ASKED BY GROUP
HiIIcrest Citizens Indorse
Request Voiced by
Takoma Park Unit.

The Hillcrest Citizens Association
last night Endorsed q resolution
adopted recently by the Citizens Asso-
citation Of Takoma, D. c., requesting
the Public Utilities Commission to re-
duce the gas rates in the District to
correspond with wholesale rates paid
by Virginia subsidiaries and indie
pendent companies for gas manufac-
tured in the District.
The rate paid by these Virginia
companies, according to the resolu-
ton, is liz per cent cheaper than
consumers in Washington are paying.
Members of the association were
urged TO cooperate fully to defeat
the proposed bill that would give the
District Commissioners power over the
Board of Education. 1t was suggested
that barrage of letters from individ-
ual citizens, written to the Commits
sioners, might tend toward having
this bill removed.

rs really too bad to dub this frock
one for mature figures. 1t is such
a good little dress and worthy OF
better appellation. But it
seemed a good idea to get 1t across
to you that this model has been de-
signed in sizes from 16 up.
It isn't always an easy matter to
find a simple sports dress that looks
well on the Juno type. There are Ger
tain tricky details that must be
avoided, but this design is distinct
success, we think, for 1t is young and
smart, and has perfect lines. The
neck line Is q variation of the surplice
idea, SO universally becoming, but in
stead of proceeding in the usual
fashion to the waist, it meanders of
under the arm, good inches about
the normal waist line. A button
fastens the blouse together, and the
collar Is as youthful and naive as you
could wish. The skirt has a pleat at
either side seam.
It's about time to sing the praises
of pique-white especially, for there
is nothing that launders more per-
fectly than does this fabric, which is
perennially smart and attractive.
Whether your laundress attends to
these matters for you, or whether you
dabble them out yourself, your pique
frocks will emerge fresh as daisies.
Wide wales, or narrow, or bird's-eye
weaves are good for everything from
accessories to evening dresses, and are
especially successful in dresses of the
type illustrated. Piques. this season,
are sometimes hand-blocked in simple
patterns, and often they appear in
the lovely pastels Of the season-lilac,
pink or blue. OF course, there are
other wash materials that are equally
