seen Professor LAMBERT, real name
Basil Lambert. He has been play
ing vaudeville and night clubs for
years. Comes out on the stage and
plays a xylophone. Behind his back
a pretty girl peels off her clothes.
Professor LAMBERT pretends he
thinks the applause is for him, He

the audience cheers the dropping of
shoulder straps.
The professors act, cleaned up
and glorified, is now in the movies,

behind the professors back. She
throws her hips around little and
throws kisses at the audience - but

Sought in Survey
Boards QUESTIONABLE
Seeks information on
Purchasing Power

A survey throughout the Metro
politan Area to determine what

war is over began today under the

tailed questions as to their economic
needs after the war. Investigators

tend to remain here and, if so,
whether they intend to rent, buy or
build their homes. They are also
being asked in what section of the
city or in what nearby community
they prefer to live.

whether wartime workers here plan
to remain in the Capital, move to
other cities or retire from their jobs
after the war. 1t seeks to determine
what rent levels tenants will seek
or what price range they are in
terested in if they intend to build
or purchase their own homes. Such

out. will be valuable to builders and
real estate men in making plans for
the future s
Persons being polled are requested
to state whether they intend to buy
automobiles, whether new or used;

in the way Of new sidewalks, drive
ways and landscaping.

tionnaires will be studied, together
with other information being fur
n1shed by employers and business
men throughout the area. When

it is hoped that an adequate pic
ture of the Capitals postwar re-
quirements will be available to help
