THEY HEARD ABOUT 1T

Folks here knew about THE de-
preston, of course, but if it hadn't
been for banking troubles and the
drain from relatives living else
where, it probably would have been
no more than hearsay. Even the
major business recessions are not
reflected in Washington.
The only real depression Wash
ington had in the memory of the
present generation, was after the
World War, when the government
started whiting down Che H.
100 civil employees working here.
The number was almost halved
before they were through. Wash
ington business and real estate
men still recall those days as q
financial nightmare.
Oddly enough, though, in spite
of reasonably permanent condi-
ton of good business, Washington
does have its unemployment and
relief problems. Hundreds an d
thousands of job-seekers drift in
here seeking and finding not. And
the more unemployed out over
the land, the more drift to the
capital.

NO-DEPRESSION TOWN

Washington recently was referred
to as a boom town" and it's more
or less true more or less, be-
cause the word boom generally
is associated with town that
mushrooms and then goes bust.
Persons who know their Bret
Harte and Jack London andfor
those who have followed oil dis
coveries from Spindletop to Bor-
ger will understand it that way, at
least.
AS matter of fact, Washington
has been booming since 1900 and
about the only things that have
gone bust here in all that time
are some pieces of sculpture and
those 10Th century politicians who
played real estate on the wrong
side of the capitol
What is more correct is that
Washington is ia no depression
town. AT least. it's the closest
thing to it that this country ever
has seen.
The reason is that Uncle Sam
always meets his payroll and
those of his 127,771 nephews and
nieces who work here can always
and often do-pay their bills.

team, to l.

double from Kimball, who was pitch
ing a close ball game Came the
third frame and Douglas famed out
against Kimball; Neimi, Odell and
Manning doing the deed in the order
named.
In the meantime the Moose had
not been idle and had taken three
hits from Jensen in the second and
third The fourth and fifth showed
Converse and Snow how to bring in
the other two runs that kept Doug
las away back there and made it
unnecessary for the last half of the
seventh canto to be played.

managed to fill his eyes with dirt
Time was called and Odell had his
tear-filled eyes scraped out. But it
was only cursory operation and the
chubby catcher went back to his
crouch with still a handful of dirt
in each eve.
A binding sun that persistently
crept under Kimbalrs hat as he
stood on the mound almost gave
Douglas a chance to get back their
