ANACOsTIA.

Wednesday evening, at which time ].
I yler Powell is to be the inspector. A.
b. Frishje commander of the local post,
is in charge of the arrangements for
that evening. Mr.. Frisl.e has been COM
mander of this pest since it's organiza-
ton.
The organization of Camp Fire Girls
of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades of
the ketcham School in AnacOstia has
begun its active work. under the direc-
ton of Miss Gertrude A Phillips,
principal of that school, and some of the
other teachers.
Miss Marie Steinle of Nichols avenue,
Anacosta, has been transferred to the
teaching staff at the ketcham School
building from the Bryan School in the
city. Miss Steinle will teach the fourth
grade, the same grade that Miss Mabei
Pyles was in charge of before she re-
signed recently to become the wife of
Otto P. Bohman of New York.
1t has been decided that the work of
improving the alley in square 561O. on
Minnesota avenue, T and nth streets.
cannot be done at this time. but
the Commissioners state that it will be
considered next year. The money is now
available, but there is SO much work
to be done that this will have to be post
pOned.
1t now appears as if the first evening
meeting of the Parent-Teacher Associa-
tion of Anacostia will not be held until
some time in the early part of December.
This is due to the inability of the COM
mittee in charge to obtain a speaker for
the original evening, which had been set
for November IL. DR.. William c. Wood
ward was to have spoken, but previous
engageme nts made it impossible for him
to accept at the ,ast moment.

gress Heights Methodist Episcopal
Church. Albert E. Shoemaker is to de-
liver an address on the work being ac
complished by the Anti-Saloon League of
