any preliminary soaking.
If it is SO easy for experienced
cooks to forget to preheat the oven,
think how much greater the likeli-
hood in the case of a young bride!
But today's bride will not have to
worry about heating her oven be-
forehand, for with her electric
range one-step baking is possible.
She just places her cakes and
roasts in the cold electric oven aft
er which she turns on the switch
and sets the control" Not only
does this simplify her task but her
results will be more than gratifying,
thanks to the draftless, heat and
moisture-controlled construction of
the oven.
Heat Is Controlled
Even. the surface units of the new
electric range possess miraculous"
tendencies. They send forth meas
ured, controlled heat by the mere
| twist of a switch. The lowest speed
or heat, in particular, is a boon to
brides because the heat is so low
and SO well controlled that anti
scorch cooking utensils namely
double boilers-may be checked Of

ment. -

Recreation Needs of District
Are Outlined by Mrs. Phelps
Fairgrounds Protect Lives, Women's
Leader Declares in Ciuic Broadcast.
ScIeer to Talk This Week on Traffic.

Mrs. Phelps stated last week. ut
seems that one budget-like woe treads
upon the heels of another" she added.
Citizens groups are too often found
lacking in assistance and suggestions
in beginning an annual budget. Be-
fore making suggestions, however, an
inventory of our present facilities
should be taken. The first requisite
is land. In 1924 the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission was
organized by law. 1t acquires parks.
parkways and Fairgrounds. In 1880
the Capper- -Cramton Act appropriated
$16,000,000 from the Treasury for
purchase of lands, to be reimbursed
by the District. Since its creation,
the commission has acquired l,709
acres of land, of which 100 specifically
are for recreation.
The school Fairgrounds are pur-
chased by District Commissioners
when appropriations are made by Con-
gress. The National Parks Service
has control of development of the
major portion Of the parks in the
District At present, this office con-
trols about $500 acres. This service
has provided for and issues permits
for many types of recreation. The
four swimming pools of Takoma Park,
Mckinley, Banneker and Francis
Junior High are operated through
concessionairie, the Welfare and
Recreation Association, under a fee
system. Children under IA are al
lowed free swimming at these pools
from 10 to IL am. daily except Sum-
days and holidays.
Work Of Community Center.
AS a result of concerted civic &C
tion Congress in 1915 authorized the
Board of Education to designate pub
lie school grounds and buildings for
certain recreational activities. The
Community Center Department con-
trolls these last-named facilities. in
cluded in which is instruction in dane
ing, handicraft, drama, music, in
formal study, games and athletics
Small fees are charged for some Of
these services.
In 1912 Congress created the De-
partment OF Fairgrounds, which con-
trolls all recreational activity under
the jurisdiction of the Commissioners.
Thirty four full-time municipal play
grounds are operated by this depart
ment. Ten school Fairgrounds are
also operated by this department after
closing school hours. All Fairgrounds
operated by the department are super
vised by trained supervisors or direc-
tors.
Three swimming pools and IL wad-
ing. pools are also operated but no
fees are charged whatever for any
of the activities under the Play
ground Department.

Carruthers First
President to Be
Reelected Twice

L. A. Carruthers is the first president
of the Forest Hills, citizens to be re-

The entire slate of officials were re-

ton.

The Federation Of Citizens Asso-
Citations and the Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs advocate ample appropria-
tions for recreational facilities for
children and young people, according
to Mrs. Horace J. Phelps.
Mrs. Phelps, who represents the
women's clubs at the citizens fed
Grafton, said the first authorization
for public recreation was in recogni-
tion of the needs of children, but our
changed method Of living has also
changed the living needs of young
people and must be given new and
immediate consideration.
Hundreds of young people in the
District have no home facilities for
recreation. she declared. and their
activities should be directed. The
results from the small boys and girls
clubs operated by the Community
Center warrant the extension Of this
service and larger appropriations to
establish this service in every neigh
borhood.
Toll Of the Streets.
Children must and will play and,
when forced to, will play in the
streets, with the result that in the
first II months of last year 1873 chill
dren were injured while playing in
the streets. There is no saner way
to protect the young peoples lives,
health and morals than by sufficient
supervised Fairgrounds, Mrs. Phelps
says.
Land is expensive in the closely
built-up sections of the city. but so
too are hospitals, juvenile courts and
reformatories. The 1898 budget
should provide for some of these
urgent needs, Mrs. Phelps declared
in a radio address over Station WMAL
Thursday.
Each week a representative OF Or
ganized citizenry speaks over .WMAL
in a federation-spon civic broad
cast. The series is directed by
Thomas Ellis Lodge, federation presi-
dent.
This weeks speaker will be A. F. E
Scheer, president, Joint Conference
Of Northeast Citizens Associations,
past president and federation dele
gate from the Dahlgren Terrace Citi-
zens' Association. Scheer will speak
on THE Traffic Situation in the Dis
trict Of Columbia" He plans to review
efforts in the past and suggestions
as to future regulation of traffic. In
cluded in these suggestions will be
eight points approved by the North
east Conference or by other Northeast
associations.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
WON BY ANAC0ST|A.
RandIe Highlands Second
and HiIIcrest Third in
Southeast Campaign.

