CITIZENS PROTEST
APARTMENT SITE
Permit on Building at Corner
of Wisconsin Avenue Called
Result of ''BIunder."

Protest against the "blunder or lack
of foresight On the part of responsible
District authorities" in connection with
the permits for erection Of an apart
n1ent house at Woodley road and Wis
ronsin avenue was made in the form OF
x unanimously adopted resolution at
the meeting of the Cathedral Heights
Cleveland Park Citizens Association
last night at John Eaton School, Thirty
fourth and Lowell streets.
The resolution, introduced by George
G.. Powell, charges that an error was
made in permitting the erection of an
apartment s:ouse on the northwest cor
ner of the intersection pf Wisconsin
avenue and Woodley road, where the
actual building extends far beyond the
fronts of other similar properties in
the same block, and directly into the
line of Woodley road as it projects to
The east, effectually preventing further
needful widening of this thoroughfare.
In addition to completely blocking the
vista westward and leaving only mar
row space for sidewalk"
ID. C. Negligence Charged.
It was further charged that the
"A restricted character of the Woodley
road area is violated because OF ma
grant neglect of official effort TO pro-
GPCI ILLS obACSO AAOAAA
the encroachment of large tenementS."
If the zoning regulations were not
actually violated, their spirit was GER
tainly wantonly sacrificed to the greed
of a landlord" the complaint says.
The association 'voices its feeble, be-
cause voteless, but nevertheless earnest
protest against such a blot on the land
scape and the aofficial negligence which
permits it to be-" the resolution con-
tinues Copies were ordered sent to
the District Commissioners. The build
ing in question has not yet been com
pleted.

are John w. Townsend, president; Mrs

trio Co. to place a passenger platform at
Wisconsin avenue and Macomb street
to act as a zone of safety for pedes-
trians crossing at that point.

disaster service of the Red Cross, gave
an address at the meeting on the or
ganization and membership of the Red
Cross.

When the Democrats organize the
House in the coming Congress, there
will be some moving in this section.
Bigger and better Offices are In store for
some of them-ofices which are appro-
priately termed suites.
Three of the group will become chair
men OF major committees and inherit
Office space and equipment the like OF
which only the privileged may enjoy.
Sam Rayburn, FOR example, Will move
from his little cubby hole on the fifth
floor down to the second in the space
allowed the chairman of the Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
His Offices are perhaps the swankiest
of the lot
Hatton Summers will be installed In
the quarters on the third floor reserved
| for the chairman of the judiciary
Committee. The room in which his
committee meets resembles court
room in appearance.
Marvin Jones, who becomes chairman
of the Agriculture Committee, will get
the agriculture suite on ths second
floor, occupied for so long by the ven
cradle Haugen Of Iowa, dean Of the
House.

Play soothing music, which will help
you to relax. A splendid exercise for
giving poise and good carriage is to
balance book on the head. The head
must be in line with the spine and the
ribs lifted buoyantly above the alb
domen, which is well drawn in. An
other exercise that will help to make
the spine loose and supple is as follows:
stand erect with feet slightly apart,
knees together, hands on hips. Kneel
down and drop the chin as near to the
floor as possible. Be careful to keep

swing backward and make the exercise
a full circle. Then try the following
exercise: Stand erect, hands on hips,
chest elevated and abdomen in. Bend
the knees slowly without altering the
position of the rest of the body, until
you are In full squatting position,
with knees together. If you can do
this 10 times without dropping the book
or bowl, which may be placed on the
head and balanced gracefully, you are
on the way to acquiring the poise, bal

admired. LOIS LEEDS.
Choosing Shade Of Powder.
Dear Miss Leeds-0D My problem is
to find a suitable shade OF face powder
to blend with my rather uncommon
coloring. I have jet-black hair and q
medium fair skin, and find that rachel
shades are much too yellow for me.
Will you please advise me the shade
Of face powder to use? Thank you for
your helpful column; it Is so practical.
MISS ANN D.
Answer.-Your colorinR is not I'M
common, my. dear, and I think that
you will find flesh rose or tea rose
shade of face powder suitable. This
rose color will give fattering, healthy
glow to your type Of skin. Or you may
have face powder blended that will
be suitable. This individual powder =
blending service is obtainable at any
large beauty salon or cosmetic counter.

