The actress referred to Is Belle
Bennett, daughter of Iowa, who
was virtually born under a show
tent and who has spent every
year of her life in theatrical
endeavor. 1t was only recently
that she scored heavily as the
misfit mother in 'Stella Dallas.
but long before success attended
her screen efforts her legitimate
stage portrayals were widely
known.
According to her father, who
traversed the highways and by
ways with a tent show. Belle
inherited her gentle manners
from her Southern-bred mother.
1t is interesting to note that
Miss Benefits education, for the
most part. was obtained in
transit. This continued several
years. Later she was sent to
Sacred Heart Academy In Min
neapolis.
At first Belle Bennett played
minor roles such as Tiny Mary,
Little Eva and Red Riding Hood.
? There never was a moment,
however. that Miss Bennett
didn't believe that she would
rise to dramatic heights.
When she was about twelve,
the leading woman OF her fathers
company quit. She hsd been
secretly understanding her. That
night the little golden haired
12.year-old girl played the lead
and scored remarkable hit.

w. r. E. SEEKS TO CUT
SPACE between TRACKS
Asks Right to Make Change When
Reconstruction on North Capitol
Street Is Started

The Washington Railway and
Electric Company petitioned the Pub
lie Utilities Commission yesterday
for authority to reduce the distance
between the track centerS to IL feet
on North Capitol street from V street
to Michigan avenue when the tracks
are reconstructed. The change will
give the District an additional foot of
roadway on each side of the tracks
between the rails and the curb.
Several weeks ago the commission
authorized the company to recon-
struct the tracks on it's North Capitol
street line from V street to Michigan
avenue with standard suburban
equipment, which includes an over
head trolley. The present trolley
poles, however, will be removed from
the center of the roadway to the side
walks. This change will permit the
tracks to be laid closer together.
The petition also requested permits
sion to use steel instead of wood ties
as foundation for the new tracks.

for this Method

You can end a cold in "a hours.
But you must use the right way, the
complete way.
1t does more than end cold. 1t
checks the fever. stops the head
ache, opens the bowels. tones the
entire system. 1t leaves one in bet
ter condition than when the cold
began.
That way is HILLS. 1t is such
a super-help that we paid S1,OW,OOO
for it. 1t is so well-proved that
millions have come to employ it.
Start HILLS today, and relief
comes tomorrow. Use it promptly,
and the cold does not get started.
Use it, few days, and the damage
is ended. One usually feels better

COUNCIL RAP s
BEACH PLAN !.

Major U. S. Grants decision to
place the bathing pool for colored
in Anacostia was severely criticised
by the Citizens Advisory Council
last night, and Councilmen George
c.. Havenner, DIR. George Fl. Ricn-
ardson and Proctor l.. Dougherty
were selected as q committee which
will endeayor to dissuade Major
Grant from carrying out the pro.
posed plan.
DR. Richardson complained, that
| the director of public buildings and
grounds had selected the site with
out first consulting representative
colored organizations Of the Dis
trict. The council adopted a reso-
luton requesting Major Grant to
leave final approval OF the location
Of the pool to representatives Of the
groups intended to be served.
While the council was disapprov-
ing the plan, the Barry Farms Citi-
/ zens Association, meeting in st.
Johns Church, Anacostia, went on
record as in favor OF the chosen
location. Major Grant will be in
formed of this action through a
copy of resolution adopted by the
association.
The council also deferred action
on the movement to prepare To-
year fiscal program for the District,
recommended annual assessments on
real estate to meet school program
debts, and approved the establish
ment of a municipal library.
