Planning For
Christmas

Christmas is certainly on the
way.
First indication of the annual
appearance of st. Nick was given
today when officials of the local
Post Office conferred with a COM
mittee of the Merchants and Man
ufacturers Association to formu-
late plans for the early shopping
and mailing of Christmas gifts.
John j. Hasley, chairman of the
committee, stated the campaign
will start November 20, the day
after Thanksgiving. However, toy
departments in the department
stores will open November 16.

public of the deadline dates for
mailing of packages to various
points in this and other counties
in order that they may be received

D. E. SCHOOLS
ADMIT DOZEN
OUTSIDERS

Some indication of the determi-
nation of parents living in nearby
Maryland and Virginia to take ad,
vantage Of the corporation coun,
sells ruling permitting children to
enroll in the District schools,
pending the outcome of the Lois
Kemp case now before the Court
of Appeals, was given today when
a dozen children, already attend
ing outside schools, applied for
admission here.
At the Franklin Administration
Building, mothers, followed by
their youngsters, either signed the
conditions imposed by Elwood
Seal and approved by the Board
Of Education or took the applica.
tions home for their husbands
signatures. Applications must be
signed by the wage-eafning mem
ber of the family. They read:
"That stipulation be entered
into between the Board of Edu-
cation on the one hand and the
father and guardian of the child
wherein it is agreed that the
said child be admitted to the

ary 81, 1887, when the right Of
the said pupil to enrolment ter

SideratiOn of the question may
be had on February l, 1887, if
need be-"
The parent also signs a clause
certifying that he is either en-
ployed in the Federal Government
or in the District of Columbia and
gives his position and office ad-
dress.
While school officials showed no
alarm over the number of applica-
tions. they admit they are frankly
concerned over the February en-
rollment. They are pinning their
hopes on completion of school
buildings under construction and
appropriations for more new build
ings by the next Congress.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Nov. g. With all political
issues out of the way, residents Of
Arlington county today renewed
efforts to make a thorough study
of the proposal that Arlington
county be incorporated into a city.
A special committee appointed
several weeks ago to investigate
the proposal for the Arlington
County Civic Federation, is ready
to recommend that the proposal
be dropped. Members of the
executive committee, however, an
nounced today that they would
seek continuance of the study.
With a meeting tonight, which
was postponed last Tuesday, mem
bers Of the executive committee
said the question was Of too much
magnitude to be passed over with
out a more thorough study.
The meeting tonight will be held
in the community house at Lyon
Park at 8 o'clock.
Members Of the special lncor-
poration committee, appointed by
the federation to make a study
of the issue, voted unanimously
at a meeting recently to oppose
the move. DR.. Victor Meyers,
chairman of the committee, who
announced the committees find
ings, said that the chief reason
that his committee had rejected
the proposal was the loss of ap-
proximately $4,000 annually
That amount is now received by

CORONER MUST
RULE0N PLEA
FOR RECORDS

Corporation Counsel Elwood H.
Seal, in a legal opinion today,
passed the buck" to Coroner A..
Magruder Macdonald from the
District Commissioners in re-
quest by the American Civil Lib
critics Union for Coroner'S records
in cases of 20 persons killed dur
ing the last three years by police
men, watchmen and special Off
GERS.
In letter to the city heads last
month, Gardner Jackson, local
representative of the union, said
his legal committee had requested
the records of the Coroner but
was told letter of authorization
was necessary. The letter stated
"our understanding had been
these records were available to
any citizen who wished to exam
inc them" and concluded with
the statement the records we're
desired for an analysis being pre-
pared by the union.
Referred 10 Seal
Specifically the union requested
authorization to examine the rec
ordS in cases of the 20 persons
killed between March 7, 1888, and
May IT, 1885. After refusal by
the coroner's office, Jackson's re-
quest was referred to Seal.
At tn eoutSet Of his opinion,
Seal cited an order o February
25, 1885, in which the CommiS-
Sioners forbade any official or
employe in the District service
from giving any information
which may be made the basis
Of a claim against the Govern
ment of the District of Columbia"
and provided where doubt eX-
listed the Corporation Counsel
should render a written opinion.
Seals opinion then dwelt on the
makeup of a public record and
who is entitle to examine such
records. He cited court opinions
to the effect that public records,
including legislative, executive
dI1u JuO1Cld1 4CCO1u 10 d1O OPC1 w
any person provided he has an
interest therein" Court opinions,
he said, held "a mere fishing in
quiry will not be directed by the
court"
JacksOn'S Interest
Seal then stated:
ut Immediately occurs, there
fore, what interest has Mr.. Jack
son in these records? Is he
merely on a fishing inquiry to
learn what the records contain,
because, as heretofore stated in
the Bakersmith case, while such
records are public and should be
open to the inspection of every.
one who has an interest in them,
it is not the right of anyone and
everyone to have them sur
rendered to him whenever de-
manded."

