BUYERS Market

@TSINESS in Washington notably the retail bust
ID ness, which is the city's economic handspring
aside from the Government, shows continued and
steady gains because business men here can and do
nlan on the stability which is characteristic of the
community.
Washington merchants know just where the city is
headed and with their usual perspcacy they are able
to envsion the growing needs OF their customers and
arrange to meet those needs.
This is especially true right now when the seasonal
cycle changes over into the summer months.
With the change comes a change IN necessities and
desired luxuries, change in demanded goods which
our local establishments well and adequately pre-
pared to meet.
UNIQUE among the cities of the United States and
in fact, of the world, Washington is consistently
buyers market.
The almost total absence of economic peaks and
depths in the community keeps prices on steady level
Merchants aren't forced to 60 into markets and pay
exorbant prices to satisfy sudden demands for great
volume
They don't find themselves with cluttered shelves
because economic conditions keep their goods from
moving.
They maintain an even tenor Of business because the
tenor of the lives of their customers is even.
Right now the stores and shops of the city are at
their most attractive stage
Bright summer goods and equipment are on display.
Colorful and attractive designs lure the eye and
tempt the buyer with promise of true value.
1t isn't any wonder that not only the residents of
the city but the steady flow of visitors and tourists
as we'll are patronizng the business establishments.
Washington is proud of its stores and shops and Of
the men and women who operate them
These establishments through the years have built
reputation for fair dealing not only with their regular
patrons but with the visitor who is here for day
two only
That reputation is substantial and it is of the
sound reasons why Washingtonians buy with confidence

MODERN SHIPS


Although they are built almost
entirely Of steel, there is plenty
Of romance left in the makeup Of
giant passenger vessels.
The average passenger, how
ever, takes the swimming pools,
magnificent salons, lighthouses and
shops for granted. He believes
that modern sailors live a life of
ease, yet they are just as busy, if
not more so, than those who sailed
the old windjammers.
Many trades and crafts are rep
resented among the crews Of ships
like the Queen Mary. This giant
liner has q sailmaker and lamp
trimmer Gust like those aboard
the windjammers) in addition to
electricians, joiners, boilermakers
and stewards.
Now that his foreSails and top
gallants have been lowered forever
in the face Of the irresistible wind
of progress, the sailmaker keeps
busy fashioning canvas covers for
lifeboats, ventilators and matches.
When he isn't making these, he
is looking after such supplies as
rope, paint, wire and canvas. Oc.
casionally, he spices the "eye" OF

QUANDARY

There is one secretary on the
Hill, name omitted by the con.
tributor, who is faced with q very
sad problem. The brother Of her
boss wanted to place q bet on the
races. She offered to take care
Of the matter.
Pressing business kept her from
sending it to the track. The wager,
an if, reverse parlay and such, hit.
The profits should have been in
the neighborhood of $3.50. What
to do? Oh what to do?
ON THE UPSWING
Bands are not supposed to have
a sense of humor. It Is almost
with a prayer that audiences hope
they have q sense Of rhythm and
tone.
It was a pleasant surprise then
when the band with the Board Of
Trade appeared outside the Dis
trict Building and began to toot
and foot. A few wiseacreS leaned
out a window and tossed them
pennies. Immediately the band
leader swung his baton and the
strains of Pennies From Heaven"
floated upward.

leader Of the opposition, usually

manner or method Of the en-

It is possible that Republican
strategists believe the Democrats
will muddle into the ditch If they
are left alone. There is also rea-
son to believe that certain Repub-
lican leaders think it would be a
mistake, for the present, to fly in
the face Of the overwhelming
Roosevelt majority, and that they
are turning to the old "if you can't
lick 'eln, join 'em" principle. That
is, they are ready to join the
country in constructive effort, but
first they are going to make it
clear that they are not mere OBJ
structionistS.

q hawser.
The ships carpenter really de-
serves the title Of shipwright be-
cause he must serve q long ap-
premiership in the shipyards, and
he must be an expert worker in
metal as well as in wood. Any
major repairs at sea are handled
by the ships carpenter. He also
transfers the water ballast and
water supply from tank to tank in
order to keep the ship trimmed, I"
and he pumps in water ballast to
replace the oil as it is consumed.
The lamp trimmer, whose job 1t
was to keep wicks trimmed and
the lamps filled with oil on wind
TANNERS, performs the same tasks
today, since all ships are required
by navigation regulations to carry
q set of oil navigating lamps to
supplement the electric ones.
These must be inspected and
tested by the lamp trimmer daily.
Side lights, mast headlights and
other strategic lights are all Kept
in readiness to be hoisted into
position should the electric lights
fail. However, the triple sets OF
generators and duplicate wiring
installation on most modern trans
atlantic ships make that posi-
bility extremely remote.

