IT Is an axiom Of the comic theater
that any prank in which Victor

a play contains not only Mr.. Moore,

public benefaction. You may think
this to be enough encomium for the

George Jessel was among those who

theater could approximate the man?
Mr.. Merivale's voice is the best on the

1t isn't only umbrellas that they

into the bins where the lost arti-

There are always hundreds of

which is seldom claimed.
The department just keeps all
these articles stored away for a
period of about 80 days and if
they aren't claimed in that time,
returns them to the street-car con-
ductor or motorman who found
them.

D. c. TOL|CENSE
900 MORE TO
SELL BEER
Stores in Residential Areas to
Get Permits Under Re-
Gently Passed Law

The Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board expects to grant nearly 500
new permits to sell beer and light
wine in bottles for off-sale use,
as a result of recent enactment
of a law which extends the beer
and wine selling privilege to mon
conforming stores" in residential
zones.
Most of the applications now
pouring into the A. B. c. Board
are from old-time neighborhood
grocery stores which were in bust
ness in residential sections before
the coming laws made it illegal
to start new commercial projects
in residential zones.
July 2 has been set as day
on which the first of these new
applicants will be passed on. 1t
is expected by the board that
there will be considerable opposi-
ton to several applicants, but
that most of the 500 stores which
are expected to be heard from

consumption. The license fee for
this class is 500 a year.
Meantime the A. B. C. Board is
already running under the re-
duced personnel made necessary
by the act of Congress cutting
down the appropriation and max
ing it dismiss the field force of
inspectors.
The only checking the A. B. c.
Board will be able to do all next
fiscal year will be to find out
whether about $50 of the 1450
liquor dealers are putting District
liquor stamps on all the bottles.
The board has decided that it will
not be able to check on the en-
tire array of dealers, but con-
sioers that, inasmuch as there
ale about $50 dealers selling all
sorts of hard liquor, it will con-
centrate on the group doing the
big end Of the liquor business.

BALLOU PLANS
NEW SYSTEM
Of GRADING
'John Is Doing This and That
To Replace A, B, c, D and
F II Change Is Made

Changes in the method of grad
ing students were considered to-
day during a session of the
character education institute be-
ing conducted by the District Of
Columbia Department of Educa-
ton to prepare teachers to carry
out the character experiment to
be launched in 10 public schools
in September.
Instead of the present mark
ing by the letters A, B, C. D
or F, the educators discussed the
ACCESSIBILITY of sending a descrip-
tive statement of the progress of
the pupil.
New Method Shown
The new method was illustrated
by the following examples:
"JOhn is doing only average
work in history because he does
not seem to be doing his home
work. He Is doing superior work
in mathematics because he pays
attention in class, is always
sure that he understands what
the assigned home work is and
then successfully prepares his
home work."
Superintendent of hools
Frank w. Ballou, who has re-
Tented on the "press gag" with
which he had surrounded the ex-
pertinent, explained that the new
system of grading probably would
be tried out in several Of the
schools involved in the character
training project.
May Be Extended
If successful, he pointed out,
the system would be extended to
all of the District schools.
Before such action would be
taken, he stated, the membership
of the parent-teacher organiza-
tions would be asked to consider
the question.

. GROUPS RULE
ALLEY BOARD

President Roosevelt's purpose in
creating a new administrative
body to administer the 100000
alley clearance fund is plainly
shown in his letter to Commits
sioner Hazen to be based on his
desire to have the widest possible
view of the problem, and to bring
together all possible technical and
social talent in clearing away the
slums and replacing them with
better housing.
The District Commissioners had
offered to take on the full re.
sponsibility of the entire job, but
in his letter to Commissioner
Hazen President Roosevelt said:
"The contribution which the
District government would be
able to make through its exist
ing agencies is recognized. At
the same time it is quite evil
dent to me that there are
factors involved in which other
groups are interested and en-
titled to recognition.
"These agencies are the
Washington Com mittee on
Housing, the members of which
have played an important part
in the development of the move
ment; the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
which has contributed largely to
the advancement of the legiSla-
ton, and the Public Works Ad-
ministratiOn, which will be con-
cerned in technical and finan-
cial phases of the project"
