People who live without clothing have to develop more heat than others, because they lose more heat from the surfaces of their bodies. Crarnming the stomach to produce an increased amount of heat IS, therefore, 6 serious error.
 Eskimos consume great quantities of fat, but they have different problem from that which concerns people who live in temperatures that seldom go below zero.
 And don't undereatl Starvation is bad for the human body When food is withheld, the whole chem- istry of our body changes.
 Int fat is drawn on to supply efl- ergy. heat is lost, temperature reg ulation is difficult, and after a sum- ciently long time, mental changes occur. sfa
 Food faddists. say that fasting clears the blood, but scientific studies show that there is 8 rise in the noii- protein nitrogen of the blood, & de- crease in chlorides, and an increase in bicarbonates during fasting.
 It is obvious, therefore, that neither oyereating nor near-starvak ton is advisable, and that the eat- ing of just the right quantity of food is most valuable for health.

MORE FAIRGROUNDS,
NORTH CAPITOL NEED
Secretary Crooks Also Believes
Association Should Have Spe-
cial Program Officer.

Development of Fairgrounds looms
as the first order of business for the
North Capitol Citizens Associations
coming year, according to James A.
Crooks, secretary-treasurer. who has
been reelected to the post for the
coming year.
w. P. A. workers were made avail
able last year to work on the Nc
MILAN Playground on Michigan ave-
nue., but they stopped work when the
field house. the fence and grading
were only half completed. The pro-
posed Edgewood Playground, at Lin
coin road and Franklin street, Is still
nothing but vacant lot which hasn t
been dedicated by its owners to the
District. Were going to fight to the
limit to get these two Fairgrounds this
year." Crooks declares.
Crooks reflects the views of the
other officers for the coming year: E.
3. Lawless, president; Mrs Ada Mills
Payne, first vice president; Guy w.
Numbers, second vice president. and
Charles j. MacMurray, financial Sec
retary. Crooks. a young attorney, now
holds two positions in the association,
having succeeded Selden M. Ely, a
former president, as delegate to the
federation, together with William r.
Sheehan.
4 need Is seen in the association for
. program officer who will have charge
Of getting speakers for meetings and
arranging attractions which will en-
courage attendance. Crooks says he
intends to suggest this move to Presi-

CONDUIT ROAD PLANS
YULE CELEBRATION
Live Fir Tree to Be Decorated
With Appropriate Ceremonies
on Christmas Eve.

AS in previous years, the Conduit
Road Citizens Association will sponsor
a celebration and tree-lighting Christ
mas eve. This year, however, the
celebration will take place on the
grounds of Palisades Park, the newly
completed recreation center, overlook
ing the Potomac River above George
town. In the past it has been held
in the center parkway Of Conduit
road.
A live fir tree will be planted in the
park grounds and will serve as
permanent Christmas tree. Previously
the association had to purchase a new
tree each year. secure permits from
the engineers office to have it placed
in the parkway and have electrical
outlets brought down to the tree.
Although as yet arrangements are
not fully completed. the association
plans to decorate the tree with bulbs
and electric lights and to invite the
Boy Scout troop and local civic leaders
to participate in the lighting cere-
mony Christmas eve. Last year candy
canes were distributed to children at
tending the ceremony, and this proved
so popular that it may be repeated
this year.

Alasl The magic powers of william

have met the supreme test. He has
had to produce a mustache in three
weeks.
Smith, who is an amateur magician.
was pledged to the Sigma Nu Phi Le-
gal Fraternity several weeks ago and
was ordered to grow mustache in
three weeks for initiation. With his
magic, aided greatly by ma ;ure, he
has been able to meet the require
ment.
During the past year Smith has
devoted much Of his time to magic
work. having appeared more than q
dozen times with the Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. Glee Club. He
also has appeared at charity benefits
in Alexandria, Va, and Annapolis,
Md, but he says his interest in max
ing cigarettes, cards and silk disap-
pear is solely as a hobby or pastime.
He is one of the youngest presidents
of citizens association and has acted
for three years in that capacity in
the Summit Park Citizens Associa-
ton. During his administration the
Summit Park Citizens Association
has not achieved civic improvements,
but has made itself known and rec
ognized as a progressive, civic-spirited
association.

Two Warnings Issued.

Joseph w. Marshall. director of the
Better Business Bureau, last week
issued two warnings to the public
against solicitations for funds which
he found to be fraudulent.
The first of these, confined to tele.
phone conversations. asked for IS pur.
chases of Helping Hand Seals" al.
legedly for the Toner School. a unit
in the public school system for colored
tubercular children.
The school has never and does not
now solicit funds from the public, be.
ing supported as all other public
schools are financed Marshall asked
that the public contact the bureau
before responding to the call. The in
dividual offering to collect the funds
has been barred from the United
States mails five times under fraud
orders.
The second warning from Marshall
was the result Of personal solicitations
for the athletic fund for the Catholic
University of America. The school
learned Of the fraud when a single
check was mailed in to the assistant
treasurer and he inquired of the rea-
son why the money had been mailed.
A group Of comparatively young men
are believed to have been making the
solicitations,

CAMPAIGN Renewed
TO OBTAIN SCHOOL
Bradbury Heights Children Must
Travel Miles, Citizens Say
After 7-Year Drive.

