Clayton Opposes Bill
The police department pay Dill
was opposed BY William Nick. Clay
ton, who testified before the com
Taittee ais representative q The
Federation OF Citizens Associations.
Clayton pointed out t. the com.
nlittee that the average salary Of
~
District n only 1911 b year. and.
that many 81 these employees have
been working as long as 20 years
for the Government. The pending
bilI would start privates IN the pO-
lice ana fire departments at $z,lOO
and raise them shortly 80 $500 q
year.
ne said 1t would be an injustice
fO the classified employees to pass
this discriminatory bill. and asked
that the police salaries be liked by
the classification board ia the same
way that the salaries Of the other
employees are determined,
Means Increased Tax
He told the committee that the
taxpayers OF the District could not
stand higher taxes, because II would
entail an additional annual expense
OF 100000 d year.
He testified that taxes here are
already as high as the citizens can
stand. having doubled in the last ~
wears. resulting in the sale OF IA Duo
parcels OF real estate at auction Tor
failure in tax payments this year.
Members Of the COMMITTEES chal-
lenged Clayton to prove that taxes
here are higher than in other cities.
Representative Charles =. Underhil
Of Massachusetts said he was sick
and tired Of hearing the local news
papers ana taxpayers cry about high
taxes.
Clayton concluded his argument
BY asking the committee to wait az
least FOR report from the District
Commissioners on the police pay
proposal before taking action.

A coIorfuI chapter of a history of

written OF the old Long Bridge across
the Potomac, replaced rs years ago
by the present Highway Bridge.
The Long bridge was erected in

British soldiers setting fire to the
north end to keep the American
Army from crossing from Virginia
and the Americans setting fire to the
south end in the belief the British
army was headed TOWARD Alexandria
The bridge company rebuilt the
bridge after the British invasion, but

summer scene.
But we digress. What we started to
tell ;bout is the Importance of stripes
in the mode. 1t Is the fashionable
thing, nowadays, to attend the day
l-me bridge party-in stripes, to play
tennis and Coffin stripes, or perhaps
TO stroll the Powered paths which lead
to the country club-in stripes.
1t is indeed a fashionwise person
who elects to wear stripes this season.

Cool looking foods for the summer
-eyening are more tempting, as rule.
than those which come steaming in
to the dining-room and suggest the
trying sensations of the middle of a
hot day. 1t may be necessary for
practical reasons to have hot meat
and vegetables, although the hearty
course may easily be converted into
a salad. Dessert, however, should be
as cool and simple as possible, and pre-
pared early in the day. Not only is
it then out of the way, but there Is
time to chill II thoroughly and in that
way make it more acceptable as a hot
weather dish.
Nothing could be more tempting
than fruit gelatin for dessert. II
must be made several hours before il
is wanted to give the gelatin time to
stiffen. The bureau of home economics
gives the following combination of in
gradients, but other fruits may be
used In season. Allow one tablespoon
full or ounce of gelatin for each three
cupfuls of material to be stiffened,
during warm weather. In winter time
more liquid and fruit, up to one quart.

Remove the stems or the stop and

herewith suggests one such grouping
of work centers. Each part of this
kitchen is well lighted by two win
dows, and almost all of those sitting
