Grand Picture To
 Shown Tuesday

Two of the biggest pictures this business has ever known were "The Ten Commandments" and "The King of Kings" Now De Mile has made a third picture which reaches the pinnacle of entertainment.
 THE SIGN OF THE CROSS" is the circus of the screen! It has the lure of Flesh-the bacchanalian re- vels that made, and still make, the world gasp. Beautiful slave girls, courtesans, harlots, their only pur- pose to outdo each other in the or giastic rites loved by lustful Cae- sars. A flesh-mad emperor-Nero- loving, living, laughing crimson streak across the world, painting the ancient city red with the warm blood of his victims, just for a sad- istic thrill. Naked women, their helpless beauty pitted against the ferocity of frenzied animals while Nero icks his lustful lips. Pulsing, primitive and passionate life - at the highest summit and lowest dep- ths of depravity-all moulded by the hapd<of genius into kaleido- scopicf Spectacle that is at once stu pendous, breath-taking.

LOCAL NEWS Blizzard Last Two Days Is Causing
 Traffic Trouble

The blizzard and snow storm which has been blowing in Nome for the past two days apparently has the "earmarks" of continuing for a while. Considerable snow has drifted in several places, and many operators of automobiles were con- fronted with the difficulty of get ting stuck, which many of them did. However, most of the streets are still pasable for cars late today
 But if much more snow falls, es- pecially during the soft wet wea- ther, efforts will have to be made to clean the streets and again make them passable for auotombile traf- fic.

PRESIDENT CRITICIZES
LACK OF CIVIC INTEREST
East Washington Heights Group
to Disband Unless Residents
Indifference Ceases.

Attacking the apparent lack of civic
interest in residents of the community
w. K Harman, president of the East
Washington Heights Citizens Asso-
citation, has announced there will be
no more regular meetings of that
group unless more residents attend
the meetings.
Mr.. Harman declared that on sew
eral occasions one woman was the
only member who attended scheduled
meetings. He said he is willing to
adopt any plan whereby citizens will
be induced to attend the association
but so far all plans seem to have left
them Indifferent.
There has been no discord among
officers or members Of the association
50 far as he knows and he says he is
at q loss to explain the present atti-
tude of residents In view Of the fact
that 30 many improvements could be
secured In the area through the ef-
forts Of Q citizens association.

CITIZENS ARE GRATIFIED
BY TRACKAGE REMOVAL
Anacostia Citizens Feel New Plan
Will Provide More Direct
Route to City.

The Anacostia Citizens Associa-
tion can take part credit for the Pub
lie Utilities Commission order for re-
moval of street car trackage in the
southwest section. The order was
issued last week and the actual re-
movage will take place as soon as
possible.
At a recent meeting DR.. George C.
Havenner, president, pointed out that
the proposed substitute plan, whereby
the cars running from Anacostia and
Congress Heights would 60 as far as
First and E streets southeast. then
turn north on First street to the
Union Station and thence downtown
would be more direct route to the
city proper and be more advantageous
to the citizens of that area than the
present route now taken by the cars.
The track removal will call for SUBJ
stitution of bus service for the present
street car service along Four-and-a-
Half street southwest and for aban-
donment Of tracks along Constitution
avenue and a section of the line run
ming to Anacostia. A rerouting will
take care of service along the stretch
Of the Anacostia line.
Citizens of the Washington High
lands Association are also materially
affected by this change and the same
use of both street cars and busses
while the actual removage is being
done. applies to them as well as to
the Anacostia group.

