A new system of grouping exhibits will mark the industrial exposition of the Washington Chamber of Com- merce this - year, according to an- nouncement by President Martin A. Leese. It has been decided by the execu- tive committee of the chamber, which is in charge of plans for the third annual event to be held from March 9 to 19 at the Washington Audi- torfum, that the interests of both the exhibitors and the public will be served better by placing kindred ex- hibits together. The scheme would be instanced by makers and distributors of various items of office equipment being placed together rather than have a type- writer concern between booths of, perhaps, domestic appeal. Those in charge believe that the exhibitor will better be able to display his products to advantage under this system, while those who visit the annual survey of commerce and industry in the Na. tional Capital will find’ the things in which they are most interested groyped where they can be viewed with a saving of time and ‘effort. Following this idea of grouping ex- hibitors, it was stated at exposition | headquarters that associations com-| prising those engaged in various lines | of business have been invited en masse to participate. Instead of touching merely phas mercial line, it is hoped to arrange displays that will sketch the whole field of various departments of indus- try or commerce. Ve hope to be able to offer for public inspection exhibits that will be more comprehensive than in any previous exposition through combin- z them according to a group, plan,” said President Leese in announcing the new scheme that will prevail “It should be more satisfactory for all concerned, and offers opportuni for planning exhibits were not possible. Thrpugh grouping | exhibitors and their products, we will be able to set up many displays that will have distinct educational values, n that they will sketch rather clearly rocesses and phases of industrial or -ommercial concerns that are not gen- erally known." ¢ of an industry or com. | that formerlyq PROPOSES ROUND-WORLD JOURNEY IN 24 DAYS Aviation Magazine Publisher, With His Wife, to Use Establish- ed Commercial Air Lines.

Light-minded persons with small re- spect for the architectual whims of vesteryear have likenefl the State De- partment, exteriorly spraking, to petri- fied ragtime. But who could have anticipated that jazz should be dis- covered in the sacred confines of its official files? Yet it's there, officlally—very offi- cially——and espectally. True, its not so modern in flavor as the “Valencia' epoch in American life, but it is coin- cident with the ‘‘Yes, We Have No Bananas” cultural era. It is part of a report telling of the astonishing result of a government- subsidized national awakening to light diversions which swept a certain small European capital following the intro- duction into official social life by lega- tion attaches of American jazz phono-/| graph records. A sprightly picture of the incident and its aftermath is drawn by the American minister in charge for embalming in the official files at Washington. Records Caused Epidemic. “‘One trial of the music and dancing became epidemic,” he sajd. ‘“These records, on loan, passed from house to house, and soon native men and women, prejudiced as they are against modern .customs and frivolities, had Joined in one-steps and tangoes.” A legation dance with jazz motif capped the climax. The chief of state A& ballroom. ported. “Further, to assure the success of these official functions, an order was issued authorizing the advance of one month's salary to every government official with which to purchase formal evening dress,” the report added. “The money is to he repaid at $4 a month, and the clawhammer coat and dinner jacket are to become as com- mon here as elsewhere in the realms of polite civilization. Brought First Play. “As a non-dancer, I must confess I had never before appreciated the cul- tural influence of ‘It Ain't Gone to Rain No Mo'’ and ‘Yes, We Have No Bananas.’ The minister predicted a general improvement in the outlook of the people. ““They have never known play,” he said. ‘At five years hard labor be gins, and then, perhaps as early 12 years, comes marriage and responsi- bilities of a family without the pleas- ures of a home. For the woman life has held nothing but drudgery and seclusion until recently. The State Department replied.

By the Associated Press, NEW YORK, January 14.—Com- missioners acting for New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, ending four years of work, yesterday signed a treaty apportioning 600,000,000 gal- lons, daily flow of the Delaware River to New York and New Jer- sey each, and 900,000,000 gallons daily to Pennsylvania. The treaty, which is the first to be negotiated by any of the Eastern States, and is described as a ‘“dis- trict forward step in the preserva- tion of State rights against the en- croachment of Federal authority in taking water from interstate bound- dary rivers,” will next be submitted to the three State Legislatures for approval. Consent of Congress, which is said to be a formal matter only, but necessary to show that there has been no contravention of Federal statues, will then be sought. HAS NEW INVENTION.

CONSTANTINOPLE, January 14.—Advertisements, or any form of .public announcements, hence- forth must contain no mistakes in spelling or grammar. If they do, the .individuals or companies re. sponsible will be fined, under or- ders issued by the prefect of Con- stantinople. Shopkeepers also have been or- dered by the preféct to stmplify their shop signs, which are noto- riously lengthy and elaborate. Thus such customary notices as “Hadji Hussein, the bearded one, native of Denizii, seller 6f sweats sweeter than the fruits of Parac dise, sweeter than the lips of Cir- cassian slaves,” will have to be flattened to a mere “Hadji Hus- sein’s candy shop.” M’NARY-HAUGEN BILL IS GIVEN APPROVAL Farm Aid Measure Wins, 13 to 8, After Three-Day Fight in House Committee. By the Associated Press. The House agricultural committee today approved the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill. The vote was 13 to 8 The vote was taken after a_motion to substitute the Curtis-Crisp bill fail- ed, 16 to 5.

Chairman Haugen declared after the meeting that the.McNary-Haugen bill has “an excellent chance to pass the House." “I understand,” he said, “that mear- Iy two dozen members who voted against the bill last year will be with us this time." et Lo STATE CLUB CELEBRATES.
