CIVIC SETTLEMENT
. IN NEED OF S11,0|)D
Neighborhood House Appeals
for Help in Carrying on
Many Varied Activities.

Neighborhood House, the Oldest set
tlement in Washington. is appealing
for $4,000 with which to meet the
running expenses of 1922. and for an
additional $1,000 to cover necessary
repairs to the roof.
This house has been known to old
Washingtonians for many years as
tie place which makes rags into
handwoven rugs. 1t is famous also
for producing one Of the artistic
achievements Of the year in it's spring
festival
Great Help to Mothers.
The Day Nursery of Neighborhood
House is one of it's important activ-
tiles. Children under six years Of
age are cared for during the day, if
their mothers must work to support
the family. Many of the small
a short time. while their mothers are
in a hospital or are recovering from
some illness. These mothers are able
to recover quickly, knowing that
their babies are well cared for.
One-third Of the nursery expense is
carried by the Mount Vernon Semi
nary graduates yearly gift of s400.
non alumnae are working on stand
ard nursery clothes, which each child
wears during the day. These chill
dren thrive under the routine of daily
bath. nap and model lunch, which are
supplied by the nursery.
Clubs for Young Folks.
Boys and girls of all ages have
their clubs at Neighborhood House
The boys club work is so heavy that
r,,1l
supervise the volunteer leaders and
plan constructive programs for each
group. The small boys have their
own clubrOoms, where some groups
meet every afternoon and evening.
The older boys use two rooms in an
borhood House. Here they secure
wholesome recreation, and learn fair
play and teamwork through the club
life.
These are only two of the ac-
tivities at Neighborhood House. The
branch library. Washington's first, is
opened every Monday evening by
volunteer librarians. 1t circulates
over thousand books a month. and
is also the headquarters for educa
tional exhibits of all kinds.
Other Activities.
The stamp savings work has turn
ed the settlement Office into small
bank, where small savings are de-
posted and recorded by the pasting
Of stamps in a book.
Industrial work has always been
feature of Neighborhood House. The
sewing school instructs lis girls in
sewing and dressmaking; the car
penter's shop is busy constantly on
new orders and repair work; sewing,
dyeing and costume-making are done
on order, and the hand-woven rugs
are familiar to all Washingtonians.

SEES U. S. AUTHORITIES
DERELlCT IN SNOW CRISIS
M. D. Smith, Replying to Repre-
sentative Mondell's Criticism, Cites
Uncleared Government Sidewalks.

House Leader Mondell today received
a letter calling attention in a spirit
of criticism to the fact that practi-
cally all of the sidewalks on which
snow was not cleared off promptly
were along government reservations.
and not along private homes This
letter was signed by Milton D.
Smith, 211 18th street southeast and
was prompted by a speech made in
the House last week by Representa-
tive Mondell, censuring the property
owners for not showing more civic
pride. and which was reported in
The Star.
In his letter to Representative
Mondell, Mr.. Smith says, in part:
You live within a short walk of
Washington's aristocratic Dupont
Circle, and in your walk to the Cap
itol you might have noticed some
things 1 have, namely-the only bad
walking on Connecticut avenue from
Q street south to Lafayette Park, was
on the pavements at the government
side of Dupont Circle. the small tri-
angle at Connecticut avenue. 18th and
N streets. around the Witherspoon
statue. and the walks around Farra-
gut square.
ALSO the small government tri-
angle at Goth street, o street and New
Hampshire avenue is, or was un-
cleaned up to 12 o'clock Friday night
ITO show that there was no dis.
elimination between the wealthy
northwest and poorer sections / want
to call your attention also to the fac,
that from where l get off the cars to
walk to my residence. a distance OF
three blocks. the only sidewalk un.
cleaned at 1o pm. Friday was the
sidewalk around government park
at Massachusetts avenue, 18th and E
streets southeast.
'Now. Mr.. MondeIl. in no sense am
I a 'knocker.' but I think that the
citizens 60 of Washington have
proved themselves close to 100 per
cent efficient during our recent heavy
snow.
"Practically all the small property
owners and occupants of small mod.
crate priced homes cleaned their side
walks. and. as YOU state. the half
miilion-dollar mansions left the
we1ks to the tender mercies of the
elements.
THE government should certainly
keep its walks clean if they expect tt
set a good example for Others"

were promoted to high school at the
beginning of the second semester
last Wednesday. On this question
The Star has ruled that the con-
testants will be grouped according
to the classes they attended during
the first semester.
Under this ruling an eighth grade
pupil who was grouped in the Junior
class when the contest opened will
remain in the junior group, regard
less of the fact that he has been
promoted to high school. On the
other hand. high school student
who was grouped in the senior class
when the contest opened will remain
in the senior group. despite the fact
that he was a member of the Feb
ruary graduating class.
The ruling was made by The Star
essay contest editor because it would
be manifestly unfair to make an
eighth grade pupil promoted to high
school submit his essay in the senior
group after having prepared it for
the junior class. 1t would be equally
unfair to debar students who grad
uated from the high schools last
week from submitting their compo-
sitions after having prepared for the
writing of them for several months
while in school.

McouIGG ASKS FOR FRANCHISE
(Continued from Page ll


Asked as to what effect the grant.
ing of the franchise would have upon
development here, Mr.. McQuigg re.
marked that it would mean that with.
in possibly thirty days after the fran.
chise was granted, work would be
started on the Bunting well.
! The one thing which is standing in
the way Of the franchise at this time,
according to our notion, is the pros
pect of the Seward County Oil &
Gas Company bringing in well
north of town. 1t is true that this
is local company and entitled to
consideration. However, we cannot
see the wisdom Of simply waiting un-
| til this company gets gas well be-
| fore letting a franchise. We do not
know and have no assurance that this
company would care to engage in the
i distribution of gas in Liberal, neither
do we know what they would be will
ing to charge for such gas should they
find it.
To our way of thinking, this pos
sibility should not be considered SER
iously unless the company will ask
for a franchise, specify a rate, as has
Mr.. McQuigg, and then we would fav-
or giving them an equal opportunity
with McQuigg.
We want to be understood as being
a booster for the home company, in
which we are financially interested,
but we do not feel that personal in
terests should be considered in this
matter. 1t seems to us to be purely
matter of business, and should be
handled in a business-like manner.
Liberal wants natural gas for fuel
and Just as quickly as possible. We
have waited now almost two years
and it will be another year, the best
we can do, so there is no use in wait
ing longer unless we have something
better in sight
If we know that the Seward Coun-
ty Oil & Gas Company is going to be
able to complete their well right
away, that they will put their gas in
to Liberal at rate equally as low as
Mr.. McQuigg has quoted, we would
be willing to give them every chance
to make good, but we do not feel like
we should sit and wait not knowing
