When 1t comes TO endurance
records, how about these three
long-distance office holders in
Citizens Associations in Wash
ington?
700 block A St. N. E., takes the
lead with 36 consecutive years
as president of the Northeast
Citizens Association.
Second place goes to A. G.
HERMANN, of the 700 block
Tenth St. S. E., who this month
winds up 20 consecutive years
of service in the capacity Of
president of the Southeast Citi-
zens' Association. III,
Next ON the list of long office
holders is A. J. DRISCOLL, of
the 26OO block Woodley Rd.
N. w., who has been holding
down the presidency of the Mid
City Citizens Association for II
years and was recently re-
elected for the eighteenth term.
Whenever q charitable or
ganization or a church or a club
wants to stage a play or some
thing of that sort, nine cases
out of ten they get in touch
with GEORGE F. MUTH of the
1900 Irving St. block. He
not only knows how to arrange
matters of that kind, but he
writes plays himself and has
composed five operas which ac-
tually have been produced.
Mr.. Muth 10 not a profess
sional actor by any means, for
he runs the big art material
store on 18th ST., near G, cater
ing to the needs of painters,
scnlptors, etchers, engravers
and such like by selling them
the tools and necessities of
their profession. That's his real
business and stage play 10 his
diversion.
Nothing gives him greater
pleasure than to be able to help
a poor church to pay off it's
mortgage by means of arranging
for ON. of his plays, in which he
alway takes a personal part.
The Arts Club simply couldn't
get along without "George" as
he is lovingly called.

PREJUDICE
ANGLE

The District Commissioners to-
dav notified attorneys for Police
man Robert j. Allen that they
will give careful consideration
to their charges that the conduct
of Allen during the trial Wednes-
day influenced the subsequent
verdict of the Police Trial Board.
In addition, the Commissioners
acknowledged receipt OF formal
appeal from the trial boards
verdict.
In their appeal Aliens attor-
neys said:
"We transmit herewith notice Of
an appeal to be made, in accord
ance with the provisions OF the
police manual in the case Of Rob
ert j, Allen; and in connection
herewith, we desire to respect
fully call attention to several mat
ters which might possibly not be
considered appropriate to present.
In a formal appeal.
Statements Privileged
According to press reports,
when Allen had rested his case
and made a move to retire, In
spector Stoll called him back and
asked him if he did not think his
conduct before the board in max
ing certain statements constituted
characterization.
Certainly there can be no
question in your minds, as in
that of anyone familiar with the
the rules governing the status
of one pleading his own case,
that so far as the trial of Allen
was concerned, he and those sit
ting on the board were equals
for the time being, and anything
that he said was privileged, which
eliminates any question Of i1sub-
ordination.
"It is not unreasonable, how
ever, to suppose from Inspector
Stoll's remarks, that there was
in the minds of members Of the
board, particularly Inspector Stoll,
belief that Allen was insubord17
nate at that time. For this sea-
son, we request that you. as Com
n1iSsioners, call upon each mem.
Der of the Police Trial Board who
sat in this case to certify whether
trial, which Inspector Stoll
termed insubordinate, influenced
their decision.
While Aliens attorneys are
fighting in a last-ditch effort to
save him. attorneys for Capt.
Robert e. Royle, who upheld
Allen in a criticism of the Dis
trict Attorneys Office and who
was suspended with him, plan to
defend their client before the
trial board Monday.
Prospects that charges against
Captain Doyle will be withdrawn
on the basis of a retraction by
him, or that he will retire be-
fore the hearing, are considered
slight.

By the end of February
Ann Marie had $78 in Mr..

She was working just as
hard as she could work at

father in the shop besides.
And she was saving every
penny.
She was wearing cotton
stockings that she had
bought for a quarter a pair
at the Dollar Store. She
was using salt instead

She was staying home nights

the sofa where they were

That was on Saturday
night.
On Sunday afternoon,
about 4 o'clock, the Law
ler's big black town car
drove up in front of the
house and stopped.
Ann Marie saw it from the
window of her bedroom
where she was breaking the
Sabbath by working on Mrs.
i
LAWYERS luncheon cards.
She jumped up from the
table and rushed into Alice s
room.
Alice was flat on her back
on the bed, with her head
hanging over the edge of it,
doing her facial exercises.
"Get up and put on a
dressl" Ann Marie told her
in a breathless whisper.
"The LAWYERS car just

ice, sitting bolt upright.
She ran in her princess
slip and stockinegd feet, to
the window and looked out.

cried. "You. go down and

She flopped down at her
dressing table and began to,
; lather her face with cold
cream.
Ann Marie took off her
smock and went downstairs.
She carried with her the
cards that she had been
painting for Mrs. LaWler.
Mrs. LAWYER had been
so terribly business-like with
her when she had ordered
them that Ann Marie de-
cided she would be business
like with her now.
Il think these are going
to be pretty, don't you7"
she asked. when she had
seated her in the front room
before the fire and called
Alice.
But Mrs. LAWYER scarcely
noticed them. She just
smiled at them and made a
wide movement with her
hand as if she were brush
ing them away.
II want to give Alice and
Johnny their first dinner

the family she said, slip

Then Mr.. Macy came into
the room, looking very shod-
dy and down-at-the-heel in
his old Sunday trousers and
threadbare smoking jacket.
