handbags and other valuables. More
than 80 per cent of the articles lost
at Glen Echo are found and even
tually reclaimed by their owners. The
remaining 10 per cent of unclaimed
articles are sent at the end of the
season to various charitable organ
izations.
Captain Clyde Mcdaniel is in COM
mand of his aides at the new three
acre parking lot at Glen Echo, and
they are personally responsible for
the parking of 800 cars every after
noon and night.
Many of the smaller amusement
features operated throughout the
park likewise require particular spe-
cialized supervision, such as the buy
ing of merchandise for the skill
stands. This is done by jovial Lieu
tenant Billy Farrell. Even the skee-
ball alleys must be inspected every
morning by Second Lieutenant Joseph
Nasiff for any defects that may have
occurred to the score recording auto
matte registers from play the previous
night
Courtesy Important Detail
The ticket sellers brigade and the
cashiers battalion, composed of Il
girls selected for their courtesy and
efficiency, is another important detail
at Glen Echo. All ticket sellers and
cashiers make their reports at the
end of each day to Captain Harry
Spicer.
OF course a well-conducted amuse-
ment park would not be efficiently
handled without an efficient secre-
tary. Mrs. Otese Hastings compe-
tently fills the bill and assists in the
many details connected with office
administration.
Gunner Norman Stuckey, late OF
the British Army, is director of Pub
lie Relations. He also occupies an
important oflce at Glen Echo, where
he arranges details for picnic parties
and is engaged in promotional and
publicity assignments.
Lastly, the Spanish Garden Ball
room, where 1900 couples dance
every night, except Sundays. to the
strains of Bandmaster Dave McVl-
liams' 12-piece orchestra, directed by
Attorney Phil O'Brien, is subject to
the same policy of efficient operation
that prevails throughout the entire
park, which represents invested cap
ital totaling $750,000.
Thus it may be seen that there IS
more to the operation of an amuse-
ment park than merely opening the
gates and allowing pleasure-seekers
to file In.
During the winter careful plal-s are
made for the season, while during
the summer there is practically no
rest for Colonel Schloss and his busy
army enlisted in providing that
magic which makes Glen Echo the
premier recreation center If the
Nations Capital.

star athletes of George Washington
University.
Eight well-trained girls, supervised
by Myrtle Faulkner, are required to
handle patrons from the time of
ticket purchase to enter the pool and
final exit from the building.
Great Responsibility Involved
More than inspections, however, are
required by Colonel Schloss, for the
operation of Glen Echo includes other
details, all involving great response
bility.
The quartermaster department is in
charge of Major Harry Cohen and
Captain Abe Schuman,. park restau-
ranteurs for Is years. Purity is the
first consideration in preparing the
thousands of frankfurters, sand
wiches and doughnuts consumed every
week by park patrons.
Major Andy's (Reuben N. Ander-
SOM popcorn, confections, roasted
peanuts, salt water taffy and candied
apples are also prepared with the care
and skill that nave made them justly
famous. A mill is part of Andy's
equipment at the popcorn stand,
where the more than two-year-old
corn is carefully shucked and
cleaned before entering the modern
electric pepper.
Another important department is
that OF Adjutant Harmon Brown, park
horticulturist. It Is due to his skill
and attention that Glen Echo is al
ways beautif1ed with appropriate
shrubs and flowers.
Upon the uniformed guards devolves
one of the most important assign
ments at Glen Echo, for they must
and do preserve good order. When
one remembers that the average at
tendance at Glen Echo is approx
mately 100000 persons each summer,
the task of the guards Is no light one.
In addition to the regular police
force, headed by Chief Dan Collins
and Privates Murphy, Soper, Day,
Howard, Sullivan and Perry, spe-
cial contingent Of plain clothes men,
patrol the park, thus insuring pro-
lection and order at all times.
Two departments that demand the
utmost in efficiency at Glen Echo are
the Midway of Fun, with % devices,
in charge of Captain Tom Mulligan,
veteran Snowman, and the penny-ar-
cade, supervised by Major Steve Mar
oney, who controls 80 different
amusements.