The Greater National Capital Com
mittee Is at present working to build
up attendance for the convention of
the American Federation of Organi-
cations for the Hard Of Hearing. Inc,
which is to be held here June Is to
%, inclusive.
Local officials hope to have one of
the best conventions in the history
of the organization. The Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee is sending
booklets to 1875 local groups of this
organization for distribution among
the members. The committee also has
furnished many cuts for use in va
rious publications and secured time
over the RADIO for Mrs. James Flack
Norris Of Boston, president Of this
organization.
The convention of the A. z. A. is
another that is to be held in WASH
ington in June. Buttons, banners and
a great deal of other material was
sent by the Greater National Capital
Committee to the convention of this
organization in Omaha last year, to
be used in the campaign to bring
the 1884 convention to Washington.
The committee is now sending out
5000 letters to members of the organ
ization extending individual invita-
tions. Each letter is accompanied by
"Highlights of the National Capital"
a booklet published by the commit
tee.
Publications of the trade are be-
ing supplied with cuts and material
by the committee to build attendance
for the meeting of the National As
sociation of Master Plumbers to be
held in Washington, May % to 81.

MICHIGAN PARK GROUP
PLANS JULY PROGRAM
Recreational Development Sought
Through Rousing of Civic In
terest by Exercises.

Plans are now under way for a
Fourth of July celebration by the
Michigan Park Citizens Association.
to be held on the Turkey Thicket
playground. A committee of five,
headed by Dr. William Deviny. has
been appointed to handle the program
Fireworks and other Fourth of July
activities, such as races and games,
have been planned.
Behind the celebration Is the pur-
pose to get the people of this COM
rnunity interested in the development
of this area. Many civic improvements
have been sponsored by the associ-
alton, chief among which is the
Turkey Thicket playground, on which
the group wishes to have tennis courts
and other recreational improvements
made. Such a celebration, it is felt,
would further tfc community spirit
and speed the public desire for better
developments. 1t was to this end that
a committee of five was appointed to
study the feasibility of an athletic
club.

A tuberculosis Challenge
To Citizens Associations.
T N A recent address DR.

TN A recent address DR.. ]. w.
Peabody, superintendent of the
tuberculosis Hospital, appealed
to the citizens associations and
other civic bodies to get behind the
campaign to fight the spread of
tuberculosis. This is a challenge
which has already been accepted
by the Federation of Citizens As
sociations through the adoption of
report Of its Committee on Public
Health. The doctor, under five
heads, outlines the steps which
should be undertaken to bring tu-
berculosis under control:
l. Establishment of a well or
ganized central clinic, adequately
ly stated.
2. Establishment of open-air
classes or schools.
3. Establishment of preventoria
and health camps for children.
4. Establishment of a completely
stated receiving station for all
tuberculosis cases.
5. Establishment of sanatoria
capable of caring for all who need
treatment.
There has long been a sympa-
thetic interest by citizens associa-
tions in the fight against the white
plague. The first suggestion of the
inadequacy of the present Tubercu-
losis Hospital came from the Piney
Branch, Petworth. Brightwood, Park
View and Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Associations many years ago.
When these bodies joined forces
and opposed erection of the Gal
lenger Hospital on the site now
occupied by the Roosevelt and
Mcfarland High Schools they de-
clared it as their belief that the
tuberculosis Hospital was improp-
erly located and unsuited for the
purpose. They then urged and
have since favored the erection of
proper institutions for the treat
ment of such cases on large tracts
of land away from the SCOT and
dust of the city.

Better Homes Contest
Continues to Add Supporters.

TURING the past week every
- civic body which met went
on record indorsing the Star
Better Homes Contest. The neigh
borhood citizens associations con-
tinue to select the necessary COM
mittees to handle the work in their
sections. Among last weeks en-
dorsers were the Association of
Oldest Inhabitants, and Central,
Friendship, Anacostia, Burroughs,
Washington Highlands and Chill
lum Heights Citizens Associations.
AS an additional incentive the
Washington Board of Trade has
offered another prize of $100 for
landscape improvement. This ac-
tion by the board is further evil
dence of the general and enthusi-
astic support the movement is re-
celving among all civic bodies
throughout the metropolitan area.
The idea of effective team work
has seemed to get a stronger hold
on the organizations than ever
before. Civic leaders see in this
working together many possibilities
for similar team work for other
District objectives.
Another encouragement to those
laboring in the Better Homes cause
is the fact that this campaign
seems to fit in with plans of the
administration to make it easy for
home owners to improve their
homes. There remains much work
to be done by the many neighbor-
hood flying squadrons in signing
up the entrants. There Is evi-
dences Of work of this kind being
under way as shown by the in
creasing demand by these commit
tees for more entry blanks.

