 rI've tried everywhere, Miss Tittle," Christell Hudson said wearily. T can't get job. They just look at me and say mo-" The head of the Title employ ment agency frowned and made meaningless pencil marks on the desk blotter. s'I'm going to tell you the truth, Christell. You haven't a chance. You'd better take the first train back home. I'll lend you the money"
 Tears blurred Christell's violet eyes and she chung to the edge of the desk to steady herself against this final blow to her hopes. "But can't go back, Miss Title. Ia rather die"
 Miss little went on as though Christeil had not spoken. You're too beautiful. No man could pos- sibly keep his mind on business with you in his office. He might enjoy looking at you but he wouldn't expect any real work from you"
 Miss little opened her purse and began to count out the train fare. Christell drew on her shabby gloves and shook her head. T can't take your money, Miss Title. All want from you is the name of some business man who needs stenographer."
 Miss Tittle looked for a long minute into the steady young face and then she sighed. "All right, child" She scribbled name and address and handed 1t to Chris tell. T believe there is something worth while behind that pretty face. Real courage"
 Christell smiled weakly as she hurried down the street.
 She turned into a 10-cent store and ordered rolls and coffee As she sat at the counter eating she thought of what Miss little had said. Maybe it was true. And if it was there was just one thing to do. She would stop being beauti- full.
 Before she left the store she had bought a pair of glasses, a ratty switch and box of bbrownish powder.
 The next morning Robert Carr, ST., glanced at the bespectacled iit- tie person who sat beside his desk. The unbecoming gray dress, the sallow complexion and the drab hair all spelled competence. "All right, Miss Hudson" he said briskly. wen give you trial"
 He led her into another office. Bob, this is your new stenogra- pher, Miss Hudson"
 Christell found herself looking into a pair of siiver-flecked gray eyes. He was the handsomest man she had ever seen. But he was also the most sullen.
 Now see here, Dad," he began, II am perfectly able to hire my own office help"
 The older man glared. I'm still boss around here. After the trouble you had with that Carry Hanson I should think you'd want my judgment in these matters. This is business office you know. not a movie set" He stamped out of the room and slammed the door.
 Christell saw young Bob Carr's jaw set in hard line. He gave

EDUCATORS ADDRESS
MANOR PARK GROUP
Present School Methods Described
to Citizens by Roosevelt and
Whittier Heads.

TWO phases Of educational work In
the public schools were explained last
night by DR.. Allen Davis, principal OF
the Roosevelt High School, and Miss
Elsie Green, principal Of the Whittier
School, at the meeting of the Manor
Park Citizens Association.
An explanation of various courses
offered at Roosevelt and the manner
in which they are taught was given
by Davis. Criticizing recent COM
plants Of communism in the school
system, Davis exhibited q book which
had been found In the possession Of
one of the Roosevelt students. Al
though title and author were of Rus
sian origin, Davis quoted part Of the
book, in which, he said, the basic prin-
ciples Of American liberty and Chris
tianity were laid down. He challenged
any one to prove any charge Of COM
munistic school teachers.
Since 1895 there has been a funda-
mental change in the methods of
teaching elementary students, Miss
Green explained.
Whereas in the old days children
were taught by memory, they are now
taught by an activity curriculum
whereby they are thrown in active
contact with the subject studied.

Eens' Association indorsing the name

CHANGE IN TRACKS
ON CIRCLE IS HIT
Dupont Citizens Group Re.
affirms Opposition to New
Street Car Line.

The Dupont Circle Citizens Asso-
eiation reafirmed its stand in oppos-
ing the placing Of street car tracks
around the east side Of Dupont Circle
at Q meeting yesterday afternoon in
the Mayfower Hotel.
The motion was unanimously
adopted after Frank G. Baldwin ex-
pressed his understanding that the
Public Utilities Commission had placed
no weight to the associations former
protest.
In protesting the proposed action,
Baldwin declared there was no assur-
ance this proposal would relieve con.
gestion at the circle, and the laying
Of the tracks would cause a deprecia-
ton of the property on the east side.
He also declared trafflc was much
greater on the east side Of the circle
during rush hours. Direct action con-
cerning the matter was left in the
hands of the associations president,
Col. Edward Bliss.
Unanimous opposition also was
expressed to Representative Ellenbo-
gems unemployment insurance bill,
H. r. 7164, on the ground passage OF
such would impose an additional bur-
den on District taxpayers. The &C.
ton was ordered brought to the at
tention of the Senate and House Dis
trict Committees and the Federation
Of Citizens Associations.
Announcement was made Of the
membership campaign being con-
Quoted by Mrs. Frederick Brooke,
chairman of the associations Mem
bership Committee. Special formal
invitations have been drawn up, it was
said, and a specified number will be
mailed residents Of the associations
area.
John Oheman, commander Of the
District National Guard. addressed the
meeting, outlining the need for q Ma
tional Guard armory here. After his
speech, the association approved q
resolution advocating erection Of q
District armory at the end Of East
Capitol street by using Public Works
Administration funds.
The association renewed Its old
stand in opposing q proposed income
tax for the District and suggested, in
case additional funds were needed, the
establishment of sales tax.
DR.. Joseph H. Heller and DR.. Ellery
G. Stowen were elected to membership.

RICHMOND, Va, June "a.
Spurious Virginia bonds to the
amount of $4,000 are being held
by New York bank, according to
letter received from the institu-
ton by A. B. Gathright, Virginia
State treasurer.
Doubling their validity, the
bank wrote that if these bonds
were spurious it would burn them.
One of the bonds, of $1,000 de-
nomination, was sent as sample
of the others in possession Of the
bank, and it was Immediately
spotted at the treasurer'S office as
being of the Kendall issue, which
was printed by authority of the
State, but was not issued.
Kendall bonds have been pre-
Sented to the treasurer's office for
payment from time to time in the

detected and consigned to the
flames. The bonds now held by

where do they think the citizens
are going to get the money to pay
more taxes. Living is hard enough
in Washington at best. It will be
impossible If we pile on more
taxes.
The Commissioners and all
other government officials should
remember that within a year or
two we are going to have to meet
q tremendous increase in Federal
taxes.
Just about the time the Com
misSioners get their increased
local taxes to work the Federal
government will hit us. Then what
are we going to do?
So far as have been able to
discover the Commissioners are
thinking only of raising and
spending money. Why don't they
work on the other side of the
proposition and try to save money.
No bureau is ever abolished in the
District government. Certainly
there is some way to save some
money for the tax-payers.-S. F.

Always Glad to Help
A Good Cduse

To the Editor OF The Times:
AS q Government employe I
want to thank you for the in
tereSt which The Times has
shown in the effort to provide
a decent leave system for Federal
workers.
Remembering as I do the lead
ing part which The Times took
in getting our pay restored, I
am delighted that you are cham
pioning the leave bills introduced
by Mr.. RamSpeck, of Georgia.
These bills wouldn't give the
Federal workers anything more
than they need. I often believe
that the public generally doesn't
realize how hard the Government
workers do work. It isn't all beer
and SkittleS with us.
Lately it has been even worse
than formerly because in add.
ton to the worries Of our jobs
we have all had personal worries
caused by the depression and
widespread unemployment.
A reasonable leave period would
be life saver to many of us.
