T., the broccoli neighborhood, little known either to his own fam- fly or the villagers. His mother, Mrs. Luigina Di Cicco, and 8 sister, Mrs. Joseph Savino, still live there.
 PaSquale and Thelma were mar ried twice for good measure, once by the justice in Prescott, and again. quietly. in Hollywood church.
 But after two years, a sober faced Thelma Todd appeared in court, answered briefly a few ques- tions about her charge that Di Cic- co was "surly and unpleasant in the presence of guests" and re- ceived her divorce.
 And in the meantime, she had made venture into serious drama under the sponsorship of Roland West, former actor, a writer, and producer.
 For this play, "Corsair," she changed her name to Allison Lloyd, a fateful name made up by numer- ology from the names of associates in the venture. Allison was the name attached to 8 great sheaf of flowers sent to her funeral.
 
 Goes Back to Comedy
 But her public practically de- manded that Thelma go back to comedy and become Thelma Todd again, and she did.
 Contrary to the hoydenish parts she played in these slapstick af- fairs, Thelma Todd loved grandeur and elegance, and was most fas- tidiouS person.
 The appointments of her home were very elaborate, including a vast bed 8-9 feet.
 But there was a practical streak in Thelma. and a business head. A year ago, in partnership with West as financial packer, she opened "Thelma Todd's Sidewalk Cafe" in the garage near which she was later to meet her death.
 She often joked about the cafe, attributing its establishment to the Upton Sinclair Epic movement.

Married and Divorced

There was many a disappoint- ed young swain in 1892 when Thelma married Pasquale Di Cicco in Prescott, Ariz., and came on to Hollywood for her honeymoon. She had always, been the life of the party, just as she was at that last party at the Trocadero.
 Di Cicco, a New York sportsman, dark and handsome, had met Miss Todd during a vacation in Los Angeles, and they were frequently seen together at sports events be- fore their marriage. Di Cicco, son of a well-to-do Italian broccoli farmer on Long Island, had gone in for polo and then for minor parts and an actors agency in Hol- lywood. He never took his bride to the broccoli ranch on Long 1s-

The pOStOmce department has received a request from the commission in charge of the tercentenary celebration of the state of Rhode Island for a postage stamp cOmmemorating the 3OOth. anniversary of the colony. The celebration will be held in 1886. Another conn memorative scheduled for next year will be known as the Ar kansas Centenary stamp. The commission in charge of the celebration in the state has been requested to submit a de- sign for the proposed stamp, but has not as yet done so. As soon as the design is received at the department and is given the ap- pr0val of officials, authorization of the Arkansas stamp will be announced.
 While the postmaster-general has not as yet acted officially on the application for a Rhode Island stamp, it is taken for granted that he will do so with in the very near future and will authorize the issuance of a g. cent stamp in recognition of this commonwealths tercenten- ary celebration. It has been the policy of the postmaSter-general to grant requests of the various states who apply for special is- sues of stamps in commemora- tion of their centennial celebra- tions. Those who are behind the application from Rhode Island, therefore, are confident that their request will receive favorable consideration from the postoffice department in time for its tercentenary.
 A variety of the Boulder Dam stamp was reported recently. There are two white dots, one in the top center of the stamp, the other breaking the frame line at the upper right. The variety occurred on the left stamp from plate number F.21- 466. The gum shows to slight circle dents on the back of the spots.

FLOOD CONTROL
PLAN |SPUSHED
IN MARYLAND

BLADENsBURG, Md, April %.
Flood control in the eastern
branch of the Anacostia River
is to become nearby Maryland's
biggest relief project, if members
of the flood control committee,
meeting here last night, have
their way.
The committee decided to ask
the support of all civic, church
and club organizations to agitate
the project before State and Fed
eral public works heads; to pc
tition Maryland's Senators and
Representatives for their aids.
and to appeal to both the Secre-
tary of War and the Secretary
Of the Navy to back the project
for reasons Of national defense.
Channel Favored
The committee also adopted
plan B, developed several years
ago by War Department engineers,
providing for a 180-foot channel
from Magruder Bridge, at the Dis
trict Line and the Anacostia
River, through Bladensburg to the
point where the Eastern Branch
forks into the northwest and
northeast branches. This plan
would cost about 100000. Such
project would eliminate the
periodic floods Of two main ar
terieS into the District at a point
rich in historic interest, it was
said.
Plan To Be Pushed
Likewise, flood prevention would
hasten development of the stream
by the Maryland Park and Plan
ming Commission into an extended
parkway, similar to Rock Greek
Park.
Mayor Fred Cast, of Cheverly,
was designated to lay the plans
before Public Works authorities
today, while John S. White, of
Colmar Manor, was named to pc
tition Maryland's national legisla-
tors to actively back the project,
and M. H. Davis, project super
visor of the E. r. A. for Prince
Georges, was named to stress the
Importance of the work before
State relief directors.
