TWO LOCAL BILLS
SENT TO CONGRESS
Zoning Act Change and Widening
of Thirteenth Street Sought
in Measures.

The District Commissioners forward
ed two bills to Congress yesterday with
requests for enactment. The draft of
a third measure was received from Cor
poration Counsel William w. Bride, but
was retained by the Commissioners for
study.
One of the bills was to amend the
zoning act by insertion of the word
used" in one of the sections The
section, as amended, would read: THAT
buildings used, erected. altered or raised
or converted in violation of any of the
provisions of this act or orders and reg
ulations made under the authority
thereof are hereby declared to be COM
mon nuisanceS."
The amendment was recommended
by Acting Engineer Commissioner DON
aid A. Dawson, who held the spirit
of the act now is being violated by use
of buildings for purposes other than
those for which they are Zoned
The second bill was to widen Thir-
teenth street between Monroe street
and Spring road.
The measure retained for study was
the one recommended in Mr.. Brides
annual report, which seeks to give the
Commissioners more power In promul-
eating municipal regulations, since the
courts have construed their power mar
rowly to the exact language of the joint
resolution OF 1873.

Of vaudeville performances presented

the source of the complaints to de-
termine whether they are justified. If
the inquiry finds the objections are
well founded, the representative body
Of mothers and fathers of school chill

The decision to study the theater
situation here was reached last night
when Mrs. E. c. Rittue. chairman Of
the Legislation Committee, introduced
resolution recommending the inves-
tigation.
Mrs Rittue said today she was anx-
lous to make it plain that while many
the shows by high school boys and
were not the goody-goody type"
THE young people have talked
with, on the contrary, are the up-to-
date, normal young moderns, who turn

theaters," Mrs. Rittue added. Some
of the boys have told me, as well as
other parents, that they actually are
ashamed to sit with their girl friends
at some performances in Washington
play houses.
I'VE mean first to find out just how
extensive the conditions are which the
students and their parents have COM
planned about, before we do anything
definite"
Mrs. Rittue said further that at least
one theater manager had expressed his
willingness to cooperate with the
parents in their efforts to keep
questionable entertainment" out OF the
programs. .
The District of Columbia Congress Of
Parents and Teachers is to appoint
committee of five to investigate the COM
plants and make a study Of the gen.
eral theater situation. The personnel
of this group probably will be COM

LOUISE, 9, VISITS TRINKET CLUB
AND TAKES CHOICE OF 300 TOYS
Eldest of Seven Children Weak From Excitement Selects
Gift for Each in Magic Storehouse.

The purest chance brought Louise
9-year -old eldest Of seven children, into
the magic store house Of the Trinket
Club, but Louise made the most of the
opportunity.
1t happened that a taxicab driver,
who boarded with Louise'S grandmother
across the river in Virginia, let an in
voluntary sigh escape him when fare
alighted downtown Monday with an
armload of toys, including dolls ward
robe trunk
The fare, P. D. Morrison, dealer in
stationer's supplies, inquired the rea-
SON. and the driver told him all about
Louise.
Il asked the hacker to send Louise
to see me-" Morrison, originator Of the
Erinket Club, told the Civilians at their
luncheon meeting yesterday in the La
Fayette Hotel.
When Louise came" Morrison con-
tinued, Il showed her about the store
room. filled with more than 300. toys.
which were the sum total of dues paid
in by members Of the Trinket Club.
She was wan little thing who
grew weak with excitement when in
v1ted her to select something for her
self from the shelves.
But the toy she chose was for a boy
younger than herself. I told her to take
something else, and this time she took
a toy better suited to an infant girl
Again and again she made selections
at my request, each obviously for some
one else-dolls, wagons and children's
books
Evening star., 1931-12-16

But are you taking these for your
self?'" I asked
she was startled and had to admit
she was not-they were all for her
six brothers and sisters younger than
herself!
"'All right I said, but there's
something Santa Claus left especially
for you-see if you find it
with excitement. chose the wardrobe
trunk which started it all in the first
place!"
Morrison explained to the Civitan
Club that he started last September
enrolling as members in the Trinket
Club those of his customers who would
contribute q Christmas toy for needy
children. There are now some 200
members and twice that many fine toys,
ready for the holiday season
Another speaker at the Civitan meet
ing was DR.. g. w. Leadbetter, Wash
ington specialist In diseases Of the
bone and Joints, who urged the neces-
sity for larger facilities to care for
convalescent crippled children in the
District.
There is not a hospital in Wash
ington," DR.. Leadbetter said, which
can give proper care and time to other
than operative or immediate conva-
leScent cases.
Frequently children partially cured
of their infections must be discharged
from the hospitals to return to an

BALL0U CONSIDERS
DEAL HIGH ANNEX
Addition Would Help to Keep
Western on Single Shift,
Superintendent Says.

The contemplated double-shift class
schedule at Western High School,
which is threatened by delays in con-
nection with the construction of the
new senior high school at Reno. may
be forestalled by the building of an
annex to the Alice Deal Junior High
School, in the Reno section. This was
revealed today by DR.. Frank W. Ballou,
superintendent Of schools.
If Congress appropriates the $4,000
carried in the 1888 budget for the
preparation of plans for the new Reno
senior high project, and If subsequent
appropriations are made annually in
the appropriation bills and not as de-
ficiency items, the new senior high
school would be available for occu-
Dancy not earlier than February /,
were constructed.
Would Build Unit First.
However, DR.. Ballou explained today.
he sees a strong probability that the
new senior high school would not be
completed at the outset, but that a
first unit. including the auditorium and
the gymnasiums and approximately
half the ultimate number of class
rooms would be built Thus, he said,
the completion time would be advanced
even earlier than February, 1885.
At present. the superintendent de-
clared, he can see not more than 300
or 900 prospective students for that
school. and he, therefore, believes it un-
wise to attempt to construct a 81 5000
plant at the outset.
Proposes Addition at Deal.
Meanwhile, Western High School,
now carrying heavy roll. would be
obliged to go on a double-shift sched
ule, providing only half days school,
ing for its students in two platoons,
unless some new high school facilities
are made available
Hence, Dr. Ballou said today, he Is
earnestly considering urging construc-
ton Of new 10-to-12 room addition
for the Deal Junior High with a gym
nasium. This, he said, would enable
the elementary schools to hold back a
larger number Of ninth grade pupils.
The Deal addition would be ready ap-
proximately six months earlier than
any construction for the new senior
high school.
