him she cannot marry him. When the
agent, Mr. Colver, offers to show them
a furnished apartment, Jeb asks Agnes
to see it alone, saying he must return
to his Office. Agnes consents and Jeb
leaves. A radio is blaring terrifically
from one of the apartments. Colver
raps upon the door, which is opened
by q scantily clad girl who draws
Agnes into the room. COlver finds her

Our National Tree

The national tree of the United
States is the sequoia. The only place
in the world in which 1t grows is Cali
fornia, and there only in certain re-
strIcted regions. II was selected as
the national tree in a popular contest
held in 1885 in which 100000 women
and children voted. Second choice in
the contest was the elm and the third
choice fell the pine. The sequoia Is
not only the national tree, but the
largest, and probably the oldest tree
in the world is of this species. This is
the General Sherman thought to be
between four and five thousand years
old. 1t is 273 feet high and So feet in
diameter at the thickest point. It
stands in Sequoia National park.

you were told that you could have
the pick of the Cubs to strengthen

FEELS RELIEF CUT.
Pleas for Clothing and Shoes
Show Big Increase in

Requests for clothing and shoes
from the Student-Aid Committee of

creased noticeably as soon as cuts in
the relief rolls of the public assistance
division Of the Board of Public We'll
fare went into effect last week, ac-
cording to Mrs. E J. Dowling, chair
man of the committee.
Eight families applied to the COM
mittee for assistance from Wednesday
through Saturday, Mrs. Dowling said
today, and each request came from a
family which had been dropped from
the relief rolls. Ordinarily at this
time of year only one or two families
would have needed help in a similar
period, she declared.
Eight families may not sound like
a great DEAL" Mrs Bowling explained,
but when you consider that the last
relief check these people received was
exhausted only last Wednesday and
that the weather since then has been
mild, the unusual increase is signifi-
cant. Food and shelter needs are
bound to be more pressing than cloth
ing requirements"
Anticipating further increase in
student needs, Mrs. Bowling said that
appeals would be made at once for
additional funds for the committee.
The Powell Junior High School has
already contributed SIS, she reported.

BY J. A. O'LEARY.


The plea of the Federation OF Cit

share of the 1887 District appropria-
tior bill be fixed at $8,3l7 ,500-the
amount originally recommended by
the Commissioners-is expected to be
presented to the Senate subcommittee
considering the measure, when hear
ings are resumed this afternoon.
Through L. A. Carruthers, chairman
Of its Committee on Fiscal Relations,
the federation also will present the
plan it adopted Saturday night for
the establishment of a commission to
determine annually in the future what
the participation of the Federal Gov
ernment should be in the upkeep OF
the National Capital.
The subcommittee also is slated
to hear a group of other witnesses
during the afternoon on playground.

Slashed by House.
The $8,317,500 lump sum recon-
mended by the Commissioners when
they submitted their original estimates
last Fall was put back by the Badget
Bureau to the amount for the current
year, $5,700,0o0. The House went
much further by slashing the budget
proposal to s2,700,000. The Commis-
sioners began in 1884 suggesting the
$8,3l7,500 figure, which represented
an average of the various annual Fed
eral payments Congress appropriated
during decade of lump sum practice.

ward Saturday night for dealing with
the fiscal relations problem in future
call for creation of permanent COM
mission, which would recommend a
fair Federal share after studying the
needs for the city for each year The
proposed commission would consist of
one Senator, one Representative, two
District citizens, two taxpayers ap-
pointed by the President and q fifth
selected by the other four from pri-
vate life. The fifth member from pri-
vate life would be nonresident Of

ploye and not local taxpayer.

tailed items in the bill are Harry N.

Mrs. Carroll Johnson, first vice
president of the City-wide Playground
Council, will urge the Senate to re-
store sl2,345 to keep more of the play
centers open for a longer period Of
the year. This sum was recommended
by the Commissioners, but dissllowed
by the budget.
Rufus S. Lusk, secretary Of the
Washington Taxpayers Association,
will be heard in opposition to any
increase in the House item Of $1,506,-
