ADVOCATES TRANSFER OF SHIP INSPECTION Representative Says Steamboat Service Should Be in Navy Department. By the Associated Press. As a safeguard against sea disasters like that of the Vestris, Representative Bloom, Democrat, New York, advocated in a statement last night the transfer of the Steamboat Inspection Service gom the Commerce Department to the avy. The New Yorker declared that “failure” on the part of inspectors to find fault with the Vestris before she sailed showed “something fundamental- ly wrong” with the service, and he thought the Navy was better fitted to perform this work. He also urged the empowering of such inspectors with authority to su- pervise the stowage of cargo, declar- ing that insistence on proper care in placing cargo, with resultant loss of time or expense in handling, is “likely to injure the standings of the captain and his chief officer so seriously with their employers as to militate against due strictness on their part.” - Detroit's 44 automobile passenger car factories turn out 765 models worth from 12,000.

Notable among them has been the occupancy of the Service Building at Ist and M Streets Northeast, where we have placed under one roof our delivery plant, merchandise warchouse and manufacturing shops. This manufacturing plant is equipped with the most modern machinery and operated by highly skilled craftsmen in the production of Special Furniture, Screens, Awnings, Window Shades, Draperies, Slip Covers, the Replating of Metals, and the installation of Metal Weather Strips. The Diamonds and Fine Jewelty Section has been entirely refixtured and arranged in a manner that enables us to properly present a fine and exclusive collection of Precious Stones, Fine Jewelry and Silverware. The New China and Glassware Sections display in a setting most approptiate to the metrchandise, the practical as well as the new and exclusive crea- tions from producers here and various countries of the Old World. The Fountain Room has been doubled in size to cate for its ever-increasing patronage. Never was there a time when in'd;xstry in all its branches was so alive to the fact that style and design have become outstanding factors in the mak- ing of products. “ This, of course, has been particularly true in the creation of Fashfons, and while Paris is still the inspiration for many styles, America is producing more and more of what we have been accustomed to expect from Europe. This has been especially emphasized in the making of Toys ‘and Playthings, which not only appeal for their ingenuity and newness, but also for their durability. It is seen, too, in the great growth and favor accorded such fabrics as Rayon and Celanese—American made. Our buyers will be frequently in Europe during the New Year and we shall, therefore, continue to be on the alert for the new and desirable things wherever they are produced.
