Five Additional Projects
Would Serve Needs,
Citizens Say.

Requests for five playground prof.
ects were addressed to the District
Commissioners and c. Marshall Fin
nan, superintendent of National Capt.
tai Parks, at a meeting of the George
town Citizens Association last night
ut st. Johns Church.
DR.. B. H. Meyer, chairman Of the
Parks and Reservations Committee,
submitted two letters ne had written
and sought the memberships indorse-
ment.
In the letter to the Commissioners
It was pointed out that a survey Of
playground facilities in Georgetown
showed the available play areas were
not kept in operation a sufficient
length of time to serve the COM
munity's needs.
Projects Outlined.
Finnan was asked to approve the fol-
lowing projects: Acquisition of area
south of p street and west of Rock
Greek for Playground; conversion
of parkway south of P street bridge
into tennis and other athletic courts;
conversion of site of street car barns
north of P street and east of the
bridge into Playground; construc-
tion Of two tennis courts and one
basket ball court on property adjacent
to Bell Court, off Volta place: play
ground on land north of S street at
Wisconsin avenue
DR.. Meyer pointed out that the car
barn project is the only one of the
five which would require a large sum
of money and the association in
dorsed his resolution that the letter
be sent.
The display of tattered Ameri-
can flag by public school on N
street was strongly criticized by Rear
Admiral Spencer S. Wood in a letter
to the association.
A new flag should be secured and
officials OF the school should be repri-
manded for permitting the flag to be
flown night and day.
A resolution of protest was sent to
the Board of Education.
Sisson Bill Supported.
Support of the Sisson bill to repeal
the red rider to District appropriation
bills, was voiced in another resolution
approved last night.
Miss Hester Crutcher, director of
delinquency, Children's Bureau, spoke
on child delinquency. Randolph Bishop
of the National Library for the Blind,
explained the activities of the library
and made plea for public assistance
An illustrated lecture on activities of
the Metropolitan Police Boys Club
was given by C. C. Richardson.

which the bow would shoot arrows
through hides-elephants, Christians,
armored ships or most anything.
A rather small young lady, greatly
impressed, asked permission to test
the bow. She pulled the string and
pop" it went, with the sound Of fine
old seaweed palm wood going to pieces.
Mr.. Karig has extensively revised his
opinions concerning wild tribesmsen

CONFESSION.
A THOUGH road officials seldom
admit that highways are in bad
condition. the past Winter has been
so severe that the Maryland State
Roads Commission, like similar bodies
repair the damage.
Realizing it will be months before
the road forces can reach many routes,
the commission has erected signs pro-
claiming to the world, Rough Road"
And If you happen to be one Of
those who do not believe in signs, try
to drive over a road SO designated at
the legal speed OF As miles an hour.

The big change is in his garb. The

NEW YORK, February 29.-Qutt
but persistent selling in railway issues
today tended to dim bullish stock mar
ket hopes.
| The carriers sagged fractions to
point or more and recent industrial
favorites were backward. The sugars
and a few specialties bucked the trend.
The close was heavy Transfers ap-
proximated only $50 1000 shares.
Brokerage houses were encouraged
by the fact that the volume dwindled
on the decline.
Some of the sugar equities continued
to hold their followings as futures o.
this commodity again moved into new
high territory for the season.
Outside Of the carriers. there we're
scattered weak spots. including Grey
hound Corp, which was of points
at one time The steels, motors and
utilities registered fractional changes
in either direction.
Grains and cotton were up and
down in restricted range. japanese
bonds rallied, but the yen was still
a bit soft in foreign exchange dealings.
Shares up fractionally to around
point included Great Western Sugar,
Cuban-American Sugar. Case. Douglas
Aircraft, Schenley. International Har-
vester and Chrysler.
Santa Fe. Delaware g. Hudson and

included New York Central Southern

Overnight consideration of the IN

tion in cutting rail passenger fares
brought further selling in the car

mourn the death early today of VIII
liam J. Flather, for almost go years
connected with the Riggs National
Bank. His death was caused by
double pneumonia from which he had
been suffering for several days in
Emergency Hospital.
For many years he was one of the
most active bankers connected with
Riggs and was very closely associated
with Charles C. Glover, ST., whose
death occurred during the present
week. They both became directors in
the bank at the time national bank
charter was obtained in 1896.
Mr.. Flather had a wide circle of
friends, was always considered an un-
usually able banker and will be missed
by all who knew him. He leaves sew
eral relatives who are active in banks
and brokerage houses In the financial

