce on the average
Of about 10 gallons of water in
an hour.
BY process of evaporation,
these waters are reduced to
crystals and shipped over the en-
tire country. These crystals,
when dropped in any pure water,
will produce the same water
chemically that comes from the
wells at the fields. These crys-
tails may be procured in Wash
ington at the Famous Mineral
Water Crystal Company in the
Investment Building.

PURCHASE
SEASON HERE

The Leeth Brothers, selling
Dunlop tires, are located at 1920
Thirteenth st. N. w. Being in
close contact as they are with
the automobile tire market, they
are able to keep a more careful
watch on the trend in tire prices
than the ordinary layman. It is
for this reason that they urge
the buying public to purchase
tires now.
At the present time the tire
market is low, and Dunlop tires,
"the lowest priced first grade
tires" are selling far below their
usual cost.
With the approach of summer
it is predicted that prices in the
tire market will rise. With mo-
toring spring tours in season and
summer vacations almost at hand
the demand for automobile tires
will far exceed the present sup
ply.
1t will thus be natural for. the
price of tires to rise in such pro-
portions as soon to be outside
the purchasing power Of many
persons otherwise well able to
afford them.

SAFETY SUREST
FOR AGED IN
ANNUITY
BY FRANK F. LOOMS

The $109,o0O,000,O 900 of life in
surance force on American
lives today is proof beyond doubt
that the people of the United
States are we'll sold on the ad.
visibility of carrying life insur-
ance protection, and while the
foremost thought in purchasing
life insurance has always been
for the protection of mans
family, it is being purchased more
and more as a provision for the
later years of life.
Safety Assured
Annuity surance combines alb
solute safety with satisfactory
incomes and relieves the pur'
chaser of financial worries for
the remainder of his or her life
time. The purchaser of an an
nuity does not have to worry over
the selection of investments as
the insurance company does that
for him.
A decline in security prices will
not worry him as his income Is
absolutely guaranteed for life,
and the .-1illionS of dollars Of as
sets and surplus behind this guar
anty assures him of his income
regardless of market fluctuations.
There are many forms OF annu-
fly contracts to meet all require
ments. A life annuity which is
the annuity in it's simplest form
is simply a contract with a life
insurance company whereby on
payment of a certain sum the
company guarantees a fixed in
come each year for as long as
the purchaser may live, the
amount Of the income pending, OF
course, on the age of the purchaser
at the time he buys the annuity.
Appeals to Elderly
This form of annuity has a
particular appeal to elderly peo-
pie. The money they have saved
for their old age cannot be in
vested in any other way to better
advantage. and it is the safest
and surest way of assuring them
a definite income for the remain
ing years of their life. To those
who wish to provide for the
future comfort of their parents,
a comparatively small sum will
guarantee them an income for
life.

LACK Of BUYING
WORST STOCK
HANDICAP
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, April 10 d.N.SJ.
Lack Of buying continues to
dominate the near term outlook
for the market. Stocks on Sat
urday showed there was still
some liquidation to be completed,
but this would be less of a factor
if reason developed to buy
stocks.
The only thing to do is to wait
and see where support appears
on this decline.
1t would be well, though, to
keep one eye on the bond mar
ket. Continued strength there
would have some influence on
stocks.
And watch commodities also,
especially wheat.
Auburn is one that is going to
be watched from now on, due to
the violence with which it can
rebound. 1t also has come into
the range where many more can
play with it.
Dupont's first quarter state
ment strengthens the belief that
the dividend will be reduced to
at least $3.50. There had been
some thought Of So.

DAIRY AWARDED
HIGH RATING

An honor never before accorded

Gently conferred upon the Chest
nut Farms Dairy by the District
of Columbia Health Department.
A general rating of 1920 per
cent was awarded. This average
is about as high as it is pos
sible to attain, considering the
many elements that. affect such
a grade.
While this rating is the high
est ever attained by any dairy
in Washington, Chestnut Farms
has enjoyed an unbroken leader

record alone should be convinc-

as to what dairy products to feed

heaviest snow storm of recent years
this morning to contribute Christmas

some poor child was the price of ad-

The Tivoli Theater drew the largest
attendance. Almost 1000 children,
with a large sprinkling of adults,
heaped gifts into the Santa Claus
baskets in the lobby.
The children, large and small,

their cheeks red from the cold and their
eyes sparkling with excitement. Shak-
ing the snow from their heavy wraps
they deposited new toys and gift cloth
ing on the rapidly growing heap in the
lobby
Thousands Kept Indoors.
The snow continued steadily through
out the morning, and kept thousands of
youngsters indoors who had planned to
attend the matinees. These telephoned
to the theaters asking permission to
