Great Britain Best Customer “Several foreign countries are competing with the United States in the manufacture of coin-operated machines, notably Great Britain, Germany and Denmark. Degpite this competition, numerous machines are sold in these countries. Great Btitain is the hest customer although there is a special handicap in that country fo the +tpread of coin- operated machines, hecause of the lack of a decimal coinage. Relief from Gas ‘ Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 per cent of all sickness is due to stom- ach and bowel troubles. You can’t be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even those of years’ standing. Mr. Alexis Caya, 546 Hunt St | Woonsocket, R. I, says: “I was in | such bad health I couldn’t work for a*year. I decided to try Tanlac. Now I've gained 30 lbs., my yellow skin bas cleared, constipation over- come and appetite returned.” If you suffer from gas, pains in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation, or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can't sleep and are nervous and all run dewn, you need Tanlac. It is good, e medicine, made of roots, erbe and berks. Get a bottle from your d ist today. Money back if it doesn’t help you.

A little over a century and a quarter ago, Maj. Pierre Charles L’Enfant, French army enginecr, aided by Washington and Jefferson. planned the capital city of an infant empire in a swamp along th: Potomac. But for various reasons some of the original plans have gone awry. Deadly effects are in evidence on Pennsylvania avenue, in the Mall, on Potomac parkway and other sec- tions of the city, entirely out of accord with L'Enfant’s idea of a national city. Under President Hoover's approv- al, and working with an authoriza- tion of $75,000,000 by congress, the task of transforming the - city ac- cording to the original plan ani subsequent extensions now is under way. Much more money is needed— probably a total of $200,000,000— but the present authoriization will finance the purchase of nearly all the land and keep the buildir.g»pro- gram in progress until 1933, The principal construction work will consist of the triangle devel- opment, as it is called. This pro- posal, now under way, will remove every privately owned building in the triangle formed by the south side of Penn. lvania avenue, Fif- teenth street, and B street along the Mail. In this triangle, a mile long, even- certain secticns of the national canital to make The woik comes under the jurisdiction of ic triangle development (below) are two of the tually will be grouped all the execu- tive departments except state, war, interior, which are noWw provided for. Already in this triangle there is a huge hole where the new comn- merce building is to rise. Further down, the internal revenue building also is under conmstruction of the archives building. In this same area will be erected buildings for the department of labor and justice, Across the Mall, work is'in prog- ress on the new structure for ths departmentt of agriculture, In the Mall, where are now located the Smithsonian institution, the I'resr gallery and the National museum, it is contemplated to erect only two more buildings, a national art gallery and a Washington memo- Why not let the hands of long experience inake your M _ O , otor i AUTOMOBILE motors present the toughest lubricating problem in the world. rvial. : Formal gardens. will be created, however, on the mound where the huge shaft to Washington stands. Development plans calls also for {improvements on capitol hill to in« clude demolition of temporary str- uctures in Union atatioin plaza. A building for the United States supreme court is also planned on. oapitol hill. The money has been appropriated for a site correspond- ing to that of ‘' the Congressionsl library, across the street from it, and facing the east portico of th capitol. Probably the last part of the pro- gram will be the building of the parkway connectitng the Lincoin memorial with Rock Creek park. When this is done it will complete a continuous parkway from Mount Vernon to the Arlington cemetery acroas the Potomac, symbolising the unfon of the north and south, out past the new Washington cathédral, which is being built on Mt. St.Albans, and through Rock Creek park to the Maryland state line, a distince of some 25 miles, Sells-Floto Circus May Play This City There will be a special meeting of the committee on licenses at the city clerk's office at 8 o'clock to- night to act on an application of the Sells-Floto circus to play New Brit- ain the latter part of June.
