APPEAL ISSUED
To GIVE BOYS
HOLIDAY
The Boys Club Camp WIN
Open July Funds
Needed Now

Eleven small dollars, Good Eel
lows Of Washington, viii give some
deserving boy more than eleven
big days of enjoyment at the Boys
Club Of Washington camp, which
will be established on the grounds
OF the exclusive Congressional
Country Club July /.
This is the gist OF an appeal
made today by r. v. Thomson,
superintendent of the Boys Club,
who will be in charge of the camp
and who says that he can accom-.
modate seventy.five boys at the
camp.
A number Of Good Fellows have
already come forward in response to
the appeal made through The Wash.
tngton Times, but more are needed.
With boys being drowned daily
because they have no proper places
to go in swimming 1t is pointed out
that the contributing of $11 by Good
Fellows may not only afford a boy
a good time in camp but save his
life inasmuch as there will be a
swimming hole at the camp which
will be properly supervised.
Not only is the Congressional
Country Club donating the use Of
its grounds for the camp. but 1t is
also building a kitchen, storehouse
and office for the camp.
Superintendent Thomson says the
Good Fellows are needed only for
boys between the ages Of ten and
fourteen because boys fourteen and
over will be able to earn their way
through the camp by caddying for
members Of the Congressional
Country club.

To
USE GAS
TAXES
Commissioners Must Wait on
Congress to List Streets
For Betterments

The District Commissioners
have no authority in law to ap-
propriate for street improvement
from the gasoline tax fund, it was
held today by Corporation Counsel
Francis H. Stephens.
Although proceeds from the 2
cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline are
to be credited exclusively to the
District of Columbia for use in
improving and repaving streets,
the money can be expended only
for streets designated by Con-
gress and the cost of the i'm
provement is also limited by Con-
gressional action, Stephens held.
Funds May Pile Up.
Thus. II Congress should fail to
designate a list of streets to be
repaired from the proceeds of the
gasoline tax during any fiscal year,
the District Commissioners would
be powerless to utilize sthe fund,
which would merely pile UP in the
District Golfers until Congress chose
to act.
The Commissioners. under the
gasoline tax law now on the books.
may only recommend to Congress
a list Of streets to be repaired with
funds.
Congress can cut this list in any
way it chooses or insert streets not
designated by the Commissioners.
1t can restrict the total amount to
be expended from the fund in any
way it sees fit. it is held.
Free Hand Sought.
It Is anticipated that an effort
VIII be made during the coming
session of Congress to free the
hands Of the Commissioners in this
respect.
1t is commended that the proceeds
from the tax can be used, under
laws for only one purpose, the re-
pair and improvement Of District
streets.
] The only restriction upon the
amount of improvement is the
physical restriction Of the amount
Of tax collected.
The only remaining legislative
function is the designation of the
streets upon which the funds are
to be expended and the amounts
which may be used for each project.
1t is the opinion of District Of
ficials that this is a function which
the District government can per-
form more efficiently than Congress.

For on Christmas Day that popular

For on Christmas Day that popular
playhouse will offer Buster Keaton in
his latest, greatest and without ques
ton, funniest comedy feature, "The
Navigator" This picture has broken
all records for attendance wherever
it was shown, and Hamilton will find
itself right in line without exception.
That everybody will flock to the Pal
ace on Christmas Day is foregone
conclusion. The only problem is how
everybody will get seated. Along
with "The Navigator" the Palace has
already distributed Buster Keaton
hats, as we'll as "life-savers," the lat
ter for those whose heart is easily
affected For there are thrills galore,
and the laughter is continuous from
beginning to end without let-up. The
Palace theatre lobby has already been
appropriately decorated in honor OF
the holiday season, and the decora-
tions are in line with the policy of
this theatre, plain but effective, with
out any of the so-called gingerbread
garlands. Of course, the stage pre-
sentation for Christmas Day and until
the first of the New Year will be in
keeping with the times.
The added features for Christmas
Day have been selected with pains
taking care and discrimination.
Music by Glen Wortendyke's popular
orchestra will be better than ever,
with special care and attention given
to the Yuletide spirit And all in all,
this holiday presentation of the Pal
ace theatre will surpass anything ever
attempted or undertaken along these
lines heretofore By the way, "The
Navigator is NOT for folks who
have weak heart.
Indications are that Hamilton's
youngsters are in for a mighty fine
time between Christmas and New
Years. Not alone that vacation will
be on hand for IL days; so far already
three free shows have been promised
to the youngsters, all to be held at
the Palace theatre. The Journal will
provide one of these treats; the
Strauss Clothing and Shoe Co. the
other, and the Palace theatre itself
the third. Further details will ap-
pear in next weeks Press.
