Mr.. Fixit
Boulevard Chuck Holes to
Be Remedied Soon.

A north side resident today ap-
pealed to Mr.. Fixit to obtain relief
from chuck holes in w. Thirty
Eighth st. Blvd, where Crown Hill
Cemetery Association built a sub
way connecting cemetery property.
The letter:
you are able to bring attention
and action to so many of the
citizens ups and downs that I turn
to you in hopes of your putting in a
word for me.
west Maple Road Blvd, or
Thirty Eighth ST., where Crown
Hill has been constructing the
tunnel, has been in deplorable con-
dition all winter. Now that the
heavy, disagreeable weather is over,
it is not asking too much of either
Crown Hill or the city to have
cinders or gravel dumped in the
series of chuck holes, which no
doubt, will not be ready for pave
ment until fall. Very truly yours,
"COMMUTER"
Raymond Siebert, Crown Hill
superintendent, today informed
Mr.. Fixit the condition will be
remedied in two or three weeks.
The park board contemplates re-
surfacing the boulevard and the
cemetery will fill in with crushed
stone.
Dear Mr.. Fixit: Nineteenth st.,
especially between Koehne and
Harding Sts., is in deplorable con-
dition. Pits eighteen inches deep
make traveel Of the roadway almost
impossible, and the filling of the
alley between Koehne and Harding
Sts., has caused a permanent lake
to form on one side of the street.
The pits hold water for days after a
rain.
An ideal mosquito hatchery, with
attendant unpleasantnesS and a
health hazard, is provided. Do you
know of any way to drain the lake?
A GRATEFUL RESIDENT.
The street commissioner has
promised relief.
The request for grading and gray
cling of Haugh ST., between Wilcox
and w. Vermont Sts., and opening
of sewers has been listed for action.

and as body and bone builders, and in
canned tomatoes the health remedy is
cheap the year round.
In a Chicago hospital, the children
receive tomato juice instead of or
ange juice as a tonic food. A well
known New York hospital puts toma-
toes at the head of the list of reduc-
ing foods. The use of tomatoes in
their varied forms in all kinds of dish
es is to be encouraged.

SALMON PIERRE

Remove tops from a bunch of celery
and parboil the larger stalks until
they are tender. Place on a buttered
pan. Stuff the stalks with a mixture
of pound can of salmon, two cups
bread crumbs and three-fourths cup of
milk, seasoning of a fourth teaspoon
salt and a dash of pepper. Dot with
butter and heat in oven until crumbs
are brown Serve with Hollandaise or
white sauce.

The British people are taking leaf
from the book of their American cous-

use of canned foods. This has been
accelerated by the British coal strike,

The American people eat five pounds
of spaghetti per capita per year. Most
of the spaghetti, macaroni and kin

RUBINsTEIN CLUB CONCERT.

The members of the Rubinstein
Club. a women's choral organization
of Washington Claude Robson, di-
rector. appeared in the first of a series
of three public concerts at the Willard
Hotel last night.
The guest soloist on this occasion
was Giuseppe Martino-Rossi, a bari
tone with a big voice of vibrant quail
ity and excellent control in legato. If
he could have had more practice with
his accompanist, to prevent dragging
when his Interpretation of the song
required observance of a swift RHYTHM,
or hurry him off of his incest sus-
tanned tones, the effectiveness of his
really admirable work would have
been increased. Mr.. MARITIME Rossf is
OF Latin temperament and his voice
has the tinbre and dramatic quality
for operate work. He sang "Se
Vuol Ballore" from Mozart's Marriage
of Figaro" very we'll indeed, the
next group was equally engrossing,
Handel, Giordani and Scarlatti sup
plying the singer with material which
he used with artistic intelligence In
the third group Roger Cutters Nov
Sleeps the Crimson Petal" the one
song in English, was quite as well
done as his italian selections. Proba-
bly, the most popular number was the
Italian street song, 20 Sole Mic, ="
sung as one of the encores. Always
this singers diction was distinct and
his breathing seems correct. Also, he
produces his tones with an ease that
is refreshing.
The feature of the clubs numbers
was Harriet Wares 'Undine," which
although listed here as a first time
in Washington, was no such thing.
Only a couple of seasons ago the Pen
Women's League sponsored a group
of woman composers works in a per-
Torrance here and Miss Wares "Un-
dine" was surg by a local group
which, If memory serves correctly, in
cluded the Rubinstein Club itself, and
had orchestral accompaniment by a
service band. Even prior to that a
performance of the work was given
here by a local music club with Miss
Ware herself at the piano. 1t is a
lovely work. Miss Frances Scherger
soprano, and Mr.. Ross Farrar, tenor
were the soloists in this number.
: A novelty was the arrangement for

JUSSERAND LAUDS
FRENCH ATHLETES
Success, He Says, Contributes to
Americas Appreciation of
Their Race Vitality.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, February 81. J. Jusse.
rand, former Ambassador to the
United States, believes that the sue.
cess of French athletes contributes
greatly to making the vitality of our
race appreciated in America.
Americans value courage in all it's
forms" he declared in an interview
with correspondent of the sporting
paper L'Auto. They believed Car
pentier had no chance against Demp-
sey, but they liked him all the better
for taking the risk. His defeat in no
way injured his popularity, because
he fought to the bitter end"
Emphasizing his belief in the i'm
mense benefits derived from sports, he
added:
1T is of extreme Importance for the
future of our race that the whole
population be won over to the cause
of sport. 1t is not sufficient that it be
adopted by the middle classes. All
Frenchmen, even all French women,
must be led to understand what
pleasure, health and happiness exer.
else in the open air brings"
NJ. Jusserand has always held these
views, but the example of the United
States in the field Of sports, which he
was able to observe during his long
stay there, served to strengthen them.
