Democrats Favor
Ordinary Clothing
At Inaugural Ball

Fewer glad rags" for the inaugural
bail and more Of the everyday dress 'of
the great common people Is the propo-
sition that many Democrats are urging.
There has been too much ostentation
and formality about recent inaugural
balls. they say. 30 now they want to
have the social event attending Presi-
dsnt-elect Wilson's Inauguration one
where evening dress need not neces.
sarily be worn to be 'au fait."
Thousands Of the common people
from all over the country come to
Washington for the Inauguration cere-
monies, but do not feel like attending
the ball because they have not the
clothes considered proper on such an
occasion.

nor-elect Cox that he wanted all the
common people to attend his Inaugural

Garfield Citizens Discuss Facilities
and Appoint Committee.

Public school matters claimed the at
tention of the members Of the Original
Garfield Citizens Association, which held
its October meeting last evening at the
home of Mr.. Henry in Alabama avenue.
1t was pointed out that the nonresident
order of the Commissioners had resulted
in keeping several children from the Gar
field School and that a number of the
classes were smaller this year than be-
fore. 1t was also brought out that much
difficulty was being experienced in in
ducing parents to send their children to
the kindergarten. in some cases largely
because of the distance from the homes
to the school. The placing in operation
of a wagon to make a certain route each
morning in an effort to get the smaller
children to attend school was discussed.
1t was stated that the children in attend
ance at the Birney School in Hillsdale
caused an overcrowded condition, and
suggestion will be made that some of
them be transferred to the Garfield
School. A committee consisting of Will
liam II. Lewis, jr., .. F. N. Madden and
Mr.. Henry was appointed to confer with
the school officials regarding this matter:
