Special DISPATCH 70 Inc STAR
ALEXANDRIA, Va, August Ia
Disporting the portrait Of the Father
of Our Country on tire covers, "a
nlace usually occupied by naked
women advertising beaches" was
characterized by Dan s. Hollenga,
business manager of the Chamber
of Commerce here, as gross insult
tn George Washington. The matter
was brought up by Hollenga at last
nights monthly meeting of the
chamber membership.
The plan to advertise the 1882 BIZ
centennial celebration in this man
ner. by placing Washington's picture
on tire covers, was bitterly de-
nounced by Hollenga. and he called
on the various Washington societies
of this city to pass resolutions as
being opposed to any such measures
of advertising the event. 1t Is under
stood that a Washington group con-
nected with making plans for the BIZ
centennial celebration has proposed
that the tire-cover plan Of advertis-
ing be used.

 INCREASES STAFF Growth Of Business Forces En-

Native Strawberries Being Sold Here Soft Ball League Results - Henry Austin Leaves Hospital Berlin and East Berlin Items.

The general business depression that IS being felt throughout the country has not affected the receipts of the kensington post office, ac- cording to Postmaster S. M.. CowleS, who states that the receipts for this July exceeded those of the cores bonding month last year by 22 per cent.
 This years receipts surpassed the average for the same month during the past six years by better than 35 per cent.
 Because of the increase Post master Cowles has deemed it ad- visable to add one more clerk to the present staff, and Mrs. Gertrude Fitzgerald has been hired to do temporary work during the rush hours of the day. She is not new to the work. as she served in the same capacity for some time about five years ago.
 It is expected that this will tend to speed up the work at the local office and act for the betterment of the service now being offered to the people in the kensington district.

Austin, who was remov- ed to the New Britain General hos pital recently following an accident in which the car he was driving col hded with one driven by Paul Gia- notta and which resulted in two of his ribs and his collar bone being fractured has returned to his home on Lower Lane in Berlin. where he ie reported to be resting comforta- bly,.
 League Games Tonight
 Three games will be played to- night at the Percival avenue grounds as part of the regular schedule of the kensington soft ball league.
 The first and most important of these will be the contest between the Swamp Road Giants and the Cypress Hills. These teams are tied for first place at present, and the winner of tonight's game will be lodged alone in the top position. This game will be played at ! o'clock on Diamond No. 2.
 At the same time on No. l dia- mond the St Pauls outfit will be fighting to send the American Le- zion team further into the cellar in the hope. that it may go into q tie for second place itself
 The third and final game of the evening will bring together the Bot tie Alley crowd and the representa- tives of the Ferndale dairy. There is great natural rivalry between these two teams and this game should prove to be a hair raiser.
 Rumor has it that John Conlin, the guiding genius of the boys from the Blue Hills section, will be OH hand to look over the work of the pitcher of the Giants. John has shown unusual interest in the work of this youngster and it would not surprise any Of the wise boys about town if he were to grab off the youngster. While his team is idle at present, it is understood that he is looking forward to a series with the winner of the league pennant and is seeking new talent to repre- sent the section at this time.
