u. S. is HELD LOSER
IN ZONING BODY CUT
Active Voice in Decisions Declared
Important to Interests Of
Federal Government.

Officials interested in DEVELOPMENT of
Washington feel the influence of the
Federal Government Is to be weakened
appreciably on the Zoning Commission
when the director of Public Buildings
and Public Parks Is abolished, under the
Presidents reorganization policy.
The only other strictly Federal oficer
now serving on the commission is the
architect CT the Capitol, but officials
point out that his jurisdiction Is limited
to small section of the city.
The Commissioners of the District.
the architect of the Capitol and the di-
rector Of Public Buildings and Public
Parks make up the Zoning Commission.
The authorities who feel that the Fed
eral Government should retain an &C
tive voice on the commission say that
some arrangement should be made in
the shake-up, SO that this will be in
sured. They say that as the Federal
Government has extensive properties in
the city, 1t is keenly interested in the
subject of zoning here.
Lieut.. Col U. S. Grant Sd. retiring
director of Public Buildings and Public
Parks, has always contended that no
development should be permitted here
which would overshadow the dome of
the Capitol and he has likewise taken
a lively interest in all coming matters
He was particularly well qualified to do
this through his first-hand knowledge
OF new developments here and because
OF his service on the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.

~ rounds of Paramount cinema cir ma
midst of filming Lewis Carroll S
immortal Alice in Wonderland" there
seems to be no Alice.
Studio executives are scratching thelr
heads Day by day they have gone
along in a white heat of anticipation
at the prospect of transplanting Alice
from print to celluloid. Day by day
they have signed UP various players to
be queens and duchesses and mad
matters and march hares. And, day by
day, they have scanned the lists of their
favorite actresses to see who might pos
sibly undertake the role of Alice with
out success.
Paramount now Is asking. beseeching,
pleading with the public to send in
suggestions. Here are the points to be
solved:
/. Should Alice be girl or a woman?
2. Should she be English or Ameri-
can?
g. Should she be a blond or a
brunette?
4. Should she be selected from among
the lists Of Hollywood's trained actresses,
or should she be an unknown?
S. And who besides Alice is the
most popular character in Alice in
Wonderland" and Through the Look
ing CLASP"
Our own little replies might be as
follows: She should be a girl-there-
fore she should not be Clara Bow,
Allison Skipworth or Marie Dressler
She should be an American who is
able to speak English. She should be
a brunette-therefore, she should not
be Mary Pickford. She should not be
selected from among the lists Of Holly
woods trained actresses" inasmuch as
there Is no such thing. And favorite
characters should be a toss-up between
Humpty -Dumpty, the Rabbit, the
March Hare and Tweedledum and
Tweedledee.
Incidentally. this list of questions
suggests that maybe no one has read

mount lot. Copies, with Mr. Carroll's

any library at exceedingly modest
prices.