THIs appears to be the writing of

This very large, heavy style Is

type of person. This writer
seems to be one who would attract at

She would apparently never be cling

others. Though she undoubtedly has .
keen appreciation Of what to do and
when, she should not intrude these
good ideas too strongly on others. Too
great insistence upon her own plans

all stingy, but she would surely de-
mand full return for her money. She
would seemingly desire the best to be
had and would gladly pay for it, but
she would quickly detect any attempt
to sell second-rate goods at flrst-class
prices, The long lower loops and
shorter upper ones emphasize this prac-
tical side Of her nature.
She probably enjoys travel. Though
she would always desire an estab-
lished home to which she could re-
turn, she appears to be the roaming
type. No corner of the globe would
be too obscure to attract her. As her
interest in human nature seems great,
she possibly enjoys the different types
of people encountered as much as their
countries. Seemingly she would not
be content to settle long in any one
place away from home. While away
she would probably always want to be
on the move.
When at home she perhaps enjoys
very pleasant social life. Probably q
suburban life would suit her best. Here
she could have out-of-door sports
which would provide an interesting
outlet for her energies. She would
perhaps desire her friends to visit her
frequently, wanting to have them enter
into her pleasures.

GIRLS IN ATHLETICS

The question is asked, whether
girls and women are "unsexing'
themselves" by participation in ath-
letic sports? Some people claim
that in these public athletic events,
where they are the centers of cheer
ing crowds, maidenly reserve, which
used to be considered desirable,
tends to disappear. Others claim
that young women make themselves
less attractive when roughened by
constant exposure to the weather.
Others object to the abbreviated cos
tunes worn in swimming, track
sports, etc.
Probably it will be long time be-
fore the girls quit the hold they
have already gained in athletic COM
petitions. AS far as their costumes
go, it seems unfair to women and
girls to require costumes that han
dicap them in competition with men.
Anything that encourages better ply
steal development among women
means stronger children, better able
to cope with the world. If costume
is appropriate for men who enter
certain sport, it should also be so
for women.
1t is doubtful if the young wom-
en- athletes lose any attractiveness.
Formerly people admired fragile,
delicate girls, who tainted away if
they saw mouse, and who spent
their hours sitting on parlor sofas
doing embroidery. Now they admire
vigorous achieving girls. who can
hold their own with anyone.
The young woman of the future
will win by her power to do things,
rather than by her languishing looks
and fascinating coquetteries. AS
women gain strength in athletics,
they will no longer be regarded as
the weaker SEX" In time they may
a thought to such a custom. The idea
become equal in physical strength to
men. The Indian women used to do
the hard work in the field, while
their men hunted and fought wars,
which may show that primitive wO-
men were not regarded as having an
inferior strength. The race should
do everything possible for the ply
steal development of women.

EARLY SPRING

I American climate varies so much,
that the poets and nature lovers do
not agree as to the thoughts which
early spring brings to us. In some
localities, March is about as dis
agreeable a month as the year
makes. March is called a pestilent
fellow, treacherOus to the limit, who
lures you on with coy sunshine one
moment, but no sooner does he get
you in his power than he launches
the wintry breaths at you.
And in other climes, March smiles
and really means it, as farmers go to
work under his suns, and gardeners
begin their labors.
But anyway in March, the birds
are returning, their CHEEKY notes
tell us that all is still we'll with the
world. The swelling buds tell of
foliage glories to come. The rising
sun invites the farmer to trust his
fortunes once more to Dame Nature.
March's winds may blow too rugged
ly, but any way there is the tang of
health in their invigorating airs.

A FAMOUS SINGER

One of the worlds most famous
opera singers, Nellie Melba, has
passed on after a marvellous musi-
cal career. Her voice Of amazing
sweetness has been heard in all
lands, and millions have carried
away from her performances the
haunting memory of her delightful
song.
In former years, the power of
such singer was merely memory.
Her hearers passed on the tradition
of her vocal gifts, but succeeding
generations could only guess as to
its range and quality. Today phono-
graphic records perpetuate the
achievement of such artists. Their
message goes on speaking indefi-
nitely to all who wish to hear. Thus
time has lost its power to destroy
the makers of beautiful music, and
their voices become the worlds per-
manent possession.

CHILDREN HONOR EXPLORER

Ten big volumes containing letters
Of tribute written by children of
5000 schools, have been presented to
Admiral Richard E. Byrd. Probably
he will place quite as high value
on them as he does on the medals
and honors of learned scientific
bodies.
When the boys and girls become
enthusiastic over some popular hero,
one can be sure that he is worthy.
They have a very keen instinct for
recognizing high achievement. When
they give their unstinted admiration
to some parsonage, one can be sure
that he has not merely accomplished
some great deed of action, but he
has proved himself a noble leader of
men.
