GROUP HEARS D. c.
BEAUTY LAUDED
Representative Engel Is
Speaker at Manor Park
Association.

Washington was praised as one OF
the beauty spots of the world by Rep
resentative Engel (Republican OF
Michigan in an address to the Manor
Park Citizens Association last night
in the Whittier School. He expressed
his belief that while Paris is the most
beautiful city, Washington is rapidly
becoming equally as beautiful.
The history behind District play
grounds and their present manage
ment was explained by Sybil Baker,
director of Fairgrounds.
She urged the citizens group to in
terest itself in the newly formed Ia
koma Playground Council and appoint
a representative to attend the council.
She stated she had no recommenda-
tions to make as to what plan In the
Weir report was best, declaring she
would approve any plan set forth for
more economical and efficient play
ground management.
Paving Assessment Hit.
The present plan of assessing abut-
ting property owners for alley paving
was criticized by member.
A resolution was adopted opposing
the formation of the tentatively named
Fort Slocum Citizens Association if
the new association encroaches on the
Manor Park bodys territory. On mo-
ton of w. H. Seaquist, the delegates to
the Federation of Citizens Associations
were instructed to urge the federation
to refuse admission of the new asso-
ciation should it apply. The resolu-
tion also expressed regret that the
new association solicited membership
from the Manor Park area.
Police Request Weighed.
A letter from the Columbia Heights
Business Mems Association was read
asking Endorsement of that group and
five other civic bodies request for 1O6
more men on the police force. This
was referred to the Police Committee.
Another resolution adopted requests
the Board of Education to name the
projected high school in Manor Park
after the late President Coolidge.
On February 4, President Ernest H.
Pullman announced, the association
will celebrate Ladies night" at which
all ladies connected with the associa-
tlon will take charge of the program.
DR.. and Mrs. Walter Leas were ad-
mitted to membership last night.

Crowds ThrOng
Triangle Clubs
Harriet Picnic

A news story carried in this paper
last week predicted that the Twin
City Triangle club picnic held at
Harriet Island last Monday would
be the seasons biggest picnic. 1t
was just that. In fact, it was the
largest picnic ever given by the
local group in the Twin Cities at
Harriet Island, popular st. Paul
public playground.
The crowd came early and re-
manned late. Features of the day
were games for old and young and
diamondball game between Min
neapolis girls teams, the Sumner
Field Phyllis Wheatley players VS..
the Norris Creamery players. The
game began quite late in the eve
ming and had to be called on ac-
count of darkness with the Norris
Creamery team winning by a de-
cisive score. At night the bathing
beauty contest was won by Miss
Barbara Coleman, who was
awarded first prize by judges. Miss
L. Lashley won second prize.
The judges in the contest were
Mrs. H. Cotton, B. F. Embree, Mrs.
Addie Few, John Williams, and H.
E. Cox. Judging in the contest was
hampered by the large crowd which
was exceedingly unruly but good
natured. 200 couples enjoyed the
dance music dispensed by Monroe's
Coloradians, while many others
spent their time socializing with
old friends and enjoying the re-
freshments served by men and
women members of the Triangle
club.
The unusual thing about the pic
mic was the fact that large crowds
were present despite the threaten
ing weather which all day long al
ternated between sunshine and
clouds. The temperature that eve
ming struck a new low, but did not

Bill Penn I'm
Shape as Net
Meet Begins

The Phyllis Wheatley Annual
Twin City Tennis Tournament adj
vanced to the quarter finals Sun
day, August 25, at Chicago Field.
Threatening early morning weather
kept many of the spectators at
home; but as the day progressed
into a beautiful calm, good crowd
turned out. One of the pleasant
surprises was the appearance of
Bill Penn, 1884 champion, who re-
turned from New York and points
East, Saturday evening. Some of
his adherents feared that he would
be off form due to his lack of prac-
tice, but in his second round VIC
tory over the driving DR.. c. H. Mo
berly, he dispelled all such ideas:
After he had defeated Adolph
Thomas, Don Strawder, popular
North High athlete, lost a tough
match to his basketball mate, Stat
ford Lott. The ever confident
Julie Penn swept through Don
Banks and Gordon Parks in a fine
manner. An upset, not particular
ly startling to Minneapolitans,
however, was the victory of the
veteran Wendell Jones over the
coming youth, Eulie Morre. Jones,
who perhaps is the age of Moree's
father, unknowingly clipped his
way to supremacy. Freddie Slem-
mons, seeded number two, easily
defeated Paul Woods and Arthur
Pitman. There will be several
good matches Sunday, September
/, beginning at 600 a. m.

