RACING LIKELY !
IN VIRGINIA

Passage of a measure to permit
parimutuel betting in Virginia
seems assured at the coming ses-
sion of the Virginia legislature in
January, according to advices from
various sections of the Old Domin-
ion today.
Normally the measure would not
have a look-in, political prognosti-
Gators declare. However, the State
has reached the peak of taking
real estate and officials are now
seeking another means Of supple.
menting revenues. The race track
is one means.
Pointing to the nearby State Of
Maryland, proponents declare its
income from legal betting has been
of great benefit and solonS of Vir.
ginia think it is time they started

Proponents of the measure feel
the greater portion of revenue
from race tracks should go toward
maintenance Of schools. At pres
ent there is considerable agitation
throughout the State for an in
crease in State aid to schools.

Avenue westward. had neither
water mains nor sewers; not even
a trunk line sewer was provided
for the large area. There were
no police or fire departments, no
telephones or electric lights, no
graded and few improved streets.
Modern homes were rare.
Those residing in this new sub
division soon realized that if
they were to get necessary i'm
provementS for theiA territory,
they must perfect an organization.
So this citizens body was formed,
with Col. Charles c. Lancaster,
an outstanding worker in all
civic matters, elected first pres
ident.
Streets Improved
Under Colonel LancaSter's lead
ership, an active campaign for
improvements was waged. Streets
were extended, electric lights
were supplied, transportation
service was improved, and soon
the entire area was enjoying all
the civic comforts that reason
ably could be expected.
The old Tenley school build
ing, a relic Of ancient history,
was compelled to serve the needs
Of the community, not only for
educational purposes, but for
various types of neighborhood
gatherings. It had by many
years outlived it's usefulness for
educational purposes, being en-
tirely inadequate to accommodate
the large number of children in
attendance. A movement was
started to obtain funds for an
up-to-date new school, and sue
cess attended the efforts. On
September 18, 1925, the associa-
ton held its meeting in the new
Jannay school.
Police Station Obtained
Through persistent work on
the part of this pioneer associa-
ton, appropriations were OBJ
tained for a new up-to-date po-
lice station, which was opened
July /, 1927, with Captain Stott
in charge. The precinct is now
in charge of Captain John E.
Bowers, with personnel Of go
men.
Street improvements were in
sisted upon, with the result that
many thoroughfares were ex-
tended through the entire area
to connect with Wisconsin and
Connecticut avenues. The Wis
consin Avenue hill was graded
and widened upon request Of the
association.
The association has opposed
consistently any change in the
zoning laws that would permit
business of any type being To-
Gated in their territory west of
Wisconsin Avenue, and has in
sisted that the law permitting

A decision on three Maryland

Fourteen States are backing

Senator Tydings today pointed
out that this project already had
been approved by the chief Of

needed to sanction the widening
of the canal to $50 and deepen
ing it to II feet is the approval
Of the PWA.
Other projects are the appliea-

Through a strainer, ordinary
whites of eggs we're formed into
a ''thin" white and a "thick"
white. Both of these, and whole
whites untouched by strain
ers, were tried out in cakes.
Just what the results are has
not yet been decided. And any
way, baking angel cake is only
one of the many interesting and
important studies being conducted
by the Bureau Of Home Econom-
les in it's food utilization section.
Content Of Foods Studied
Reports on the fiber content of
fruits and vegetables, the compo-
sition and nutritive value OF soy
beans, and the makeup OF milk
have been issued.
Vitamin contents Of wheat, rice

Diets for hens which will bring
about better quality in eggs have
been discovered.

To the volunteers Of The Wash.
ington Times Good Fellow Club for
1898, Merry Christmas.
The club, the oldest organiza'
ton for Christmas giving in the
District, is disbanded today to
await another year.
Due to the generosity of the
Good Fellow Of 1888, hundreds Of
Washington children today are
enjoying a Merry Christmas.
These are the children Of the
"underprivileged" class, children
Of jobless fathers and hard work
ing, anxious mothers.
There are. unfortunately, many
listed in this class today who, q
few years ago, were themselves In
a position to play Good Fellow. In
their letters to the Good Fellow
Editor, confirmed by the club files
many said they had been Good
Fellows in years past. Their char
ity today is being returned.
Among the bright spots in this
years campaign the Good Fellow
Editor likes to recall:
The Civil Service Commission
whose holiday party netted several
hundred toys.
The Government Printing Office
where a similar fete filled dozens
nf little stockings
Jobs Daughters
The two branches of Jobs
Daughters who cared for some
20 or 80 families.
The Volunteers of America who
sent 20 baskets.
The hack driver, "Mr. H." who
took care of two families.
The colored man who gave us
a money donation, saying it was
for white or colored." He told
us that he, himself, had been left
fatherleSS at six and knew the
sorrows of the empty stocking.
He refused to give his name
but said he was fairly prosperous
and taking care of a number o1
his own race. The money to the
Good Fellows was "eXtra."
The dozens of sections in Gov
ernment departments who took
over a family or families.
Anonymous CartOOnist
"Mr. c." who took over perma'
nently the care and education Of
one lad.
The Political Study Club whose
holiday party resulted in some
20-odd toys for us.
The two or three hundred in
dividuals who provided Christmas
toys, ets., for one or more fami
lies.
And, last but not least, the
famous cartoonist (name with
held at his request) Who sent us
a generous check, partly for food
and partly for toys. He wrote
''When / visit the earth again
I want to be Santa Claus"

What this all about? Are we about to enter into
other war? Did you governors discuss the possibilities of
another war with the President? If so why going
into another war? Is Roosevelt sending these young
out under false pretense to plant trees with the intention of
preparing them for war? Did any of you governors try to
discourage another WARP Or you all patriotic that
you pledged yourselves to Roosevelt that when does
break out will be the first to enlist and to
actively the front How of you made that pledge?
Are you going to be where the bullets fly or are
you going be your mansions with the National Guards
around protecting you?
! We farmers and workers don't want war!
We want peace happiness and something to eat Fur
thermore still paying for the last war; and you will
well remember the suffering heartaches and bloodshed
caused by that lost the only brother had in the

what fought for only for the financial benefit of few
And still you would pledge yourselves to lead all other states
in quotas of young to enlist in another to
