ANACOsT1A.

An invitation has been extended to a
number of citizens of Anacostia. prin-
cipally those residing along Minnesota
avenue and streets branching from 1t.
to attend meeting to be held next Mon
day evening at the home of Edward +.
Wood. 1921 Minnesota avenue, for the
purpose of organizing an Improvement
association. which shall have as its OBJ
ject the procuring of legislation that will
benefit that particular section. The or
ganzation, it is understood, is not meant
to interfere with the Anacostia Citizens
Association in any way, but the improve
ment to that avenue is regarded as such
an important matter by the property
owners that it was thought concerted ac-
ton on that one thing might bring better
results.
A meeting of Salem Lodge, No. % In
dependent Order Of Odd Fellows was held
last evening in Masonic Hall. John
Payne, representative of the local lodge
on the general committee having in
charge the arrangements for the celebra-
ton in commemoration of the sixty first
anniversary of the founding of the order
of Re.bekah, reported ii had been decided
to hold this affair in Odd Fellows Hall,
Washington. the evening of September
%, and that about 800 members of this
degree in the District were interested in
the matter and would attend the cele-
bration.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Stevens of
Chester street, Anacostia, entertained the
members and friends of the Mems Social
Club of the Esther Memorial Chapel at
Congress Heights at their home last
evening. During the evening numerous
vocal and instrumental selections were
contributed by those present as well as
addresses by some of those in attend
ance.

Mrs. Upton 5. Howser at present holds
the Office of president.
Residents of Anacostia, and especially
members Of the citizens association who
have been working on the matter. will
see placed into practice next Monday
morning what is thought to be one of
the most important victories for the clti-
zens of the suburb that has ever been OBJ
tained. Some time ago a petition was
filed with the interstate commerce COM
mission protesting against the express
and baggage companies for their failure
to deliver packages throughout Ana
costa free of charge and to this the
companies interested made an adverse re-
port. The association did not withdraw
its complaint. however and was advised
yesterday that the Adams Express and
Southern Express and the United States
Express companies. all doing business in
Anacostia had issued orders to their
respective agents to make two free de-
liyerieS of parcels each day. and to make
two collections each day. This is exactly
what the association desired to obtain
for the suburb. 1t is believed that from
this action of the express companies
other companies concerned will also fall
in line.

SIXTY DOLLARS TOO
MUCH MONEY FOR COAT

NEW YORK, Dec. 10. - In a de-
rision handed down by the court last
week, the contention is upheld that
twenty dollars is enough to pay for
an overcoat by young man attend
ing college The occasion for this de-
cisiOn was a case where a young
man ordered an Overcoat from
the tailor, and charged ii to
his father. When the pater received
the bill for sixty dollars he refused
rayment The tailor brought suit on
the ground that the father was re-
sponsible for the necessaries of his
son, and that the overcoat was GER
tainly necessary article of apparel,
The father was compelled to pay $40.
but the tailor was stuck for the bal
ance, the court considering that over
$40 was extravagant and not ne
Cessity.
