An investigation of crowded conditions in Washington's theaters was ordered to- day by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse following { receipt of a complaint by Representa- ' tice Bowman of West Virzinia that over- crowding tends to create an unsafe con- | dition. | Mr. Bowman's charges are contained !'in a letter received by the superintend- | ent of police in th2 mails this morning, | +and h: immediately notified precinct | captains to make careful checks on the| | conditions in theaters in their respective { disiricts and report the resu! | #ire Chief George S. Watson also was | asked for a report on conditions found | | in theaters by members of the fire mar- | shals staff. Promises Remedy if Needed. Maj. Hesse said if the investigation | shows that conditions are as bad as| | pictured by Mr. Bowman, he would | | maze a determined eiort to have addi- tional regulations enacted if they are nesded. Mr, Bowman's letter follows: atiention as a member of the | t of Columbia commitiee in the | buse has frequanily been called to the | conditions that exist hére, especially at | evening perzormances of moving picture ! houses where aisles are blocked fre- quently when seating space is oversold, | and by personal experience I have re-| alized the necessity of active police en- .orcement to eliminate this situation. The neglect of the Police Dopart- | ment, especially at this time when now | | novelties in local theaters are attracting | | more crowds than ever before, may be th> source and cause of a greater | tragedy than occurred at the Knicker- | bocker Theater here some years ago. | Regulations Insufficient. “In case your present regulations are not sufficient to solve the difficulty en- countered, the Cominissioners have au- thority to extend these upon your rec< ommendation. *I wish to mention in this connection { the method of managers in overselling | the houses by one-half or more of their nz capacity at times, and forcing patrons to stand throughout the per- formance or take less expensive seats on upoer floors. “Most States require ‘standing room only’ notices after all seats are sold, but in Washington it is barely possible to get any information on seating factli- ties until within the theater. Upon re- quest, the only reply given, usually, is to the effect that the seats will be avail- | able shortly. but many people stand | throughout the shows and block the aistes and doorways.” ALLENBY ARRIVES HERE TOMORROW Crowded Program Arranged for British Field Marshal.

Davis Also Lists Reasons Why Dry Democrat Should Vote for Smith. By the Associated Press.

Davis, Demo- cratic standard bearer four years ago, in an address in the interest of the presidential candidacy of Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Declaring he did not object to a min- ister expressing himself on politics, Mr. Davis said that “what I will protest azainst is the instrusion of the cor- porate church into the field of politics.” Adverting to prohibition, he listed a number of reasons why he said a dry Democrat should vote for Smiti. - Program Ié. | A spectacular half-hour aerial show o..r the Washington Navy Yard and hibitions of scores of activities of the {Navy will feature the annual observ- ance tomorrow of Navy day at the ‘yard.

So rapidly are the natives of Aus- tralia being absorbed by the white set- tlers that it is estimated that the full- bloods will have entirely disappeared in less than 50 years, The.aboriginees of eastern New South Wales were the first to be brought into contact with white civilization. Their old culture disappeared rapidly, and by the time that scientific study of ethnology began in Australia the investigators naturally devoted themselves to the less contami- nated races of the interior. As regards hybridism, however, these tribes offer perhaps the best material today in the whole of Australia. The following table shows how the proportion of full-bloods to half-castes has altered since 1882: Full-blood Half:caste Proportion 300 3:1 4:3 3:4 3,000 4,000 5,000 1:3 1922 100 6,000 1:6 In 1895 the two classes were about equal. Now the half-castes are six times as numerous. Big Profits for Pencil Man: ‘What seems on the face of it to be & very humble business has resulted in gigantic profits for an American in Rus- sta. The man is Armand Hammer, who secured a lead pencil concession from the Soviet government, and on an in- vestment of $1,000,000 made a profit of $1,500,000 in the first year. It is true that the profits must be shared with the government, but even at that, and after payment of the taxes, the venture was remarkably successful. But lest any one imagines business in Russia is a sheer gold mine, it must be added that Dr. Hammer previous to this concession had five years' experience and learned successfully to meet a host of difficul- ties and surmount many red-tape ob- stacles. When Dr. Hammer began busi- | == ness an ordinary wooden lead pencil cost 25 cents, and a copying pencil 50 cents. Now.the price is 5 cents and 10 cents, respectively. Before beginning the production of pencils, Dr. Hammer imported approximately $2,000,000 worth of pencils annually, but at this time he is shipping pencils in large quantities to China, Turkey and other countries. New York is to have a $500,000 17- story Salvation Army residence for Joung business women.
