CITIZENS DEMAND
PLAYGROUND OPEN
Lack of Supervisor Scored
by Resolution of Sixteenth
Street Group.

Strongly protesting against the lack
of a supervisor for the A. r. Shepherd
School playground, the Sixteenth
Street Heights Citizens Association
last night indorsed the drive Of the
executive committee in this field at
4 meeting in the school.
President Samuel Loveless, chair
man Of the executive committee said:
This is the only playground in this
vicinity and the children do not have
access to it because there isn't super
visor to see that the children do not
get hurt or any damage is done to the
school building. The chilol en- of this
neighborhood will not have a place to
play this Summer nor do they have
place to play after school," he con-
tinued.
There are 800 homes and 1900
people in this locality without single
playground available, it was reported
at the meeting.
Supervisor Asked For.
The association indorsed resolu-
ton to obtain supervisor for the
playground and authorized the execu-
Z tive committee to continue to push
the matter. A copy of the resolution
was requested sent to the Board of
Education.
The Takoma Park Citizens Asso-
citation has encroached upon the area
4 of the Sixteenth Street Heights unit,
I, 1t was reported by the executive COM
mittee.
The area on the west of Sixteenth
, street to Fern street on the north,
! which is included in the Sixteenth
Street Heights Association, has been
taken over by the Takoma group, it
was said. This was protested to the
federation, which replied that the Ia
koma association had the right, ac-
cording to the regulations governing
civic organizations, to acquire this ter
ritory. A resolution was adopted pro-
testing against the move by the Ia
koma association. The Executive Com
mittee was urged to confer with the
Takoma group and act for the interest
of Sixteenth Street Heighs Associa-
tion.
Drive for Members.
The meeting last night was de-
voted to a membership drive and an
elaborate program was put on by Mrs.
Margaret E. Smith, chairman of the
Entertainment Committee for the
evening. It was called social night.
Refreshments were served, including
cakes baked and donated by the ladies
of the civic unit.
A resolution was adopted request
ing the Commissioners to have a
speed limit sign placed on Kalmia
road on the west of Georgia avenue.
A resolution protesting against the
burning of trash in nearby Maryland
was adopted and will be sent to the
Public Health Department.
The group adjourned until october.

reach for their spoons and han

A baby can be taught to
practice self-help in feeding
himself at an age earlier than
many mothers dream.
It is a good idea to begin as
soon as possible the teaching
process, even if it seems ter

mother.

She "Ditched" Him

Dear Miss Fairfax:
We had three or four scraps,
and I finally "ditched" him,
but I guess it was a good deal
harder on me than it was on
him, because I heard of him
being out almost every night
with other girls.
At last I decided to pocket
my pride and make up with
him, so I wrote him a nice
little note and asked him to
call. He paid no attention to
this. Then I met him and said:
Bob, I'd be glad to have you
come round again."
He said:
Thanks, but you have ditched
me once, and I'm going to
stay ditched."
I felt just as if he had
slapped me. BONNY B.
It's a woman's privilege to
change her mind, and you took

rid myself of them?
What can I do for the dark
circles under my eyes?
What is the best method Of

hair that has been hennaed?
Sincerely,
Dear Miss L. B.:
For the lines around your
neck I would suggest first a skin
bleach "a gentle bleach) and
then a nightly massage of a
little warm, pure olive oil.
For your eyes, massage them
each night with a good rich
nourishing cream. And when
you come home in the after
noon from whatever you have
been doing, lie down and apply
eye pads of absorbent cotton
soaked in a good astringent.
Ammonia is also uSeQ 10

best way is to let the dye grow

HAPPY PERIOD
I believe that Harry and
Maybelle are not mistaken in
their love. But 1 also think that
their marriage will be more
satisfactory if they first learn
to know each other better,
study each others tastes and
temperaments.
And as limit for this de-
liciously happy period of mutual
questioning and discovery, I
suggest three months. Nothing
will be lost, something surely
will be gained, and the parents
will be pacified.
But though I am certain this
advice is wise, and though I

belle to follow it, yet if these
young lovers do surrender to
