port looms up to haunt the sponsors
of an adequate air terminal for

largely In agreement that adequate
aircraft landing facilities should be
provided, though there is some diff
ference of opinion as to location
and ownership of the airport. The
preponderance of sentiment among
those who have given the question

of Gravelly Point. This Is the site
favored by the National Capital

Municipal Center Unit
An Urgent Need.

4 MONG the Districts urgent
IA needs most of the legislative
programs of the organizations
list the first unit of the municipal
center as ranking next in Importance
to providing adequate school accom-
modatlonS. No one realizes this more
than the District Commissioners who
are now engaged in an effort to work
out plan for financing this build
ing in a way which will be accept
able to Congress. The suggestion
that the Federal Government pur-
chase the present District Building
for S5,00000O upon a sort of de-
ferred payment plan would be a
reasonable and equitable way to
make start of this improvement.
Our civic bodies are thoroughly
sold on the necessity for going
cause they recognize how seriously
handicapped are the many important
municipal activities which will find
homes in this first unit The un-
suitable, makeshift quarters occu-
Police Courts, the Police Department
anu Illc 1cCOluSl VI uSSUS are uIl-
safe, insanitary and, from an eff
cheney standpoint, simply impossible.
Our legislators are sometimes in
clined to berate the District for per-
mitting such conditions to exist. But
the facts are that our civic bodies
and our District officials have done
all that is possible in urging that
these much needed quarters be pro-
vided The cure is clearly up to the
exclusively legislating bodies which
control the purse strings.
What better local unemployment
relief project could be undertaken
than this start to utilize that S.
100000 municipal center site which
Congress compelled the District to
purchase?

Recreation Centers
Require Funds to Operate.

II TERNAL vigilence and keeping
r. everlastingly at it are surely the
price of civic success. The Or
ganizations which have been striv-
ing so earnestly and persistently for
the Takoma- Manor Park and the
Banneker recreation centers have
been rejoicing over the prospect of
seeing these centers as realities as
part of the c. w. A. program for
relief of unemployment Some pes
simists always look for the fly in the
ointment, but these civic workers did
not, for they knew full well that
they would have to continue their
efforts if these centers were to have
the required funds for operation.
These organizations, encouraged by
this recent construction work, can be
depended upon to neglect no oppor-
tunity to urge that funds be made
available for putting these swimming
pools into use next Summer. They
believe they will have the sympa-
thetic support Of President RoOSe-
velt, who is our most prominent ad-
vocate of swimming pools and who
constantly enjoys the use of the
pool installed in the White House
by some of his admirers.
Airport, New Chain Bridge
And Liquor Hold Spotlight.
URING the past week civic at
tention was largely centered
on the question of the District
liquor law, the location and financing
of the proposed high level bridge to
replace Chain Bridge, and the
perennial discussion of suitable air
port for Washington. The first of
these is advanced another step
through the enactment of the liquor
law But it still remains in the
spotlight for it now devolves upon
the Commissioners to formulate reg
ulations, select control board and
have the law put into operation.
The latest development regarding
the replacement of Chain Bridge is
a rather definite understanding that
it will be located practically on
line with Western avenue, which is
the boundary between Maryland and
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
River at the dividing line between
Arlington and Fairfax Counties. An
other development is that 1t seems
to be generally conceded that there
should be an equitable distribution
of the cost Of this bridge and that
the settlement of the financing
question is an essential preliminary.
ACQUISITION Of the present private
ly owned Washington Airport in Ar
lington County. the reclamation and
extension of Gravelly Point or an
airport at another site have all had
attention centered on them during

Districts New Liquor Law
May Ruin Dispensary Business.


THAT the Districts very liberal
i liquor law will be ruinous to the
business of the nearby dis
pensaries is the opinion of some of
the civic leaders of Montgomery
County. In a way it is the same old
question as the gas tax differential.
There has been one striking vari-
alton between the attitude as to
liquor and the attitude as to gaso-
line. In the case of gasoline the
representatives in Congress of the
adjacent jurisdictions have endeav-
ored to make the District law con-
form to that of the adjacent terri
tory. Aside from the efforts of
Representative Smith of Virginia
there has been no such movement as
to liquor control.
In Montgomery County, where the
d1spensary system has been estab-
lkhed, it is proposed to erect a ware
house at a cost of $4,000. This
building is planned to serve as a
building including a large hearing
room. The Montgomery County
Civic Federation has asked the
county commissioners to hold up on
this project. The federation is
studying the question especially as
to the effect on the diSpensary busi-
ness of the expected extensive sale of
liquor in the District of Columbia
under the liquor bill which has lust
passed.

from all parts of the United States and
from foreign lands came here in 1888

Vitanins


THE essential vitamins A, B, c. and
D should be better understood by
the mother. It Is necessary to tn
clude them daily in the infants and
growing child's diet. Vitamins are
elusive properties of common foods.
They cannot be seen or measured.
We know them principally by the
marked results Of their absence. Ex-
Fermentation in the results Of Vita
min deficiencies Is done on white
rats. which react similarly to humans
when deprived Of certain dietic
essentials.

abundantly by egg yolk, green and
yellow vegetables. Send for my leaf

The laboratory rat without vitamin
A shows a steadily declining rate of
growth, developes coarse, harsh hair,
and eventually an eye disease which
has come to be considered character
istic of an aggravated deficiency of
vitamin A. Lessened resistance to

vitamin deficiency.
Vitamin b is found in many kinds OF

swept over him. 1t was all he could
do TO keep from running after her.
He did half start. Then the feeling
that he was free, that he could do

evening before, but Bowser the Hound
had been chasing them then and in
the excitement he had taken no note
of his surroundings. He had Just fol-
lowed his mother. Now there was
no mother to follow. He turned and
scuttled back into the bramble- tangle.
Not until he was way back in the
middle OF it did he feel safe. There
once more the feeling of independence

through 1t had been cut by a Rabbit,
