URGE NURSES HOME

Piney Branch Citizens Would

A proposal to convert the nurses

into a branch library when it is va
Gated was urged in a resolution
adopted last night by the Piney
Branch Citizens Association in Roose-

G. L. Shorey, president, appointed
a committee, composed of w. E. Hoff-
helms, F. C. Merritt, S. H. Pellen and
r. w. Cushing, to formulate q plan
of action.
Pellen had introduced a previous
plan to erect a branch library at
Georgia avenue and Upshur street,
but this was voted down, due to the
fact that new structure would in
volve a cost Of $375,000, to be borne
by District taxpayers.
A resolution favoring control of
all recreational activities (including
the Community Center Department.
by the Board of Education and the
National Parks and Planning Com
mission was adopted.
Another resolution opposed the
plan to give District Commissioners
control of school appointments.

CITY HEADS STUDY
GARGES SUCCESSOR
Considering Appointment of Ro-

tary to Board.

The District Commissioners today
were considering appointing Roland
M. Brennan, chief clerk of the Engi-
neer Department, as secretary to the
Board of Commissioners to succeed
Daniel E. Garges, who died last week.
The board meeting broke up for
lunch at noon without any action
being announced. The Commission
ers were to convene later today and
an announcement may be made before
nightfall
Among plans being considered by
the Commissioners is a proposal to
combine the offices of secretary to
the board and the chief clerks job,
thereby saving about $4,000 annually
In salaries.
The position of secretary to the
Commissioners has a base salary of
$500, graduated up to $6,400. Bren-
nan, who has been in the District
service about rs years, now receives

BARKING DOGS SAVE
TWO FROM COAL GAS
Awaken Colored Girl, Who Finds
Mother Almost Overcome and
Sister Unconscious.

Two barking dogs early today saved
the lives of a mother and daughter,
made i'll from coal gas in their home,
921 Third street.
The dogs awakened Florence Car
rington, II, colored, asleep in q room
on the first floor, who rushed upstairs
in answer to calls from her mother,
Mrs. Winnie Darlington, "a. There
she found the mother almost over
come, and her sister, Elizabeth Car
rington, 16, unconscious. She sum-
moned the Fire Rescue Squad, which
revived the girl and took her to Freed
mems Hospital for further treatment
and gave the mother first aid.
The dogs apparently had been
aroused by the mother calling from
the upstairs room. The coal gas had
escaped through hot-air ventilator
which led into the upstairs room from
a coal stove in the room below.

PLANS.
REFERENDA BILL.
Drafts Measure to Give
Commissioners Authority
to Find Sentiment.

Drafting of a proposed bill to give
the Commissioners authority to hold
referenda on pending civic problems
to ascertain public sentiment has been
started by Corporation Counsel E.
Barrett Prettyman at the direction
Of Commissioner George E. Allen.
The move is in keeping with dec
laration by Allen last Summer after
his plan to stage a referendum in
Takoma, D. c., to determine whether
liquor should be sold there, had been
blocked by an injunction in District
Supreme Court. The court held,
with other things. that the Commits
sioners could not transfer to residents
Of the section powers conferred upon
the District by Congress.
In planning the proposed bill the
Commissioners are seeking to avoid
such an issue by stating definitely
that the referenda would be advisory
only. One reason for the injunction
in the Takoma case was that Com
missioner Allen had announced he
personally would be bound by the
decision of the voters.
It is planned to restrict the ref
erenda to not more than two year,
apparently to hold down the pos
sible cost of voting, but any number
of questions might be submitted to
votes in any one referendum vote.
Allen believes this would be q good
means of giving the Commissioners
the benefit of the sentiment of the tax
payers on pending District problems.

MISSION HONORS
AUNT OF AVIATRIx
Portrait of Late President Shows
Family Likeness to Pacific
Flyer.

