was general agreement that, at
that, the convention took about
the only course available.
Look to Democrats
What is now expected IS that
the Democrats will come along
10 days hence and go the Re-
publiCanS one better by adopting
straightout repeal plank, and
nominate candidates who are,
publicly and privately, in favor
of the plank on which they will
stand.
The wet-dry issue will be soft
pedalled by the Republican nomi-
neeS. Campaign orators will stress
the party'S concession to the vets
in wet territory, along the Allan
tic Seaboard and in the big cities,
while in the dry South and West
they will either ignore it com
pletely or explain that the plank
was necessary to hold the East
in line for the ticket.
The departing delegates saw
and marked that neither Mr..
Hoover nor Mr.. Curtis took any
cognizance of the party's changed
position on prohibition in their
first public comment concerning
the action Of the Chicago con-
Vention.
Mr.. Hoover simply observed in
his telegram of acceptance that
he would labor, as I have Ia
bored" to overcome the effects
of the economic storm (which
still surrounds U.S." He said:
"The measures which we have
adopted, and the policies which
you have outlined will, with
patience and courage, restore
confidence, and with it employ
ment, agriculture and business"
Mr.. Curtis merely congratu-
lated the convention upon its re-
nomination of Mr.. Hoover.
Both Mum On Liquor
Neither had anything to say
about prohibition, which was the
problem uppermost in all the del
egates' minds, and the issue
which has caused the greatest
cleavage in the Republican party
since the days of Bull MooseiSm.
But Mr.. Hoover sounded the
keynote of the Republican cam
paign, nevertheless. 1t is the
economic stress of the times and
how the Administration is meet
ing it. The Republicans are go
ing to the country on the record
of the past three yearS-Win, lose
or draw. The rank and file may
have some miSgivingS about it
all, but there it is, nevertheless.
The choice of Everett Sanders
as national chairman and cam
paign director, like other things
about the convention, was a COM
promise.
President Hoover wanted one
of his own Cabinet to conduct his
campaign for reelection.
He particularly wanted Post
master General Walter F. Brown,
who has been his chief political
adviser, to take up the arduouS
task. Brown demurred, so he
turned to Secretary of War Pat
Hurley, who has been at his
other elbow in things political.
But Hurley demurred, too; so
finally. unable to find "a new
Mark Hanna" the President
turned to Sanders.

RENTS HEARING
SET TODAY

The postponed meeting of the
Senate District Committee to con-
slider alleged high rental rates in
the capital and several routine
bills still on the committee calen-
dar, was to be held late today,
and indications were that a num-
ber of landlords and their rental
agents would seek hearing.
A meeting scheduled for last
Wednesday was postponed be-
cause of the slight illness of Sen
ator Arthur Capper, Kansas, who
recovered from an indigestion at
tack suffered in the Senate cloak
rooms.
Senator Capper said last night
the committee would accord the
owners of houses and apartments
here an opportunity to present
their side of the rental situation.
Though no resolution is pending
for a rental investigation, Chair
man Capper has twice criticised
in radio addresses the prevailing
scale of rents here as being too
high, and has asked the Depart
ment of Justice to conduct an in
quiry of its own.
Meanwhile, letters Of complaint
from tenants who think they are
paying too much rent continue
to reach the District Committee
from day to day and several hun
dred are now on file. They began
to arrive soon after Chairman
Capper made his radio address
about a month ago.

addresses at their camps that
they must under all circumstances
remain law-abiding.
He also urged the men to write
to their homes, calling on rela-
tives and friends to send them
food and supplies, and to enlist
new bonus marcherS to add to
those already on the scene. He
has organized a post office detail
to handle bonus camp mail.
A proposal for the organization
of a citizens committee to study
health and sanitation conditions
at the Anacostia camp of the
bonus expeditionary force with
view to suggesting a pro-
gram to municipal authorities
resulted today after a committee
of social workers conferred with
Health Officer William C. Fowler.
DR.. Fowler reiterated his opin-
ion that the camp constituted a
health menace and that few i'm
provementS had been made.
Paul L. Benjamin, secretary of
the Social Hygiene Society, who
led the committee, said he would
propose the formation of the citi-
zenS' group at meeting of his
organization later in the day.
Other organizations represented
at the conference included the
Monday Evening Club, the Dis
trict Medical Association and the
Assertion for the Prevention of
tuberculosis.
In an effort to curb the grow
ing sentiment of unrest among
the veterans, Commander.in-ch
Walter w. Waters made speeches
at the Anacostia camp and at
Third Street and Pennsylvania
Avenue N. w.
Mixed Feelings
In both speeches he pointed out
to the men that the best policy
was one of passive resistance"
and urged them to be the same
kind of Americans they were when
they followed the flag in the war
days of 1918.
Commander Waters was loudly
cheered at the Anacostia camp,
but there were marked signs of
dlSSenSion at the Pennsylvania
Avenue billet. 1t was in connec-
ton with the order of the Fire
Department that the upper floors
OF one of these billets be evacu-
ated that George Altman and Cap
tain Stott exchanged tempestuous
words which led to Alman'S re-
placement as billeting officer.
Another sign of unrest among
Che men was demonstrated in the
fact that practically all of those
who have been sent to Camp
Bartlett, at Twenty-third Street
and Alabama Avenue Southeast,
nave refused to remain. The
men, after being dispatched there
have repeatedly refused to stay
contending it was too remote.
They have returned to Anacostia
or other camps, with the result
mat there has been marked con-
geStion.
Discipline Invoked

ing unrest. Commander Waters
late last night depoSed one of
the leaders at the Camp Bartlett
center. Waters declared:
I'VE intend to remain here
peacefully and to have no dis
order. The majority of the
veterans are of that mind and
we expect to carry out that
policy. Where leaders or group
commanders take a different
attitude, we will do our best
to replace them. We are here

