GOOD
IN CAPITAL

July is generally considered the
poorest business month of the
year in Washington, but Manag-
ing Director John K. AlthauS, of
the Washington Retail Credit
Bureau, stated yesterday that a
preliminary survey of merchandise
ing here during the first two weeks
OF this month indicates business
will maintain the upward trend
noticeable so far this year.
Figures at the end of the usually
dull month, he believes, will be
probably 10 per cent better than
those reported for July last year.
It is customary for the seasonal
uptrend in retail business to get
under way here during August.
With an increase over every
month of 1885 already noted and
the current months business hav-
ing maintained this expansion
even during the dull period, fall
trade should get off to a better
start than last year.
Reports to the Retail Credit Blu
Feau indicate a portion of the re-
Gently paid bonus money is being
used to cancel old debts. This is
also regarded as an encouraging
business sign as is the fact that
collections here continue good,
even better than in last July.
While it is admitted that the
present hot spell has had a re-
Straining effect upon retail trade,
it is not believed that drought con-
ditionS, so disastrous in the Mid
die West, and even prevalent in
nearby areas, will have any serious
effect upon buying here.

The expeditions destination, which

of the eclipse scheduled to be seen over
Asia and Europe from the Mediter-

forecast for clear weather June 10 in
the Kustanai area.
Besides attempting direct color pho

will make photographs with special

present, the District has SAT beds

ton, 200 in Gallinger Hospital and
120 in the children's wing, now prac-
tically completed.
When the children's wing at Glenn

will be available, but if the appropria-
ton item for the municipal hospital
is not restored in the budget, and
it is closed, We will lose 227 beds
there. more than we gain," Mrs. Grant
SAEAoAAAO0.
IF the municipal tuberculosis hos
pital is closed, then the District will
have only 500 beds instead of the SAT
we have now. This will be increased
to 900 when the adult wing at Glenn
Dale is completed, about the first Of
next year, but the facilities here will
still be Is per cent below minimum re-

Moreover, conditions are over
crowded both at Gallinger and the

are relatively small, but that is not an
indication of the urgency of the need.
They are kept small by listing only the
most urgent cases. Scores could be

The new placements will be only

so. There are now 357 receptacles in
