MERCHANT
SEE BUSINESS
BOOMING

Washington retail merchants
were Sanguine today in their ex-
pressions regarding the present
trend of sales and future business
outlook for the National Capital.
Along all business fronts here
reports of increasing sales were
made while from the reports of the
Federal Reserve District of Rich.
mond came the announcement
retail department sales in Wash
ington for June were almost II
per cent greater than for the
same period last year.
Biggest July
One of the most hopeful out
looks for business was voiced by
C. B. Dulcan, jr. general mer-
chandising manager Of the Hecht
Company. He said:
Business is extremely good.
It is especially sound in view of
the fact we are hitting on all
eight. That is, each depart
ment in our store is getting its
share of the business. We find
people are looking for better
quality merchandise and are
willing to pay q little more
money for better materials.
"Our business for July will be
the largest in the history of the
store, which was established 80
years ago. July is usually a
difficult month, but we stocked
in advance for a heavy month.
According 20 the present out
look we will have q good fall
business.
"TO show what we think of
the future business for Wash.
1ngtOn, we have made large
commitments for future adver-
Using and we are spending
more money for the physical
improvement of our property.
PAYMENT BETTER
"Our expenditures in adver-
Using have been substantial and
sound. OF our total advertising
dollar by far the largest share
goes into newspaper advertising.
We find this much the best form
Of bringing our store to the
people"
Edwin Hahn, president of the
William Hahn Shoe Store, today
reported the concern did a greater
volume of business during the
month of July than for any month
in the history of the store. which
was founded So years ago. He
said:
"Sales for June and for the
entire six months this year were
greater in volume than for any
six months since 1881. So far
this month sales have been
greater than for any July in the
history Of the store. Part of
the increase in business is at
tributable to the physical i'm
prOvementS we have made at
the store at Fourteenth and G
Streets Northwest.
PLAN NEW STORE
"Our confidence in the future
commercial sOundneSS of Wash
ingtOn is practically demonStrat-
ed by the fact we let contracts
last week for rebuilding our
women's store at 1907 F St. N. w.
We are going to erect what we
consider one of the finest exclu-
Sive shoe stores in the country.
Erection of the remOdeIed
structure will not interfere with
business"

ARTICLE THIRTEEN
In the spring of 1888 the Stain expected that
the peasants might revolt at any time The collective farm
ing system was SHAMELESS and the ruling dictatorship
afraid that the factory workers would be left completely
without food
Orders issued to every industrial plant the Soviet
Union for all workers to put certain amount of their
time in planting their gardens and raising their
products decided at the Kharkov tractor plant
that the 500 foreigners employed there should organize their
gardening collective.
Now the overwhelming majority of foreign colony
was composed of Communists The experiment in actual
Communism, by Communists under a Communist govern
ment provided a memorable lesson.
We started off with general meeting and elected COM
mttees to take charge of the organization of the gardening
collective In the beginning all the foreigners such ardent
internatonas in their respective homeands, in
the venture the Americans the Germans and the Czecho
slovaks.

BASS FISHING
To SUFFER

Bass fishing in Northern Vir
ginia will suffer at the hands OF
the new target range proposed fo1
the Fort Belvoir military reserva
tion.
The two favorite grounds, Ac
cotink Greek and the waters near
Pohick, will be closed to seekers
of the game fish because of the
danger of ricocheting bullets.
These two streams for a number
of years have been the favorite
places for anglers from Northern
Virginia, Washington and Mary
land.
Shooting on the range will be
in progress from early spring until
late fall, and Accotink Creek will
be practically closed to navigation
from early morning until late in
the day, except Sundays.
Under a plan being worked out
by military authorities, CONNER.
cial fishermen will be allowed to
use a tract Of land near Belvoil
dock for boat landings.

CHANCE
FACES REFS

George Refs, the gentleman
pilot Of FL Lagarto, queen of Amer.
lean limited motor boat racing
craft, has an opportunity to es-
tablish a new Gold Cup class
record with the veteran Lizard
this year. With two consecutive
victories to his credit during the
1888 and 1884 seasons, Refs has
only to push the string to three
straight triumps here next July
to create new mark in Gold Cup
circles.
No Gold Cup craft ever won
more than two consecutive races
since the first race for the famous
trophy was held on the Hudson
River in New York back in 1904.
And once having held and lost the
title, no boat ever has been able
to regain the class championship.
Four Gold Cup racers, including
Ell Lagarto, have knocked the two
championships in row since the
class power limit was placed at
625 cubic inches in 1922. Caleb
Bragg's Baby Bootlegger triumphed
both in 1924 and 1925; George
Townsend won with Greenwich
Folly in '26 and '27, and Vic
Kliesrath and the late Richard
F. Hoyt drove HotSy Totsy to vic
tory in 80 and 81.

battling question mark.
Two men will dominate the
mems medley relay, and each will
swim in different legs. William
Marmion should give the Y. M.
c. A. a decided edge in the open
ing backstroke squirt, with Dyer
Ghormley striving to pick this up
for G.. w. U. and then putting
his team ahead in the breast
stroke leg before giving way to
Beverly Carter in the final free
style sprint. On paper G. w. U.
figures to have slight edge, but
the "Y" outfit is tough.
Sees New Record
"A. Earl Weeks, the city'S aquatic
master Of ceremony, is resigned
to seeing a new women'S medley
record but doesn't expect other
marks to be greatly endangered.
There is likelihood that George
Croft, defending so and 100 yard
free stroke champion. may not
swim and if he doesn't those two
events are as wide open as the
prairies.
Robert Jordan, Central ace, will
have to meet the challenge OF
Beverly Carter, of G.. w. u, in the
220-yard free style, while two "Y"
mermen, John Orme and William
Marmion will fight it out in the
15O-yard backStrOke.
Dyer Ghormley, Colonial breast
stroke flash, has only one threat
in that event and that is Morris
Goldberg, of Central.
John Broaddus, Shoreham, will
be out to usurp Bob Knights
fancy diving throne. Broaddus
was injured just before last years
meet and could not compete, but
he is in great trim now.
The mems 200-yard relay con-
tributes heavily toward making
the teams honors uncertain. It's
anybody's guess.
Rita Augusterfer will have to
best Ann Bono in the 5O-yard free
style, and will also have to keep an
eye on Louisa Roberts, if she de-
cides to enter. Rita's chief men
ace in the 100-yard free style is
Jean Rawls, but the 220-yard is
hers with only slight struggle.
Helen Richard dson, District
breastStroke record holder, looms
as the winner in that event, out
speeding Leonora Taube. Louisa
Roberts has a wide edge in the
backstroke, and Marie Duvall has
little to fear in the fancy diving.
AS to the team championship,
Central, though not likely to win
more than one individual first
place, is expected to pick up
enough points for second, third
and fourth places to win. How
ever, G. w. U. and Y. M. c. A.
have far from conceded the title.
