LARGER, FUNDS NEEDED

Completion of the Anacostia river
reclamation project will be taken
up in an intensive campaign by the
river and harbors and the park and
highways committees of the Wash
ington Board of Trade. it was learned
today.
Both committees and the entire
board. as well as citizens associa-
tions in this city, are said to believe
that this project should be carried
forward to early completion.
IN 1905" a member of the board
said today, "dredging operations
looking to the reclamation of the
marshes of the Anacostia river and
the Eastern branch were first started.
The plan proposed at that time con-
templated the improvement of this
historic stream, making it navigable
to Benning bridge, reclaiming the
marsh area clear to the District line:
the construction of beautiful boule-
ward and driveway, and the proper
treatment of the park along lines
similar to Potomac Park
More Money Needed.
Work on this immense project has
progressed as rapidly as the limited
yearly appropriations would permit
Congress has appropriated $150,000 to
continue the reclamation work for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1928.
This appropriation will enable the
United States engineer office to COM
plete dredging operations as far up
the river as Benning bridge.
Now this is the important point
When Benning bridge is reached the
operations must cease. Congress has
passed legislation prohibiting the
continuation of this wonderful prof.
health, prosperity and attractiveness
of the National Capital. No reason
has been advanced for this action.
Above the bridge, the area of the
Anacostia river clear to the District
line consists of wide ard extensive
flats, which in summer are covered
with a dense growth of grass and
wild oats.
Most of the sewage formerly fiow-
ing into this stream has been turned
into other channels by the new works
of the city, but the other objection
able matter, which has been accumu-
lating for many years, will continue
If natural processes alone are de-
pended upon.
Would Extend Work.
The result of this insanitary con-
dition is the prevalence of malarial
diseases in the portions of the city
which border the river. The reclama-
tion of the Potomac river fats indi-
Gates the wonderful improvement
which may be expected If this work
is permitted to be carried on to COM
pletion.
I'VE feel that it would be serious
mistake not to continue this reclama-
tion work all the way to the District
lineA Maj. M. c. Tyler of the Engi-
neer Corps. in charge of the prof.
ect, Is strongly in favor of doing
this work. and every citizens or
ganization is behind it. The entire
Board of Trade is backing the prof.
ect and we hope for favorable ac-
tion."
The two committees of the board
are expected to start work imme-
diately and to concentrate on this
project.

MAKING THE HOME ATTRACTIVE
By DOROTHY ETHEL WALSH.
A Simple Colored Initial Will Re.
juvenate Household Linen.

Household linen has . fascination
for the average woman. A real house
maker is happy when puttering
around the linen closet arranging
this pile of best" towels-this one
of tho new Christmas bath towels,
etc.
Il wish l could afford to have all
my linen marked with my initials"
is the complaint often heard and
when one is considering elaborate,
embroidered monograms the process
is an expensive one. But, mercy me!
there are many steps between un-
marked linen (bald, as one woman ex-
pressed it, and the monograms COW
eted.
It does give so much more personal
an air to household linen to sec
initials worked into it. A bathroom
well supplied with embroidered tow
els speaks of a good housekeeper, and
now that color has invaded the realm
of all household articles there is
really no excuse to have it otherwise
For it takes but the smallest
amount Of hardness with the needle
to execute one colored cross-stitch
initial on each towel, and yet the re-
suit is surprisingly fine. OF course.
the more clever you are with your
fingers the more that may be added
to the one initial. The young woman
in today's sketch, for instance, is hav-
ing a beautiful time dressing up her
linen with flowers, birds, etc.
