RUMMAGE SALE
 \ DECIDED SUCCESS

The High School students rum mage sale last Saturday at the Noodle House location, was quite a success in more ways than one.
 A neat sum was realized from the proceeds which are to be used in publishing the school paper, Stewards Folly" and the many customers entering the improvised store found therein many useful articles of clothing, house decora- tionS, gifts. etc.
 From II a. m. until an early af- ternoon hour was all the time re- quired to sell the goods displayed, and when the shop" closed, very little was left to dispose of.

GARZ|A SOLO|S7
WITH LOCAL
SYMPHONY
By RONALD THORNE

AS the National Symphony Or.
chestra has approached the close
Of the current season, its con-
certs have become consistently
more enjoyable circumstance
due in part to the interest Of the
programs DR.. Hans Kinder has
devised, and in part to the de-
velopment of the orchestra itself,
which has now taken on the
aspects of full maturity and has
become an organization of which
any city might we'll be proud.
Yesterdays concert in ConStitu-
ton Hall revealed its excellencies
in a program which presented
one of Mozart's finest sympho-
nies, Cesar Franck's Symphonic
Variations for Piano." an admir-
able vehicle for Felian GarZia as
Soloist, the symphonic poem EN-
Saga" by Sibelius, and the waltzes
from "Rosenkavalier," by Richard
Strauss.
Garzia, a widely known Wash
1ngton musician, made a splendid
impression by his Interpretation
Of the Cesar Franck work, which
proved an almost ideal selection,
not only because it affords oppor-
tunity for the display of tech
nical skill but because of its
vivid appeal to the music-lover.
It has been hailed by first-rank
critics as one of the most note
worthy of F'ranck's compositions,
and it's beauties were well brought
out yesterday by the soloist and
the orchestra.
The Sibelius tonepoem, though
one of the works that won world
recognition for the great Finnish
composer, is unfamiliar to Wash
ington, for it has seldom been
presented here. It is a striking
revelation of the unique genius
Of a great artist, one of the
foremost of contemporary musi-
clans. The "Rosenkavalier"
waltzes were also most welcome,
for these also are heard less fre.
quently than they deserve.
The Mozart Symphony in G
minor, which opened the program,
is interesting not only as one of
the finest works Of the master
but because of it's emotional
appeal particularly in its second
and third movements.

MOTHER, 20, HITCH-HIKES W4Y
TO CAPITAL TO FREE HER SON

The story of a 70-year- old mother
who walked and hitch-hiked here from
Baltimore to intercede for her son in
order that he might be released from
Jail to spend Christmas at home was
told in Police Court today when Judge
Ralph Given gave the son rehearing
on charge of shoplifting.
Although the son, Charles Gregory,
IS, did celebrate the holiday in jail.
Judge Given today needed the pleas of
his tiny white-haired mother, Mrs.
Hope w. Gregory, and set him free.
Then mother and son set out for their
Baltimore home with money given them
by charitable court employees jingling in
their pockets.
Gregory was arrested in a downtown
store for the theft of a compact. He
admitted the theft when hailed before
Judge Given and had served Is days of
his 60-day term when released. He
said hunger prompted him to steal.
Some time after his Incarceration, Mrs.

had obtained possession Of the Six
teenth street mansion, was to scrap
almost everything and replace it by
moderniStic furniture in keeping with
the ideas of the new Russia.
The architects, after a careful sur
vey Of the situation, reported that 1t
would be too costly to remodel the
embassy and. from the esthetic point
of view, a pity to do away with the
seventeenth and eighteenth century
government to restore and maintain
them.
Changes Not Radical.
This Moscow agreed to- Then came
the question Of furnishing the embassy.
The original idea was to purchase IN
New York some ultra modernistic fur
niture and paintings. But when it was
decided to maintain the interior as It
existed in the old days, it became OBJ
vious that modernistic furniture would
clash to such an extent that the en-
baSsy would appear ridiculous.
Following the advice Of American
architects and interior decorators. the
Soviet representatives here communi-
Gated with Moscow and it was decided
to send to Washington some Of the
best pieces which formed the furnish
ings of the palaces belonging to the
old regime Floor lamps will be re-
placed by ancient chandeliers and the
embassy will be more like an old French
palace than the home Of proletarian
Russia.

