to go out and enjoy myself with the

MY first year in high school opened my
eyes. For the first time I felt the full
force of their stern hand of repres-
sion. With all the courage OF YOUTH
I demanded freedom.
The next year I was allowed to at
ten. a few parties. But was past
eighteen, and a senior in high school
when I gave my first real party. I
had become the most beautiful col
ored girl at our school, My long
line of boy friends increased daily.
With my vivaciouS. carefree manner,

ROAD ASSESSMENTS
CALLED EXCESSIVE
Takoma Citizens Plan to
Fight Proposed Widening
of Thoroughfare.

That the assessments for the proposed
widening of Piney Branch road from
Georgia avenue to Butternut street are
to be considered as excessive was the
sentiment expressed at largely attend
ed meeting of the Citizens Association
| OF Takoma, D. c., last night in the Ia
koma Park branch of the Washington
Public Library.
| The widening of this thoroughfare
| has been under way for several years
! past, and the assessments for the widen
| ing to width Of 100 feet In accordance
| with the District highway plan have
! just been announced
! The result was that the meeting last
| night was the largest attended in many
months, many of those present being
| property owners affected but not mem
: bers OF the association. general dis
cusslon OF the assessments took place,
| resulting in the adoption of a resolu-
| ton to the effect that the widening of
Piney Branch road should be taken
! from the general funds of the District
and not from the AUDITING property
owners. 1t was felt that a widening
enterprise so extensive in character as
the one proposed should be done by the
! District.
The total amount involved in the
awards was reported to be about $780,
/ 600. which has been assessed against
AUDITING property owners for two blocks
on either side of Piney Branch road
from Georgia avenue to Butternut street
| In view of the fact that number of
those present were not members of the
| association, DR.. D. N. Shoemaker, presi-
dent of the association, on motion, adj
| iourned the meeting, at the conclusion
OF which all present went into confer
: h. g.. Al,
| S. j. Dennis was elected chairman of
| the temporary committee, and it was
decided to proceed by retaining counsel
to see If the awards could not be nulli-
! fed. The final date for filing objections
| is April Is. Another meeting Of those
affected will be called by Chairman
Dennis at an early date.

 AND DEMAND GOOD
Primer Money Cuts Interest
 Somewhat, But List Firm
--.-----

New York, March 21 P-Ten- dencies toward 1irmer money result ed in a less avid demand for bonds today, although the pace of the market was still brisk and well above the average for the past year
 Small fractional losses scattered through the list in the early trad mig reflected the effect on inquiry of the per cent call money renew al rate and the subsequent boost in the rate to 4. There was also a lit tie profit taking in speculative hold- ings which had profited to a con- siderable extent by the phenomenal rise of the current week.
 However, plenty of money was still seeking employment in bonds and offerings were well taken. h. vestment rails and utilities held firm. but some of the low priced in dustrials met with selling. A fea- ture of the day was the strength of American Telephone convertible 41as, which touched the new 1930 high of 16S as the stock went to record ground for the year. The company's debenture 5s of 1865 was very active just under its high. Pa cifc Telephone first 5s, which had been rather quiet caught up with bonds of the same grade by rising more than a point to 10S.
 The active rails included Wabash 5s, Western Pacific 5s, Baltimore Gs Ohio convertible figs, Canadian Pa ciflc As, Missouri Pacific General As, Hudson & Manhattan Adjustment 5s and Erie 5s, some of which had a little difficulty in holding their ground.
 Wheeling Steel Active
 Wheeling Steel 4ks very active around 93, were in new high ground for the year. Armour Real Estate 41ss sold off 1 F on small sales. Oil company bonds were firm, Texas Corp. convertible 5s rising a point to the new high of 106. Shubert Theaters Is tumbled points. l Changes in the foreign list ruled small during the earlier dealings, nut there was an upward tendency In the stronger issues. Belgium 7s and French 71as each rose half a point, Brazil 6hs advanced more than l. Chile 6s turned heavy. | Quotations on liberties and treas. uries showed some irregularity and most of the listings were quiet al small fluctuations either way.
 New Offerings Issued
 The general strength of the cur. rent market brought out large cror of new offerings. The largest was the $40, 000,000 issue of Royal Dutch { per cent 15-year debentures at S9la Others included: Chicago, Milwau, kee & St. Paul Railway. Genera Mortgage 4% s, totalling s15.0O0,O0( due 1889, at 100 F; sl5, 5,000,o0O Shel Union Oil company of California 1; year debenture 5s at 99 F: and s10. 500,0o0 Southern Cities Public Ser vice Co.,, one year per cent golt notes at 99.

 INDUSTR|ALS RISE
Profit Taking Hals Advance
 Movement in Sections

New York, March 21 P-Profes- sional operations for the advance were pressed forward with vigor in today's curb market, but firming up in the call money market prompt ed heavy profit taking which turned the courses of prices irregular. Sev- eral of the industrials and oils were bid up rapidly
 Standard Issues Strong The petroleum group was featur- ed by strength of the Standards. Standard of Ohio jumped about 5 points to a new high, and Humble Oil and Standard of Kansas sold up point or so. the latter to new high ground. Indian Territory was firm, but Cities Service eased.
 American Chain was a feature of the industrials. Sponsors of this stock point out that current earnings are
 running considerably ahead of this
 period q year ago. The shares rose about 3 points to a new peak at 60. but encountered considerable profit taking at the top. The Deere issues were firm spots, the old stock jump ing 20 points to a new top at 665. American Cyanamid was strong in the early trading, but soon sold off in profit taking on it's recent rise. Babcock and Wilcox was a soft spot, dropping points. In the chain stores. Peoples Drug shot up 10 points.
 Utilities Hit Selling Utility shares encountered consid- erable selling and moved in diver gent trends. American gas mount ed into new high ground only to react rather sharply. Electric Bond & Share sold up a couple of points, then turned downward. Among the less active issues, American Trac- tton shot up more than s points to a new 1880 top. Brazilian Traction, in which Canadian interests are un- derstood to be active, sold up mod erately into new high territory. The United Gas issues encountered fur ther profit taking. but it was well absorbed.

 In other words, it was said, there will be a three-power pact with Trance and Italy possibly signing some clauses which do not affect their parity disagreement.
