CITIZENS APPROVE
BONDS FOR SCHOOL
Lyon Village Association Fa-
Vors Move Ahead of
New Jail.
Special Dispatch to rhe star.


LYON VILLAGE, February 26.-
Recommendation for bond issue of
s5SO,0o0 for additions to the school
buildings in the county, contained in
report of survey of county school con-
ditions just completed by the United
States Bureau of Education, under the
direction of DR.. Frank M. Phillips and
w. S. Deffenbaugh, was made by the
Lyon Village Citizens Association, in
special meeting here last night.
The meeting also had under con-
sideration a proposal to bond for new
county JAIL but decided that the school
improvements are more imperative at
this time.
Text of Resolution.
A resolution expressive of the wishes
of the membership on the two projects
states:
Resolved that this association urge
upon the board of supervisors the
greater need at this time for school
improvements, including especially addi-
tions to the Washington-Lee High
School and the James Monroe School,
even though such improvements involve
the issuance of bonds and that the
said board be notified that for this rea-
son we cannot concur in the resolution
of the Civic Federation, which proposes
the raising of funds either by bond
issue or special levy for construction OF
a new jail"
The resolution, which was offered by
Robert E. Freer, further declares that
the association recognizes the need OF
improvement in Jail conditions. but feels
that a more pressing need for civic i'm
provement at this time is the relief of
congestion in the public schools.
This action was taken following an
address by DR.. Phillips, in which he
explained in detail the survey made on
county schools conditions.
Light Rate Probe.
The Association instructed the pub
lie utilities committee, consisting of j.
H. Burkholder, Monroe H. Stockett and
H E. STEELE, to look into the reasonable
ness of the electric light rates of the
county and also to call the attention
of the association members to a recent
reduction in fire insurance rates.
The following nominating committee
was named by President Robert N.
Anderson: Monroe H. Stockett, G.. B.
Long, S. Groome Eareackson and Mrs
Robert E. Freer.
Report was made that the member
ship committee headed by Herbert
Smith, had completed all details in con-
nection with the membership drive and
that the drive would be started March l.
President Anderson announced that
banquet to celebrate the foundation of
the association would be held at Odd
Fellows Hall March %.

No More Skin Foods
or Astringents!

NOW comes remarkable neW de-
l y velopment in beauty science.
A discovery that experts predict may
soon change all previous methods in
skin care.
A way that condenses the four funda-
mentals of scientific skin care into
single, 3-minute home application!
And thus gives the exact and same
effect of a complete Professional Facial
costing So or more.
A way that combats blackheads and
enlarged pores; often with almost UNI
believable results. That banishes pre-
mature age lines, and lines fstrain and
worry. For each application works di-
Tectly on each and all Of these conditions.
You eliminate the need of costly
special creams and lotions. Do away
with old-time cleansing creams, skin
foods" and astringents. Yet this new
way is as easy to use as an ordinary
cleansing cream.
Do you wonder, then, that largely on
expert advice tens of thousands of
womenare adopting thisnew creation?

GLEANINGS

This is the time of year when
the city begins to fill UP with
youthful tourists getting their
first glimpse Of the National
Capital. A class of $50 high
school students took in Tues
day nights performance Of
Romeo and Juliet" by the
Stratford. .Upon-A Won Festival
Company, and the hotels re-
port books crowded until the
end of May.
The theater is the beneficiary
Of this out-of-town sightseeing
population. But it also puts
up, with some of the disad-
vantageS caused by crowded
hotels. For instance, Managing
Director Cullen, of the Loew
enterprises, was busy yesterday
trying to find hotel accommo
dations for the revue unit
which will play the Palace
Theater Easter week. All down
town hotels have the y. II. y.
sign out already for those seven
days.
Mr.. Cullen's preparedness was
inspired by the fact that Easter
week, 1929, the Loew enter
tainers were forced to find
shelter in the District boarding
houses. They may have to re
peat the experience unless an
other way is found for solving
the crowded hotel problem.
Some enthusiasts there gre,
who claim that Walter Hamp-
den is the best actor on the
American stage. Others will
insist he is a good declaimer.
But all agree he has a great
speaking voice, a wonderful as

tory to the news that Mr..

commencing the week of March

and strapping and long the idol
of New Englanders. His rep

fined almost exclusively to Bos-

Of the last IL years has failed
to find him at one post or the

Not a few playgoers here will
remember Gilbert's brief ap.
pearances several years back,
notably as Sergeant Quirt in
What Price Glory" and in
Sidney Howard's Pulitzer prize
play, They Knew What They
Wanted" He also spanned a
weeks engagement at Polls two
years back, in a piece whose
title doesn't come to mind at
the moment.
Two seasons ago Mr.. Coch-
ran of the National Players,
journeyed to Providence to see
Mr.. Gilbert's work. Contracts,
however, and there are ethics
between producers SO he didn't
persuade Gilbert to join him
then, but asked an option on
his talents the first season he
was free. That happened to
be this year.
