port to the program of the Ma

therefore, offer our support, fin
ancial and otherwise, to the MA.
A.C.P., in its effort to remedy ex-
isting evils that operate to the
detriment of our social and econ
omic development, and urge all
citizens who are not members of

solicit the membership Of their
neighbors and friends" Those
present were: Clarence R. Ander-
son, William Jf1yatt, Rev. Frank

where its secretaries in various ci-

Adelphi Apartments
Make Housing Record

Familiarity known by Capitol
Hill residents and pointed out with
pardonable pride to visitors, the
Adelphi Apartments, 2SO-32 23rd
Avenue North, are setting new
record in local apartment housing
circles, it was revealed by owners
of the establishment this week.
Not only are al available apart
ments taken but a waiting list
of considerable length makes 1t
necessary for the management to
turn away many desirable tenants,
according to ]. A. Jack" john
son, manager of the apartments.
The homelike atmosphere at
the Adelphi plus very reasonable
rates and ideal location serve to
make highly desirable combina-
ton for Seattle families" said Mr..
Johnson. The owners of the A.
delphi apartments are greatly
pleased with this unique housing
record made within the last year
and they are of the frank opinion
that if other apartment houses
had gained in patronage and po-
pularity as the Adelphi, apartment
house owners would have no more
to fear from lack of tenants to
fill empty rooms" he continued.
Mr.. Johnson is also director of
the East Madison Street Branch
of the Y. M. c. A. at 23rd and
East Olive.