The portrait of Mrs. Harriet Ear
hart Monroe. the late aunt of Mrs
Amelia Earhart Putnam, Americas
most famous aviatrix. has been given
place Of honor at the Gospel Mis-
sion, 214 John Marshall place.
Aside from the relationship and
close resemblance between the two
women, the mission honors Mrs
Monroe as the president emeritus OF
its Board of Trustees at the time of
her death in washington more than
six years ago.
An evangelistic meeting was held
last night by Supt. Harvey v. Prem
tice, and a card placed by the por-
trait of Mrs. Monroe as reminder
to the homeless men in attendance,
read: When did you write to
mother?"
Although SO years old when her
portrait was painted by Mathilde
Leisenring in 1925, according to Mr.
Prentice, her famous aviatrix niece
closely resembles her.
Mrs. Monroe lived many years in
Atchison, Kans, where Mrs. Putnam
was born, and came East in 1885 be-
cause of poor health. Washington
was her home during the next three
years. Then she went to Philadel-
phia to live, returning here in 1901
to make her home in Washington
until her death.

FOR SCHOOL
GAMES D|SPELLED
Quinn Says Reorganization
Plan Aims to Promote
Competition.

Whatever fears fans may have had
that the annual series of high school
games might be Cancelled as result
of the student outburst last Fall were
laid to rest yesterday by the special
Physical Training Committee Of the
Board of Education.
Called by Henry I. Quinn, chairman,
to consider reorganization of the phys
ical education department, Quinn de-
clared the purposes of the reorganiza-
tion plans are not to curtail the inter-
high school contests, but to encourage
and promote them.
With the retirement of DR.. Rebecca
Stoneroad as director of the depart
ment at the end of this month, the
appropriation for her salary will be
utilized to employ a man to outline
a comprehensive program of health
and physical training for the entire
system, from the kindergarten to the
teachers college. DR.. Stoneroad has
headed the department since its inau-
guration As years ago.
Remaining Sought.
The committee will ask the Board
Of Education to rename the division
the health and physical education de-
partElent. Stress will be placed upon
regular health examinations and
training as well as the usual more
vigorous sports. A program of intra-
mural activities also will be intro
duced.
It was voted to have a man head
the department with a woman as his
first assistant in charge of girls ac-
tivities. Charles H. Houston, member
of the committee. opposed the desig-
nation of specifying that a man
should rank first and woman sec
ond. prefering to select the better
qualified of the two as the ranking
officer.
Before making the selection, the
committee will confer Informally Sat-
urday with DR.. Jay B. Nash of New
York University, an authority on
public school physical education, who
will be in Washington to attend a
meeting of the Physical Education
Association of the District Of Co.
lumbia at the Y. M. C. A.
Survey Is Suggested.
Henry Gilligan, also a committee
member, suggested a survey should
be made to outline the scope of work
to be undertaken by the larger, re-
organized department. Quinn, how
ever, said no funds are now avail
able for a survey, but suggested that
the new head of the department
might undertake such a study him
self before launching program.
At the suggestion of Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle the committee also
considered embracing traffic and pa
troll work as a part of the new work
Of the department.
The committees recommendations
will be presented to the whole board
tomorrow afternoon.
Evening star., 1935-01-15

the teachers and other supervisory
officers are to be heard when the
hearing is resumed next Monday
afternoon. Because of the length of
the first two sessions, Henry I. Quinn
suggested that if necessary a night
session also be held Monday night so
that all evidence may be taken for
the boards ultimate action.

president of the board, presided in
the absence Of Dr.. Hayden 1ohnson,

A reduction in the Florida prospects
has been more than offset by the great

Caring for Pets
BY HORACE MITCHELL.

More Eagle NeUs.
THE king of birds is still around.
He comes to the place and perches
on one of the chinneys or on the big
wooden ball atop the cupola and looks
down across the country. When
Everett Billings gets within sight Of
him, the bird cocks his head and
watches to see If "Ev" has any meat
for him. At nights the king rooSts in
the pine trees a quarter of a mile
away, where the town has a park.
Once the crows see the eagle they
mob him, zooping after him and
cawing distractedly. But they never
dare to get within reach of his long
black talons, or that wickedly sharp
bill. So far, the bird hasn't killed
anything. not even for food. We've
watched him down on the shore eating
dead fish washed in by the waves, and
he'll feed on whatever dead animals
or birds he finds. But after a good
while of observing him it seems that
the bird books are right. Bald eagles
don't ordinarily kill their food them
selves. If the birds are very, very
hungry, it may be another matter.
One of the families that live in
town only during the Summer has
told the local storekeeper to feed the
eagle on clean meat scraps and send
