Georgetown Association De-
cIares Federation Is Not Re-
Hector of Public Opinion.
RESOLUTION Is ADOPTED
AUTHORIZING INQUIRY
Criticism of Citizens Conferences
Also Heard-Raps for Public
Corporations.

The extent TO which the Federation OF
Citizens Associations serves as re-
Hector OF local public opinion was called
into question last night by the GEORGETOWN
Citizens. Association, which passed
resolution authorizing all investigation
TO determine what PERCENTAGE OF the
total membership Of Wash ngton's civic
organizations Is represented by the So
#ieties affiliated with the federated body.
Not only WAS the subject of the feder-
atoms value To the community discussed,
but reference was made to citizens
conferences which purport to represent
public opiu on, but VII oh in reality II
was alleged, develop nothing more than
the views of a few individual citizens.
George Y Worthington brought up the
question by introducing the resolution
referred to- He declared that the feo-
Grafton is not a general representative
body although II gets credit Tor ex-
pressing the views OF the entire District.
The Georgetown association. he stated, Is
not affiliated with the central organ.za-
tlon while the same is true Of q great
many other civic societies.

Dandruff is not a necessary evil.
Modern science has produced from
the purest crude oil an odorless and
stainless scalp cleanse and hair

Crudol retains all the good quail

disagreeable features.
Crudol does not make the hair
oily. and therefore the hair does not
have to be washed after its use

to the roots of the hair.

Officers Reelected.

There was nothing that resembled

the association another year. all the pres
ent officials being retained by unanimous
vote They are Frank p. Leech, presi-
dent; John Hadley Doyle, first vice presi-
dent; Henry D. Matthews, second vice
president: William NJ. Dougal, treasurer,
and Spencer Gordon. secretary.
In his annual report President Leech
referred TO the completion of arrange
rnents for commencing work on the two
hundred and-seventy- thousand dollar
concrete bridge which is 10 span Rock

with @ street in Washington. The COM
plet.o on OF this Improvement he pre-
dicted will be followed by stimulation
Of realty values in Georgetown, and gen.
eral development OF the section west OF

favor OF the principle of home rule when

H Janney Nichols, relating 10 the
selection Of a successor 10 DR.. William
NJ Davidson as superintendent OF schools
of the District of Columbia. The reso-

Defines His Position.

Mr. Worthingtons remarks left no
room for doubt that he is of the opinion
the federation is without just claim to the
distinction of being the official mouth
piece of the citizenship Of Washington.
and that the Georgetown association
should institute an inquiry for the pur-
pose of determining how many OF the
Districts fifty seven citizens associations
belong TO the central body.
The discussion melted President Frank
2. Leetch to pay his respects TO what he
termed citizens conferences There
are organizations of this general char
acter he said, which claim to have been
endowed with full authority to represent
the public. when, as a matter of fact
he charged. they are kept going by only
three or four men and the public has
nothing TO do with them.
The Georg association started off
a new year last night by getting out its
hammer and rapping number of local
institutions Public utilities were not
spared. both the Washington Railway and
Electric Company and the Georgetown
Gas Light Company coming III for share
Of the criticism.

Report on Street Car Service.

Mr. Worthington and Spencer Gordon,
secretary Of the association, presented re-
ports from a special committee appointed
to look into the question of street car
service on the Georgetown line of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany Complaint had been made that not
enough cars are operated during the rush
hours The committee reported that the
public utilities commission is investigat-
ing the matter and that 1t is more than
probable that an Improvement will be
made in the service.
Asserting that heretofore it has been
his policy to assume a lenient attitude
toward public utilities operating in the
District. Mr.. Worthington served notice
on the association that he had expert
enced change of heart and that in
the future he would be found insisting
that the public be treated with greater
consideration by the public utilities cor
porations. He stated that recently de-
fective meter had resulted in the George
town Gas Light Company charging him
an excessive amount for gas, and that
the company had refused TO remit the
excess charge after its attention had
been called TO the cause OF She trouble.

after. when the prince went among
his people, he went on foot and often
disguise. And so quietly did he leave
his gifts, and SO quickly did he dis,
appear afterward, that often the peo-
pie could only guess who, had be-
frended them. Now they lay In wait
for him to thank him and consult him.
But to those asking advice he often
would only answer: Use your con-
science and your common sense. They
are the best advice givers." @.E
And, now in honor of his new found
happiness, he invented this saying:
April Shower Is the best kind of a
gift-giver." Many people didn't know
what to make Of It; but the prince felt
sure that the trees and flowers would
understand. IT,. ..-
The only persons who disliked the
change In the prince we're the enthus-
affected and simple In his way Of do
Ing things, he had no need Of heralds.
So there was nothing for them to do
but take off thei~ crimson jackets and
go to work like other people, which was
really a very good thing for them.
All his other subjects were delighted
with the change in him, and grew very
fond Of their modest, happy faced
prince. Indeed, even the members OF
the opposition, led by Heavybrows (the
same who made the unpleasant remark
beginning Bother the prince!") came
over in a body to the princes party;
and everywhere in the land there were
content and goodwill.

Aurelia's Picnic Brought {
......@ Rain.

One morning about the twenty-frst
of June Belva and Ruth Hedgecocks
and decided We would take our din
ner out in the timber and have pic
mic. We hitched up our pony and
started about seven o'clock. We got
down there in about a half an hour
lunch put away in good hiding place
until we were ready to eat it and had
started out to see what we could find
as good place to eat our dinner,
when we heard some people talking.
The voices sounded familiar to us
SO We weren't frightened. We met
Zeta McReynolds, Ruth and Eva
Wilmington, Blanche and Alice Sauers
who were out on a picnic also They
begged us to put our dinner with
theirs. So we spread our lunches on
the ground and began our picnic din
ner.
Just then we heard something which
sounded like thunder, we all jumped
to our feet and started to the edge of
the timber as fast as we could. Before
we got there big drops of rain began
to fall. 1t grew so dark we could hard
ly find our way, we got under tree
and stayed until good deal of the
storm was over and then we started
home. s
When we got home we all looked
like drowned rats and decided we did
not want any more picnics for awhile
Well as my story il getting long I
will close. 1aJ
