Sheer black hose are having
quite a vogue for afternoon and
evening wear with black gowns.
They seem to go with them bet
ter than any color, though the
stockings must be gossamer in
their sheerness. This is a trend
well worth watching this fall and

40 times as much in getting rid Of

40 times as much in getting rid Of
snow.
In addition, according to the Times,
another S1.000.000 to the initial ST.
100000 as the job progresses.
In the District there is rigid con-
centration on getting traffic lanes
plowed clear Of snow first. After
wards the regular street cleaning
force is used to clear intersections
in downtown Washington and busy
intersections away from the concen-
trated downtown traffic arteries. F
and G streets are cleaned from the
Treasury to Fifth street because of
the enormous amount Of pedestrian
traff1c on these streets. II there Is
money in sight, extra men are hired
for this work of cleaning intersections.
Usually the program is to transfer to
the refuse department men from the
highway. sewer and water depart
ments. This is the logical step, as
these men would not be able to work
at their own tasks when the ground
Is covered with snow.
C. w. A. Workers on Job.
This year a new element entered
the picture when the c. w. A. men
were allowed to shovel snow yesterday
and today. Previously the c. w. A.
administration had an ironclad rule
against allowing c. w. A. workers to
do any snow removing, holding that
this was not q constructive" project.
Evening star., 1934-02-28

Relaxation of the rule vas made only
because the snow here had become q
traffic hazard. and on the additional
ground that unless allowed to move
snow many Of the c. w. A. workers
would have to remain idle as long as
1t was on the ground.
The city Is mapped into 80 snow
plow routes. As soon as snow OF any
large proportions falls 80 trucks are
equipped with the plows and the work
of pushing the snow out Of trafic
lanes begins After the snowfall has
ceased the street cleaning force, and
extra men where possible begin dig
ging out the downtown intersections.
For this purpose, in addition to
the time -honored hand shovel. the
city refuse division has two auto
matte leaders and five hydraulic
hoists, which attack q large pile Of
snow and in a short time have trans
ferred it into waiting truck. Dur
ing heavy snowfalls the division hired
extra trucks to cart the snow away
to sewer manholes or to the river.
The trucks pushing the plows. how
ever, are all owned by the division,
and especially equipped for the at
tachment of the plows
Most of the present technique Is
the result Of q general campaign for
more efficient removal of snow in
1926. Tomorrow's article will revive
the history Of that Campaign and
show how it worked out

ing his contention that Hart would
present the case to a grand jury

set for continuance.
The Judge granted Hart's request
after he was told the prosecutor
sought . warrant for another man
said to be connected with the gambling
house. Whelan cited five other cases
! wherein, he said; the Government had
taken the defendants before the grand
jury without hearings.

CAPPER AIDS DRIVE
OF CIVIC GROUPS
Says Organizations Prevent
"Civic Disaster" in Vote.
less District.

Without organized groups of citi-
zens. there would be "civic disaster
in the voteless National Capital. SEN
ator Arthur Capper Of Kansas, former
chairman OF the Senate District Com
mittee, said last night In q radio ad-
dress urging Washingtonians to join
associations in their own communi-
ties.
These associations" said Capper,
potentially represent the District and
its various sections for the reason that
membership in them is open to every
reputable citizen of the community.
If any citizen, through indifference
or other cause. neglects to join with
his neighbors in this work for the
common good, he has no valid reason
/ to complain that the views expressed
by his neighborhood group do not re-
fleet his opinions. .
Praises Organizations.
While the District Is indeed un-
fortunate In being deprived Of vital
and fundamental rights, think 1t Is
extremely founate in having in op-
Grafton to comprehensive q system Of
citizens organizations looking after
the neighborhood needs and through
its central body, the Federation Of
Citizens Associations covering those
general community problems which
are Of general community interest.
congratulate the District Of Columbia
on its fine array Of active civic Or
carnations.
Washington has a fine Board Of
Trade and q fine Chamber Of Com
merce, each doing constructive work
of real benefit to the District, and
I would not in any way detract from
the importance of these organiza-
tions.
But, my friends, it Is to these
neighborhood associations one must
look for the best cross-section Of local
opinion. It may be contended, and
1t Is probably true, that these neigh
borhood organizations by their actions
are not always correctly representa-
tive of the sections for which they
undertake to speak. This is, how
ever, due in large degree to the small
numerical strength Of the associa-
tions in question.
AAsAS AhsSAVos Au8s
1T Is to correct this very weakness
tnat this general membership cam
paign is being held.
II have marveled at the unfag-
ging interest of the leaders of these
District organizations as they have
come to me time and time again in
the interest Of their neighborhood
and in the interest of the entire
community. Their committee reports
and resolutions bear testimony to
their intelligent understanding as
well as their devotion to what they
recognize as a patriotic duty.
Il have found them uniformly re-
liable as to the information supplied
and usually reasonable and public
spirited in their demands. I say they
have been and will continue to be .
real and practical help to the COM
mittees Of Congress dealing with
District affairs.
Since the people Of Washington do
not enjoy the privilege Of the ballot
and have no representation in Con-
gress. 1t seems to me the best way to
obtain these important privileges Is
to build up . largely co-ordinated rep
resentation Of citizens in the various
citizens groups bent on this accom-
plishment
With all the earnestness I possess,
I say to every resident Of the Dis
tr1ct: Join at once the citizens asso-
