often delayed, because even the best
maps do not show all the eccentricities
Of the highway nomenclature in the
outskirts.
It seems incongruous that such q
maze would have developed right be-
side what experts say is the best
planned city In the country. It was
brought about because there was no
central control over land developers
until recently. Every realtor named
and numbered roads and houses he
built as he pleased-often applying
his own or friends names to his new
streets. Instead OF naming thorough
fares after those Of Washington with
which they were nearest in line, they
often gave them pretty" names, such
as Westwood, Overlook, Glenbrook,
Glendale, etc. They also designated
short, narrow streets as ''parkways,"
"boulevards" or avenues" The idea
was to please their prospective buyers
and give them flattering addresses. to
the utter disregard Of orderliness, sys-
TEN and simplicity.
THIS confusing condition once had
parallel In the District Of Colum-
bda. The original LEnfant plan did
not extend north Of Florida avenue,
which was then called Boundary
street, and was the Warrington city
line As the Capital City outgrew her
original limits, In the years following
the Civil War, several subdivisions
were developed on the hills Just north
Of Florida avenue. The realtors dis

- 1AIY THOUSAND people feSlo-
- ing in the Washington suburbs
will be living on new streets
- within . year or two. even
though they and their houses remain
at the same spots. This will be brought
about because the civic leaders Of the
Maryland suburbs are now working
out an all-inclusive street-name and
house number plan, intended to end
the duplication and confusion now
existing in the numerous towns just
across the District line.
All the nearby communities in both
Prince Georges and Montgomery Coun-
ties are cooperating in an effort to
systematic and standardize street no.
menclature and house numbers OF the
whole Washington-Maryla metro
politan area. They plan to apply the
District of Columbia system to the
entire area. Most of the present
streets will be renamed to bring them
into conformity.
They are following the example set
by the citizens Of Arlington County,
Va, who two years ago abolished all
their meaningless street names and
adopted the Washington plan, except
that, on account of the physical sepa-
ration caused by the Potomac, they
reversed the system in giving east
west streets numbers and north-south
thoroughfares letters. Following the
current trend toward system and Or
derliness, Alexandria Is studying ways
to facilitate the locating Of house
numbers in her chaos of named streets.
THE demand for the proposed sys-
temattzing has been brewing for
years. Far-sighted citizens of the ad-
jacent Maryland towns have long felt
that something should be done to end
the intolerable confusion. The Post

 So this conference offers a great chance for the people of the New World to perfect their de- lenses.
 That is not primarily a mili- tary problem. It calls for little in the way of conferences between military and naval authorities. If the statesmen can find ways to keep the channels of New World trade clear, if they can formulate some program by which the New World nations can, through the interchange of goods, services and ideas, main- tain and improve their economic levels and move forward toward a freer and richer life - then there will be much less reason to be afraid of developments in Europe.
 The dictator states may CO., cree a single nation; they cannot coerce half the world. In the Am ericas opportunity still exists. If the Americas stand together, they can make of their half of the world thriving, unregiment ed trade area which totalitarian economics cannot affect. And if that is done, the New World way of life is saved.
 This conference is thus an op- portunity and a challenge. If the statesmen meet It, the steady

AMERICAS TOGETHER MAY SAVE A WAY OF LIFE

It is becoming more and more obvious that the Pan American Conference which opened ir Peru this month presents New World democracy with a great opportunity,
 Events in th2 Old World are giving this meeting an import ance which no previous Pan American Conference has had. In the past, these conferences have been productive chiefly of high sounding talk; this year, the logic of events is forcing the states men to act.
 While it is true that democracy as We understand it is not very robust growth below the equator, 1t is also true that something fundamental to the New World way of life is bsing threatened from Europe The Latin nations fought to free themselves of over seas tyranny, just as the people of the United States did; and al- though many of them have had dictators of their own for many years, there is a world of differ ence between their kind of dic- tatorship and the kind now dom- 5nant in Europe.
 The European Relationships are not simply one-man tyrannieS. They call for a regimentation of social and economic life such as no New World tyrant ever dream ed of. They represent the growth in human society of a philosophy which would effect all interna- tional relations, all trade re- lations, all cultural relations. They stand for a closing of op- portunity and a fixing of social classes.

THIS WEEKS ADVERTISEMENT
(CordoVa Tirnes)

(Cordova Times) i The reason it pays to buy from a store or other firm which ad- vertises is so obvious that mere statement of it must of necessity sound repititious.
 When a mercantile or profes- sional establishment pays out money week after week to broad cast it's message to the world through the columns of a news paper, it is investing in good will as well as inviting customers to come and get it.
 When an advertiser invests some of his money in good will. he makes certain that he gets his moneys worth by striving to the utmost to give his customers more than they expect in sav- ings, service and satisfaction.
 If you have ever come out at the short end of an unsatisfac- tory deal-and who hasn't-it's almost a sure bet you were doing business with a non advertiser. The class of businessmen who are intent solely upon quick profit never invest, an advertise ing dollar in good will. That method of building business sue cess is too slow for them. In time however, they may discover that ths route they selected is the hardest one.
 When you buy from the firms whose advertisements appear in this edition of the Times you are assured of ths most for your mon ey in value and quality. This has been connoted "a buyers year" and it certainly is-for the wise shopper who buys from establish | ments that demonstrate their con fidence in the valus of good will [ by advertising their wares and their services.

She recommends the use of soap
on the stain or pressing with hot
iron to bring out part of the tannin
that is in fruit juices, tea, and cof-

apply warm glycerine or alcohol to-
dissolve the remaining tannin.
The next step is to bleach the
stained fabric in a solution made by
dissolving two or three teaspoonfuls
of sodium perborate in cup of wa
ter. Results should not be expected
too quickly because this bleach acts
slowly, but the cloth will not be
damaged if it remains in the bleach
for 10 or IL hours. After bleaching,
the cloth should be washed to re-
move all chemicals.
Stains from mildew often can be
removed by soaking the fabric in
sour milk over night. Another good
cleaner for this stain is lemon juice,
salt, and sunshine The stain must
be kept moist with lemon juice. II
