STANDS OFFER
WORK TO 1000

The efforts of approximately
1000 washington laborers-car-
penters. painters, electricians,
decorators and teamsteFs-will go
into the stands from which thou
sands will watch inaugural cere-
monies January 20.
This was the estimate today OF
District and labor union officials
who drew plans for the stands
that will bank Pennsylvania Ave
nue. from the Capitol to the White
House.
Carpenters make up the bulk OF
the present workmen, but they
will soon make way for painters,
electricians and decorators. The
teamsters had their inning first,
hauling the necessary lumber and
equipment to the parade route
scene.
All of the labor on the gigantic
task has been provided through
agencies of the Washington Cen
trail Labor Union and the Wash
ington Building Trades Council.

Rug Warning Issued.

Another selling racket hit Wash
ington last week. This time its Orien-
tai rugs, according to Mrs. Sally P.
Muchmore of the Better Business
Bureau, who has received half dozen
complaints about the latest house to-
house canvaSser within the last few
days. The salesman's method is this:
First he offers TO take the house,
wife's order for sheets and pillow
cases of well-knoWn make at ridicu-
lousy low prices, Mrs. Muchmore said.
The prospective buyer is not required
to put up any money, the salesman
telling her she can pay for the mer-
chandise when it arrives That much
done, the salesman brings out what
he describes as a genuine Oriental rug,
which he is willing to sell at an ex-
tremely low price.

MILITIA TO RIDE
TRAINS TO CAMP
Auto Truck Movements to Train.
ing Areas to Be Aban-
doned.

Troops Of the District Guard, along
with those in other parts Of the coun-
try, will be transported to their train
ing camp sites next Summer by trains.
The War Department Is conducting
negotiations with railroads through
out the country for the purpose Of
entering into blanket contracts for
the movement Of the troops.
Economy as well as the lack Of suf-
hcient automotive equipment, 1t was
explained, is responsible for the move.
In the motor movements during the
last two years 1t has been necessary
for organizations going to camp to
borrow trucks and other automotive
equipment from the Regular estab-
lishment and from adjacent Guard
units. This was held to be very ex-
pensive because the drivers had to be
paid for much longer periods than
the ordinary two weeks training time.
First the trucks had to move the
heavy field equipment to the camp
sites and then return to the home
stations for the troops. Upon COM
pletion Of the camps they had to
return the troops first and then return
TO bring back the field equipment for
storage.
For the movement Of troops from
this area last year to the maneuvers
in Pennsylvania it was necessary to
borrow trucks from the 18th National
Guard Division
The contracts, it was indicated,
will be made general, in that they
will call for the transportation of a
certain percentage Of the troops in
each area to their respective camp
sites. OF course, some of the troops
will go by truck, as a number will
be needed to transport the equipment
in the advance of the train move
emnt.
In the matter Of transportation OF
the 260th Coast Artillery, 1t has not
been decided whether they will 60 to
Fort Monroe, Va, or go on 1000
mile road march to Fort Niagara,
N. Y, as has been proposed by Lieut.
Col. Walter w. Burns, commanding
the unit. The War Department has
expressed its opinion that 1t would
be better for the unit to take a train
ing camp this year.

.CENTERPARKWAY
ASKEDBY CITIZENS
Southeast Business Men
Seek Aid of Both Collins
and Allen.

Aid Of both Chairman Collins Of
the House Subcommittee on District
Appropriations and Commissioner Al
len is to be sought by the Southeast
Business Mems Association in an ef-
fort to get the center parkway on
Pennsylvania avenue southeast be-
TWEEN Second and Eighth streets either
bricked or concreted over, thereby
eliminating dust and mud from en-
tering the homes and business estab-
lshments located in these blocks.
The business organization contends
there Is a particular nuisance during
the dry season. The same argument
Is offered whenever it rains, but even
more so as the parkway becomes q
mud hole and as there are no con-
crete crossings, the mud h tracked
into home and stores alike.
Efforts have been made from time to
time to plant grass or shrubbery bor-
dering the street car tracks, but to
no avail. At present the ground is
being reSurfaced, but in the opinion OF
the business men this is waste of
time and money as past experiences
have born this out. Covering Of the
parkway by either brick or concrete
has the approval Of the office of Ma
tional Capital Parks, but the associa-
ton was informed there were no funds
available. As result they have turned
to the District and Congress.
In q communication sent to Rep
resentative Collins, the association Is
requesting an appropriation in the
1888 District supply bill for the surf
acing of the area. The letter states
further that the association would sp-
preciate an opportunity to have .
representative appear before Collins
committee in support Of the request.
A similar plea is to be made to Com
missioner Allen, with the exception
that the funds In this instance be pro-
vided by a w. P. A. appropriation.
In any event the organization feels
that either through the District Com
missioner or the generosity of Repre-
sentative Collins committee, funds
will be provided to remedy this de-
plorable condition which exists with
in the very sight of the Capitol.

