Washington Just when Wash
Ingtonians were convinced that
the nation' capital wkj becom

war broke loose.
It caught thirty-odd thousands
of official and unofficial Wash
ington at their favorite Sunday
pastime, watching a "pro" foot
ball game. The news, ten min
utes after it was flashed over the
Associated Press wires, reached
a group of F.B.I, officials. It was

called up. over two rows of spec
tators by a messenger who had
taken a telephone call from
headquarters. Like waves from
a pebble In a puddle, the news
circled the field.
Stands Empty
Within a few minutes the half
was over and the stands were
deserted by thousands as army,
navy and other government of
ficials rushed to report for duty.
Overnight, the capital, which
heretofore has seen uniforms on
only the non-commissioned of
ficers and men of the armed
forces, took on the appearance
of an armed camp as the thous
ands of army and navy officers
on desk duty here went into uni
form. Only those who were here
more than 20 years ago when
the hordes working in Washing
ton were ordered "out of uni
form" have any basis for com
parison of the warlike appear
ance of the capital.
The utter confusion of com
mentators who for days had
been predicting that nothing
would happen In the Pacific was
matched only by the surprise of
those who had been saying that
something would.
So far a wartime personnel
is concerned, Washington and
the nation are far ahead of that
spring In 1917. There are ap
proximately a million persons In
the District of Columbia and its
suburbs, more than twice what
it had 20 years ago before most
of the World war expansion had
been eliminated. There are near
ly a quarter of a million per
sons working for the govern
ment here and throughout the
country and foreign lands more
than 800,000 additional. There
are now about 2,000,000 per
sons In the armed forces, anoth
er million enrolled for civilian
defense and that figure Is ex
pected to double Immediately.
Housing and office space here
are at such a premium that the
stories of overcrowding and high
rentals would fill a volume. On
week-ends when soldiers from
nearby camps and government
employes are on the move, it Is
Impossible to get within a block
of Union station only a few
years ago ridiculed for Its size
as something to which the city
could never grow up.
It, It any wonder that Wash
tngtonians are saying that the
capital is far ahead, in bedlam,
of what It was when World war
1 broke out?

Think II Over!
Hare are two ways to run
a grocery business:
(1) Advertise a few Items
at sensationally low prices
and make up the loss by un
warranted higher prices en
other Hems.
(2) Quote a fair price, the
lowest possible price, en
every Item In the store
every day. This Is Safeway's
method, the only certain
way the customer can be as
sured of consistently saving
money on ALL her food buy
ing. It Is not "sensational"
. . . but it Is safe and sure . . ,
Think it over!
