George M. Cohan once said
that If he was picking a career

make him an actor or play

like to have him devote his youth

Ross L. Lefiier of McKeesport, Pa,

In Pennsylvania, Leffler said, money
Is collected from sportsmen by several
methods. One plan was for hunters
TO pay farmers fer "environmental con-

covers and providing natural food and
control of predatory birds and animals
Another system involved the sale of

BALTIMORE, Md, December a.
Social traditions 122 years old were
carried out under more colorful cir
cumstances than ever before here last
night as 81 debutantes from this and
other cities made their formal bows to
society at the seasons first bachlors S
cotillion.
Until recent years rigid rule of the

by the st. Cecilia ball at Charleston,

was that the only color must come from
the profu5ion of flowers. But with the
World War, evening gowns in colors
made their appearance, and last night
they were more in evidence than ever.
Numerous dinners at various Baltl-
more homes preceded the affair at the
old Lyric Theater Each girl, approved
oficially by the cotillion board, arrived
in company with one or more escorts
and chaperone.
The decorations included the same
big candelabra and the same gold bro
caded drapes that have frightened
cctillons for almost half a century
The footmen's liveries and the 900 gold
brocaded cushions that were put on the
steps leading up to the stage. where
supper was served, have also seen a hall

In addition to the 81 debutantes for

made their debut elsewhere were in

The finishing touches to the decora-
tions, widely famed because of the pro-
fusion of flowers, were added this year
by new hands. George Black, the florist
who for as years had charge of deco

METHOD|STS meet
| DEC. 9 ON ADDITION
Board Official Says He Has
Not Heard of U. S. Plans
to Use Site.

Blocked by two municipal regulations
from proceeding with the proposed
$500,000 addition to the Methodist
Building as originally planned, the
Board of Temperance, Prohibition and
Public Morals of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church will meet Decemb-r 8 tn
decide the future of the project, it was
announced today by Deets Pickett, re-
search secretary of the board.
Speaking in the absence from the
Office of DR.. Clarence True Wilson,
general secretary of the board, MFR
Pickett said that he had heard nothing
of a report published today that a
movement was being started to provide
for the condemnation of the Methodist
Building and its adjoining site to pro-
vide for expansion of the Federal build
ing program about the grounds of the
Capitol.
Zone Change Needed.
The proposed addition to the Metho-
dist Building, which stands at the
northeast corner of Maryland avenue
and First street northeast. overlooking
the grounds of the Capitol, has been
held up due to failure of the board to
obtain approval of a requested change
in coming. The original plans also could
not be carried to completion due to q
limit on the maximum heights of build
ings there, adopted during the past year
by the District Commissioners.
For these reasons, Mr.. Pickett said
the project now was in somewhat an
uncertain state.
The original plans for the addition
to the Methodist Building, which has
been planned for more than n year,
called for a structure of the same cor
nice height as that of the Methodist
Building, which is u feet high.
The board sought a change in the
coming of the site of the addition, rails
ing the height limit from so to 80 feet,
explaining that 1t planned to erect a
building of but 70 feet high, which
could not be done under the 60-foot
zoning.
Petition Is Rejected.
The District Zoning Commission,
however, rejected this petition, on the
ground that 1t would make possible the
construction later, if the present or SUBJ
sequent owners of the property desired,
of additional stories to the height of
80 feet. This it was argued by some
objectors at the zoning hearing, would
make possible a building high enough
to overshadow the new United States
Supreme Court Building to be erected
to the south of the Methodist Building.
During the past year. also, the Dis
trict Commissioners adopted height
limits en- various properties here near
60 Government areas, including the site
of the Methodist Building addition, set
ting the limit at so feet.
Thus the addition to the Methodist
Building. 1t Is explained now is limited
to so feet. building of ~ feet height
being barred.
