PLAN new FORM OF
COMMUNITY WORK
Organization Board Incorpor-
ated Under Laws of
District.

Washington is to be headquarters
for a newly organized community cen.
ter movement
Many of the experiments in this
community work, principally in con-
nection with public schools, will be
demonstrated here. Miss Margaret
Wilson will be an active worker in
the project.
These facts became known today
Following the incorporation Of the
Community Organization Board under
the laws Of the District of Columbia.
The purpose OF the board will be
to further the work Of community
organization-and activity through the
use OF the free public schools through
out the United States for community
purposes. All forms of organized CO.
operation viii be encouraged and fos-
tered.
IL Founder Of Beard.
b. W. Law, OF New York. is the
founder of the board. He and the fol-
lowing are its incorporators: Miss
Margaret Woodrow Wilson, DR.. P. p.
claxton, United States Commissioner
Of Education; Congressman william
Kent. Oliver p. Newman, president of
the Board of commissioners of the
District; Justice Frederick L. Siddons.
OF the District Supreme Court; Corpo-
ration Counsel Conrad syme and Ed
yard ]. Ward, and Henry z. jackson,
of the division OF community organ
ization, United States Bureau Of Ed
ucation.
The board was organized by B. W.
Law as a living memorial for his
son. He has given $4,000 to start q
fund for this nation wide movement
for the promotion OF the community
center movement.
President Favors Movement.
President Wilson is heartily in
favor of the movement. He has
been quoted as saying: at Is neces-
sary that a simple means be found
by which, through, an interchange OF
points OF view. we may get together;
for the whole process OF modern life,
Is q process in which we must ex-
clude Observation-Disclosures, exclude
bring all. men into com
mon council, and so discover what
il the common interest. That Is the
problem OF modern life"
He Is aloo in favor of the use Of
public schools as the natural gather
ing places for. these community or
ganlzatlons.
"They are public buildings" he says
In referring 10 the schools. They
are conveniently distributed. They
belong to the communities. They
furnish ideal places in which to as
semble and discuss public affairs.
They are just what we need"
School Principal Center.
The purpose of the newly formed
board will be to push such legislation
as will make the schoolhouse the
natural gathering place for the COM
first. The next step will be
10 organize the community into a
body. a body OF the community, with
regular paid officers, If possible.
The superintendent of schools as
the logical head OF the community
is a pet idea OF Miss
Margaret Wilson, one of the incorpo-
rators Of the board. He is the man
10 whom the people in the community
ook for the proper education of their
children, she says. and knows the
real needs OF the community better
han others. The argument also is
brought forth that the man to whom
people will intrust the education of
heir children Is a man who Is able to
head the community as its chief Of
icer.

Science has aided in simplifying the
banishing of hairy growth from the

yet devised consists OF applying a
delatone paste to the hairy surface

by mixing some water with a little

Is removed and the skin washed every

POPULAR MEDICINE

Intelligent Observation of Rules

crease Illness.
BY DIR. LEONARD X. HIRsHBERG.

ny DR. LEONAhD n. HlhShb6fhu'
Wrapped in fluffy neckwear, fur
boas, high collars and other means OF
curtaining the neck from view, a
woman can play a fair game with
ones doubts as to her age. However,
as the throat is the very first spot
where the years begin to trace their
indelible print, IL is often useless to
attempt to avoid observing eyes and
scrutinizing glances when gowns
with low collars are worn.
The tiny wrinkles which gather just
beneath the chin at the approach of
middle age, are the most difficult lines
to erase, and once they are given
Roadway they can seldom be obliter-
ated without the greatest of attention
and care.
Unfortunately for woman's peace OF
mind, it is most difficult to tell just
when these tiny lines under the throat
are going to appear. Some women
have them at the age of .twentyS 9th
ers have no sign of a wrinkle at twice
that age. So, because of this uncer-
tainty, it is a wise woman who knows
her own ages requirements OF beauty.
Avoid Tight Collars.
After the early twentIes are reached
a good deal OF care will not go amiss,
although the time expended on the
throat each day may seem good
deal of trouble to the average woman.
After all, beauty cannot be retained
without some sacrifice which, as
matter of fact, will repay the beauty
seeker tenfold.
Nothing adds more to q woman's
good appearance than a graceful white
throat upon which the head is well
poised Even an ugly woman may
appear strikingiy pretty IL the col
umn Of her"throat 10 perfect, BUT a
pretty woman whose throat has been
neglected. never appears beautiful.
Tight, high collars, as well as other
tight apparel, may do much to cause
an ugly throat. Lack of sufficient
deep breathing and internal ills also
do their share in marring its beauty
and shape.
With these facts in view, exercises
that will tend to strengthen the chest
and throat are very beneficial. Deep
breathing, for instance, plays a major
role in this pursuit. This exercise
may be taken in two ways, standing
before an open window on rising or
