Construction Par|ey
On Thursday
Closer Coordination Of
Work Of Trade Groups
Will Be Sought

Closer coordination Of the efforts
Of trade associations and business
groups in the field Of housing and
construction will be sought by a
national construction conference TO
be held here Thursday and Friday
by the United States Chamber Of
Commerce.
In setting forth the purposes of
the conference. arranged at the re-
quest of leading trade associations
in the construction field, John w.
OLeary, chairman of the chamber S
Executive Committee, said:
Its purpose is to encourage a
maximum of needed private build
ing in the interest of business and
the community. It will give the
opportunity for surveying means of
bringing about join effort in attain
ing these ends.
Problems for Local Groups.
I'm the field of building and con-
struction there are important prob
lens which best can be attacked by
all interests concerned. The con-
struction industry itself, organized
as it is in strong trade associations,
can handle alone many of the diff
culties faced, but other problems
must have the consideration also
of local groups. The Chamber of
Commerce, having within its mem
bership bothsthe industrial and local
business groups, is an agency of CO.
ordination"
One of the questions to come up
will be that of city traffic and how to
plan for getting workers to and from
their jobs with the greatest facility.
DR.. Miller McClintock, director of
the Bureau for Traffic Research of
Yale University, will discuss this
problem.
Subjects Listed.
The first sessions, beginning
Thursday at 10 am, will take up
three subjects: The outlook for in
vestors, better living standards
through better housing and rebuild
ing for traffic. Later sessions the
same day will cover markets for
home, home financing, mass housing,
the construction census, local build
ing congresses and apprenticeship.
Fridays meetings will deal with
the moderniZation of industrial and
commercial plants, the market of
non-residential construction, the
probable effects of war on construc-
ton and jurisdictional labor dis
putes.

buffernut Line
Abolition Seen
Saving $4,000
Cars Running North
Of Brightwood Due
To Be Reduced

Operating costs of the Georgia
avenue street car lines ultimately
could be cut $35,O00 a year if the
street car line on Butternut street
were abandoned, the Capital Tran
sit Co. told the Public Utilities Com
mission today as a public hearing
was resumed on the transit firms
petition to discontinue the Butter
nut street service.
Isaac B. Goad, staff engineer of
the transit company, said the COM
pany would realize an immediate
saving of $500 under its plan to
discontinue the Butternut service
and transfer this patronage to bus
lines now serving the Takoma Park
area. In addition. he said. an an
nual saving of $4,000 could be ef-
fected within a short time by
changes in the scheduling of the
street car service on Georgia avenue
from the downtown area to the
District line.
Reduction in Cars Planned.
Ultimately, the witness explained,
an annual saving of $35 900 would
be made possible if the company
is permitted to construct loop at
the northern terminus of the Sol
diers' Home line to permit oper-
alton of street cars of the new
Presidents Conference Committee
type. He said the company also
contemplated reducing the num-
Der of cars running north of Bright
wood to one-third of the total serv-
ice on Georgia avenue.
Richmond B. Keech, vice chair
man of the commission, wanted to
know whether the company had in
mind possible elimination of the
Soldiers Home branch, in case it
failed to receive authorization to
construct the proposed loop.
Edward D. Merrill, president of
the transit firm, replied that the
present volume of traffic on that
line now was sufficient to make it
desirable to retain it, but he ad-
mitted he was not satisfied that the
branch ultimately would be re-
tanned.
Suggests Loop.
H. L. Thornton, Takoma Park
businessman, suggested that the
company, instead of abandoning the
Butternut line, construct a loop
around triangle. near the Fourth
and Cedar streets terminus to permit
operation of Presidents Conference
cars on that line. Company officials
replied, however, that they had
studied such a plan and had found
It would not be feasible.
The hearing was started two weeks
ago, but was adjourned abruptly at
that time when Utilities Commission
officials demanded that the transit
firm supply more specific informa-
ton as to the economies which it
had planned to effect on the Georgia
avenue lines.
Spokesman for several business
and civic groups from Takoma Park
were scheduled to be heard at the
hearing this afternoon.