Prominent among clerical per
sonnel of the Resettlement Admin
istration are two talented young
people whose abilities would seem
to be direct opposites, according
to the usual standards by which
talents are judged.
Mrs. Isabelle North Miller and
Needham Afford, employed in the
mail and files section of the RA
land utilization division, both
have outstanding interests, but
Mrs. Miller's lies in the field of
business and advertising while Mr..
Affords outstanding talent is cen
tered in music.
Mrs. Miller is from Winchester,
Va, where she studied at John
Handley High School, and came
to Washington five years ago to
accept an appointment with the
Federal Housing Administration.
About 16 months ago, however,
she shifted to Resettlement and
has been with that office ever
since.
Business Career
Prior to her Government Serv-
ice she had enjoyed a varied
career in the business world. She
spent two years with the adver-
tising department of the Warner
Brothers film firm, and before
that had served several years in
a similar capacity for the Win
chester Star in her home city.
She has also been prominent
in organization activity, being a
member of Young Democratic
groups in both Virginia and
Washington. A recent student
at Temple Business School here,
she is now an assistant chief of
her section and says dancing,
walking and tennis are her
principle recreations.

COMMITTEE

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Nov. 9.
Convinced of a need for greater
stimulation of religion in the col
leges of the country, DR.. H. C.
Byrd, president Of the University
of Maryland, has named a COM
mittee of faculty members to con-
slider means of strengthening stu
dent interest.
Following an extensive study OF
the religious conditions at Mary
land, DR.. Byrd stated:
"Religion should be an inte-
grail part of every students life,
not separate from it. I should
like to have carried out at Mary.
land a welI-Organized program
for the building up of the moral
and religious life of the cam
pus."
DR.. T. B. Nanny, of the division
of humanities, was named head Of
the committee and will be assisted
by DR.. Charles White, chairman
of the freshman-sophomore group;
Geary Eppley, director of athlet-
les; DR.. Frieda Mcfarland, home
economics college; Professor w. B.
Kemp and DR.. George D. Quigley.
In speaking of the work to be
done by the new committee, DR..
Nanny declared:
although we are not yet in a
position to make any definite
recommendations, we feel that the
time is ripe to inaugurate courses
in religion" We intend to 1nSti-
tute such courses as Comparative
Religion" under the philosophy
department, and "The History or
Evolution of Religion" under the
history department.
DR.. Nanny pointed out that
since Maryland is a State univer-
sity, great care must be exercised
in the selection of courses to pre-.
clude the possibility of biased pres
entation. The department of Eng
lish has been offering a course in
1.-The Old Testament as Litera-
ture'' for a number of years, and
it is one of the most popular
courses on the campus.

GOLD SHIPPED

PHILADELPHIA GN.S0.-Try

would tower into a shining spire

metal forming a block of 1890
cubic feet and weighing nearly
1000 tons. a highway half as

Granite, steel and concrete
make the Fort Knox depository
probably the most impregnable
spot in the world. Machine gun

elaborate arrangement of mirrors
and the latest scientific detection
devices have been provided to
warn guards against intrusion.
The gold is virtually all in bars
about the size of the average

400 ounces and is worth $4,000.
The huge gold holdings now on

by the recurrent waves of imports

highways and it would be last if
the county incorporated, he said.
Another reason for vetoing the
proposal was that the county
would not gain the administra-
tive powers that advocates of the
city plan of government contem-
plated.
Pointing to the fact that the
next session of the State General
Assembly was not until in jan
uary of 1898, members of the ex-
ecutive committee said there was
still plenty of time to give the
proposal q more thorough study.
Other county organizations
studying the proposal have al
ready indicated that their respec-
tive committees would require
three or four months to make an
intelligent investigation. They in
clude the Clarendon Citizens AS

Clergy Unanimous
Support Of the city's clergymen
came at yesterdays services in
virtually all churches. A letter
addressed to the clergy and laity
of the Baltimore archdiocese writ

Curley of Baltimore was read at
all masses in the Cat h Ollie

conditions have improved, thou
sands of families are suffering
and in need. On all of us lies
the serious obligation of COM
ing to their assistance.
"ThoSe who are enjoying re-
newed earthly blessings have a
particular duty to manifest their
gratitude in a very practical
way. The fact that the task Of
relieving the needy no longer
seems so hopeless should spur
us all to make earnest effort

you all to be as generous as
possible in the Community

Pastors in the Protestant
churches devoted their sermons

, "The proposition that we are
our brothers keeper is not likely
to be denied. But held and an
announced simply as a creed, it
will not bring bread and shelter,

oChanqe Rules

NEW YORK, Dec. ia meet
ing of the board of stewards of
the National Steeplechase and
Hunt Association will be called
January 7th to consider several
changes in the RULES of Racing"
for the coming year.
The first amendment to be taken
up will be that of present amateur
riders holding trainers licenses.
The rule as it now stands permits
an amateur rider to hold a train
er's license without affecting his
standing as such, on a special
application to the National Stee-
plechaSe and Hunt Association.
The amendment to be proposed
will be as follows:
"On special application, a H.
cenSe to train only horses owned
by or leased by him may be
granted to an amateur rider
holding a certificate from the
National SteeplechaSe and Hunt
Association without affecting
his standing as such. Amateur
riders holding license to train
prior to January l, 1887, may
still be granted that privilege,
namely, an unrestricted train
er'S license"
Another amendment to be taken
up will be to increase the price
of holding race meetings under
the Hunts ruling from $40 per day
to $25 per day.