Youth PIT TfllSHFW
Guilty; Gets
Prison Term

A collision with milk truck two
weeks ago is the reason why Joe
Wilson, Minneapolis youth, is now
serving term not to exceed three
years in the st. Cloud State Re-
formatory.
The auto crash which caused Will
son and a white youth by the name
of 0'Brien's arrest occurred early
one morning two weeks ago. The
car, stolen Chevrolet, crashed
broadside into a milk truck, over
turning the truck completely. Ar
rested at the scene of the crash was
Warren Breeding, SCI 9Th Ave. N,
who was seriously injured. Wilson
and O'Brien both escaped when the
accident occurred, but were picked
up later by police and admitted
theft of the car and burglaries of
over 100 places in the Twin Cities
during the past ten months. Breed
ing was exonerated by both boys
who admitted that he had been
picked up by them for a ride, and
that he was not told that they had
stolen the auto in which they were
riding at the time of the crash.
The two youths appeared be-
fore District Judge Arthur Selover,
who passed a, sentence of one to
three years on each of the youths.

Staff Cramped as
Eds Kitchen Gets
Itself Spruced Up

WASHINGTON - The White

boil of American cooking, is being
modernized into the last word in
kitchens.
While it is "having its face lift
ed" and entire body changed, in
GLIDING its contour, it's staff, en-
tirely colored, is preparing meals
in small kitchen on the third floor
An emergency affair with a
capacity production of meals for

Miss Ida Allen is the first cook.
She is originally from Philadelphia,
according to the housekeeper, Mrs.
Henrietta Nesbit, white.
First Cook Is Reticent
Efforts to reach Miss Allen for
an interview have failed consis-
tently because of her modesty and
reticence, it has been learned.
Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, the Sec
ond cook, is on leave, having re-
Gently become the mother of son.
She expects to return to her duties
by the time the new kitchen is in
working order, in October.
Mrs. Marie Black and Mrs. Cath

One Dumb Waiter

The ceiling is quantity arched,
which lends an air of antiquity.
There is a lone dumb waiter for
transporting food upstairs to the
dining rooms.
Under the new plans, Mrs. Mes
bit said, there will be a modern
cooling system. The kitchen gets
very hot. There will be walls of
the finest plaster and enameled,
seven spacious windows, indirect
lighting system, electric gadgets
of all sorts to wash dishes, grind
meat, mix food, freeze, and pre-
serve ice cream.
Cabinets will be made of stain
less and rustproof metal; all ex-
posed surfaces of cabinets, sinks,
ranges, etc., will be of non-corrosive
material.
Butler Aids With Menus
Alonzo Fields, the chief butler,
plays an important role in kitchen
affairs. He, among his other
duties, aids in preparing the menus
for the royal and distinguished
guests privileged to dine at the
White House.
Mrs. Nesbit prepares the menus,
but, she admitted, she frequently
calls upon Fields for suggestions.
He surpervises the work of the
other six buffers and the walters.

Mrs. Nesbit, a reporter saw a
colonial-looking kitchen with about
three ranges extending down an
entire side, with pots and pans
hanging in view and reminding one
Of George Washington's kitchen at
the Mt. Vernon estate. The pantry
space was surprisingly small, so
were the storage cupboards.
Located in the northwest corner
of the basement of the White House
beneath the state and private
dining rooms, the present kitchen
includes: the kitchen proper, serv-
ants and buffers pantry, a butcher
shop and a nezzanine pantry. They

An unsettling element was a new
break in commodities. Cotton
slumped more than 81 bale. Rye
was weak in grains. Minor COM
modities like rubber and cottonseed
oil were oft further. Bonds were
trregularly higher.
Rails Advance
Gains in the rails ran to a
point in Union Pacific. Atchison,
Northern Pacific and New York

decline in car loadings last week,
which was larger than anticipated,
had little effect.
Consolidated Gas and Public
