|. BY KINGS PALACE
Department Store Here
Since 1859 Will Pass
Out of Existence.

Founded in 1859, Kings Palace de-
partment store announced today that
its stock is to be sold out and an enter
prise which has become an institution
in Washington will pass out of ex-
istence.
The business was founded by Henry
King, a native OF Heidelberg. Germany.
and was devoted originally to sale Of
millinery. Mrs. Caroline King, wife
of the founder, was well known as a
millinery artist and under her guid-
ance that department of the business
became outstanding.
Eventually. the business passed TO
the five sons of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
King and in more recent years II has
been operated by three grandsons.
Mortimer, Sylvan and Phillip, jr.
Others of the family have interests in
the business. Under their manage
ment the store has served to virtually
all family merchandise needs.
In making the announcement to-
day, officials of the concern said:
The reason behind our decision Is
simply that several of US have wanted
to retire for some time and increased
property values on Seventh street
make it possible for US to do so at
this time without suffering too great
loss"
Phillip King, jr., declined to say at
made of the property or what business
activities are to be undertaken by the
younger members of the King family.
In tracing the history of the old
Washington store, Sylvan King recalls
that James Buchanan was President
when the business was founded on
Pennsylvania avenue. During its first
10 years the store served the families
of prominent Government officials Of
the Buchanan, Lincoln, johnson and
Grant administrations and personal
visits by President and Mrs Grant are
recorded in the annals of the com.
pany.
In the Summer of 1914 the present
Kings Palace Building Of white tile
was erected on Seventh street, with
additions made in subsequent years.
In 1884 the store observed It's dis-
mond jubilee year.
Throughout all these years of oper-
alton the members Of the King FAM
lily, who have run the business, have
shared their time with public respon-
sibilities. several Of them contribut-
| ing much to the civic and business
organizations of the community.

The field was unlighted, except for q

However, We TAXED out, starting the
run with an auto in the lead. Outside
the cabin windows there was nothing
but swirling mist. The pilot was
warned of soft spots in the runway,
but finally gave the four engines full
throttle and We lurched forward. The
wheels bumped ominously. the wings
wobbled, and We almost had reached
the end of the field when. with final
iurch. the plane bounded into the
mist.
The die was cast. Unable to re-
turn. the pilot pulled her up through
the fog into clear skies and out over
hundreds of square miles Of the bengal
juhgles. A labyrinth of waterways
ard swamps, huge water trees and
tangled iron vines was beneath us;
with no landing place for 400 miles,
until Akyab. At this writing the sun

But the Government has con-
tributed by direct action as well.
When we laid the ghost of the old
gold parity of the dollar, when We
purchased gold and purchased
silver too. you in the mountains

tell you. and you will agree,
that We are around the corner.
Private employment is picking up.
That means that Government ex-
penditures for work for the unem-
ployed are coming down. That
means that the total of Govern
ment expenditures will decline
Turning the corner also means that
Government income from existing
taxes, without new taxes. is going
up. I repeat to you what I said
in Pittsburgh a week and a half
ago. that decrease in expenditures
and increase in income means
within q year or two a balanced
budget and the beginning of reduc-
ton in the national debt.
When Republican leaders speak
out here they proclaim their SYM
pathy with all these Western
projects and promise you more and
more Of them. When they speak
to audiences in the East they pro-
claim that they are going to cut
Government expenditures to the
bone. There was an old Roman
god named Janus. He faced both
ways. He had two mouths. I need
not explain that parable any
further.
Are you willing to turn America
over to those who in past years shut
their eyes to the problems of this
Nation? This administration has
shown the way because it had the
will to do.
We have sought and found prac-
tical answers to the problems Of
industry, agriculture and mining.
We have clung to no outworn
method as an excuse for failure
to act. We have had faith not in
panaceas. but in the courage and
resourcefulneSs of men and women
to meet their problems themselves
If given a chance, an opportunity
that is the right of every American.
We have used the resources Of Gov
eminent to give that chance, not
to a favored few, but to all the
people of this great Nation with
all their richly diversified interests.
We are made firm by the same
spirit that made Columbus surge
on-by the same spirit that made
the ancestors of you who dwell in
these mountains and on those
plains win through the untrailed
wilderness, across turbulent rivers
and unknown plains and deserts,
over unscaled heights, to claim, to
develop and hold a new and great
empire for America.
We have shown our determine
ton in the past by action. You
can trust us to prove that deter
mination in the future by more
action, sound action. action that is
saving, and will continue to save,
the constitutional representative
form of Government in which We
rejoice.

COMEDY DRAMA OPENS TONIGHT
 AT COLISEUM
Ben Lyon, Esther Ralston, Hobart Bosworth, Starred
 in Together We Live"

together We Live,' comedy drama, opens tonight at the Coli scum.
 Featuring such well-known play CTS as Esther Ralston, Sheila Man nors. Hobart Bosworth, Vera Engels, Charles Sabin, William Bakewell and Charles Gillingwater, the film presents an experienced cast.
 Ben Lyon, who has been acting on either stage or screen since 1918. is importantly featured as a modern young man who thinks his own ideas are powerful and intelli- gent enough to change the con- ventions of the world.
 The story deals with the straight- ening out of the morals and con yentions of the present young gen. eration which half expects the world to be handed to it on a silver platter. Realization comes in a novel and surprising climax that "the survival of the fittest" is still a strong sociological code.