PUPILS FREE LUNCH
PLANBE|NGMAPPED.
Officials Meeting Today Hope
to Begin Program Jam
uary Fl.
Final plans for the serving Of free hot

Final plans for the serving Of free hot
lunches to undernourished school chill
dren, as a project of the District gov
ernment in cooperation with the school
system, were being worked out today at
conferences of various officials with
Commissioner George E. Allen.
Efforts were being made to perfect
plans IN time to start the program when
school operations resume January 2.
Commissioner Allen estimated the
tentative program would call for the ex-
penditure of about 81 900 each week in
order to provide necessary food for
about 1000 school children.
Details of the program were reviewed
at meeting between Commissioner
Allen, DR.. Frank w. Ballou. superin-
tendent of schools, and Leroy A Hal
bert, emergency relief director of the
District. Later Allen and Halbert were
to confer with officials of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration.
Would Provide Cooks.
Under the plans studied this morning.
the District would provide cooks for the
preparation of food provide equipment,
food products, funds and transporta-
ton needed in the program. DR.. Ballou
would assume fun responsibility for the
preparation ana serving or the food.
The food would be prepared in schools
having cafeterias and would be trans
ported TO other schools not having such
facilities
Where Federal relief funds are in
volved Federal rules require that before
funds are dtbursed there first must be
an official finding of need.
When the school lunch program first
was planned. it was believed school
teachers could be designated to certify
the needs Of children under their care
Plan Ruled Out.
1t has been ruled. however, that this
would not be sufficient. The new plan
is to have teachers list suggested cases
for the lunch program and then to have
case workers from Halbert's staff quick
ly check the needs
The cooks to be provided by the Dis
trict would come from those enlisted
in the Districts work programs under
emergency relief funds, it is said. Much
Of the food would come from the Dis
trict's allotment of products distributed
by the Federal Surplus Relief Corpora
tion, which handles surplus food prod

Where transportation Of hot lunches
is necessary. District vehicles would be
employed.

CLUBS FAIL TO GET
LIQUOR PERMITS
Drinks on New Year Eve to
Be Sold by Only Two Clubs
in Montgomery.
More than half a dozen MONTGOMERY

More than half dozen Montgomery
County, Md, country clubs-among
them the largest and most exclusive
in the Washington area-will be un-
able to serve liquor to their members
on New Year eve.
A canvass of the organizations yes
terday revealed that all but two have
failed to apply for liquor licenses. State
ments from officials of the clubs we're
conflicting. but virtually all agreed the
high prices charged by the county
liquor dlspensaries have something to
do with their failure to apply for
permits.
Others, although admitting they con-
Sldered the prices too high" gave
as their principal reason for not apply
ing for licenses the fact the county
law requires club officers to assume
personal responsibility for all viola
tlons of the liquor regulations.
Kenwood Has Permit.
Thus far. the Kenwood Golf and
Country Club is the only such organi-
zation that has obtained a permit.
The Indian Spring Country Club has
an application pending. however. The
OISdIllZduOrS Jnat nave not applied
for licenses are:
The Burning Tree Club, Congressional
Country Club, Columbia Country Club,

Memberships of these clubs run into
the thousands and are made up, for the
most part, Of Washington business and
professional men,
Organization Discussed.
There has been some talk of banding
the organizations together for a battle
against the high prices, but thus far no
action along this line has been taken.
Of1cials of several of the clubs said
they thought such plan "a good idea. :"
but others declared they would not
even consider such thing"
The attitude of the county author
tiles, as expressed by John c. Walker. in
charge of the dispensaries, is that the
organizations have been dealt with
very literally"

said. that repeal has been in effect
less than three weeks, and that it is al
most impossible to get certain goods

FAIRFAX SCHOOL LOAN
OF $4,000 APPROVED
Literary Fund Fails to Come Under
"Liberalized" Features Of

Special DIIDlIth IA TNj NAV

FAIRFAX, Va December 27-Final
approval by the State Board of Educa-
ton of s21 900 literary loan for the
recently completed GrOvetOn Elemen-
tary School in Mount Vernon district
was announced today by w. T. Wood
son, division superintendent of county
schools.
The loan. which was applied for
prior to the enactment of certain lib
erallzlng' features in connection with
literary loans by the recent special ses-
sion OF the State Legislature, will be
repaid over period of IS years, Wood
son said. An effort was made by the
County School Board after the Legisla-
ture had nberalized the provisions of
the State literary loan law to have the
loan brought under the more recent
act, which would have permitted the
amortization over a 30-year period in
stead
It is expected the building will be
taken over officially by the county
Saturday, when Raymond v. Long, di-