How many persons realize the i'm
mense amount of administrative de-
tail connected with the operation of
an amusement park?
It Is generally assumed that oper-
ating an amusement park consists OF
merely opening the gates and allow
ing the crowds to enter. What is
done, and in particular at our own
Glen Echo, to assure patrons the ut
most in wholesome amusement and
safety, is an achievement in modern
management.
The personnel at Glen Echo, num-
bering 21S, may be compared to q
well-trained army. Leonard B.
Schloss, director of the park for Is
years. is the Colonel-he recently re-
ceived his commission from Governor
Ruby Lafoon of Kentucky.
Eighty per cent of the soldiers" at
Glen Echo have been under Colonel
Schloss' command from five to twenty
years. First of all, it is the duty of
the white-wings brigade to see that
the park and buildings are kept clear
of waste paper and inflammable ma
terial. They are also required to keep
the park scrupulously clean, which is
one reason why 1t is SO popular.
Colonel Schloss' right-hand man Is
Major Joseph Hart, superintendent Of
Glen Echo Park for 23 years. Major
Hart's duties are numerous. for he Is
personally responsible for the eficient
operation of more than fifty devices,
attractions and features, and the
lighting and motor equipment.
3S2,290 Watts Light Park
BY actual record of count there are
6,346 mazda lamps, ranging from 10
to 1000 watts and consuming during
the night for Glen Echos illumina-
ton 382, ,290 watts of current.
The motor equipment under Major
Hart's direction numbers SO, ranging
from b-horse power motors on
"dodgem" cars to q rs H. p. motor
to handle the coaster dip" three-car
trains.
Kitchen and food stands, together
with electric ranges, coffee urns,
steamtables and hot water heaters,
require constant attention as the COM
bined units pull load of $4,000 watts.
Owing to the constant vigilance of
Major Hart and his aides. one seldom
finds lamps OUT at Glen Echo, and
the brilliant display of illumination
of modern design and even futuristic
character was conceived and installed
by Major Hart long before the Century
of Progress and Radio City adopted
their elaborate lighting effects.
In order to obtain the maximum
of mechanical efficiency at Glen Echo
it was found necessary several years
ago to establish q carpenter shop,
Evening star., 1935-06-26

plumbing shop, paint shop and black
smith shop; also a drafting room
where all plans are drawn before
they are executed.
Careful Inspections Daily
Before opening for business every
day, Sergeant Tom Muck. of the
coaster dips, accompanied by two
buck privates, Bill Brewer and Mike
Prather, walk over the entire ride
and thoroughly examine it. They in
spect the 1000 feet of double tracks,
the trucks and wheels of all cars, and
pay particular attention to the brakes
and see that they are working prop
erly. They also examine all founda-
tions and footings. and are person.
ally responsible for the proper train
ing and conduct of their crews.
To the carrousel, one of the most
popular rides at Glen Echo, Captain
Clarence Hurt devotes the mornings to
mechanical inspections and also assures
himself that the all stirrups, reins
and safety straps are sound. 1t is
also his duty, when the park opens,
to see that patrons do not change
from one figure to another-horse,
chariot or varied animals-or get on
and off the carrousel while it is in
motion.
Lieutenant Joseph Deebo, operator
Of 'the whip" is up early every
morning, inspecting his ten cars, the
special strand cable, pins, swivels,
shoes and springs, and assuring him
self that they are In perfect working
order.
Sergeant BUS" Starry, operator of
the airplane swings; Sergeant Arthur
Richards, operator of the "dodgem," I"
and Sergeant Julius Bolanz, operator
of the "Pretzer-Glen Echo's new
thrilling ride-also inspect their re-
spective devices every morning.
Pool Accommodates 5000
The same policy of careful inspec-
ton applies to the entire park, and
particularly to Crystal Pool, Glen
Echo's 5000, 900 swim rendezvous, that
accommodates 5000 swimmers. The
million and one half gallons of water
that flow daily through battery Of
giant filters Is inspected, tested and
checked by Major Carl A. Hechmer,
nationally known chemist and sani-
tary engineer of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary District, every
few days. His assistant is Lieutenant
Boyd Hickman, pool deck supervisor,
who also tests the water every hour.
At Crystal Pool regiment of care
takers and guards insure the safe
guarding of hundreds of thousands of
swimmers during the season. The
locker rooms are eficiently super
vised by Privates George jenkins,
Mitchell Medvek and Steve Shelton.

Carriage Pointers

For a carriage, during the
first months of baby's life, the
mother who must economic
may set her youngsters basket
bed in an older child's express
wagon. This can be wheeled
easily when the mother goes on
errandS or to the park, and the
baby'S basket can be left in the
wagon while the little one is
taking an outdoor nap on porch
or lawn.
OF course, such a conveyance
has no hood, and great care
must be taken to keep strong,
direct sunlight out of the baby'S
eyes. After he is old enough to
sit up, he may use a slight 60
cart, but should not be left in it
for long at a time, nor allowed
to sleep in it. The safety strap
never should be left unfastened.
In buying a real baby carriage
choose one at least 30 inches
long inside, so that baby may lie
flat on mattress similar to
that on his bed. A dark lining
in the hood will be restful for his
eyes. A light carriage, provided
it is strong enough to give good
wear, Is easier to wheel and

