An agreement, wherehy the French government. would co-operate with the United States to cope with the large fllicit lighor trafic which makes the French islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon, off the Newfoundland coast, their base, is being sought by the Washington administration. Conversa- 1lons to this end have been progressing ?Y\M\\I‘Pn the two governments since Jule, The United States, it is understood, does not propose to conclude a formal | treaty hetween the two governments It is seeking rather an agreement to facilitate law enforcement in this country and whereby information vse- ful to American Coast Guard officials— such as lists of ships which clear the islands, their cargoes, their declared origin and_destination, their owner- ship—would be available. { Represented As Worst. | Treasury and State Department | officials in conversations with French officials are said to have declared that S§t. Pierre and Miquelon have become the worst hootleg hases in the Atlantic since a eo-operative reement was reached with the Bri h administra- tion of the Rahamas.

Begun \arsations were first hegun by Assistant Secretary Dewey of the Treasury in Paris last July. Since then the matter has been almost con- nnder discussion, America rying to find a common | eement and to fix how <a the co-operation should be with- out infringing French rights and the rights of the islands’ inhabitants.

Silver Spring Silver Spring, the business center of Maryland-Nerth-of-Washington, is already the most active trade center of suburban Maryland. This business activity must increase, be- cause all of Washington's north- and-south highways between Chevy Chase and Hyattsville are being ex- through ~ Silver Spring. Through the heart of Silver Spring extends the widest business plaza on any side of Washington. The width of its paved section will be- doubled in 1928. Silver Spring is supported by all the well built and substantial communities of Mary- land-North-of-Washington. of this property. tended Woodside Woodside is centrally located in the Maryland - North - of - Washington region, conveniently near the pro- gressive business district of Silver Spring, yet pleasantly removed from the noise of traffic.

Seven Oaks Seven Oaks, located on the Coles- ville-Baltimore highway, is noted for its many picturesque homes of the country estate type.
