MEETING DATE SHIFTED
Sixteenth Street Highlands to
Meet Again This Month.

Because of the large number of
citizens associations meeting the first
Monday of each month, and so that
their meeting will directly precede
that of the Federation Of Citizens
Associations, the Sixteenth Street
Highlands Citizens Association voted
Monday night to change the associa-
tion's meeting date to the fourth
Wednesday of each month. H. I.
Quinn was author Of the motion.
The change will take effect this
month, calling foS meeting on No.
vember 26.

ment branches Of the government

as matter Of course, will aid in
law enforcement. Those vigilance
committees are simply some of
the patriotic good citizens who
have been selected to specialize in
this form Of community service.
They are not "snoopers" or anna
teur detectives, but merely civic
observers and Intermediates be-
tween Mr.. Average Citizen and the
duly constituted authorities and

Sewage Disposal Plant
Money Paid Commissioners.
VYIHILE there is keen disap-
" pointment among large
groups of civic organiza-
tions that the amount of the
P. w. A. allotment for the District
sewage disposal plant at the last
minute was cut from s8,000,000 to
$4,000,000, there Is considerable
rejoicing that at last money Is
made available to begin the job.
The movement to authorize the
Commissioners to request an al
lotment from the P. w. A. funds
began with the amount Of s20,0O0,-
600 mostly covering required and
badly needed capital expenditures.
After much discussion in the press
and civic bodies and before COM
mittees on Capitol Hill there was
passed an authorization for the
Commissioners to accept $1O75O.-
900, the items of which included
$8,000,000 for the construction of q
modern sewage disposal plant.
The 100000 plant was to be
constructed after the general plans
Of the special board of engineers
which had made an exhaustive
survey under a P. w. A. allotment
of $4,000. Most of the civic bod
les backed this movement energet-
1cally and with some Of the best
team work the District has had in
a long time. Those in the Fedora
tion of Women's Clubs, Izaak Wal
ton League and the Federation Of
Citizens Associations who were
leaders in the campaign to purify
the Potomac River are not at all
pleased at the horizontal cut in the
allotment.
There is much to be said on both
sides of this question. The allot-
ment of S8,O0O,O00 on fairly easy
terms and at low rate of interest
with only 10 per cent Of the ad-
vance to be repaid is clearly an at
tractive proposition. 1t would give
the District the benefit of a much
larger participation in the enter
prise by the Federal Government
than is the present practice. 1t
would give an up-to-date plant
which would remove most of the
pollution from the sewage before
its discharge into the river
On the other hand it would be
of more benefit, it is claimed, to
points below the District than in
our immediate waters as the COM
munities to the north of the Dis
trict would continue to make their
communicating contribution to the
waters of the District.
There is satisfaction to all in the
knowledge that the plant to be
built is an extensible one and may
be expanded to the $4,000, 900 size
and performance without discard
ing any of the original. There will
be further satisfaction If the
$4.000,000 so Unexpectedly with
held can be made available for
other needed construction and
upon the same basis.
When the adjacent States have
made their contribution toward
Kidding the river Of pollution, the
District will then be ready to COM
plete the plant as originally
planned, or It may be, the march of
science will give us an even better
one.

VOteless d. c. Women Voters
Hold Semi Annual Meeting.

IluIu JCIuI 4NACCtlhks
TINE Voteless D. C. League Of
Women Voters held their
semi-annual meeting on
election night at the University
Women's Club. More than 200 at
tended the dinner which preceded
the meeting. The president, Mrs.
Richard Hogue, presided and the
special guest was Miss Marguerite
Wells, new national president.
Reports from officers and COM
mittee chairmen and sub-chairmen
were most interesting and indicated
the many lines of activity and
study of civic and national prob
lens in which the organization is
engaged. The reading of these re-
ports followed words Of greeting
from several prominent woman
Government officials at the head of
Federal activities in which the
league is particularly interested.
Fifteen Years of Enfranchise-
ment and the League of Women
Voters" was the theme of q bril-
4ldlll duuI coo Wy MlSo WclLo, ul lIlC
course Of which she stressed the
cause of Federal suffrage for the
District. She pictured indifference
as the worst opponent Of the Dis
trict's constitutional amendment,
and said that is the reason it has
been so long in coming. For 10
years, she said, the league has
been telling the country that it
cared about the residents of the
District being deprived of the right
of Federal franchise. Recently she
has made an appeal to the State
leagues to undertake the getting of
the State Legislatures to memorial
lie the Congress to submit the pro-
posed District of Columbia amend
ment to the Legislatures for ratifi-
cation. The first State league to
respond is CALIFORNIA; which will
undertake to get the desired action
in the next session of the Legisla-
ture Of that State.

Warning Issued,


A warning against lace peddlars who
sell an inferior grade of lace on the
false representation that purchases
have been made by neighbors was
issued this week by Mrs. Sallie Much
more, assistant director of the WASH
ington Better Business Bureau, IN a
radio talk.
Mrs. Muchmore told of the COM
plant Of one woman who reported she
had purchased quantity Of such lace
from a peddlar who told her one
neighbor had purchased considerable
quantity and that another thought so
highly of it she had laid in a store
for the future. She found these
statements to be untrue.
Visitors Increasing.
Using the monthly figures compiled
by the Smithsonian Institution as a
criterion for judging the number of
visitors in Washington, October this
year shows an increase of more than
$4,000 over October, 1888, Curtis
Hodges, director of the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee, reports.
The figures for last month also
show 80 900 more persons than visited
the institution in 1882, the Bicenten-
nial year.
Already this year, 1893 ,2sO visitors
have passed through the Smithsonian
doors.
Although there has been great
increase in convention delegates in
Washington this year, the Smithson-
ian visitors are, in many cases. people
who have come to Washington for
pleasure trips, groups who are inter-
ested chiefly in the many sights Wash
ington has to offer" Hodges declared.
More than 1000 requests asking for
Washington data from every State in
the Union and several foreign coun-
tries have been answered by the
Greater National Capital Committee
during the Fall months, Mr.. Hodges
said. The majority Of these requests
and inquiries received are from people
expecting to visit Washington in the
near future.
Several hundred booklets were
shipped during october to Spain and
South America. Other foreign coun-
tries represented in the inquiries re-
ceived are Hawaii, Canada, Mexico,
Australia, Germany and France.

Washington Community Chest
The Immediate Civic Problem.

C1VIC, welfare and business
leaders at present have their
attention centered on the an
nual Community Chest campaign.
Until this important task is sue
cessfully out Of the way other
problems, to a large extent, must
mark time.
Organizations Of all kinds are
now opening their meetings to the
corps of Chest speakers, who are
again telling the story of the Com
munity Chest-what it is and how
through the so or more agencies
the welfare, charity and character
building work Of the community Is
carried on.
In some of the civic meetings
there have cropped out at times in
dications that some of our citizens
have a wrong idea of what the
Community Chest really is. 1t is
of value always to bear in mind
that the Chest is a financial fed
Grafton of the agencies carrying On
the welfare, charity and character
building work which, before its
sane businesslike methods were
introduced, required a multiplicity
of campaigns throughout the year.
This financial federation thus
maintains common treasury
from which is disbursed the funds
required by the participating
agencies to supplement and make
up deficiencies in their regular
financial support. Not only has
the cost in money and effort been
reduced through one annual CAM
paign instead of many, but other
economies have been effected by
the introduction Of modern &C
counting and supervision. Under
the Community Chest plan a much
larger part of the contributors
doller goes to the worthy object
than under the old plan.
substantial contribution to the
Community Chest is a substantial
civic investment which will pro-
duce sure dividends in increased
good citizenship.
