MUTE, "A,
DANCE MARVEL

Lucille Hillengas, 14-year-old
deaf mute, has become a star
dancer.
Hearing nothing, asking for no
explanations, this little wonder
has mastered the terpsichorean
art far beyond some members of
the Fox Theater Dancing School,
where she is now receiving in
struction under Miss Margaret
Oulahan and Miss Helen Kerney
Lucille, who entered the class
in September, has gained untold
advantages since then. She has
lost her worried expression and
has assumed a smiling and
happy disposition.
Not only does she excel in the
art of the dance, but Lucille is
also proficient as a center in
the basketball games C Gallau-
Diet School, where she is a stu
dent.
The little dancer has always
been an admirer of the dance,
having evinced 4 profound ad-
miration for her cousin, Florence
French, a well-known Washing,
ton dancer, since her early child
hood.
None of the other members of
her family is afflicted with the
same impediment She lives at

FAIRFAX GRANGE
To ASK ROAD

A shorter route south from Mt.
Vernon will be sought by a conf
mittee from the Mt. Vernon
Grange of Fairfax, Va. when
they meet with the resident en-
gineer of the State Highday De-
partment toward the end Of the
week.
The new route, if adopted,
would join with the Richmond.
Washington highway at Wood
lawn and would shorten, by
more than five miles, the course
of tourists who visit the home
of Washington on their way
South.
The new road. however, would
not replace the present road,
which joins the highway at
Gum Springs, but would COM
plete a half-circle road system
joining the highway at both
points and eliminating the neces"
sity of tourists retracing their
course.
The committee will also ask
the widening of the bridge ct
Dogue's Run, on the Richmond
Washington highway. This
bridge has been the scene Of
many accidents during the past
winter, three people losing their
lives when bus collided with q
truck on the narrow passage last

With word reaching Washington
that IA States are preparing to
adopt new income tax laws or to
amend their old ones, members Of
Congress who have advocated i'm
position of this tax in the District
are preparing for new efforts to
have this form adopted when the
new Congress ConVeneS.
In any revision which is at
tempted of the fiscal policies Of
the local government as a result
of the change in relations be-
tween the District and Federal
governments, the income tax pro-
posal is bound to take a leading
part in December.
King Studies Matter
Senator William H. King (D.)
of Utah, leading member of the
Senate District Committee, has
long advocated a complete revi-
sion of the taxation system of the
District and he is now making a
study which will supply him with
ammunition for leading the fight
for such revision in the new Con-
greSS.
Imposition of an income tax
and an inheritance tax en- citi-
zens of the National Capital is
the fundamental of the King pro-
gram.
Would Solve Problems
He believes that the income
tax is the most equitable method
of assessment and asserts that its
use in the District would solve
many of the financial problems
of the city.
Thus far, the Senator has been
able to gain but few converts to
his proposal.
However, with legislatures in
IA States considering and pass
ing such laws for their own
States, it is regarded as likely
that considerable support will be
won for the King program.

HOOVER CAUGHT
IN AUTO JAM

President Hoover, who is an
interested student of traffic prob
lens, today is wiser in regard to
traffic jams.
The Presidents personal expert
ence with a bad jam came yes
terday afternoon as he was re-
turning from a weekend at his
Rapidan fishing camp.
Approaching Washington by the
Alexandria road, the presidential
party ran into a jam on Highway
Bridge and was held up for As
minutes, despite the efforts of
Secret Service men to untangle
the Snarl.
The final obstacle to be re.
moved was an ancient car, driven
by an old colored man. This
battered machine Stubbornly re-
fused to start and finally the
driver discovered it was out of
gasoline.
Mrs. Hoover and her son Allan,
who left the camp ahead of the
President in Mrs. HOOver's car,
came to the city by another
route and missed the jam.

