The Cigarette Evil.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
stop the sale of pistols!' This demand,
SO forcefully urged in your recent edi-
torials, meets the hearty approval of
every humane, law-abiding citizen, as
your arguments are absolutely irrefut-
able.
Now, in the name of humanity and for
young Americas sake l urge the passage
of a law that will stop the sale Of cigar
cites Physicians. scientists, educators,
business firms, judges Of juvenile courts,
police officials, wardens of jails and re-
formatories. all unite in denouncing the
cigarette as the deadliest foe of boyhood' S
mental, moral and physical well being.
The rapid increase Of youthful degeneracy
! from this source has become so alarming
that several states of our Union have by
legislative enactment absolutely prohibit
ed the manufacture, sale and importation
of this destructive menace.
Our own District law is pitifully. ineffec-
| tive, as any boy under sixteen can get
| cigarettes, and the number of smokers is
increasing daily.
Three years ago the Woman'S Christian
| Temperance Union, through it's depart

Enlargement of the Capitol Ground.

10 tue LultOf VI Iue DUR.
The sundry civil bill for 191O-1911
reads: 1T is hereby declared to be the
intention Of Congress ultimately to
acquire all of squares 632. 6s3, 634, 6S1,
49,, 6S3, 6S4, 8S5, ~. 722 and 723 for
the enlargement of the Capitol grounds
and for the construction of a direct ave-
nue. of about $50 feet in width from the
junction of Pennsylvania avenue and LIST
street northwest to the Union Station
plaza, the center line of said avenue to
be located on the axis of the Peace
Monument and the site of the. westerly
fountain I'm said plaza The sundry civil
bill for 1913-19l4, approved on the 23d
ultimo, provides for the purchase of
all of the foregoing squares. not already
acquired, with the exception of that part
of square 633 west of Arthur place. This
exemption will leave a most unsightly
projection into the northwest corner of
the enlarged grounds, and the little
structures on the west side of Arthur
place with the old Boyle's Hotel, Of un-
savory memory to the oldest inhabitants,
at the corner of G. street, will present
a sorry sight indeed from the beautiful
Senate building, the Capitol and the
Union station. Furthermore. the ex-
elHptlOi VI llllS HdlI square,, not dCIu-
ally defeating the very purpose Of the
enlargement of the grounds, namely. the
construction of the avenue directly
from the Peace Monument, SO called, to
the station plaza, will mar the effect OF
the whole project, as the corner of B
street and Arthur place would nearly
or quite project into the line of the
proposed avenue.
If the exemption Of this half square
was an oversight. it behooves the au-
thorities to take prompt action, unless
1t is the intention to negative the gen.
orally understood purpose of the con-
demnation proceedings. The fact that
some twenty-nine representatives hap
pen, by coincidence, to be re-
siding at present in an apartment hotel In
this half square does not excuse the
omission, nor would even their presence
tend to make the projection OF this
ground into the park extension any less
Objectionable from an artistic point of
view. JAMES BERRY.

PLAN SUMMER GAMES
AT CLEVELAND SCHOOL
Washington's First Recreation
Center to Be Opened Next
Monday Morning.

Washington's first public school recrea-
ton center is to be opened at the Grover
Cleveland School, Sth and streets
northwest. next Monday morning. under
the direction of Miss Cecil Norton, one
of the teachers of that school. 1t will
be continued as long as it Is possible on
the funds which have been raised by
friends Of the school. This time prob
ably will be between six and eight
weeks No school funds are available for
the purpose, and those who teach at the
school during these summer months will
have to be paid through the voluntary
contributions
subjects will be taught to the children
In the neighborhood. A branch library
will be opened in one room of the school.
Besides this, a general recreation pro-
gram. consisting of games, STORYTELLING
and kindred activities will be given dur
ing the time the center Is open. In addi-
ton to this, Miss Norton is planning to
have one entertainment each week in the
assembly hall of the school, At these
entertainments parents and friends of
the children will be invited to attend
The school has only a small play
ground. but the assembly hall gives a
much larger space In the building than
This hail. having q stage with footlights
and other equipment, offers a good place
for dramatization work. This Miss Nor
ton also expects to conduct.
DR.. Davidson Approves Plan.
DIR. William NJ. Davidson superintend-
ent of schools here. is in sympathy with
the plan. it Is understood A commit
tee consisting of Miss F. S. Farley,
principal of the building; Miss Norton
and Mrs. Howard Beall. a parent of one
Of the pupils Of the school, and interest
ed in several of the projects which have
been conducted there, called on the
superintendent today to discuss plans for
the recreation center.
A benefit performance at one of the
large vaudeville and motion picture
houses here is planned for the near
future, the manager of one Of these
houses being interested in the work.
For a long time it has been the wish
of many Of the local educators and
others interested in educational work to
extend the use of the SchOOlhouseS,
using them for various purposes in the
winter and in the summer using them as
recreation centerS. Numerous difficult
ties have been encountered, but, IT is
believed, the present attempt will act as
an entering wedge by which wider and
wider activities will be conducted in the
heretofore only partially used millions of
dollars worth of schools in this city.
