East's bid was, Of course, an out
and-out psychic. West paused a mo-
ment before he laid down his hand.
"You ought to wrap this up," he
said benignly.
East gave him wan smile. South
opened the queen Of clubs and gave
his partner a significant look when
1t held the trick He continued with
the ace and king Of clubs and then
shifted to the king of spades.
The ace took on the board. East
re-entered his hand with the king
of diamonds and risked everything
on a finesse of the nine spot Of
hearts. When that card forced the
ace East felt much better. Inciden-
tally, North does much better to
hold off the ace of hearts. That is
not q play to be forgotten, my friends.
Let the declarer use up an entry and
take D finesse a second time.
In this case, however, North took
the ace of hearts and played back q
spade. South won and continued the
suit. East trumped. drew South's
last trump and gleefully finessed the
jack of hearts. Three hearts, one
spade, two clubs and two diamonds
are exactly eight tricks.
Even If East misguesses the hearts,
he can only go down one trick. With
out club lead, however, East has a
pretty stormy time of it.

CITIZENS TO OPPOSE
LINCOLN ROAD CLOSE
North Capitol Group Also to
Fight Use Of 0ne-Man Street
Cars in It's Area.

The much-diScuSsed plan to close
Lincoln road northeast from Franklin
avenue to Michigan avenue northeast
will be opposed by the North Capitol
Citizens Association, Secretary j. A.
Crooks announced yesterday.
This will be one of the issues to be
taken up in the coming year, Crooks
said. The Executive Committee al
ready has voted its opposition. 1t
will be one of the first subjects
brought up at the first meeting Of the
association, probably September %.
One-man cars will be another item
on the 1856 program. At its meet
ing last week the Executive Commit
tee objected to the Capital Transit
Co. using one-man-operated cars. Re-
ports on the subjected stated that 1t
Is hazardous to passengers for one
man to operate the car, arrange for
paving fares and watch traffic. These
cars are very slow and tie up traffic,
1t was stated.
A survey was made on the cost Of
streets and sidewalks, repairs, traffic
lights and safety signs and other
street facilities by the Streets, High
ways and Lights Committee, which
reported that this vicinity was not
getting its share of the appropria-
tions. The association will strive to
obtain a larger appropriation from the
funds received from gasoline taxes
and automobile taxes and other
sources of revenue.
A definite program for the coming
year will probably be arranged at the
first meeting of the group.

SUCCESS IS SEEN
IN NSEWERPROJECT
Two Improvements Sought
by HiIIcreSt Citizens
Are Granted.

The successful conclusion Of II
years efforts Of the Hillcrest Citizens
Association for an Alabama avenue
southeast sewer Is in view.
In addition to the sewer project
south Of Alabama avenue southeast,
request was made for the installation
of sanitary sewer facilities for the
north end territory of Thirty-second
street southeast and word has been
received by President Rudolph Malth
that this request received the favor
able consideration Of the sanitary
engineer.
Allotment Expected.
It Is understood, Malth States. work
will be started on both projects Just
as soon as the funds for this purpose
become available. This is expected
very soon through Works Progress
Administration allotments.
The Highway Department is having
men beautify Branch avenue southeast
between Alabama and Pennsylvania
avenue southeast and Is making i'm
provements in general to streets and
alleys throughout this section Of the
city.
Malth declared: "The improvement
to streets, the prospects Of sewer ex-
tensions at an early date and the re-
cent improvement In bus service have
resulted In considerable building ac-
tivity. The section is strictly -esi-
Dental and one of the finest in the
CITY,"
Scout Troop Progresses.
The Hillcrest Boy Scout Troop is
also making great progress. This
troop Is sponsored by the Hillcrest
Citizens Association. Donald Couzins,
o member of the troop, was treated
to an airplane ride over the city for
being the first member Of the troop to
advance to first class rating.
Although meetings Of the body are
suspended during the Summer months
the various committees continue their
work, Malth declared. The next
regular meeting Of the association Is
scheduled for September 9.