CITIZENS TO CONSIDER
BUS RER0UTING PLAN
Special Meeting Of American Uni
versity Park Group Called
for Wednesday.

Proposed changes In the American
University Park bus service have re-
suited in q special meeting called by
L. T. Savage, president.
The meeting will be held in Hurst
Hall, American, University, ct Q pm.
Wednesday, Savage declared.
A letter from the Public Utilities
Commission has been received inform
ing the members that an application
has been made for the following bus
route to take place Of the existing
route:
Buses to continue west on Massa-
chusetts avenue to Westmoreland
Circle; thence northeast on Western
avenue to Butterworth place; from
here east to Forty-ninth street and
thence over its present route. The
same route has been suggested for the
return trip.
Efforts by residents of Westmore-
land Hills last April to have the bus
service continue out past American
University Park resulted in . special
mass meeting last year, called by the
American University Park Citisens'
Association to defeat the move. Il
thought this had been settled for once
and ALL" Savage declared.

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
II disappearing House District Day-Chizen
Study of D. c. Government Meets With Ap-
broydl-'tRed RIDER Fate Still Uncertain.
BY JESSE C. SUTER.

~ ISAPPOINTMENT marked
the beginning Of the past
week. District day In the
- House, scheduled for
Tuesday, was lost through ad-
journment because Of the death Of
Representative Buchanan, chair
man Of the Appropriations Com
mittee. Monday had been the
regular day but. 1t being Wash
ington's birthday, Tuesday was
substituted. 1t is by no means
unusual for the District to lose its
day through the death Of mem
ber, or for any other reason.
The next District day IN the
House is scheduled for tomorrow,
when it Is hoped that the pending
Juvenile Court bill and several
other measures will be considered
and acted upon. Because Of losing
the day on Tuesday there was no
meeting of the House District
Committee during the past week.
There Is now on the House CAL
endar more District business than
can be disposed Of in one day.
The civic highlight Of the week
Is the announcement by the Com
missioners of an intention to ap-
point a committee Of citizens to
make a survey of the District
government, with a view to dis
covering inefficiency, overlapping
of functions, or any defects which
may have developed in the grad
ual expansion during long period.
This idea has met with popular
approval.
The fate Of the red rider remains
to be determined. The Kennedy
bill for repeal, as amended by the
Senate, is now In conference. The
conferees on the part Of the House
are Representatives Norton. Ken
nedy and Short; and on the part
OF the Senate, Senators Black,
Copeland, Walsh, Borah and La
Toilette. AS this Is written there
has been no meeting Of the con-
ferees.
The Federation of Citizens As
sociations, at its meeting one week
ago last night, was unable to take
decisive action regarding the red
rider because of a peculiar parlia-
mentary situation and persistent
filibuster by a minority. 1t was
clearly apparent during the tangled
proceedings that substantial ma
jority of the delegates present was
not in accord with the federation's
former stand and the activities of
its special committee.

Plans for dedicating the projected
new firehouse at Fourteenth street
and Rhode Island avenue northeast

At a special meeting of the Joint
conference of Northeast Citizens As
sociations last week committees were
organized to plan the celebration
which will consist of speeches, dancing
and other entertainment The event
will occur early in April, M. M.
Mclean Of the Brookland Citizens
Association announced yesterday.
At the meeting Wednesday evening
A. r. E. Scheer, chairman Of the con-
ference, was elected head Of the Ar
rangements Committee. Scheer is Q
member and past president Of the
Dahlgren Terrace Association. Mrs.
Cleo Marfeldt, president Of the Brook
land-Woodridge Business Mems Asso-
citation, was elected vice chairman Of
the group.
This committee has been subdivided
into the following committees and
their indicated chairmen: Arrange
ments. William j. Weber Of Dahlgren
Terrace Association; Program, M. M.
Mclean; Publicity, David Babp Of the
Burroughs group; Decorations and
Band, Joseph A. Mayhem Of Rhode
Island avenue body; Finance. e. W..
Turner Of Brookland; Refreshments.
j. D. De Marco of Michigan Park, and

The group decided last week to A.
nance the program by public subscrip-
tions from residents Of the areas
served by the IRE house and by ad-
vertisements In the ofIaeial program
for the celebration.

PARKING RESTRICTED

business men on Eighth street
southeast from Pennsylvania avenue
to- the Navy Yard, who have sought
parking limitations in these blocks for
some time, were informed through the
Office of Traffic Director Van Duzer
that hereafter one-hour parking from
8ga.m. to 6 pm. on week days would
be in effect.
The change was brought about as
the result of complaints to the South
east Business Mems Association, who
through its secretary, Louis F. Frick,
communicated with Van Duzer's ONCE
requesting the one-hour parking.

ton, Charles j. MacMurray, financial

step in the right direction, he said.
The new additions are J. c. Jones,