Etiquette
Gift Is Made
To Bride
BY MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it correct for your hus-
band-to-be's Stepmother to
make the wedding cake when
the girls mother is capable of
making it?
When his father and STEP
mother give them a gift for
their home quite a while be-
fore the wedding, telling him
it is for them and not saying
anything to the girl, is she
supposed to thank them for it
when he already has?
Is it correct for a girl, if
she is going to wear a sport
dress for her wedding, to have
her maiden initials or the in
itials Of her marriage name on
the dress?
E.
This is for the two families
to decide. If the stepmother of
the prospective groom wishes
to make this very kind gesture,
and if the mother of the pros
pective bride wishes to accept
this friendlineSS and generosity
(and there probably isn't any
reason why she wouldn't want
to-, then it, is entirely proper
that this offer be made.
I shouldn't think that it
would be so much the idea
that the brides mother is
capable Of making it," as it is
that the groom'S Stepmother is
being generous and friendly.
But if there is any family
question" involved, then of
course an outsider couldn't
answer this question.
This is a most unusual pro-
cedure-that a wedding pres
ent is given in this way, to the
groom-elect and not to the
bride-elect. Wedding presents,
should. Of course, always be
given to the bride. Of course
I couldn't know why this was
done, but, since it has been
done, apparently there isn't
anything for the bride-to-be to
do but accept the circum-
stances and the gift. And yes,
she should thank for it.
AS a matter of fact, if I were
she. I'd make my thanks espe-
cially gracious and enthusiast
tic, to cover up any slight
wondering" that she may feel.
His f father and stepmother
probably did this thoughtlesSly
or carelessly, meaning no harm.
It would be best form not to
have any initials on this dress,
but if the girl is especially
pining for these, she'd use the
initials Of her maiden name.

Pique Trimming

On the girl standing is a
most attractive dress with a
cape instead of a jacket, though
the cape is well anchored, for
it has pieces that cross far
over in front, and a long belt
that goes around the waist,
comes back to the front and
buckles with a. covered buckle.
Rather wide bands of white
waffle pique trim this cape, and
the sleeves of the dress beneath
are banded in it, too. The
dress has a gathered bodice
with an unusually good high
neckline, again bound in the
white, and a bold red carnation
that shows when the cape is
on, too. The color is navy with
white dots in the picture,
though it comes in other colors.
also. This costume, though it
has the appearance of being
high-priced is only $685.. The
dress would be ideal under a
spring coat, but with its cape
it is a complete street costume.

A POtted Primrose

To her sick friend she has
brought
This mall gift to show her
thought,
Setting halting words at naught.
Just a primrose in a pot,
Yet it says what she cannot,
Telling of a once-loved spot
Which in years gone by they
knew;
Rainbow flowers, skies of blue
Where the larks went sailing
through.
Suddenly the bare, poor room
Seems a meadow brimmed
with bloom,
Sweet with clovers' fresh per-
fume.
Far from crowding walls and
pain,
They are strolling down a lane,
They are young and blithe
again!
To her ailing friend she brings
With the primrose, Whir Of
wings
And the bloom of many springs!

Many Fabrics Good

Sheers, crepes, matelasses Of
silk or acetates are all good, and
they're made in such enchant-
ing ways that you will want
them not only for Easter, but
for the two or three months to
follow. and as travel costumes
for your summer vacation. The
two we have on this page today
prove it better than a thousand
words.
The girl seated wears a three
piece suit in brown, white and
beige. The jacket is of brown
crinkled crepe, silk I think, but
it's hard to tell these days. The
revers and the waistcoat blouse
with short sleeves are of white
waffle pique. The skirt is Of
brown and beige triple sheer.
The suit was so stunning that
the model just had to have one
right way. It is $19.75 for the
three pieces.

Good Play Pen

The play pen is a boon both

as early as eight months. will
find much pleasure and comfort
in this device.
Father can make one from a
packing box four feet square.
Ballbearing casters should be
placed on the four corners of
the side used as the bottom of
the pen. At least one of the
other sides should be removed
and smoothly planed Stats sub
stituted. Baby will like them
on all four sides.
He can practice creeping over

Beauty Aids

Many a girl who hasn't the

a right to beauty. But if you

the very same products used in
lush salons, give yourself facials
that will not only make you feel

tiers an ensemble of five prod
uctS at very moderate price,
This is an Introductory sample,
and you should take advantage
of the offer.
On the supposition that every
skin needs daily cleansing,
nourishing and toning to keep
it youthfully fresh and beauti-
full, this salon has packaged
these essential beauty aids and
has enclosed with them a book
let which describes three basic
treatments-for oily. dry and
average skins.
To appeaSe your longing for

pearance this spring.
This ensemble is exceedingly
helpful in determining which of
the suggested treatments is best
for your individual skin prob
lem, and you can still consider
yourself fortunate if you dis
cover that only one of these
beauty aids is particularly bene-
ficial to you, for the complete
