MORE TIME IS GRANTED
FOR ''GOOD CHEER" BAGS
Christmas Packages for Soldiers and
Sailors to Be Shipped
November l.

More than two weeks extension of time
has been granted those who are providing
and filing Christmas good cheer bags
for soldiers and sailors abroad, a work
in which some thirty local churches are
participating and one which Mrs. I+awton.
wife of the late Gen. Lawton. inaugurated
through the Church of the Covenant,
which has since taken the lead and is
serving as a base for these supplies.
The original date set by which all bags
to be sent were to be in hand was tomor-
row morning; this has been extended to
November !. when the shipment will be
made.-The work is strictly undenomina-
tional and the Church of the Covenant is
open daily to receive completed bags and
fill others provided for by cash contribu-
tons. Instructions as to their making
and filling is given each Tuesday and
Friday morning. 1t is hoped that this
time extension will materially increase the
number of ba gs to be forwarded. The bags
contain large number of small articles
in the way of luXuries, and each is also to
contain a card bearing Christmas good
wishes written in either English or French
and signed with the name of the sender
to give the desired personal touch.
One interesting bag has been brought in
by a very small boy, who admitted with
great pride that he had made and filled
it himself Articles for their contents are
sold at wholesale prices at the church
Tuesday and Friday mornings.

ANACOSTIANS TO SEEK
CAPITAL TRACTION CARS
Citizens Association Decides tc
Urge Extension Of Lines to
Suburb.

| The Capital Traction Company Will
be urged to extend its lines to the
suburb of Anacostia, in order to give
adequate street car service to that sec
ton and also to supply a part of the
District now without this service. This
was decided upon at the meeting of the
Anacostia Citizens Association last
night. Maurice Otterback presented
the matter. and in SO doing severely
criticised the Washington Railway and
Electric Company for the present car
service. His complaint not only dealt
with the poor schedule. but also the
condition of majority of the cars.
which. he said. were dirty and poorly
ventilated.
1t is proposed to ask~tEe Capital Trac-
tion Company to extend its lines back
into the suburb and furnish service for
a large area now without any trans
portation facilities. DR.. Joseph j. Mum
dell is chairman of committee of five
to wait upon the utilities commission
and the Capital Traction Company:
The selection of w. Gwynn Gardiner
as District Commissioner was unanl-
mously Endorsed by the ASSOCIATION. ana
a letter was authorized to be sent the
on his appointment.
A letter was read from the United
States Army engineers office. statlhs
that the work of retaining the Ana
costa flats in the section from Poplar
point to the bridge had been completed.
and all affairs pertaining to future de-
velopment of that section had been
turned over to the Commissioners. The
letter stated that there was no reason
why permanent improvement could not
be made of this section without waiting
for the remainder of the reclamation n
work to be completed The association
will now urge that the scheme as at first
outlined, that of using the space for
park purposes, be carried into effect.
| Several graholithic sidewalks will be
requested, chiefly on both sides of Pleas
ant street from Nichols avenue to 18th
street and on both sides of Valley place
from Mount View place to High street.
1t was explained that new sidewalks
are greatly needed on both of these
streets.

The Day of Peace.

The war will end some blessed
day. some day the strife VIII
cease: the kings will put their
guns away and boost the boon OF
peace. The captains then Will
drop. the tools which made the
world forlorn. and drive their
teams of sorrel mules along the
rows of corn. While still the
tide of battle rolls, while still we
hear the din. it seems to countless
weary souls that war has always
been. Three years, they say, the
strife has ragged across the
mourning seas, but it would seem
that wars been waged for three
eternities. The days that reek OF
blood and tears pass slowly Ger
the stage; to weary hearts three
CORY years become an endless
age. We're looking forward to
the day when peace with honor
comes, when kings will put their
swords away, and soak their bat
tie drums. | long to see the
colonies drop their shining snlck-
ersnees, and buckle down to
raise a crop of beans and early
peas. l long to see field marshals
hang their batons from nail, and
then get busy with the gang, to

Toorganize October Is.

After the new board is organized and
gets its program under way the Wash
ington question may be taken up if it
becomes critical. October Is today was
set as the date when the new board,
appointed after series of hearings
last week. the scope of which was out
lind in The Star, will organize. Head
ed by Otto NJ Eidlitz, New York
builder, the committee members will
meet on that day at the Office of Sec
retary of War Baker.
Secretary Baker said the council
vested the board with wide powers
and expects report soon showing
each community's needs and other
local conditions. Four other members
Of the board will be announced when
it then probably will call to Washing
ton representatives of cities where con-
ditions are known to be bad. Inspec-
ton trips may be made to few COM
munities.
The defense councils action follows
the recommendations of the advisory
commission, which spent several days
last week hearing reports of a special
housing section of the labor commit
tee. other students of housing problems
and representatives of government de-
partments directly interested in war
contracts. In many cases. it was re-
ported. production is hampered be-
cause workmen cannot find decent
homes for themselves and their fam
lilies. Advocates of government fnan-
cling of community housing argued that
their plan was as fully justified as gov
ernment loans for building of plants
for machinery and other non-human
elements of production.
President Wilson is known to be
much interested in the housing move
ment as a practical war measure. and
it was at his suggestion that the de-
fense councils original investigation
was made. He has received detailed
reports of British government measures
to provide proper living conditions for
employees of nlunition works. In Great
Britain the government either lent
money to Industries for company houses.
or in some cases contributed part of
the ne cessary funds and guaranteed a
profit to other investors.
House building may be started on a
small scale within a few weeks with
money available for emergency funds
of the War Department and shipping
board, it is said, and Congress at the
next session probably will be asked for
specific appropriations