ASKS ROOSEVELT COMPLETION.
PIT. A. Official Sends Request "a
Commissioner Hazen,

Completion of Roose Welt High
School in keeping with its original
plans was asked by Mrs. B. G. McIll-
wee, member of the Legislative Com
mittee of the Roosevelt Parent
Teacher Association, in a letter to
Commissioner Hazen this week, in
connection with discussion of the
1887 District budget.
She asked approval of an appropria-
ton item of S125,00o for the addition
of seven class rooms and a corridor
and emphasized this addition was a
part Of the original plans for the
building. This section of the building,
she said, was omitted because of lack
of funds.
The high school was intended to
have maximum enrolment of 800
pupils but the records of the past
semester showed 1880, or 430 over
capacity" she said in citing the need
Of the addition.
This school was built and equipped
with the understanding that pupils
from all parts of the city who wanted
the intensive business training it
offers would be allowed to come to
Roosevelt, but because of the lack of
room very few outside the local zone
Of the school may attend" she said.
She also iSdorsed the request of
the Public Librarian, DR.. George F.
Bowerman, for funds for a petworth

The Romance Of Your Name.
BY RUBY HAsKINs ELLIS.

THE Colonial settler who bore this
coat of arms to America was
Launcelot Bathurst, who was in New
Kent County, Va, in 1888. In 1883 he
was serving as clerk of the Committee
of Private Causes in the House Of
Burgesses and in 1893 he was made
high sheriff of New Kent. He was the
fifth son of Sir Edward Bathurst of
Cranbrook, County Kent, England,
where the Bathurst family is traceable
to ancient days in England when it
was in possession of a great manor
near the famous Battel Abbey, in
County Sussex.
The name Bathurst is derived from
the Saxon word bath" often applied
to hot springs. and hurst" meaning
a wooded place, a grove. Consequently

.LOW-COST HOUSING
Project PRAISED
Heads of New Group See
Even Greater Need for
Elementary School.

Satisfaction at the announcement Of
p. w. A. plans for developing Ana
costa Terrace as a low-cost housing
project was expressed yesterday by
officers of the North Randle Conlmu-
nifty Citizens Association.
After a conference with school off,
cials, the heads Of the group believe
the added number Of children In the
community resulting from the housing
project will add weight to their pleas
for an elementary school-the need
that recently resulted in organization
of the association.
School Plea Made.
At a recent meeting Of the associa-
ton its president, F. H. Christianson;
Schools Committee Chairman Mrs.
Bessie hilbert and another member of
the same committee were named by
members to appear before school off,
cials with a plea for two temporary
portable structures to accommodate
elementary school students in North
Randle Highlands.
A list of the names and addresses
of l24 children between the ages Of
/ and 10 years and In the fourth
grade or below was submitted to Rob-
ert Haycock, assistant superintendent
of schools, as one reason why facil-
between Benning on the north and
Randle Highlands on the south. Chill
dren Of the area attend the Benning
School or the Orr School, In Randle
Highlands. which. they point out. is
too far for children of that age to
have to travel.
Haycock In Agreement.
Haycock declared the projected
housing development will without
doubt add great weight TO North Ran
die residents request for grade school
facilities. 1T brings into the picture
a new angle" he stated.
An investigation by school authori-
ties will be made on the needs and
location Of the school. Haycock said,
and the completion Of the housing
development will determine when
such a structure should be built.
The Government estimates there
will be about TOO families living
there" Haycock asserted. with an
average of two children to each fam
ily." He added, however, thar these
children include all under 1S years Of
age.
High School Facilities.
Children of junior high school age
will attend the projected Anacostia
School, which will be completed about
October /. Senior high school stu
dents will be Accommodated by the ad-
dition to the Anacostia School which
has already been approved by Con-
greSs and which was authorized to
relieve congestion at Eastern High
School.
However, Haycock believes, the ad-
ditional number Of children brought
into the area by the construction of
about 700 dwellings, will probably ne
cessitate the construction of a perma-
nent elementary school.
Its location probably will be central,
between the three communities 1t must
serve-North Randle Highlands, East
Washington Park and Anacostia Ter
race.

BERLIN, August 24.-The trial Of

Petworth Library Plan
Is Pushed by Citizens
With Georgetown Branch Built, Project Now
Heads List of Recommendation
by Library Trustees.