New Colonizing System

Ethiopia will do Italy little or no good even if conquered, declares Dr. Parker T. Moon, professor of international relations in Columbia University. "The Italians are too smart to colonize in the Wilds ot Ethiopia when they can come here and be mayor of New York and build them- selves palaces on the Hudson. In ten years, prophecy, there will not be. as many colonists in Ethiopia as soldiers who have given their lives to it." Under ordinary conditions that would probably be true, as past history of migration shows. But Dr. Moon appears to over- look two new factors in the situation, both potent
 The first is that, under present Amer ican immigration laws, it is harder for foreigners to get into this country than it ever was before, and these restrictions are more likely to be frightened than relaxed: The second is that Italy is now governed by the most absolute boss it has had since the ancient Roman emperors Mussolini is master of the Italian people. When he tells Italians to go and fight in Ethiopia, they go and fight. And when he tells them to colonize Ethiopia, they will prob ably go and do it.

Tree Days

April and May are the months in which most of the states observe their Arbor Days The celebrations this spring should have more significance than in many recent years. Floods in the eastern part of the country and dust storms in the south and west remind us forcibly that tree-planting is more than a pleas ant hobby. Trees are needed to prevent soil erosion and reduce floods. The gov ernment is doing much to further tree planting The federal soil conservation service has A strategically located nur- series from which ,000 trees were sent out last year. The distribution and planting of trees may be doubled in 1886.
 There are so many reasons for planting trees that the job should be undertaken by states and cities and private property owners as well as the federal govern ment. Trees should be planted for beauty and shade. They should be planted for the profitable crops they produce - fruits, nuts, lumber.
 Arbor Day should have a dual purpose the planting of trees and the education of children in the value of trees Singly, in groves and in forests The progress so far made in awakening America in this respect should be followed up with energy and intelligence.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-03-27

The first ladies of our American stage remain, as they have for some ten years now, Helen Hayes, Pauline Lord, and Katharine Cornell. This may be bit of a come-uppance to some of those "im- mortals" of the screen, but it only goes to prove that even if you do show to good advantage and your voice is not too dis cordant in films, it doesn't necessarily qualify you for high ranking in the world of the theater. Sidney Howard, presi- dent of the Dramatists' Guild of America, announced the Heading ladies" and at the same time pointed out that Holly woods easy life and high salaries prevent younger stage stars being developed. He said at the same time that the movies offer little opportunity for professional stage development. Are you listening, girls?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-03-27
United They Resist

Our own director of the State Water Commission, General Sanford H. Wad- hams, has pointed out that any efforts Connecticut may make on her own initiative to stem future Connecticut River floods will be unavailing, unless similar efforts are put forth by other states through which the river passes In short if Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts do not cooperate it is useless for Connecticut to go it alone And that should give impetus to the pres ent congressional scheme of flood control in the entire river valley.
 Only some such means as this is going to prevent repetition of what has oc- cured all up and down this wide river valley from the Canadian border to Long Island Sound. It may be pointed out that this recent flood saw new high rec ords set by the Connecticut river. In 300 years of records nothing like 38 foot flood stage had been reached. Per haps it never will again. Who knows but what it might be reached again this year or in 1887. You can't just say it won't and sit back and let it go at that.
 We simply have to get out now and do what has long been recommended We must have flood control in the Connecti- cut River valley. And when we get that we must accompany it with same means for pollution elimination. And we must move to prevent soil erosion, such as goes with rivers on wild rampages. That de-

Keep It Up

The bitterest foe of the Repub- lican, if such a despicable crea- ture there be, could not possibly be cruel enough to dash the cold water of Encouragement on such a praiseworthy purpose. There are many newspapers which are modest enough to limit their aims in life to getting out sheet print ed in the English language. The Republican is the only one I Lave ever heard of which is trying to be an English speaking medium. Having nothing but the kindliest feelings towards The Rowling Twin would like to say I want to see it keep right on trying. It will be 8 great trick if 1t can be done. To that end I would also like to add 8 suggestion. The business office should purchase 8 diction- ary for the use of the editorial de- partment. That would make 1t impossible for the bulls like the priceless one which appeared on its front page, issue of March 5th., to render futile all its attempts to be an English speaking news paper:-
