psign of The Star continues
to engage the interest and
u support Of local organiza-
tionS Of all kinds. For sustained
and growing interest 1t has broken
all records for past campaigns and
drives. And civic drives just now
seem to be the order of the day.
We read of the drive against
unnecessary noises, against tuber-
culosis, for better mass transpor-
tation service, for the improvement
of the Washington harbor and
water front, for a new flve-year
school-building program and now
for new law to outlaw the liquor
traffic in the District of Columbia.
Most of these matters are before
the various civic groups in one
form or another.
Another drive" Of prime impor-
tance is the approaching annual
roll call Of the American Red
Cross. This has become recognized
as such an established yearly duty
it has long since ceased to be des-
ignated as a drive. As a matter
of fact, all normal individuals and
organizations just naturally re-
spond without the aid of any Of
the old-time driving. The indica-
tions are that District citizens,
both individually and collectively,
will respond as usual when offered
the opportunity. The District Is
outstanding as a Red Cross minded
community.
At the District Building it is re-
ported that the committee named
by the Commissioners to study tax
alton requirements is hard at its
job and will shortly report its find-
ings. The Public Utilities Com
mission is still struggling with the
gas company problem and will be
unable to get into a number OF
acute transportation problems until
it gets through with that long
drawn-out proceeding. The Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board has
been having its troubles The lat
est is understood to be a sharp
difference in opinion between
board members as to whether the
screws OF restriction shall be put
down on all alike, whether on
the large establishments or only
the small thirst-quenching shops.
There has also been noted by the
civic leaders a disposition on the
part of the A. B. c. Board TO be
less liberal in the granting of
licenses in the future. This en-
courages many civic leaders in the
hope that their protests will have
more weight in the future.

Bureaus Work EXPLAINED.

Functions and purposes Of the Bet
ter Business Bureau of Washington
were discussed by Mrs. Sallie P.
Muchmore, merchandise manager, in
her weekly radio talk last Thursday.
Truth in advertising. she said in
effect, was the original purpose Of
the organization, but functions have
grown to the point at which the bu-
reau is now a buffer for the public
against tricksters, sharpers, and dis
honest merchants, and at the same
time protection for the legitimate
business man who might suffer as the
result of unethical and unfair prac-
tices of others in the same line of
business or commerce.

of the subcommittee on Operating
Regulations, branch of the Traffic
Committee.
Friday the Industrial Interests
Committee, headed by Robert B.
Swope, will meet for luncheon at the
Harrington Hotel at 2:30 pm. Plans
will be made to acquaint the public
with the many industries already in
Washington, and so little known by
those who regard the city as one with
out home industry, and to outline
program of making the city attractive
for other suitable industries to come
here.
1t is probable that a series of radio
broadcasts may be arranged to assist
in the publicizing of further induss
trial and commercial possibilities of
the National Capital. The same
method may be adopted to educate the
present residents to realize the in
dustrial development that already
exists, virtually unnoticed, here.

per cent of the structures date back to
the Civil War period.
No Unnecessary Building.
Contrary to an opinion widely held"
stated the research organization, 1.-The
period 1918 TO 1880 was not one marked
by wasteful and unnecessary school
building construction. Individual
cases of mismanagement can be cited
in this period or any other, but in the
Nation as a whole school building
construction Jagged behind actual
needs. The amount actually spent for
school buildings since 1918 is approx
mately a billion dollars less than it
would have been allowing an expendi-
ture of S400 for each pupil added to
the school system and for one-flftieth
Of each years enrolment.
I'm the principal cities of the United
States, building construction Jagged
behind that of other types from 1923
to 1880, the period of most liberal
school expenditures. The average an
nual expenditure per city began to de-
cline in 1925, long before the depres-
sion was felt"