With i24 new members, exactly
triple the number they had January
l, the Anacostia Citizens Association
has been declared the winner Of the
four month membership drive spon-
sored by the Southeast Council OF
Citizens Associations.
The Anacostia group was named the
winner despite the fact that Randle
Highlands. its closest competitor. OBJ
tained ITO new members, but at the
outset of the drive it had l2l mem
bers and the winner was determined
by percentage of increase. However
Randle Highlands can find solace in
the fact that they lead the 10 COM
peting organizations in total number
of members on roll, having a grand
total of 291.
Leadership Apparent.
From the outset it was apparent
that the race would be between Ana
costa and Randle Highlands, with
possibly Hillcrest or Congress Heights
as dark horses"
In obtaining victory and the prize,
a silver loving cup, the Anacostia or
ganization put on last-minute drive
that had the Membership Committee
working until nearly midnight on the
final day. Full cooperation by the
committee, composed of George F.
lizard, chairman: Mrs. Louisa Tew,
James Thompson, George A. Will
liams, William A. Plemmons and Mil
ton E. Diehl, president. was necessary
for the results that were obtained.
Running in third place was Hill
crest. Congress Heights took fourth,
closely followed by the Southeast
group. The former group obtained 80
new members, giving them a total of
2l2 on roll. The Congress Heights
Association had so new and a total
of I49 members. and Southeast 73 and
a grand total of 189.
The five remaining associations
Washington Highlands, North Randle
Community, East Washington Heights,
Lincoln Park and Summit Park-were
not conceded a chance at the start
and consequently wound up with a
very small increase.
Campaign Extended.
The campaign originally was sched-
uled for three months, but severe
weather in the form of snow, ice and
cold retarded the committees of each
association to such an extent that it
was necessary to include an extra
month in the drive. It was the pur-
pose Of the council to obtain q grand
total Of 1000 new members for the 10
competing associations. This figure
was not realized because of an ap-
parent lack of interest among q few
Of the smaller groups, the grand total
Of new members for the 10 associations
being slightly over 900.
Presentation of the silver loving cup
to the president of the Anacostia Asso-
citation will take place at the meeting
Of the Southeast Council May 10, to
be held In the Buchanan School, Thir-
teenth and D streets southeast.
william A. Maio, chairman Of the
council, has asked, besides the two
delegates from each association, the
president and chairman of the Men,
bership Committee of each group to
attend.

Objection TO Concessionaire
Operation of Local Swimming Pools.
opposition .has

CONSIDERABLE opposition has
developed in civic organizations
against the King Norton bill ito
provide for the operation OF bath
ing pools in the District under the
jurisdiction Of the Secretary OF
the Interior. and for other pur-
poses" The Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations at its last meet
ing, without a dissenting vote, OPP
posed this bill.
The Senate bill was passed by
the Senate, but Senator King has
announced his intention of moving
to reconsider and have the bill re-
called. The House bill has been
reported favorably by. the House
District Committee and is on the
House calendar. While 1t is un-
derstood the proposal is primarily
intended to grant authority to the
Secretary of the Interior to pro-
vide for the operation Of the pool
in East Potomac Park by the con-
cessionaire operator of the Munich
pal Golf Course in that park, it
grants authority for such operation
of all of the pools under the juris-
diction of the Secretary Of the In
terror In the District. Opponents
of the bill objected to its provision
chiefly because of a fear that this
might prevent the use of the pool
by children without charge.
At the meeting of the Citizens
Association of Takoma, D. c., last
week, specific objection was raised
to the possibility of turning over
to a concessionaire, for operation.
the pool in the Takoma- Manor
Park Recreation Center. 1t was
stated that this pool was operated
at profit, while the pool at the
Banneker Recreation Center was
operated at q loss. A number Of
other organizations have adopted
resolutions opposing this bill.

ent at hearings and, as matter OF
actual practice, there is seldom
need for jury trial.
The underlying intention OF this
proposed legislation is the protec-
ton of the child and to strip any
proceedings. as far as possible, Of
the usual criminal court atmos-
phere.
: Incident to this hearing, it is
the purpose of the special subcom-
mittee to investigate all institu-
tions to which children are COM
mitted by the Juvenile Court or the
Board of Public Welfare. 1t is
hoped that these hearings will be
concluded within a few days and
that the bill will be reported out
so that it may be put on the House
calendar in time for considera-
ton before adjournment of Con-
gress.

Juvenile Court Bills
Belated Consideration.

DClatCu SOuot0CA obhOhs
HEARINGS were begun Thurs
- day by a subcommittee of the
House District Committee Of the
pending Juvenile Court bill, which
had long languished in the Judici-
airy Subcommittee.
There is a general recognition
among civic workers. who are par
ticularly interested in child vel
fare, of a real need for modern
lied juvenile court system in the
District. Numerous objections were
raised against the bill as originally
introduced. Careful studies made
by former Corporation Counsel
Prettyman and others resulted In
numerous amendments, which have
been incorporated in new bill.
Some organizations and individuals
continue to raise objections to pro-
visions in the bill, but it is UNDER
stood that these are chiefly of a
technical legal nature. For in
stance, some are very insistent on q
specific provision for representa-
ton by counsel and for the right Of
trial by jury. As for the first. pro-
ponents claim there will be ample
opportunity for counsel to be pres
