 BY MRS. REDEW|LL
P Who Hear Wonderful Program; Nj Most Successful Affair.

Before an audience that overflowed from the William C. Mills studio into the upper halls of the Chamber of Commerce building, Mrs. Helena Mum Redewill gave her charming recital last evening.

 The Bird of the Wilderness. Horsman Il Came With Song. La Forge 1 Found Him on the Mesa. :. Cadman Ecstacy Rummel
 Eugene Redewill rendered d number of enthusiastically appreciable selec- tions on the violin, among them being several of his own composition. He was accompanied by Mrs. Raymond Quinn. while Miss Merta Work ac- cOmpanied Mrs. Redewill
 Critics say that Mrs. Redewills pro- gram was an ambitious one, and agree that her effort was completely success full Nc. other group displayed her full toned voice so we'll as did that of the French folk songs. the context of which, the singer charmingly explain ] ed. 4. feature of MT. Redewilrs violin selections was his rendition of the aria Un-beldi from Madame Butterfly.

Of tests has been in progress in the hope
Of working out a maximum and mini

gasoline might be considered pure.
Should such a standard be fixed. Congress

PROTEST CURTAILMENT
OF SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
Rhode Island Avenue Citizens
Think Pupils and Teachers Need
Rest-Want Armor Plant Here.

That any curtailment Of the Christ
mas and Easter holidays in the public
schools 'fs most unwise. in view of the
necessity. in respect to both pupils and
teachers, Of these periods Of rela1a-
uon," was the substance Of a resolu-
ton adopted by the Rhode Island Ave-
nue. Suburban Citizens Association. at
a meeting last night in the Sherwood
Presbyterian Church.
The resolutions set forth that, while
the loss of two weeks Of the school
term by reason Of the delay in begin
ming is deplored. the association urges
that the holiday periods be not short
ened. A copy Of the resolutions Is to
be sent to the board Of education.
President s. s. Symons was author
not less than ten members to forward
a movement for the establishment Of
a library in the section. It was pro-
posed by the committee on schools
that a working library be made avail
able when the new school building is
erected in the section.
The association urged that Kearney
street. from goth street to Rhode
Island avenue. be graded and improved
and Goth street, from Jackson to Mon
roe SITcetS, 10 STducu anu uHpTONcu
and sidewalks laid on those streets.
AS there are many scholars in the
section attending the Central High
School and Wilson Normal School. the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany is to be requested to install at
least two cars, to run through, without
transfer. from the District line at
Mount Rainier to the terminus Of the
11th street line. It Is proposed that
the cars reach the 11th street terminus
at 8:45 o'clock.
President Symons urged the neces-
sity Of having Central avenue or Mon
roe street opened to connect on the
south side of Rhode Island avenue to
serve as a direct outlet for the resi-
dents on Brentwood road.
The association adopted resolutions
favoring Washington as the proper
place for the erection of the govern
ment armor plate plant.
Bristow Adams, former president of
the association. now residing in Ithaca,
N. Y. addressed the meeting and con-
graduated the association upon its
rapid growth.

Knowing the Worst.

Every morning John, the
granger, looked with sadness on
his corn, for it was in deadly
danger, by the hot winds scared
and torn Through the weary
weeks he'd titled it-only night
fall made him stop-hoping by
his toll to build it into something
like a crop. 1t was perishing for
water, and the heavens leaked no
more; every day was hercer, hot
ter, than the day that went before.
And it seemed to John, the
granger, as he watched his corn
crop go, that henceforth he'd be
stranger to all things but grief
and woe. But when once sus-
pense was ended, and he knew
the crop was gone, Next years
crop may we'll be splendid, and
I'll bank on that" said John.
1.-TWO bad years don't come to-
gether-that would be too fierce,
gadzooks! So next year we'll
have such weather as we read
about in books" Thus the buoy
ant, hopeful mortal rises when
the worst is known to surprise
you with a chortle when you're
looking for a groan.

Old NEWSPAPERS To BUY
PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
Efforts of School Children, Following
Suggestion by The Star, Expected
to Bring Results.

How many old newspapers will 1t
take to buy q tether ball outfit?
How many must be saved before a
school can buy foot ball: a basket
ball; an indoor base ball outfit; a
swing?
These are questions which hundreds
of school children in various parts of
Washington are asking. They are the
children who are daily gathering old
newspapers from their relatives.
friends and neighbors. to help enlarge
the school playground fund. The plan
of gathering the discarded newspapers
and selling them through the schools
has been fully sanctioned by the Of
ncials Of the schools. The general plan
was suggested by Tho Star.
Additional Equipment Assured.
That many schools will have added
equipment as the result of
the efforts of the pupils Of those
schools already seems assured by the
enthusiasm which some of the young
sters have displayed. Although the
school session does not begin until
Monday, and not before that time will
directions be issued as to what days
papers are to be brought to the re-
spective schools, hundreds of pounds of
old papers have already been collected
by those children most anxious to see
their schools heading the list in this
Inquiries regarding the Washington
plan for the conservation of paper stock
and at the same time helping the chill
dren with their playgroundS have been
received from a number of quarters
now, and 1t appears that the plan may
become nationwide. This means that
enormous quantities of paper material
which might otherwise be burned, de-
stroyed or lost, now Will be saved.
Officials of the schools plan to take
up details regarding the collection OF
the paper next week. AS soon as the
collection days for the various schools
are announced 1t will be possible to tel
how hard the pupils at each of the
schools are working to help their play.