JAIL VIEW

Petitions requesting the people
of Hyattsville, Md, to state
whether they are for or opposed
t" locating a Jail and police court
in the former First National Bank
building at the corner of the
Washington Boulevard and Spen-
Ger Street, were placed in public
centers of that nearby town to-
day.
Petitions Posted
The petitions are headed:
Information for the Com
miSSiOnerS of Prince Georges
county at the request of one of
its members"
The documents failed to give
the name of the commissioner
who is responsible for their dis
tribution.
Drastic steps are being taken
by a number of Hyattsville Off
cials to keep county leaders from
establishing Jail in the bank
building, which is situated in the
center of the business district Of
the town.
Council Fights Jail
Action was first taken when
the town council passed an ordi-
nance prohibiting the establish
ment Of a. jail within the city
limits without obtaining its en-
dorsement. Letters of an urgent
nature have been sent to Gov
ernor Albert c. Richie, the county
commissioners and county dele
gates by Mayor H. T. Willis, pro-
testing against the proposed jail
location.

study which are designed no
only to foster interest in Georg'

day anniversary fete but also tt
inspire a desire to cleanup, paint
up, fix-up and plant-up.
An Illuminating explanation O.
the views which prompted tn
Board of Education to approv'
the essay contest is given in thu
following statement by DR.
Learned:
"At its meeting on April l,
1881, the Board of Education
gave its approval to the clean
up campaign extending from
April 20 to May 18, inclusive,
with particular reference to the
desire of the committee of the
campaign to have conducted an
essay contest among the school
children of Washington.
Medals to Be Prizes
The general subject proposed
for the essay contest was en-
titled, "Beautifying Washing
ton for 1892" Presumably
his was suggested in view of
the coming bicentennial celebra-
tiOn next year. The essays are
to be confined to 800 words or
less, and rs prizes, one gold
medal, IL silver medals and IL
bronze medals, are to be
offered for students attaining
success in the competition.
"The whole project was
viewed by the board as
essentially interesting from an
educational standpoint. 1t was
felt that it could rightly take
its place as an effort in the
expression of ideas well fOrmu-
lat. j and put into good English
by our English classes such as
we have in all Of the schools.
1t was this view of the matter
as a study in expression de-
signed to be Thoughtful and
well presented that led us
promptly to the decision. 1t
seems to us likely to be Stim-
ulating in many directions,
advantageous to the young
..eOpIe who should be moved
to take pride in a city already
beautiful but still capable of
additional beauty"
Important, Says BallOu
DR.. Ballou, in his endorsement
said:
81 regard the purpose which
the essay contest aims to
achieve as of great Importance
to this community. If the chill
dren can be interested in the
work of beautifying our city,
this interest will of necessity
extend to the home, resulting
in a neighbOrhOOd program Cf
Identification which will be in
keeping with the splendid civic
improvements now in progress"
Mr.. Kramer said:
"The essay contest represents
an effort to interest the pupils
in a civic endeavOr of great
value. Through this campaign
and the interest which it will
arouse in the children, It is

DESIGNED
FOR COUNTY
PROJECTS
Roads, Schools, Police Will
Receive Outlay; Five Weeks,
Are Allowed for Disposition

In order to arrange for refund
naent of $5OO,OOO of current ponds
laid against the new courthouse
site, certain road construction,
other school construction projects
and to meet the deficiency in ex-
penditures in connection with
suburban police stations, the
board of commissioners of Mont
gomery county has directed Capt
Joseph C. Cissel, of Silver Spring,
counsel for the commissioners, TO
take the necessary steps for the
issuance of the new bonds.
Resolution Asked
Captain Cissel is directed to
prepare proper resolutions, forms
of bonds, maturity, and form of
advertisement of the refunding
bonds. It is expected that these
bonds will be sold at public sale
at a premium and will probably
bear 4 per cent interest. The
reason for the expectancy of a
premium is that municipal and
county bond markets are said to
be good now.
Authority Granted
It will require about five
weeks to effect this refunding
issue. Since Montgomery county
is in a choice financial position
in bond markets, no difficulty is
anticipated in the successful sale
OF the new issue. The authority
for the reissue was granted by
the recent session of the Mary
land legislature.