Gen. Hines Speaks
|At 81. Thomas.
Armistice Day Rites
Observance Held q
Sacred Duty by
Americans, He Says

The American people hold as a
sacred duty the observance of
Armistice Day, Brig. Gen. Frank T.
Hines, administrator of veterans
affairs, told the congregation of st.
Thomas Episcopal Church yester-
day morning at its Armistice Day
celebration.
I'VE cannot forget what it stands
for, no matter what changes may
take place outside the continental
limits Of the United States" Gen.
Hines said. mo matter how troubled
the rest Of the world may be,
Armistice Day has become a day of
remembrance and prayer-remem-
brance of those who gave their lives
or suffered injury or disease in de-
fense of those high ideals upon
which our democratic form of gov
ernment was founded. It was de-
tense OF those ideals which started
our men marching more than &c
years ago in the World War, and
today is day Of prayer that the
sacrifices which they made in this
cause may not be in vain. The ma
tions then involved were seeking to
establish. through the efforts and
force of war, a lasting peace"
But abhorring war;" Gen. Hines
stated, lit is the life of men and
not the death of men that deter
mines the peace of nations and
added that through the knowledge
gained by the passing of years and
especially through more recent
events I'VE have learned that the
price of peace, like the price of lib
erty, is eternal vigilance
Reminding the congregation of
the Importance in human affairs of
recent international developments,
Gen. Hines said: Despite the ad-
vance of civilization-and we may
question its progress in the light CT
recent events throughout the world
the enlightenment of the people
and the democratic form of govern
ment are still under test"
Gen. Hines closed his address with
an appeal for the preservation of
those spiritual values among q peo-
pie and among nations which are so
important to Christian living, and a
plea for the safety and protection Of
the helpless women and children in
all nations who might be at war.

Latin America Travel
Is Urged by Noble
As Trade StimuIant
Program for Expanding
Tourist Field Discussed
At Conference

Increase in tourist travel to and
from the Latin American countries
will stimulate employment in the
United States. increase the tempo
of inter American trade and open
up new sources of business for
steamship lines affected by the war
in Europe" Undersecretary of Com
merce Edward j. Noble told a group
of transportation executives and
Government officials at the Com
merce Department today.
Mr.. Noble pointed out that hum
dreds of thousands of United States
citizens who used to travel in Europe
will find new regions to explore be-
cause Of the unsettled conditions
abroad.
What better opportunity" he
asked, could there be for them
than to discover the charm and
beauty of the countries to the south
of us? We in the Americas have
a common heritage. but I think we
are woefully ignorant of one an
other. The broadening influence Of
travel, feel. will create in our tour
lists an appreciation of the sterling
qualities OF our nearest neighbors.
1t will whet their appetites, it will
create a demand for Latin American
goods and, above all, create, I hope,
sympathy and understanding for
their and our problems.
Vogue May Be Created.
I'm the course of travel many are
given employment. Our ships will
not stand idle and our general trade
will be increased. The tourist will
bring back with him from foreign
lands articles he has purchased and
which, when he returns, may well
create a further demand and per-
haps even vogue for those goods.
The money spent by United States
residents on travel in Latin Amer
lea would give our neighbors greater
purchasing power with which to buy
products in this country. Similar
effects will be caused by our neigh
bors in the south visiting our coun-
try and, feel sincerely, will help
strengthen the ties between us"
Representatives of shipping COM
panies, airlines and tourist agencies
discussed with Government officials
an agenda designed to survey and
lay plans for expanding the tourist
travel field. Subjects reviewed in
cluded shipping facilities, accommo-
dations for tourists in the various
countries and the type of travel
promotion and publicity needed to
stimulate tours.
Parley Called by Hopkins.
The conference was one of series
called by Secretary of Commerce
Hopkins with a view of stimulating
trade among the Americas.
Mutual import and export posi-
bilities were discussed last week at
meeting attended by diplomatic
representatives of the southern re-
publics, American business execu-
tives and Government officials.
The Inter-American Financial
and Economic Advisory Committee,
established at the recent Panama
neutrality conference, will begin its
first session Wednesday at the PAN
American Union. This organization
also has the aim of promoting inter-
change of products among the
Americas and of diminishing the ef-
fects of the European war on the
commerce of member countries.
