Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAVILLE

Yesterday, we discussed lug.
gage for men and today, just in
time for the Fourth Of July
holiday, we will describe new
types that have come out for
women, and we have had some
Of the most popular sketched.
Carries Ten Frocks
Perhaps. the most practical
piece of luggage that we have
had in many years, is a case
for carrying dresses that has
extension rods. so we can hang
out dresses with only one fold.
This fold comes at the waist
line and, when you take your
dresses out, they are as fresh
as when you put them in. This
Is invaluable to one who goes
away for the weekend, or who
travels without the comfort OF
her electric iron. This case
holds 10 dresses easily, and, If
you want to leave your dresses
in it. it is arranged so you can
pull anyone out without dis
turbing the others. It also has
pockets for shoes and space
for your other clothing, and it
is inexpensive in some feathers.
We have had it sketched today.
Small Cases Smart
Next in importance, perhaps,
is the fitted case that so many
women like and that is con
venience wherever you travel.
Smaller cases seem best, so
that you can carry only your
toilet articles and perhaps your
nightgown in them and not run
the risk of getting any OF your
clothes next to your creams or
lotions. There are very lovely
new cases on the market with
cloisonne type fittings that do
not chip. and some of the
newer cases have extra con-
veniences. such as jewel cases.
We have had one of these cases
sketched.
Women PreferBroW
The duplex case is popular,
too. This case has a separate

TABLES BILLBOARD PLAN
Michigan Park Citizens Withhold
Support in Civic Fight.

The Michigan Park Citizens Associa-
ton last night tabled a resolution back
ing the action of the American Civic
Association in its fight against insight
ly billboards leading into Washington,
after a spirited discussion by both
friends and foes Of the campaign.
The association suggested that the
matter be referred to committee which
will give its report at the next meeting.
Conditions in the Bunker Hill School,
where the association met, were deplored
by the association. 1t was declared that
40 students, embracing four grades,
were under the instruction of one
teacher. 1t was also stated that some
of the pupils were forced to attend class
in a part of the hall which had been
partitioned so as to make two rooms.
w. M. Deviny introduced resolution,
which was adopted, suggesting that the
Committee on Schools take up the mat
ter with DR.. Frank w. Ballou, super
intendent of schools.
Jesse Suter, Community Chest speak
er, in an address before the association,
stressed the need for more donations

WAR ON SIGNS AIDED
! BY FOXHALL VILLAGE
Citizens Association Lines Up for
Highway Beautifcation-Chest
Campaign Backed.

Endorsement of the Community Chest
drive and condemnation of billboards
on roads approaching Washington were
voted last night at a meeting of the
Foxhan Village Citizens Association.
The advantages Of the Chest plan
were outlined by William w. Wheeler,
chick OF the speakers bureau. He urged
that contributors think of their Chest
donations as their charity for the en-
tire year and not in terms OF what they
could conveniently spare at the mo-
ment.
Slides were shown by Richard w
Westwood Of the American Nature As
ISOLATION to demonstrate the seriousness
of the sign situation. He said the bill
boards often not only mar the land
scape, but constitute menaces to mo-
florists. He said Virginia and Maryland
authorities were cooperating in a move
nent to rid the vicinity of signs before
the George Washington bicentennial
celebration in 1882.
Active aid was pledged by the asso-
citation TO leaders Of the anti-billboarc
drive.

ENGINEER INVITES
HELP IN SIGN WAR
Virginia Identification Cam
paign win Cover Wide Va
riety of Highway Problems.
By a Stan Correspondent Of The star.

By Stan Correspondent OF Inc star.
CLARENDON, Va, January 49,
Confident that it will be impossible to
clean up the State highways in the
manner desired before the b.centennial
celebration next year without the help
of the various organizations in the diff
ferent counties of the State, j. P. Neal
landscape engineer for the Virginia
State Highway Commission, is recon-
mending that each organization take
over a certain section of road for ex-
animation, their findings to be reported
to him.
In order that this examination be
sinlplified, Neal has prepared a Ques-
tionnaire, which he is giving to the gar
den clubs and civic organizations, who
are anxious to help and which he be-
heves will simplify their task.
Questions Are Varied.
The QUESTIONABLE covers practically
every phase of highway Identification,
including the number of billboards
their location and the names of the
products advertised. It also seeks in
formation as to the rental paid by the
billboard companies to the owners OF
the land on which they are located.
Those willing to cooperate are asked
first to designate the length of road
they are going to investigate and then
the question of whether Gin your opirl-
ion this part of the highway portrays
your ideal of highway identification
and Is a credit to your community"
This is followed by space for sug-
gestions.
Asks Other Information.
The landscape engineer wants to know
whether the trees and shrubs are in
proper condition; whether poles and
wires are unsightly or interfere with
proper tree development; whether cuts
fills and bitches are raw and unSightly
and in need of planting or grading
whether the shoulders of the road
should be sown to grass.
Further questions are as to unsightly
dumps, old automobiles, paper and
trash: the number of monuments, mile
stones, legendary signs, etc, with their
location and general effect and with
information as to whether they are
susceptible to landscape treatment; the
number Of buildings falling down or in
need Of repair or plastered. with signs or
in need of paint; whether there are
opportunities for turnouts, parking
places, wayside parks which will pre-
serve natural beauty spots and scenic
views worthy of parking areas or
bridges which could be beautif1ed or
their approaches widened; the number
OF filling stations, lunch stands, barbe-
cue pits and stores, giving the general
conditions existing as to cleanliness
signs area devoted to driveways or
parking places, opportunities for owner
or proprietor to beautify by planting.
