Leaves Room Of Birth
For First Time in
Over Fifteen Years

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Harriet
Sears, ffteen-year-old cripple, saw
the big out-of-doors for the first
time today when she was taken from
the squalid East Side room in which
she was born to ST. Charles Hospital
for Crippled Children, where special
lists will treat her and nuns will
seek to train her undeve1oped mind.
Harriet's parents admitted to well
fare workers who found the girl
that they had never permitted her to
leave her room during the fifteen
years of her life. They thought it
would be best for her to remain
constantly indoors, they said.
Physicians say the girl appears to
be bright, although her education has
progressed only so far as counting to
six, and saying the first four letters
of her "A B C's."

SEEK zON|NC CHANGES

Modification of coming regulations
In certain portions of the northwest
were asked by the Piney Branch Cit
liens Association at its meeting last
night in the Iowa Avenue Methodist
Church. 18th and Emerson streets
northwest.
President Edgar B. Henderson. who
also is chairman of the associations
committee on Zoning, outlined the
regulations and explained their
meaning. It was resolved. and the
resolution forwarded to Commission
er Kutz, that the rule allowing busi-
ness houses to be built all along
18th street be modified to prohibit
their construction between Spring
road and Buchanan street on 18th
street and on Georgia avenue as far
north as Kansas avenue.
Protests were made to the rule con-
corning business houses, as it was
suggested that residential sections
would depreciate in value through the
presence of grocery and small mer-
camille establishments throughout the
neighborhood. 1t further was sug-
gested that the residence section
would not need the stores for twenty
Ave years, and by that time amend
ments could be drafted to the coming
laws.
A resolution was passed suggesting
that no block" houses-residences
without yards on either side-be al
lowed on 10th street, or in that area
between 18th street and Rock Creek
Park. the same rule to apply north of
Decatur street between 10th and 18th
streets and north of Buchanan street
between Georgia avenue and 18th
street.

Of Fourth of July entertainment for
the Piney Branch section was re-
ceived. An expenditure of $435 was
reported against a sum of 1895 raised
through house canvass. The
deficit of $40 was appropriated out of
the association treasury.
