Street Improvement.

The question of improvement of 25th
street from Q street to Minnesota ave-
nue. was presented for discussion again
last night. For several months the as
ISOLATION has been endeavoring to have
some work done to this street, and
since the last meeting a special COM
mittee has been In conference on sew
era1 occasions with the proper officials
concerning its improvements. A let
ter was read from the Commissioners,
as result, stating that 1t was esti-
mated to cost between four and five
thousand dollars to construct a tenn
porary grade for this street. and it
was not considered advisable to ex-
pend this amount for a temporary inn
provement. The association, however
decided that it would not cost that
amount of money to do what it desired
done, and another effort will be made
with the authorities.
The committee selected to consider
the erection of town hall in the
suburb stated that some preliminary
plans had been made, but that the mat
ter was being held over until the
spring. when more persons would be
interested in such a project.
The association accepted an invita-
ton to attend the next meeting of the
Anacostia Citizens Association the
evening of March 10. r. B. Young was
elected a member of the association.

STRINGENT DRUG LAW
IS URGED BY CITIZENS
Randle Highlands Association Feels
New Statute Is Not Strong
Enough.

The new federal drug law which
went into effect yesterday was the SUBJ
ject of discussion at the regular meet
ing of the Randle Highlands Citizens
Association last night in the Baptist
church on the Naylor road.
Several citizens felt that the new law
was not strict enough and that the
dope" fiends would still be able to get
drugs from physicians who were dis
posed to provide them. Two druggist
members Of the association, II. T. L.
Hoyle and r. B. Young, gave some in
teresting information concerning the
drug habit and the methods adopted by
some physicians to provide their pa
tients with drugs of an injurious ma
ture, which resulted in the adoption OF
resolution by the association indoors
ing more stringent law and calling
upon the proper officials to pay more
attention to the proper enforcement OF
the nreSent statutes

Oppose Pension Plan.

The association voted down a PROPOSE
ton presented last night looking to pro-
viding a pension fund for the policemen
and tiremen of the District, the majority
taking the opinion that unless a man were
actually disabled in the performance OF
his regular duties he was not en-
titled to a pension. II. T. l.. Hoyle and
H. A. Melton spoke in favor of d pen
sion fund, while S. f. Snyder, G. A.
Barker and J. r. Coryell spoke in OPP
position to it. The association was asked
to indorse a resolution for more money,
shorter hours and a pension by the Fire
mems Association of the District.
1t was reported that work would be
begun in the near future on the extension
of the large sewer from Minnesota ave-
nue., near Pennsylvania avenue. to the
proposed bulkhead line of the river i'm
provement work. 1t was said that this
sewer would serve two very important
purpose. First, it would eliminate the
presence of pools Of water, which are a
breeding place for mosquitoes during the
summer months, and 1t would also per-
init of the filling in of the deep ravine
through which the sewer will pass.

President Graft, who IS superintendent
of the Omaha public schools, is indignant
over the aspersions cast upon his or
ganization, whose membership includes
prominent school men and women OF the

Somebody has been eating mince pie
or having pipe dream. 1t is absurd to
think that the club would exceed it's
scope by engaging in school politics"
added President Graft.
In any event, the Henry bill is Great
ing something of a furore in school
circles of the state and there are some
at Lincoln who insist Trey have the

STYLES QUIT WAR TONE
Expert Says that America Will
Make Styles for Itself, Leaving
Out Effects of War.
TO REVIVE THE 1880 MODES

Ora Che pronounced Seminary. the man
wizard of woman's millinery fashions.
who is charming large audiences at the
spiesberger sales rooms this week, is
especially emphasizing Amerlcan-made
styles in his talks.
This country can produce styles just
as chic and good looking as any inn
ported models" he said. Then. too. they
have the advantage OF being peculiarly
adapted to the style of the American
woman"
He says that the present vogue Of
sand. putty and cement shades was the
first Indication of Americas ability to
stand behind its own fashion setting. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Cne, neither of these
shades appeared on the imported color
card for this present season, but the
colors were launched by the American
syndicate and proved successful.
The coming seasons styles will no
longer be affected by the war, but the
1880 modes will be revived. he believes.
shepherdess hats and flowing ribbons at
the back and side and quaint garden
hats will be the thing.
The vagarles OF society women. who
enter every prominent millinery establish
ment In town, order several hats made
on approval. and then only buy one hat
In one store, were heavily scored by the
/ speaker.
In the twlnkling of an eve, and while
engaged in rapid-fire monologue, MIR. Cne
converts an ordinary millinery shape into
a beautiful model. with only the addition
OF a bolt OF ribbon or bunch of flowers.