Conference Group
Suggests Plan for
FisingD.C.B C.Budget
Commissioners Would
Prepare Bill After
Public Hearings.

A plan whereby the District Com
missioners would be granted power to
prepare the budget after public hear
ings have been held and submit the
total direct to Congress was drawn
up at meeting of the Joint Con-
ference of Northeast Suburban Citi-
zens' Associations when it met last
week at No. IL precinct

conference, said the plan would do
away with the many hearings now
necessary before Congress appropriates
the sum for the District budget He
said the Commissioners, after hear
ings had been made on all items,
would present the lump sum for con-
gressional appropriation.
Delegates from the four member citi-
zens' associations. including Dahlgren
Terrace, Brookland. Burroughs and
Michigan Park, will report to their
respective associations with recon-
mendations that the plan be sup
ported.

PLANS FORMULATED
TO KEEP BOYS CLUB

More than 500 residents of Kenil-
worth met in the Kenilworth School
last week to formulate plans for con-
tinuance of a boys club organized by
r. j. Wardes and backed by the
Kenilworth Citizens Association and
members of No. IL precinct.
Inspector L. I. H. Edwards and
Capt. Marks of the Police Depart
ment advocated continuance of the
club. Practice in parliamentary pro-
cedure, supervised exercise and Or
ganized sports were advanced as rea-
sons for supporting the club. Cash
and athletic equipment were donated
by the group in attendance.
The club was formed by Wardes
last December among some of the
boys in the vicinity of his home Using
the basement of his house for a gym
nasium, Wardes confined most Of his
early work to boxing instruction, but
the popularity Of his teaching soon
spread to other boys in Kenilworth
and he was forced to look for more
suitable quarters. Wardes managed
to secure an abandoned school porta-
bic in the 1400 block Of Kenilworth
avenue northeast where he has con-
tinued his work.

of the distinction which has come
to its neighborhood in having the
name of B street changed to Inde-
pendence avenue. They declare,
however, that they would much
prefer having the long delayed

insist that the old Jefferson Build

Authorizing Commissioners
to Borrow p. w. A. Funds.

THE bill granting authority to
the District Commissioners
to ask Of the Public Works
Administration an advance to the
District of S20,000,00O has passed
the Senate and been favorably
reported by the House District
Committee. Chairman Norton,
with the assistance of the House
leaders. is going to attempt to Sc
cure its passage during this week
under a special rule. In citizens
association circles the schedule of
projects in the pending bill is not
as satisfactory as that proposed by
the federation at its meeting two
weeks ago. Divertine of $2,OOO,0 900
for park projects, to be expended
under the Capper- -Cramton act, ne
cessitated revision of the list. Rep
resentatives of the federation and
other bodies sought notifications
OF the bill before the House District
Committee. but changes were
avoided for fear that they would
prevent its passage.
The granting Of these funds
after Congress gives the required
authorization will permit the
prompt starting of a number of
projects representing pressing &C.
cumulated permanent improve
ments. Civic organizations are in
complete agreement that there is
ample justification for thus going
in debt because of the immediate
need for the improvements and
because the terms are perhaps bet
ter than would be obtainable
through a long-drawn-out system
OF annual appropriations.
From late information it an
pears that the p w. A. funds are
already exhausted before the Dis.
trict gets its authorization to bor-
row. 1t seems to be as related in
the old story, there amt going to
be no core" unless Uncle Sam
produces another annie.
