Cost And /Or Value

-. Frequently there is little rela-
tionship between COST AND
VALUE. The real achievement
is to obtain the best VALUE,
whether in a product, material or
service. for the least possible cost.
From the smallest corner store to
the greatest corporation. in every
business and profession. those who
give the greatest VALUE for the
lowest cost are the most successful.
VALUE may be apparent i'm
mediately. Frequently it takes
weeks, months, or years to assess
the true VALUE OF a product, Of
materials or Of services.
That is particularly true Of a
checking account with the National
Bank Of Detroit. It's VALUE may
be demonstrated within Q week,
but month by month, year by
year, its VALUE increases.

Male Birth Rate
Fails to Back
Superstition

The old superstition OF a marked
wartime increase in male births
isn't holding true in Washington
where figures of the Bureau of Vital
Statistics show only slight f1uctua-
tion in the male birth rate from
1889 through the first half of 1914
!. Although the total number of
births increased from 1891 in 1899
to 1882 in 1943, the birth rate per
Il 200 population rose only from 21.5
to 25.9. The male birth rate, al
ways slightly greater, ranged be-
tween 103 and LOG per 100 female
births.
- Female births among the colored
population actually exceeded male
births in 1910, 1941, 1943 and the
first halt of 1914, while the ratio
was even in 1912 Among whites,
the ratio fluctuated from 108 in
1912 to 104 in 1943, both wartime
years.
Joseph B. Irvine, chief of the
bureau, explained the Districts
abirth rate was somewhat higher
than the national average when
both resident and nonresident
mothers were included in the totals,
but about the same when only Dis
trict residents were counted.

Park Group Fights Erosion,
Seeks Water for Pierce Mill

Sticking TO nature as closely Is
possible, the National Park and
Planning Commission is trying to
combat erosion in Rock Greek Park
and restore water power to the his
toric Pierce Mill.
Faced with the problem of dam
aged trees and a sluggish stream as
result of years Of erosion, the
Commission has undertaken the
task Of dredging the channel and
grading the banks. In the past five
weeks, workmen have scooped out
some $500 yards Of sand and soil,
from Blagden Ford down to the mill,
which has stood at the foot of
Tilden street and Broad Branch
road since 1920.

would be to construct concrete walls.
However, the commission wants
something "a little more rustic"
Concrete walls are so cold and
formal" he said.
The plan of work for the next few
weeks is to build a loose wall" Of

side Of the creek near the ford. This

organization to meet postwar prob
lens in Falls Church will be held
at 8 pm. Wednesday in the Madi-

by A. L. Anderson, chairman Of a
special committee appointed at a
preliminary meeting last week.
Mr.. Anderson, president OF the

the new committee has prepared
recommendation for "a community
movement which we hope will en-
able Falls Church to solve its own
postwar problems and do its part
in the postwar adjustment of the
Washington Metropolitan Area and
the Nation"
Because Falls Church is a resi-
Dental suburb, he said, its employ
ment possibilities are restricted prin-
cipaly to service concerns, and for
this reason its program may have
to differ from that of most COM
munities.
TT is expected that our first move
will be to establish an information
center where returning veterans,
war workers and others may learn
the possibilities for employment in
the community, and obtain informa-
ton about the Federal. State and
local services available to them," he
said

tee will be read at the mass meeting
