IN TRADE is SUGGESTED
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Saner competition is the most needed
improvement in retail trade for 1888.
on the basis of an annual survey by a
trade agency among retail authorities
throughout the country.
For the last two years this yearly
study of difficulties has found the ques-
ton of more scientific merchandising to
be of chief concern to the retail in
dustry.
Two other problems mentioned for
the first time this year are among the
first four listed in importance, as re-
vealed by the study. These were the
need for quality standardization" and
analysis of consumer demands"
Expense reduction" and "manufac-
turer-reailer cooperation" were also
mentioned for the first time as major
problems Of retail trade.

MEDICAL FACILITIES
SEEN LACKING IN U. S.
Shortage of Physicians and Hos
pital Beds Is Cited in Com
mittee Report.

There is q shortage Of both ply
sicians and hospital beds in the United
States, according to the latest report of
the Committee on the Costs of Medical
Care, made public yesterday.
Despite the inadequacy Of medical
personnel and facilities, however, the
committee feels that it would be unwise
to attempt to improve conditions until
the people have first been educated to
demand good medical care ana until
satisfactory arrangements have been
made for paying for the cost Of such
care"
Increase In medical personnel and
facilities at this time, the report de-
clares, would result merely In ad-
ditional unemployment among medical
practitioners and an accumulation Of
unused equipment"
The report, which Is the twenty
second completed by the committee, has
been published by the University Of
Chicago Press under the title, THE
Fundamentals Of Good Medical Care 4"
1t was prepared by DR.. Roger I. Lee
and Lewis Webster Jones.
Estimating that approximately 1856
physicians are necessary to meet the
real needs Of a population group Of
100 900, the report points out that there
were only 126 physicians per 100000
population In 1929.
The estimated real need" for dem
fists is between 90 and 170 per 100000
according to the report, but there were
only So dentists per 100000 in 1928
Although 1t is estimated that the "real
need" for hospital beds Is 1,158 PEI
100 900, there were only 750 hospital
beds per 100000 In 1880, the report
states.

ARCHIVES BUILDING
BIDS TO Be OPENED
Whether Limestone or Gran
ite Is to Be Used for Exte-
rior Decision Friday.

Whether limestone or granite will be
used for the exterior of the monu-
mental Archives Building on the site
OF Center Market will be one of the
questions to be decided following the
opening of superstructure bids Friday
afternoon at the Treasury Department.
The Treasury has asked for alterna-
tive bids on both of these stones, and
decisions likely will be based somewhat
on the size of the offers which are sub
mitted by the contractors.
All the buildings in the Federal tri-
angle are of limestone with the excep-
t1cn OF the old structures such as the
District Of Columbia Building, which is
marble, and the former Southern Rail-
way Building at Thirteenth and E
streets. which is brick. These old
buildings likely will remain for years
yet, but are slated to be remodeled or
replaced eventually.
Different in Design.
The great Archives Building is to be
different from all the others in design,
and will stand at an important posi-
ton at the cross axis of the Mall, with
expansive parks on both the north and
the south of it. The building is of
monumental design, with columns on
all four sides.
After bids are opened Friday after
noon, it probably will be several days
before decisions are reached by the
Treasury Department Office OF Super
vising Architect as to the firm to re-
ceive the contract and as to whether
limestone or granite will be chosen.
Excavation Work Let.
The excavation contract was let in
August and power shoyels worked day

tor who is successful in landing the job

the storage and filing of valuable Gov
eminent docuN ents from all parts of

has not yet set up the organization nor

"There! now be good"

1t was getting on into Novem-
Der. Josephine Lambert had cany
things to think about. What a
difficult boy John was. Of course
he was different, essentially a gen
tleman, and she, in a measure, knew
why he was so reluctant to pay &C
tive court to her. But she knew
he was impressionable, romatic,
fervent, and she knew he was lost,
in the interminable maze surround
ing them. The whole bulking,
swelling body of the town was
choking her, it was literally chok-
ing her with money and disgust.
Two weeks before Osnan Snow,
ais Sknowvitzky, had paid, in
cash, a sum SO staggering she hard
ly believed her eyes. Quite cleverly
(she had acted unintentionally)
her reluctance to part with the old
Van Horn house had resulted in
many, many thousands of add
tional dollars. In another month,
however, she would have to move
out. Another month.
Two weeks of the last month
had gone by. She had not seen
John Breen. Judge Kelly arrang-
ed to inform her of his where
abouts The old Judge was as ex-
cited as a harpooner. Another
week went by. Already Josephine
was feeling the necessity of pack
ing. Of course it could be done
quickly, and many things could
simply be left to auctioneers.
"Mr. Breen has the Engineers
Club. He is going to the Public
Library" 1t was an important call,
arranged for her by Judge Kelly,
Josephine Lambert motored down
Park Avenue, it was surer. She
left her car at the Grand Central
and walked over to Fifth Avenue.
For the longest kind of a time she
waited. Would he leave by the
side door on Forty-Second Street.?
She swore under her breath, rath-
er competently, and she would
have liked to light a cigarette, as
many men did but the stupid city
had yet to advance a few more
stages before women could be en-
tirely at home on the streets.
1t was mid-afternoon. John had
lunched leisurely, and had consult
ed the files of the papers back in
1909. He used the Times Index,
and was rewarded by several refer
ences to Almon Strauss. He was
piecing together information for
his own use. Strauss was i'm
mensely wealthy, almost a COM
plete. mystery, as to fact, a nebul-
Gus theory, as to report. Since the
talk with Almon Strauss, John
came to realize more and more the
utter futility of merely planning.
No one can tell the city what to
do. 1t does things, and offers no
excuses.
AS John walked down from the
library, across the broad steps,
Josephine saw him at once. He
went southwark along the Avenue
strolling casually, swinging a cane,
hardly looking at any one. jose
phine crossed over and walked a
short distance behind him. She
