Market Widens Rapidly.

ANY appraisal Of the rapidly NOV
ing situation is complicated by two
important trends:
llD Population has outgroWn the
District itself and placed much
more emphasis on the large resi-
dental sections of Maryland and
Virginia.
~ Congestion in the downtown
area has made it increasingly nee
essary for these adjoining sections
to have their own trading facilities.
The need has been filled partially
by the construction of many addl-
tional community shopping centerS
IN the last year and the enlargement
of existing ones. Another angle was
added to this spreading process in
the last half of 1910. when an
Arlington site was selected for
new War Department building, first

building to be placed on the Virginia
side of the Potomac. The giant new

Population Up Further.
On April l this year, the Federal
census showed a population OF b63.-
153 in the District OF Columbia,
or 36.2 per cent above 1880. How
ever, the figure already has been
supplemented by an estimate OF 15,-
900 since that time, and the District
gain is half of a Metropolitan Area
increase of 10000 since April |.
An April census total is not avail
able for the Metropolitan Area,
which includes only portions of
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties in Maryland. However,
/ figures for entire counties gave a
/ clear enough picture.
/ Arlington. all of which is in the
area, had a population of $500,
uD 1923 per cent since 1880; Alex
andria's $4,000 represented a gain
of 39.9 per cent; the Fairfax figure
of 4O668 was up 600 per cent;
MONTGOMERY 81.444 total was 65.5
! per cent higher; Prince Georges
| showed an increase of 45.1 per cent
to 87.177.

Emily Post Notes
Social Changes
OF Two Decades

TUST because she receives some
J three thousand letters a day
from people asking advice about
social and personal problems
doesn't mean that Emily Post isn't
a woman confronted with several
deep perplexities of her own.
One of the greatest, writes Mar
garet Case Hartman in the June
issue of Good Housekeeping maga-
zine, is the fact that although she
has written five novels and three
other books, she is known chiefly
for Etiquette or the Blue Book of
Social Usage which she wrote in
1922. 1t has made her the foremost
authority on social manners in the
country. Mrs. Hartman says it has
run through four editions, which
means sixty printings or more than
half a million copies.
Even though it's logical to guess
from her book that Mrs. Post IS
a stickler for formality, Mrs. Harri-
man reveals that her manner has
an easy charm that breaks candidly
into impatience or an occasional
mild profanity in the presence OF
anything f1ossy or phony. When
asked by linen company to COM
ment on an advertisement of
table fancily set for a formal din
ner, Lord" she stammered, 'it's
lousy"
Mrs. Harriman's article relates
that Mrs. Post was born and bred
in New York City where she was
the belle of her debutante season,
1892. Now she is a gay, friendly
woman, very handsome and with
the spirited good looks one romanti-
cally associates with the eighteen
uinetees. Shortly after Mrs. Posts
father died, she divorced her hus-
band, and suddenly found herself
a divorcee and. through necessity,
a working woman at a time when
neither divorce nor gainful employ
ment by gentlewomen was recog-
nized by til, kind Of people Mrs.
Post had known.
Among many other virtues, Mrs.
Posts volume on etiquette pre-
sents panorama of the vast
changes in Americas social scene
during the last two decades. When
the first edition appeared it was
filled with hints on how to handle
butlers. chauffeurs. and footmen.
The latest edition (1940) now has
scant two-and-a-half pages on but
lers and almost nine on the woman
who wants to be an efficient cook,
waitress and hostess at the same
time. The chaperon who figured so
largely in the early editions has
completely vanished, and as for
that old bugaboo about which fork
one should use in eating, Mrs. Post
has this to say, Nothing is of less
importance"

magazine, but Carolyn is so natur-
al, untutored, and unaffected that
she now rates as star after hav-
ing made but two pictures. Accord
ing to Miss Hamman, her salary is
fabulous and Paramount is hatch
ing three new films in which to
star her in 1941. Movie customers
are crazy about her, she's captured
the hearts of the testiest critics.
Even cranky creatures who usually
loathe movie tots admit that Caro-
lyn is not half bad.
Carolyn, says Miss Hamman, is
not overly enthusiastic about her
job. "It's hard work" she says
frankly, "and sometimes l get tired
doing the same thing over and over
again; but I get paid, and that's
nice" Carolyn has unique salary
arrangement in which she collects
dime every day at the cashiers
window, but now that she's had q
little experience she feels she's en-
titled to a raise and her director,
Edward Griffith agrees. Now, Miss
Hamman says in her article, in
stead of ten, she collects fifteen
cents day, and Carolyn is tickled
pink.

Authors Life Proves
Adventure Is Free

II ARE is the man or woman
II who has never felt the urge
to get away from it all = to make
life one long vacation. But, argue
most people, it's not possible. You
can't do it without fabulous sums
of money.
Take it from June Burn, who
writes in the July issue of Co.'S
mopolitan magazine that it is quite
possible and that furthermore she
has spent her life doing it, on prac-
tically nothing a year. Mrs. Burn
and her husband share passion
for living in the woods, for enjoy
ing the unaffected grandeur Of
nature, and believe firmly that
happiness and adventure alike are
free.
Mrs. Burns autobiography con-
stitutes saga of outdoor life which
began when she and her husband
became the last homesteaders on
an island in Puget Sound, spending
their days writing and getting
sufficient food supplies. But this
was only a preface to their future
wanderings. Following a year of
teaching on an island in the Bering
Sea, they journeyed three hundred
miles by foot from st. Louis to
Indianapolis on foot using a mule
and cart as bassinet for their
small child.
Soon after, Mrs. Burn admits
that she fell into bad ways-she
and her husband settled down to
make money. Both were successful
and between them they earned over
$4,000 year. But they quickly
realized they had wandered off
the track, and their next adven-
ture was touring the country in
a house car which they called
Burns Ballad Bungalow. They
journeyed UP and down the West
Coast selling Mr.. Burns songs, but
at the same time instructing their
children and giving them a glimpse
of the country in which they lived.
1--WE spent nearly all our time
getting enough to eat" Mrs. Burn
says. "Only the evenings were left
for reading and talking, only few
hours a day to sit and dream by
our fires" But she reflects that this
Is the purpose Of all work. and that
In doing it she and her husband
were immeasurably more happy
than people who spent eight hours
= day in an Office or laboratory.

Traffic Light

1t is very gratifying to the
citizens of Smyrna who are
drivers of cars to learn that
Town Council, with the COOP
GRAFTON of the State Highway
Department, have decided to
install lights at the Commerce
Street intersection of the du-
Pont Boulevard. The parking
of large trucks so close to the
intersection that a clear view
of traffic cannot be had, has
made this a very dangerous
crossing and installation of
ngnCS mas long Deen asked Tor
by citizens of Smyrna. While
"No Parking" signs have been
placed a short distance from
the corner, on the Boulevard,
they have long been disre-
garded and on each side of the
Boulevard a house is so close
to the corner, a clear view
cannot be obtained. A large
poultry truck recently upset
at this intersection and that
no lives were lost was a mir
acle. We hope the Highway
Department means "at once"
to install the lights.

The offices Of DR.. Henry Ke-

two offices apart on the second
floor of the Kaiser building,

The robberies were discovered
by DR.. Keyhoe when he return

the fact that nothing had been
missing when his office-nurse

evidence of the timeliness of the
raid. In Dr.. Kehoe's office a
valuable microscope was stolen.
In DR.. Taylor's office q quantity
of dental gold, valued at IS, was
taken as was Sill in cash.
The thieves overlooked a
quantity of cash in DR.. Kehoe's

in both offices and obtained