FIRM
HAS GROWTH

The Central Armature Works
began business in 1915 as a part
nership, composed of A. C. Balser
and H. j. Dorr. Their small plant
on C Street was operated solely
by the two men and was for the
purpose of winding armatures, re-
pairing motors, servicing automo'
bile ignition troubles, and wiring
for power installations.
Their business was an instan-
taneous success, and after few
short months it was moved to
larger quarters on Fifth Street,
where they remained until 1917.
When increasing business forced
them to move again, they elimi-
mated automobile troubles from
their roster and devoted their
work to electrical power installa-
tions, repairs and wiring.
The business was incorporated
under the laws of the District of
Columbia in 1919, and in 1927 an
other move was necessary. The
Central Armature Works, Inc,
then erected its own building at
625 D st. N. w.
The constant growth Of this
company has been due to electrical
power work not only in Washing
ton and its environs, but in. all
States Of the South Atlantic sea-
board.
Officers of the Central Arma-
ture Works, Inc, are: A. c. Bal
ser, president; H. j. Dorr, vice
president; G. w. Slater, treasurer,
and AID. Smith, secretary.

LANK BUSINESS
FORCES AHEAD

The Lank Woodwork Company,
Inc, was founded in 1923 by two
brothers, Alvin B. and r. Barrett
Lank. The offices and mill were
located on Florida Avenue, and it
was not until after a fire, started
by a pyromaniac, burned their
building in January, 1928, that
they moved to their present loca-
ton at 81 K st. S. E.
The company was an instan-
taneouS success and made rapid
progress in it's field. The volume
of business in 1927 became more
than the Lank brothers could
well handle and they were forced
by demand to buy out one of
their competitors, using his mill
as an auxiliary plant.
After the disastrous fire this
plant was enlarged sufficiently
to take care of the entire busi-
ness and it is now their only
plant. It is here they keep on
hand their large supplies of many
kinds of lumber to satisfy the
varying needs and tastes Of a
large clientele. They have re-
Gently purchased the property ad-
joining the mill with the inten-
ton of enlarging their present
quarters as soon as their increas
ing business demands it.
The Lank Woodwork Company,
Inc, furnishes lumber and mill
work to contractors and the
private home owners who wish
to do their own construction
work. Their shops also turn out
milled lumber Of any desired
shape and description.
Among the many things they
are prepared to do are cabinet
work, repair screens-especially
to be noted with the approach
of warm weather-the making of
screens, shutters, steps, porches
doors, three-ply panels and many
other things for the house and

And Thus a Story

Even Ch0ugn my SUCK anu 1

10Y it, it is necessary for us to
ride once in a while. 1t was by
this means we arrived at the
Emerson and Orme Buick sales
rooms at Seventeenth and M
Streets Northwest. 1t had been
our fortune to have had a mutual
friend telephone Mr.. r. Bruce
Emerson to announce our ar
rival.
It was a long time before we
went in to look at automobiles,
or even to talk about them. For
I knew thai Emerson and Or1ne
have established national reputa-
tions as being considered one of
the leading Buick retail organiza-
tions in the country.
Mado Quick Success
I wanted to know about the
business, and I asked Mr.. Emer-
son about it. He said:
"Mr. Orme and / first be-
came associated in the auto
mobile business in 1910. We
had a little temporary sales
room on X Street, while our
planned showrOOms were being
built at 1407 III st. N. w. At
that time we were selling the
AppersOn, the Regal, and the
Detroit Electric. We made
quite a success of it, and were
forced to move to larger
quarters in 1916, when we took
over the Buick agency.
Everyone thought we were
crazy to move, as they said,

were right next door at 1920

automobiles, and in 1927 we Occu-
pied our present location here

the business.

the Potomac, but that was in
1907.

IS PER CENT
Retail Pork Price Declines
Only u Per Cent for
Year.
BIZ United Press

By united Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
price Of hogs today is IS per cent
less than a year ago, according to
bureau of agricultural economics of
the department of agriculture. The
retail price of pork products, how
ever, is only % per cent less.
The total number of hogs at the
beginning of this year was 81 per
cent above the number a year be-
fore, the increase representing about
100000 head. About 100000 of
this increase was in the corn belt.
Hogs showed the largest percentage
of increase in numbers and suffered
the most drastic price decline of
any class of livestock. The aver
age price dropped from $1136 to
$6.14 head during 1881.
Increase Follows Decline
Last years increase in the num-
Der of hogs-which certainly had
much to do with the drop in price
followed three years of decline.
However, the danger that the 1888
report will show a total number in
excess of the 59,511 900 reported in
January is indicated in the bureaus
report of the breeding intentions"
of the industry.
When adjusted for the usual
spear between the breeding inten-
tions reported in September and the
actual narrowing reported the fol-
lowing June, the survey indicates
there will be about 2 per cent more
pigs narrowed this spring than last.
However, the consumption of pork
products has increased about S per
cent-probably as the result of the
% per cent drop in prices.
Many Factors Considered
At the beginning of the present
year, there we're about 559OO0,0OO
pounds of pork in warehouses, a 7
per cent increase over the year be-
fore.
The bureau was very careful not
to forecast the 1882 activities of the
hog market, but it did sum up ia
vorable and unfavorable factors
that will affect it.
"Unfavorable factors confronting
corn belt producers in the market
ing year 1928 are an expanding
hog production in the south and
west, increasing numbers of cattle
on farms, and continued large
slaughter of sheep and lambs" the
bureau reported. Favorable fac
tors are decreased hog production
in the corn belt and decreased
European hog production in 1882"
