new DIRECTORY
FOR D. {. OUT

In keeping with the Bicenten-
NAL spirit, Boyd's new directory
of Washington. just released by
R. L. Polk and Company, con-
tains a full-page reproduction Of
the famous Houdon bust Of
George Washington and an ar
ticle dealing with the two-hun-
dredth year of Washington's
birth.
The classified section Of the
directory reveals that 727 differ
ent kinds OF enterprises, COM
mercial, industrial and profes-
sional, are located here. The
largest group is the grocers, 1,7OO
being listed.
AS usual, the new directory has
its quota of famous and humorus
names. Forty-tWo George Wash
ingtons, four Woodrow Wilson's,
three Daniel Websters and four
BENJAMIN Franklins are among
the first category, while in the
latter it is noted that Frank Hos
pital lives next door to Frank
Coffin, that the only Mother is a
man, and that five Of the six
IIadyS are men.

SUPERB RATING
GIVEN DAIRY

The last official rating by the
District of Columbia Health De-
partment gives Chestnut Farms
Dairy-in addition to the regular
100 per cent dairy plant rating
the highest general rating ever
given to any Washington dairy,
1920 per cent.
This average general rating is
about as high as it is humanity
possible to attain, considering the
many elements that affect such
rating. 1t includes the farms
from which the milk is procured,
the cattle, the bacteria count, the
butter-fat content, the dairy
plant, the pasteurization, the
bottling and the refrigation, the
safety and the quality Of the
milk. This average general rating
is the highest ever attained by
any Washington dairy, and it is
believed to be the highest ever
accorded any dairy in the coun-
try.

And Thus A Story

I had heard there was a bank
that specialized in loans. SO
my stick and I, went in search
Of 1t. We arrived at the Morris
Plan Bank of Washington, OF
1408 H St. N. w. ....
We intruded on Mr.. Bertran
Chesterman, the president. o.
at least my stick led the way
and I intruded. We found q
charming man smiling at us from
behind his desk. He said:
"Of course we loan money.
That is the principal reason
for our being, as it is for any
other bank. We have a savings
department too, of course. We
are fundamentally a bank for
the individual.
Simply, it is this: a man
or wOman-whO has no bank
ing collateral, borrOws money
from us on the endorsement OF
two Of his friends. and repayS
us in small amounts, monthly,
semi-mOnthly, or weekly, until
the note is repaid.
TAUGHT TO SAVE
I'm doing this he is taught
the habit Of saving, and many
Of our accounts become savings
accounts at the expiration OF
the loan period" ...
Then somehow-as things hap
pen-the talk switched to other
things. We talked Of this and
that and Europe. Mr.. Chester
man spoke. ..
"To me, the main reason for
going to Europe is the ocean;
I do enjoy the voyage more
than anything else-except
maybe the galleries"
I have never been abroad, and
indeed my travels here are toe
highly limited. I sat rather
enthralled by his talk Of the
galleries, the cathedralS, Of the
water. He explained. o.
"BOats, YOU see, and books
are my hobby" 20
And then we talked of books
of authors, and of writing in
general.
"I used to be a newspaper
man, you know. When i was a
yOungster, at 16, / reported the
Virginia legislature and the
Virginia constitutional cOnven-
ton.
VIEWED THE DRAMA
"Then / became a dramatic
critic for a Richmond paper
when was 22. But that
lasted only a year, for 1 had
a chance to be connected with
the banking department of the
State of Virginia, and I took
it,"
He smiled.
During the war was
drafted by the Government to
be a national bank examiner
in New York. II was after this
that / became affiliated with
the Morris Plan, coming to
Washington in 1925 in the posi-
tion of executive vice presi-
dent"
And the Morris Plan Bank of
Washington has under Mr..
Chesterman, achieved a notable
success, demonstrating what can
be accomplished by alert leader
ship. It is a fine example Of
what the Morris Plan can do for
a community. For Mr.. Chester
man knows a bank and banking.
After an altogether delightful
hour with him my. stick swung
jauntilly down the street. I was

While all window displays are

Telephone and Mail Services
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

penny. A letter is three times as much.
A limited-service phone call may be q
nickel or more, according to whether
one has to use pay station or whether
the call is within a specified distance
If a phone has unlimited service, 1t Is
restricted to definite area. 1t Is
cheaper to use the phone within this
section as it makes no difference in the
telephone bill whether one call month
is made or hundred or over. One has
to remember the prescribed area, how
ever Calls outside it count up.
One has to learn to make short
phone calls when the service is limited
or pay the extra overtime charges. This
is as essential from the point Of thrift
as keeping within stipulated number
of calls. 1t is so easy to let the mo-
ments glide by when converSing over
the phone with friend, but to go be-
yond five minutes is minor extrava-
gance A letter IS much cheaper. 1t is
a good idea to have a clock on the
phone stand or within sight and keep
one eye on it when phoning.
1t should be remembered that post
cards are not expected to be used for
intimate correspondence. Whatever is
on post card is for any one who Is SO
minded to read. The particular person

herself, but it is not infringing on an
others rights to do it. 1t is matter
of courtesy not peruSe the card. The
cards are a great convenience, and now
that the postage Is so increased on let
tiers, their use in place of notes Is re-
turning to favor-provided the CORE
spondence does not reveal private mat
tiers, secret or intimate information.
In the matter of time consumed In
phoning or writing, If one keeps track
of it, the balance will be in favor OF
writing. 1t takes little if any longer to
pen a postal for groceries or other
things to be delivered than it does Just
to ring up the store. To write short
note can take less time than to talk
over the phone to ones friend. BY
using the phone with unlimited service
for calls within the area, by restricting
the calls to the specified time, in limited
service. and by not making extra calls,
telephone bills can be kept down. BY
using postals for certain correspondence.
and by writing letters instead OF using
the phone for distance calls or long
conversations, one reduces living ex-
penSeS.