Where Everybody Wins

president ROOSEVELT'S appointment of an
L emergency board to study-and SETTLE-the
disputes between labor and capital Eastern rail-
roads has benefited both parties to the dispute and the
PUBLIC.
Some weeks ago the roads were threatened with
tie-up
What this would have meant to all concerned can
be imagined but scarcely described.
The paralysis of even part of the transportation
system would have meant hardship or DISASTER to
millions of people.
It would have meant also, heavy loss to the roads
and acute suffering to their employees.
But instead of this dismal picture:
Train service not interrupted for moment
The public was not inconvenienced-
The railroad companies and their stockholders were
not subjected to heavy loss
And even more important thousands of railroad en-
poyes and their families did not lose single dollar in
wages.
This is the sensible way, the AMERICAN way, to
deal with disputes in industry.
The Presidents emergency board held conferences
for three weeks, listened patiently to both sides and
reached settlement satisfactory to both.
Millions of dollars have been saved possible disorders
have been averted, and all three partes-employers
employees and public-have profited.
The result has been "eye-opener to this country
It has shown that with sincere governmental COOP
eration plus good will between capital and labor in
dustria difficulties CAN be ironed out without costly
struggles in which EVERYBODY loses.
1t was high time that America learned that lesson
"A house united will stand house divided against
itself will surely fall"

of dominant opposition policy to-
day. Usually, strong winds Of doc
trine roar through the marble
halls of craftsmanship in Wash
ington, but not now. Rather there
are, the low, furtive whispers OF
policy, Of expediency, Of strategy.
And there are other Grant, guSty
winds playing around Congress.
ENCOURAGING SIGNS
Witness Senator Borah'S sudden
denunciation Of FasciSm and his
warning of the danger of a Fascist
coup in this country, apropos OF
nothing in particular. And the
Congressional reaction to AmbaS-
sador Dodd's statement that an
unnamed "billionaire" was about
to impose Fascism on America.
Senator Borah joined the attack
on the ambassadors "uncalled
for" remarks. Naturally, we're jit-
terry when we lose the trail in the
deep woods.
But that isn't altogether the pic
ture get from my Washington
friends. One Of them, a former
CONGRESSMAN, now a lawyer in
washington, said to me a few days
ago:
81 am a Democrat and, on the
whole, strongly in sympathy
with the President, but i think
that this underground party re-
(. volt is q good thing. You may
be sure that men like O'MahOney
and Hatch and McCarrans who
have been baking on the court
plan and other issues, know
pretty well the trend Of opinion
back home, and in spite Of all OF
our fears regarding the increase
Of Executive power, we are see
ing representative government
ct work.
ITO me, the fact that there
are signs of party revolt is evil
dence that we never viii drift or
be driven into any extremist
form Of government. The dis
heartening thing would be for
any President, Republican or
Democrat, to get vast enhance
ment Of power and get away
with it without effective chal-
lenge."

former Congressman Charles Q.
West, and his son, James RooSe-
velt. When the President returned
from his fishing trip, they were as
busy and important as a couple Of
Ellis Island interpreters when a
polyglot ship comes in. It IS clear,
and this is reporting and not edi-
torializing, that sharp, clarified
policies are lacking on labor, on
fiscal matters, on taxation, on re-
lief and even on the resounding
Supreme Court issue, in which
there is more than a hint of pos
Sible compromise.
Such doubt and confusion un-
avoidably passes the buck to the
President. In the wings, Senators
and Representatives wait for their
cue lines. The Republicans find
it expedient not to exercise the old
minority prerogative Of kicking,
believing, squawking and hair
pulling. The Republican National
Committee has issued no state:

Woman"-not theoretically, any
how. She may not be beautiful,
docile, or even q skilled cook ana
housekeeper. And those are the
three primary qualific ations which
nearly every man names first, IN
describing the Perfect Wife. Which
shows how few brain-cells he uses
in the most vital decision OF his
life.
AS every woman knows, most
beauty is bought and paid for, in
these days; and almost any little
moron can learn % cook, with or
without a caA.-opener. Besides,
any man can feed his stomach
at a restaurant; but what he
wants when he marrieS is a
woman who wi" feed his heart
and his mind and fill his life.
There is an ideal wife some
where for every normal man;
but you can't recognize her by
the dimple in her chin, the blond
ness of her hair, or her ability
to stir up a perfect omelette. The
vital question is not do you like
to dance with her, but is she the
girl to whom you want to go with
your worries, your problems, and
your confessions? Is hers the
shoulder you long to rest your
head on when 1t aches and you
are feeling sorry for yourself.
Is she the one who holsters up

dence, and cures you Of your In

say that the extraordinary powers
Of the President were uSurped, or
that they were handed to him by
Congress. Whichever it was, 1t
is revealed that such a virtually
one-party Congress needs more of
the bull.whip than one with q
fairly equal party division. With
Republicans to fight, Democrats
are Self-starting battlerS.
But party recreance is serious
business for politicians, and no
matter what the undertow Of re-
volt, there must be q surface
aspect of unity. And that, some
times, requires not only q bull
whip but a ball and chain.
The late Joseph Pulitzer de-
vised a system Of checks and bal
ances for the management OF his
newspaper, and he set it UP, to
continue after his death. There
were executives of somewhat
evenly divided authority in the
same department. His idea was
that they would impose a whole
some restraint on each other, and
that this arrangement would keep
any one man or group from be-
coming too indispensable, or run.

business men often use this au.
tonomous check in one way or
another.
MANY DISSENTERS
And, of course, that was the
plan and tradition Of our two.
party form Of government, and
our tripartite system Of three
ruling branches. It is inevitable,
in a country as big, as econorn-
ically and regionally diverse as
ours, that a four-to-one majority
must include a lot of dissenters,
piping down perhaps for reasons
Of political expediency, but, never
theless, constituting a challenging
and possibly disruptive force.
The late Theodore Roosevelt,
having a healthy and vigorous OPP
position, and being an aStute and
powerful leader, kept control OF

inner dissent to the ever-preSent
enemy. In this case, as with other
presidents who have exercised
strong control over Congress, this
required no special or elaborate
techniques. Methods of attaining
party solidarity and control had
behind them a century Of slow
growth and usage. It was q mat
ter Of more or less automatic
functioning.
But here Is something new. The
Democratic majority, as it now ex-
lists in Congress, is one Of the most
amazing political amalgams in
history. It takes more manage
ment, more operation and over
head, tighter grip on the con-
trolls than would be needed for
any body Of self-starting, self-pro-
PEELED lawmakers. That means
that the presidential liaison with
Congress Is a functionary Of un'
precedented Importance.

5OYears of the Constitution

Philadelphia just $50 years ago May IT, the stormy
Constitutional convention was celebrating at indie
pendence Hall to form the priceless document that has
guided the nation from its BIRTH
1t was not easy to secure agreement among the 10
States on the many controversial issues that cropped
up And the Constitution necessarily was created out
of compromise.
In that spirit of patriotic hepfulness and confidence
in the wisdom Of the founding fathers so many times
since borne out the United States has progressed far
No dictatorial programs no alien doctrines have
found sanction under the Constitution Nor will they-f
the American people have their way.
That is why every American turns with deep interest
to the fourmonhs celebration just launched in Pha-
delpha marking the sesqucentennial anniversary of
the Constitution. The nations guiding star for $50
years still shines bright and untarnished in the troubled
heavens where many international meteors have
flashed of recent years-and died.

SAFETY

At a recent safety conference in
q nearby State the governor was
q featured speaker. His arrival
was timed and timed beautifully.
He left the State Capitol and
travelled by automobile to the con-
ference city a distance Of some
100 miles.
On his arrival he was asked
what time he had left. Without
hesitation he gave the hour.
Some one with fondness for
mathematics and sensing the
irony of the situation figured out
that the car which brought the
governor to speak on safety trav.
eled at an average Of so miles an
hour the whole way. Taking into
consideration the usual road haz-
ards such as turns and the low
speed limits enforced in small
towns, it was estimated his speed
must have been at least go or IS
on the straight stretches.
