in competition with European manu-
facturers strictly on price basis.
IF we adopt the European
practice Of cheapening the quality,

ANACOSTIA URGED
AS STADIUM SITE
Citizens Association Suggests
Tract in Park as Ideal
Location.

Location of the proposed stadium
for the National Capital in a section
Of Anacostia Park was urged at a
meeting of the Anacostia Citizens
Association last night. Accepting the
suggestion of DR.. George G. Havenner,
the president of the organization that
section E of the park would be an
ideal location for the stadium, the
members Of the association instructed
the secretary to inform Col. G.. o.
Sheriff. and the National Capital Park
Commission of their desire to locate
the stadium in AnacOstia.
1t was pointed out that section Z
OF Anacostia Park is composed of Sc
acres and is bounded by the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Pennsylvania
railroads, that Pennsylvania avenue
serves as an approach, that there is
parking space for 10000 cars and that
there is adequate street car service to
take care of large crowds.
The proposal contained in the Gasque
bill that the citizens elect the mem
berS of the school board was indorsed
by the association, which, however,
did not approve the election ma
chinery proposed in the bill.
The commissioners will be mott
fed by the organization that the
gravel streets in Anacostia are not
in proper condition, particularly
Sixteenth street hill. The assoca-
tion indorsed a recent resolution
adopted by the South Washington
Citizens Association calling for the
removal Of the gas works directly
across the river from Anacostia.

Mr.. Lindsay has his own opinions
of things. and he doesn't mind giving
them. At the outset of his rather col
orful career as a poet he tramped
about the country, particularly the
South, preaching his gospel of democ-
racy and reciting his songs for a
livelihood. Earlier publications of his
verses were interspersed with accounts
OF his adventures. Recently he has
been giving recitals to packed houses
in England and this country.
Concerning his poem, Bryan, Bryan,
Bryan, Bryan" which he recited, he
had this to say: Il wrote this poem
in admiration for the man who in
three months of his presidential cam
paign spoke to every person in the
whole country on behalf of democ-
