Metropolitan Scene
The Star Has Helped Transform Capital
From MudhoIe to ShowpIoce Since 852
By John W. Thompson, Jr.

AS Of Tuesday The Star has
been looking at the metropoli-
tan scene for 100 years.
It has watched and had a
hand in the transformation Of
a Federal mudhole into a
splendid world capital.
This century-old observer
stood by from 1852 to 1871.
when the last Of the Districts
Mayors-one a relative of the
man who sold this paper to its
present owners-were graphing
unsuccessfully with the grow
ing pains of the Capital.
1t was on hand in 1861 to
witness creation by Congress
of the Metropolitan Police Dis
trict under a board of police
that survived until the present
form Of District government
was established in 1878.
It was in time for the organ
ization of local fire companies
into the Washington Fire De-
partment in 1862 and establish
ment Of a Commissioner Of
Health (1856) with broad
powers.
Aqueduct Ground Breokino
1t was there with President
Pierce in 1853 watching ground
breaking for the Washington
Aqueduct, which was to take
water from the Potomac at
Great Falls for the expanding
city.
Under its eye the territorial
government for the District was
set up in 1871 under Gov.
Henry D. Cooke. and Norton
Chapman, a patent lawyer. be-
came the only representative
the Capital has had on the
floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives before or since. He
was a non-voting delegate.
Alexander r. Shepherd was
one of the group, including the
forebears of the present own
ers, who bought The Star from
w. D. Wallach in 1867. In
1873 Mr.. Shepherd became Gov
ernor and his former associates
watched him work his heart out
in the near impossible task Of
trying to develop the Capital
without Federal financial aid.
Then came the Organic Act
of 1878 and the present form of
District government, together
with a commitment from Uncle
Sam to share with local resi-
dents $3.50 the cost of Capital
development.
Since that time The Star has

Night Shopping Mess in the District
By Riehord FrykIund

The Christmas shopper who
comes to downtown Washing
ton on Monday evenings and
finds that some of his favorite
stores are open and some are
closed is actually in the middle
of what retailers call "the new
mess in Washington" The Mon
day night mess Is a result Of
uncertainty and disagreement
among store executives over the
need to cater to new public buy
ing habits-and over the very
existence Of these new habits.
Night shopping is not just a
local problem. Downtown stores
have opened grudgingly one
night week In more than 30
per cent of the Nations large
cities. A second night is becom-
ing common-over the dead
bodies Of store managers and
employees from coast to coast.
Most. retailers believe that
night openings are a step back
ward for their industry. It was
not 50 long ago that stores
broke away from the old Is
hour day and six-day week and
gradually converted merchan-
dizing to an eight-hour, day.
time job.
War Measure
The backward movement be-
gan during World War II. The
Federal Government asked re-
tailers all over the Nation to
stay open one night a week so
that war workers could have
time to shop. Washington stores
co-operated. They began Thurs
day openings in March Of 1912.
They stopped. with a sigh Of
relief, in November, 1945. when
the war was over.
But ir early 1949 some Of the
smaller stores along F and @
streets decided they could pick
UP business by staying open
Thursday nights. They opened,
but the large department stores
remained closed. The small
stores gradually gained Gus
toners and began to fill down.
town streets with buyers. De-
partment stores could not stand
to see that money walking by
their locked doors. so in Sep
tember. 1851. all big depart
ment stores joined the trend.
Only a few shops held out
mostly the ones with better
heeled customers who could
shop during the day.
Then trade journals began
telling of some cities which
were opening two nights-or
three. Suburban Washington
stores opened two nights. Many
super markets were pioneering
with straightforward openings.
Were the downtown Wash
ington stores losing business?
Some merchants thought they
were. And when profits did not
match expectations this fall,
one department store decided
to experiment with a Monday
opening during the Christmas
shopping season. other stores
hated the idea, but they went
along for competitive reasons.
Now the Seventh street depart
ment stores-Hecht's, Lans-

burgh's and Kann's-and many
smaller shops along Seventh. F.
q and the side streets are open.
But Woodward & Lothrop.
Garfinckel's. Jelleff's, Erlebach-
er's and other scattered stores
keep parts Of the main shopping
street dark on Mondays Except
when Thursdays fall on a holi-
day..
All Of the open stores insist
that Monday night is only a
Christmas innovation. And
doubtless they will revert to
Thursday-night-only after the
holidays. There will be no feel
ing. however, that things are
normal and will stay normal.
Habits Changing?
Merchants wonder II public
buying habits are not chang
ing. Some believe shoppers are
becoming addicted to evening
purchasing in the suburbs and
want the same thing downtown.
Other store owners say the sub
urbs cannot satisfy fundamental
shopping needs. Surveys have
shown the housewife wants to
visit three of four stores before
making up her mind, and those
stores are not available at the
location in the suburbs.
Some retailers believe the regu-
lar hours of Federal workers
permit them to do all the shop
ping they want on Saturday and
Thursday evenings. Others say
these workers would rather rest
than shop on Saturdays and
that one evening is not enough.
Those who fight for the status
quo say: There is no demand for
more evening shopping; Monday
night shopping merely diverts
other daytime business; en-
ployes do not like evening work
and 1t is hard enough now to
compete with Government for
promising young employees.
So there is a conflict between
merchants who are cropping for
a better way to accommodate
their stores to what they be-
lieve the public wants and the
store owners who feel the public
could best be served by the
present pattern-pfovided shop
pers are educated to use the
Thursday night that is avail
able.
There is agreement only that
every one = from executive to
stock clerk hates to work
nights.
But the fact is, store man
ayers simply do not know
whether changes are necessary
or not. No professional survey
has been made to find what the
customer wants and how badly
he wants it. mostly because such
a survey is expensive and would
have to have the support Of
almost all downtown stores.
Profit Undetermined
The stores do not know ex-
actly how profitable the present
second night openings have
been. It will take a close study
Of accounts to discover the
score. Opinions range now from
1T has been a waste of time"
to ut has been profitable, but
