Economy Considered.

The many economies" says the re-
port, shown over the former plan
along the entire length of the pro-
posed parkway are SO pronounced and
satisfactory as to merit our unqualified
approval Furthermore. the negota-
tons with the Washington Gas Light
COMPANY and with the Chesapeake and
ONO Canal Company. the results Of
which are submitted herewith for con-
sIderation. hold forth promise of an
ultimate satisfactory solution of the
complicated problem affecting the prof.
ect where it touches upon the hold
ihsS or those corporations.
II Is especially satisfactory to note
that the restudy of this problem has
disclosed the possibility OF reducing
the amount Of property to nc taken by
about 1.S15.'G3 square feet. and that
tue government therefore will need to
purchase ONLY 3S per cent OF the area
needed for the parkway. The remain
;;n: AZ per cent is now owned by the
United states as streets. alleys and
reservations. This Will be seen in de-
tan by consulting the list of property
and the index map.
In conclusion we strongly urge that

although the NJ Street bridge Will
undoubtedly stand for some years more
there is some question as to whether
it should ever be rebuilt on its present
site. There is a strong argument in
favor of emitting it when no longer
safe. as investigation diScloseS the fact
that most of the heavy hauling cross
ing this bridge at the present time tx
from the waterside freight terminals
and that undoubtedly will eventually
cross Pennsylvania Avenue bridge.
IF it is decided to rebuild the NJ
Street bridge in this present location it
might be better to divert the George
town end to Olive street and use the
structure largely for driving traffic.
That part of the parkway immedi

a broad amphitheater-like velley. and.
when properly developed. would pre-
sent a very attractive appearance. A
properly designed and constructed
parkway through that section would
be a very great benefit to Washington
and to Georgetown.
The contemplated method of han
ding the contructive features in this
section will enable us to take less land
than was formerly planned and to save
a very considerable ultimate expense in
the final development of the park.

Physical and Legal Questions.

The situation, however. as regards
the Washington Gas Light Company
and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company, the two large corporations
occupying ground necessary for the
purposes of the United States in this
locality. is quite complicated and diff
cult, owing to the fact that these two
corporations occupy very nearly the
entire section of the valley between
the river and the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge and completely choke it in at
this vicinity. The physical and legal
questions raised by their long standing
occupation of these areas are so diff
ferent from other land problems occur
ring on the parkway beyond that it is
considered best to take up these two
cases separately.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company, by reason of being A public
service corporation and of having its
occupation of some of it's areas author
lied by original grants, is by far the
more difficult. It's solution furnishes
basis for the location of the park ex-
tension across the gas company's
property.

1T is seldom that large city has

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
Spend for the House.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

Not long ago a letter truly full OF
food for thought came under the writer's
eye. II was from young wife VINO
complained that. althotT n her husband
loved her and was der1ted to her, he
would not give her n ney enough to
buy anything for their house. Even de-
cent table linen was lacking. she said.
He thought that a growing bank account
ought to take the place of well furnish
ed house. In her mind as II did in his.
There are two ways of spending money
for ones house: one is extravagant, the
other is economical. in the best sense.
And the husband who thinks that bank
account can take the place of suftictent
and attractive furnishings is mistaken.
Most women have to live most of their
time In .their houses For most women
do the bulk of their own households
work. Therefore. they are entitled to
pleasant place to work, pleasant
place to entertain. The young house
keeper who does not even have enouhg
spending money for decent table linen
Is most decidedly under a disadvantage.
The wise housekeeper is the one who
makes a budget for household expenses.
This should be founded on experience and
on budgets of professional budget makers
such as one can get hold of through
various woman's magazines and clubs.
The man Of the house. too, should I'M
derstand the value Of such a budget
and should agree to try one out for a
year. OF course. any given budget will
need slight variation according to any
given family's wants.
With a budget as a basis, the house
keeper will know how much she can
AFFORD to spend on each department of
Observation-Disclosures for service. heat.
fuel. light. food clothing, etc. And part
of the money she spends will go for
equipment. This includes things bought
for the upkeep of the house. 1t is her
interesting task to apportiOn this given
sum into certain amounts for each room
in the house.
True economy consists in never letting
the house get run down. Buy when you
can get good values. and then you will
never have to pay the price for quick
shopping. The woman who has a linen
closet always sufficiently stocked will
not. when two trained nurses come in
to take charge OF an unexpected illness,
have to rush to the telephone to order
half dozen sheets and some new towels
at whatever price the shOpkeeper hap
pens to be asking that day.

Members of the Washington Section
Of the Jewish Women's Council were
addressed by Edward J. Ward, of the
United States Bureau of Education, at
their regular monthly meeting yester-
day afternoon in the lecture room of
Eighth Street Temple.
Mr.. Wards talk was devoted entirely

Congress for the passage of the john
son community forum bill, now before
Congress, and which provides that the
public schools shall be open to the pub
lie at all times, when not in conflict
with the regular school duties.
He said that there was but one solu-

was education. not simply for the school
teachers to teach the children, but to
work through the community center.

speaker, and Vera Corey played several
