CONGRESS BLAMED
FOR LACK OF MAINS
Rhode Island Avenue Citi-
zens' Body Hears Charges
Against Solons.

Short -sightedness on the part Of
Congress was declared responsible for
the lack of water and sewer connec-
tions in many parts of the city. at
meeting Of the Rhode Island Avenue
Citizens Association in Sherwood
Presbyterian Church. .Twenty-fourth
street and Rhode Island avenue
northeast, last night.
Builders OF new houses Immediately
received the connections they desire,
but owners of property not having
water and sewer Improvements have
to wait some times for years before
getting these facilities, it was said.
It was pointed out that sewer and
water mains frequently have been ex-
tended to land not improved in an.
ticipation Of early development.
Seek Swimming Pool.
With the possibility of Col. c. o.
Eherrill'S plan for a series Of SWIM
ming pools becoming q reality. the
advisability Of having one of these
pools located on the John Burrows
School playground will be urged
upon the Commissioners. There are
no bathing facilities convenient to
Woodbridge, 1t was said.
William S. Torbert. chairman of
the committee on laws and legisla-
tion. reported that an effort would be
made during the coming session of
Congress to have the Borland law re-
pealed or modified and urged the as
sociation to support the effort. The
Borland Act Is in conflict with the
present gasoline tax law, he said. He
expressed the hope that the Borland
measure would at least be modified
SO that property holders would not
be assessed for resurfacing or repair
Ing surfaced roadways after once
having paid for the original work.
Seek Child Protection.
Because individual police officers
have disregarded complaints lodged
with them with respect to various
violations, the secretary. was directed
to communicate with the captain of
No. Il precinct, and request enforce
ment of the law, the two main ques-
tions being the burning of trash and
the excessive speed of trucks on Twen-
tieth street, creating a menace to the
lives of the many school children. The
Police Department will also be asked
to close one block to traffic In the
vicinity of the portable schools at Carl
ton and Central avenues or place Of.
ficers there to protect the children. It
was brought out that the play space
to the rear Of the schools is too full
OF weeds to be used and the pupils are
compelled to use the streets.
The assocition reiterated its plea
for the paving of the space between
the street car tracks on Rhode Island
avenue from Fourth to Twelfth
streets. New members elected were
Jack A Foronoff, George A. Billings,
Floyd A. Ross. Thomas P. Byron, c.
g. Holmes, Raymond Zepp, Gilbert N.

DIRECTOR DWAN TURNS
ARCIIEOL OGIST

The cabaret Is no recent inven-
ton, according to Allan Dwan,
motion picture director, who has
just finished Paramount film
entitled might Life Of New
York, Delving back into the
merry customs Of several CEN
turtles ago, Dwan found that
Paris was responsible for those
festive haunts Of pleasure seekers
that are now known commonly al
cabarets. Francois YilIon and
Rabelhis were two Of tho noted
figures Of literature who helped
add to the merriment at the
Ppntne de Pin, the Sucking Calf,
and the Valley Of Misery. all a.
nous cabarets OF the fifteenth
century which were the fore.
runners of the modern New York
night club.
This modern night, or after
theater club, is the last resort for
pleasure.hungry people who are
fed up on more unsophist icated
entertainment" says Dwan.
They crave excitement. and while
night life may be pretty sorry
imitation Of 1t, it's the nearest to
the real thing that they can find.
"The night club Is q distinct
product 81 the post volstead
period, and, although It Is possi-
bic to obtain an abundance and a
wide assortment Of banned liquors
at these places for prices just as
