BILL GOES
TO>SENATE
! D. c. BODY
Total Cost of Three Big Tracts
Will Be Slightly Under
One Million Dollars.

The extension of the Washington
park system, so as to develop other
branches of Rock Creek Park, is
proposed in bill introduced in the
Senate today by Senator Ball, chair
man, of the Senate District Com
mittee.
The measure proposes to purchase
17.2l acres of the Klingle Road
Valley tract at a cost Of 10000;
19.4 acres of the Piney Branch tract
at a cost of $165,OO0, and 81.76
acres of the Patterson tract at q
cost Of 100000.
Site Of Camp Meigs.
The latter tract is the site of Camp
Meigs. near Florida avenue and Fifth
street northeast, and Senator Ball
believes that 1t should be converted
into Fairgrounds and athletic fields
Tor the District public school system.
The measure has the Endorsement of
the Board of Trade and Chamber Of
commerce. 1t will go to the Senate
District Committee for consideration.
These three pieces of ground are a
part OF the Mcmillan plan for a circuit
or parks throughout the city. If Con-
~,
Washington will have one of the larg.
est and most beautiful circuit of parks
In the United States.
Has Swimming Pool.
For many years Mrs. Susie Root
Rhodes. supervisor of Fairgrounds,
has advocated the purchase of the
Patterson Tract. On this tract is now
located swimming pool, which could
easily be converted into use for chill
dren.
The tract is now being used by the
Knights of Columbus, which organiza-
ton has mapped out several baseball
diamonds. Before the ground was
converted into a camp. the tract was
used by local football teams.
The acquisition of the Klingle
Valley and Piney Branch tracts was
advocated last year by Melvin -.
Hazen, surveyor for the District. of
Columbia. ~

had wife like other women who
never stay in the house. Look at
that Mrs. Nathan Lepenson! I don't
believe that woman is ever home. Be-
lieve me, she's older than 7 am. The
way she looks, like my daughter, so
young she dresses, and such clothes.
She wore velvet dress today, costs
at least couple Of hundred dollars"
'No wonder their daughter got such
swell fellow for husband! If I
dressed like her I'd have more of a
Show" said the older daughter.
IF l was as rich as Nathan Lepen-
son l wouldn't have no kick coming"
sighed Mr.. Malinberg. "Why, that
man is a millionaire"
"Some people are lucky" sighed
Mrs. Malinberg enviously.
Softly, with catlike quietness, the
elegant car of Mr.. Nathan Lepenson
drew up in front of his handsome
residence. Deferentially the chauf-
feur assisted Mr.. Lepenson to alight,
and held the door open. Laboriously
Mr.. Lepenson dragged his equity
limbs up the few steps. Hastily a
maid appeared and assisted him in
divesting himself Of his coat.
"No one homer" he asked as a
matter of course, anticipating the
usual answer.
"No, SIR" was the reply. "Mrs.
Lepenson phoned us how she won:
be home until late and for you to
have supper, sir"
Moodily he seated himself at the
large table. Without relish he con-
sumed the meager food placed before
him, for, according to the physicians
prescription, Mr.. Lepenson was on a
diet. Quickly he consumed his meal.
Then he wandered off to the smoking
room. Hurriedly he glanced over the
headlines of the newspaper. Then he
scanned the days mail, bills, requests
for donations, tickets for charity
benefits. Tickets for benefit per-
Torrance in Yiddish theatre attract
ed his attention. His face lightened
up for moment as he regarded them.
He recalled those early days of his,
when he had small store, which he
had kept open every day of the week
except the Sabbath, and when his sole
enjoyment consisted in going to the
Yiddish theatre with his wife Satur-
to have those days back again. If
only he could persuade his wife to go
with him amongst his former friends.
This time he would insist that she
go with him to the Yiddish theatre.
After all, the performances at the
theatres which he occasionally at
tended to please his wife did not ap-
peal to him so much as a homely Yid-
dish play. He toyed with the tickets
listlessly. Then he tossed them aside.

a Yiddish show before"

furtively as if to evade the tormenting

Strengthened perceptibly, his eyes
lighting up joyfully. For he was go
ing home. Meyer Schlankman could
we'll appreciate his home. For eight
years he had been homeless, estranged
from his wife and three children,
whom he had left in Russia while he
went to establish home for them in
America. Just when he had managed
to save enough money to send for his
family the great war put stop to his
hopes. For two years he had been
frantic, for he received no letters.
And then letter came, tragic letter
of suffering and want. Yet Meyer
Schlankman rejoiced, for his dear ones
were alive. He sent them money.
Ages of suspense, of anxious waiting
followed, and then came a telegram
that they had arrived.
Now he and his little family were
reunited. He had left three babies in
Russia, the youngest a few months
old, and now even she was attending
public school.
He rushed up the stairs of the two
story house to the upper flat, where
he lived, gleefully, rejoicing in his
youth and his strength.
His children greeted him with eff
fusive tenderness, that strange papa,
who had been merely mysterious
name to them for so many years. He
listened eagerly to their tales that
they had to relate, of all the new
things that they had learned during
the day, and of the school and the
teachers and the school mates, inter-
spersing their conversation with
quaint old world expressions. His
wife beamed with joy, so she set upon
the table the hot dishes, tid-bits that
she remembered he had liked.
After supper they all sat around the
stove, the children with their school
books, the wife with mending and
the father with a Yiddish newspaper,
from which he read excerpts to them
whenever he read anything that par
ticularly interested him.
"Sonitchka," he said to his wife,
"listen, I know this man." Then he
read: "Mr. and Mrs. Louis Malinberg
celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding
anniversary at the Grand View Hotel
Over hundred friends Of the couple
were entertained at a sumptuous ban
quet. Mr.. Malinberg donated one
thousand dollars to charity in honor
of the occasion"
"Those are lucky people," sighed
Mr.. Schlankman. "To be able to give
thousand dollars for charity! You
can imagine that he has some change
left. You ought. to see his store! I'll
point it out to you sometime. Eth, if
had store like that I would have
nothing to wish for"
"Let them have it and use it in good
health," replied his wife placidly.

again and sped on viciously, escaping

sharply, ego in the bathroom and

Somewhat Modified, he stepped into
the dining room a few minutes later,
his appearance slightly improved.
"How is business, old man ?" quer-
led his son in an attempt to engage
his father in an amiable conversation
preparatory to request for funds.
Business is rotten" replied Mr..
Malinberg succinctly. "What kind of
a supper you got here?" he queried
with rising wrath as he gazed at the
delicatessen lunch spread out on the
table.
"You know it's wash day today"
retorted his wife, "and I can't expect
the girl to cook, too. It's hard
enough to keep the help. You have
to treat them like they were your
