SILVER SPRING, Md, April 16.
Steps to obtain construction of a
new road into the Parkside School,
located along Sligo Park near Sill
yer Spring, Md, will be taken by
the county board Of education, it
was learned today.
A letter pointing out the need
of a roadway leading directly 70

mating the necessity for small chill
dren climbing the steep steps from
the parkway to the school, was re-
ceived by DR.. Edwin w. Broone,
superintendent CT county schools.
yesterday from the East Sligo Val
ley Citizens Association.
Granville C. Stagg, chairman of
the public Improvement commit
tee, declared today that while the
Parkside School is a model instl-
tuition, studied by educators all
over the country, the steps leading
to the building are a hazard to
small children who attend the in
Stitution.
The Damascus, Md, Citizens AS
ISOLATION and parents of students
at the Damascus School requested
that the county school officials
take immediate steps to improve
the grounds surrounding the

Along with II employees Of
the Procurement Division, pretty
Martha H. Mallon and Edith M.
Emmans have been named on the
committee arranging all details
for the dance which the agency's
welfare association will sponsor
tomorrow evening at the Ken
nedy-WarIen.
In addition to aiding in arrang-
ing for the affair, the two popular
girls also will act as guest-hostesses
during the festivity. seeing that
everybody is acquainted with every.
one else, and between duties also
hope to get in few dances them
selves.
Other members of the group
who will assist in putting the
dance over" are Sylvia Gladstone,
Mrs. Loretta Osborne, Grace Hess,
Mrs. Eola Wright, Jean Lovelace,
Harold Stein, J. B. Armstrong,
Stuart Andrews, Allen Swayze,
Larry Dyer and Barbara Rogers.
An orchestra from New York
has been secured and officers of
the association, w. N. Rehlaender,
]. j. Schaefer, David Mckee and
Mrs. Osborne, expect the dance
to attract a large number of
Procurement workers and their
friends. It is an auuual affair.
Hostess MaIlon, a tall, blue-eyed
girl who resides at Plat o st. N. W.,
is a native Washingtonian who
graduated from Mckinley High
School before beginning a Govern
ment career with the Procurement
Division two years ago.
She is employed as a proofread-
er and verifier in the duplicating
section of the property and sup
ply division of her agency, and has
never worked elsewhere in the
Government. Dancing is her prin-
cipal recreation, but she also likes
poetry and dramaticS and would
have sought a career as a social
welfare worker but for entering
Federal service.

FASHION SHOW
DRAWS THR0NG

A smart crowd Of women
gathered at the Mayflower Hotel
Yesterday to see a fashion showing
which was part Of the spring salon
of Lincoln and Lincoln-Zephyr
automobiles. The fashion show
was at 4:30, and it is to be repeated
today. The mannequins were as
prominent socially as the audience,
and both seemed to enjoy the
occasion, entering into the spirit
of the spring fashions with
enthusiasm.
Black with white or color, and
navy with white were the high
lights of the showing, and many Of
the smartest costumes were In
these combinations. They were for
both daytime and evening, and a
popular sports costume was Of
navy and white printed cotton with
tailored white jacket. A white
knitted skull cap from Schiaparelli
topped this costume.
The hats were particularly no
table, many times seeming smarter
than the costumes with which they
were shown. The coiffureS were
extremely good, too, with the
rolled-under effects particularly
well liked by the audience. There
were several page-boy coiffures,
and others Of the same general
type with the hair rolled under
instead of up, in the back.
Among those costumes that were
especially applauded was slick
white dinner suit Of heavy crepe,
with a bodice Of gaily printed
Persian crepe. It was longer
than ankle length.
A short evening gown, half way
between the ankle and the calf,
was shown, and it attracted much

interest ana comment. It had full
baller1na skirt, and was Of bright
red organza. 1t was the dfrndl
type, with a huge corsage Of vari.
colored flowers on the bodice. An
other gown that was applauded
with enthusiasm was an icy white
satin coronation gown, shown with
a bouquet Of three gigantic gar
denias, which were carried by the
manneuUin.

For a number of years Federal
employees have satisfied their urge
to see the world with summer eX-
cursions to New York, Philadelphia,
Atlantic City and other points no
great distance from their base OF
operations. Few strayed farther, at
least on an organized basis.
Now, however, some OF The more
intrepid of Uncle Sans clerical
help plan to invade Europe for
glimpse of the famed scenery OF the
Old World, crossing the ocean
twice and visiting half dozen OF
the more picturesque countries IN
less than a month.
Almost a score of AgricultureS
workers have evinced interest IN
the venture, which will require the
comparatively small outlay OF 1855
to cover all expenses and is short
enough to refrain from placing too
great a strain on annual leave &C.
cumulations.
Sponsored by the Agriculture
Recreational Association, t h e
planned tour will visit in sequence
France, Switzerland, Austria, Ger.
many, the Netherlands and Eng
land. According to schedule, the
party is to sail July IA from New
York aboard the liner Aquitania,
returning August 9 on the giant
Queen Mary.
The bigger and faster boats have
been chosen to facilitate speed,
and cram in as much scenery lover
there" as possible in short space
of time.
For those who can afford the
jaunt, it looms as an experience
as well as pleaSurable vacation,

to hear from other agencies who
may wish to sign up. Anyone in

 In Case Court
 Plan Is Beaten

Washington, June BOA nice, soft cushion is being prepared for MT. Roosevelt by some of the milder opponents of the court plan and some of its milder friends.
 It's for use when and if F. D. R. decides to abandon attempts to get a court-packing bill through con- gress, the idea being to soften the blow for all concerned.
 But the cushion-and~ you can chalk this up for future reference wasn't stuffed by the White House.
 This group of court reform Op- ponents who would just as soon have the court plan dropped, is spreading the word around that Roosevelt never expected or in- tended to have his court bill passed, but was only trying to scare the conservatives justices so they wouldn't dare kill any more New Deal legislation. The yarn is either told or hinted with a merry ha Ina ha and an admis- sion that the alleged trick worked perfectly, considering the way the court subsequently, Okayed New Deal laws as fast as they came up.
 No matter how much credence this story may receive, it just isn't true. Roosevelt supposed the court bill would pass long ago, virtually as written. He did be- lieve that as soon as it passed at least three justices, and possibly five, would resign and that he probably wouldn't be called upon to appoint six and make a 15- man court.