Citing the recent development OF
the Fort Dupont section as but .
further manifestation Of the need for
at least temporary grade school IN
Bradbury Heights. members Of the
Bradbury Heights Citizens Associa-
ton are doing all in their power to
effect the construction Of one-room
temporary school building.
The association has been working
for the last seven years in a vain at
tempt to bring about their aim, first
asking for a permanent school. and
lately seeking a temporary establish
ment with the view to future expan-
sion.
The situation at present, according
to o. E. Robbins Of the civic group. is
almost unbearable. The unnecessary
bother, expense and danger connected
with sending small children to school
several miles away Is proving one OF
the major family problems in that
community. he said. Most Of the
children are going to school in Brad
bury Heights, Md, or in Anacostia, 2
miles away.
w. d. Willis head Of the Schools
Committee has for the last three years
been in constant touch with school
authorities but has been unable to in
terest them in the construction Of the
simplest school building.
THE situation is acute" Robbins
concluded, "and Bradbury Heights,
because of its recent growth, merits q
grade school every bit as much as the
rest of the Southeast section. It's de-
STABILITY as a residential section will
be severely damaged If steps are not
taken. and taken Immediately. to pro-
vide the children with local educa-
tional facilities"

We Help Inaugurate, But
Do Not Help Elect a President.
"Red Rider" Impediment to
Needed School Legislation.


INAUGURATION plans, under
way, are another reminder Of
the peculiar position of the vote
less and unrepresented subjects"
of the great American Republic.
These people do have some SEM
blance Of having a hand in the Job
Of the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent. For many years the arrange
ments outside Of the strictly off,
cial part at the Capitol has been
regarded as strictly local job for
these subjects"
When the crowds come to Wash
ington for the Inauguration there
will be an opportunity afforded
the wide-awake civic leaders to
see that these visitors gain from
their visit a knowledge of the un-
American condition existing here
at their Capital CITY, They should
also learn that as. good orthodox
Americans we are dissatisfied with
our lots as such and have a def
mite plan to make us American citi-
Zens.
From past experience in such
educational work and from knowl-
edge gained through visits "out in
the United States" many Of our
people know that many of our Wis
itors will be surprised and shocked
to learn that such state of affairs
exists right here at the headquar-
ters Of the Government.
20 get the most out OF this op-
portunity for educational work,
with the sovereign Americans, civic
workers should be perpared with
the facts. There will be some gen.
eral attempt to spread such infor-
nation through the activity Of the
Citizens Joint Committee on Ma
tlonal Representation as has been
done at several inaue @rations. VOL
untary workers will ce required to
carry on this work and funds will
also be needed to pay for the print
ing of literature appropriate to the
occasion.
In addition many local people
will have as their guests folks from
back home" and these are the
very ones We need to reach, for the
members of our exclusive Legis-
lature" give real heed to them. To
do his or her part with these visit
ing friends each citizen must be
well informed. There is time now to
get this information and the Joint
Committee is ready and ANXIOUS
to supply it free Of charge. Such
civic ammunition may be had by
applying at Room 425. Evening
Star Building.
Here is an opportunity to help
solve the first and key problem of

ASK NIGHT SCHOOL
AT WESTERN HIGH
Civic Groups West of Con.
necticut Avenue to Push
Plan Before Congress.

A campaign for q night school at
Western High. begun two years ago,
will continue this year when delegates
from civic organizations west of Con-
necticut avenue present a request to
the Budget Bureau and congressional
subcommittee that a $4,000 item for
operating the school one year be In
cluded in the 1898 District budget.
Already the delegation, of which
Dorsey Hyde, delegate from the
Georgetown Citizens Association, Is
chairman, has appeared before the
Commissioners with their request. At
present about 40 organizations, in
cluding citizens associations, parent
teacher associations and other civic
groups, are backing the movement.
Drive Two Years Old.
The drive for night school at
Western started about two years ago
with q mass meeting at the Gordon
Junior High School. At that time
Edward J. Lockwood, director of night
schools. estimated that it would take
about $4,000 to operate such a school
for one year. The meeting had been
called by the Conduit Road Citizens
Association. whose Education Commit
tee had initiated the movement. Since
then the association has been enlist
ing the aid of other groups in the
campaign and every association con-
tacted, with the exception of the
Cathedral Heights Cleveland Park
Citizens Association, has come out
in favor of the school One group,
the Friendship Citizens Association,
requested that it be held at the Wood
row Wilson High School.
Need Is Cited.
A night school is needed in West
ern Washington, Mrs Joe Lyddane,
delegate from the Conduit Road Asso-
citation. claims. because the two
schools open at present. Central and
Mckinley. are SO far away that 1t
takes an hour or an hour and a half
to reach them. She says also that
these two schools are so overcrowded
that they cannot accommodate all
pupils wishing to attend.
Western has been selected as an
ideal place for night school because
it Is in the center of the area it would
serve and because it is already fully
equipped.
