Business on Hotel Site.
Some time in the 70S, when
much of Sixteenth street, even
downtown, was vacant property, the
firm of Dickson g. King had Its
coal and wood business at Sixteenth
and 1 streets, where it remained
for years. Later the firm bought
the southeast corner of Sixteenth
and K streets, directly south of the
Hale mansion, where is the Carlton
Hotel, as well as the northwest cor
ner of this same thoroughfare,
where it stored wood. On the south
east corner it stored coal. However,
since this was soon deemed to be
too far uptown for an office, they
rented a piece of ground on the
east side of Sixteenth street, just
south of 1 street, and had their Of
flee there for while, but SUISSE
quently moved their Office to the
southeast corner of Sixteenth and
K streets.

Roll of Workers Under Defense Plans Brings New Activity Capital

trict between the ages of 81 and 35
has accentuated defense activity
here, while Gen. Cox also has been
busy directing preparation of the
National Guard for mobilization for
a years active service, now antici-
pated to be in January.
AS a result, the old National Hotel
Building occupied by the District
Guard is beehive of activity, with
many Guard officers and workers
not only performing their regular
duties but functioning in selective
service work as well.
Vocational schools in the District
are doing their bit by training
greater numbers of students as
skilled craftsmen in vital defense
positions. Most of them are young
men, who will take their places in
Government and private industrial
shops upon completion Of their
courses.
No House Shortage.
Despite the Districts rising popu-
lation, there still is no sign Of q
housing shortage, regardless OF
grapevine telegraph reports and
street conversation to the contrary
Secretary Charles J. Rush Of the
Washington Real Estate Board
pointed out that 1900 new houses
are now being constructed here
each month, as we'll as many new
apartment house buildings. There
is a pretty good sized vacancy in
rental properties here" he said, land
we must keep in mind that many
new jobs are going to former work.
ers, already here, who have been re-
hired by the Government.
1.-THE housing shortage" he con-
cluded, SIS something that has been
heard of but not SEEN"
A new hotel on Sixteenth street
and a tremendous new apartment
housing development for Temple
Heights are now being planned, and
these will augment housing facili-
ties for visitors and for permanent
residents.
Despite the fact that Washington s
pulse Is beating more rapidly, the
atmosphere of war-or possible war,
to be exact-is lacking, because very
few more uniformed men have been
seen on the streets. Army and Navy
officers on duty In the departments
here wear civilian clothes, so it is
usually enlisted men from nearby
posts and stations who do appear
in public In uniforms.
As for the future. no one In Wash
ington is even thinking Of any relief
from defense activity. If anything,
it is just the opposite. To resident
Washingtonians and to newcomers
alike, more changes, more new faces