Seeing an opportunity to secure the
principal goal of the Petworth Citizens
Association, the Executive Committee
has held a special meeting to lay
plans to obtain funds for the project
out of the 1887 District budget.
Because of the hearings on the bud
get during the past week the COM
mittee designated its Petworth Lii
hrarv Committee chairman, Horace j.
Phelps, and President Lyster H. Dewey
to appear before the Commissioners
and present the needs for library.
Project Long Sought.
The project has for many years
been before the association and now
occupies the position of major i'm
portance among improvements sought.
Last year the board Of trustees of the
Washington Public Library approved
a $l50000 appropriation for the Pet
worth item and had it listed as Sec
ond among its recommendations to
the Commissioners during the 1886
budget hearings. The first item was
the Georgetown Library. but since its
approval, the Petworth item now heads
the library trustees list of recon-
mendations.
Appearing at the hearings last week
with Phelps and Dewey were Harvey
o. Craver, chairman Education Com
mittee, and George w. Stose of the
Library Committee.
In his appeal to the Commissioners
for the library, Phelps brought out
the following: The site for the pro-
posed library is 212 miles north of
the central library and almost an equal
distance from the Takoma Park Lii
brary to the north. It is over a mile
from the Mount Pleasant branch, he
asserted.
The project would serve a popula-
ton of about $4,000, of which about
1000 are school children, he pointed
out
Five Groups Represented.
Five other groups were represented
in behalf Of the library. Among these
were Mrs. La Verne Beals, president
of the Fetworth Woman's Club; Mrs
Albert M. Jones, representing the
UOppd bOuSe CIlapleT OF IIle EdSCelu
Star, and Mrs Alfred c. Norcross
chairman of the Joint Committee on
the Petworth Branch Library, an or
ganizatio1 of several local civic bodies
Also sought by Phelps is the con-
struction of Dennison Vocational
School, OH the corner of the Tubercu-
losis Hospital site at Allison street and
Arkansas avenue. Delay until the
hospital moves to Glenn Dale, Md, in
1886, will be unnecessary, the associa-
tion argues, since the proposed site for
the school is not now occupied by any
existing structures.
A project which would, however
have 10 await the transfer of the
hospital is the creation of a recrea-
tional center, after the existing struc-
lures have been demolished. This also
was presented to the Commissioners by
Phelps.

SCHOOL ADDITION ASKED.
Takoma Citizens Seek Inclusion Ir

various official sources emphasizing the
necessity for increased school facili-
ties in that section of the National

Public Library Requests
For the Next Fiscal Year.

MODEST and reasonable are the
NA requests for new appropria-
tions for the Public Library
branches. These items are chiefly
for the giving Of library service in
sections where none exists and for
increasing the service at some Of
the branches, where it is entirely
too limited.
Schools, libraries and recreation
facilities seem to be nearest the
hearts Of the neighborhood civic
organizations. Citizens in favored
sections which enjoy fairly good
accommodations along these three
lines would almost as soon give up
their water and telephone services
as to be deprived of their school,
their library and their recreation
center.
The library items asked are as
follows: Anacostia branch, for site.

interested in the Washington water
front. The Washington Board Of
Trade has for years devoted much
time and labor to this end. The
Southwest Washington Citizens
Association has in season and out
Of season hammered away to make
the Potomac water front worthy
of the Nations Capital. For many
years claims of private ownership
interfered with the accomplish
ment of any plan of improvement.
Long legal search and litigation
finally established the Govern
ment's title to the entire frontage
on the Washington Channel from
the War College to the tidal gates.
Recently the recommendation
of the District engineer have car
ried plans for improvement Of the
frontage and the provision of an
adequate yacht basin. Though this
was clearly a Federal project on
property owned by the general
government when consideration
got right down to the point of con-
gressional committee action the
plans were modified to make the
District either foot the bill or
substantial part.
The bill as passed by the House
in the present session tagged the
District for so per cent of the cost.
The Senate assessed the entire cost
against the United States and in
conference the Districts good
friend, Senator Copeland, was able
to bring about compromise re-
ducing the District share to IS per
cent. The amount which the Dis
trict will have to pay will cover the
cost of the portions Of the work
which will be used by the District
government.
Included in this improvement will
be the building Of boulevard of
160 feet along the front, eventually
connecting Potomac Park and the
War College grounds. OF course
this bill only grants the authority
but carries no appropriation but
is very essential preliminary step
toward the solution of another old
problem.
