attractive family come to Virginia
each year for a part OF the season.
A number of relatives and friends OF
the Whitins will go to Massachusetts
to attend the wedding next month.
Miss Cora Within is an excellent
horsewoman and rides whenever she
is here, and she is always an in
terested spectator at horse shows and
race meetings near Washington.
Out at Laurel yesterday there was a
good-sized gathering of people from
Virginia. DR.. J. P. Jones of Char
lottesville, was winner in the fourth
race with his entry Crepe and Could
Be. The former won the race easily,
to the delight Of the Virginians there
who went home feeling happy after
betting on DOC" Jones entry. Mrs.
Randolph Scott was seen at Laurel
yesterday, looking at some good horses
with Jack Skinner. 1t was the first
time Mrs. Scott had been seen at a
sporting event (where she is a we'll
known figure) since her illness a lew
weeks ago. Her many friends were
delighted to see her out again.
Among other visitors seen at Laurel
Yesterday were Mr.. and Mrs. Dion
Kerr, Mr.. John Manfuso, the owner
of Aneroid Hal Parr, Harry Parr, Jr.;
Maurice Pilson, Mrs. Howard JamiSon.
William H. Lipscomb and Samuel
Spruce of Washington; Granger
Gather, Sid Holloway and Bob White.
Many of those seen were planning TO
come to Virginia today for the sale
of horses to be held at William du
Points Foxcatcher Farm near Boyce,
beginning at pm. A number of
high-class thoroughbred horses and
colts will be sold at auction to the
highest bidder, and large crowd is
expected.
1t was at Mr.. Du Points sale three
years ago that the now famous An
eroid. a Porter colt from the stable of
Jock Whitney, was sold for $500 to
Dion Kerr. who bought the colt for
John Manfuso. The story of the
cheap thoroughbred who has turned
out to be a wonder horse under Dion
Kerrs training and leading winner,
has been told and written about many
times. There will be people at the
sale today hoping to pick up such
another bargain. Aneroid who was
second to War Admiral at Laurel this
week, will be shipped out to California
soon, where he will be got ready to
run in the Santa Anita Race February
%. Our favorite will try for the
100000 prize, the richest race in
America. Mr.. and Mrs. Dion Kerr
will go to California with Aneroid and,
Of course, Mr.. Manfuso will get there
In time to see his horse run in the

CITIZENS PLEDGE
FIGHT TFORL|BRARY
Tenth Anniversary Program
Is Occasion for Renewed
Friendship Drive.

With the celebration last week Of
the 10th anniversary Of the Tenley
Branch Library, the Friendship Citi-
sens' Association has pledged itself to
continue its campaign for 4 new
library building to replace the struc-
ture now in use.
The celebration was held Thursday
night. 10 years and day after the
temporary branch library In the jan
ney School had been moved to the
old eighth police precinct station. at
Wisconsin avenue and Albemarle
street NV, which had been aban-
doned when the precinct was moved
to new quarters on Albemarle street.
The event originally had been sched-
uled for Wednesday night. but was
postponed until the following evening
80 1t would not conflict with the reg
ular meeting Of the association.
Circulation Drop Studied.
For the past month q special COM
mittee Of the citizens association has
been investigating a drop In the book
circulation from the branch. The
first year the library was in use 1900
volumes were taken out, which figure
rose to 10000 q year ago Last year,
however. a slight drop in the circula-
ton was noted, and this drop was cited
by DR.. George F. Bowerman. District
librarian, when the association asked
for new branch.
Although the exact cause for the
drop has not yet been discovered.
Samuel J. Flickinger, association presi-
dent, declared that he believed it was
because the saturation point has been
reached and readers have stopped
patronizing that branch because they
no longer can fnd the beeks they
want there. The real reason Is lack
Of facilities" he added.
Old 10 Years Ago.
The building already was old when
its use as a police station was aban-
doned. Mr.. Flickinger said, and it has
| grown even worse in the last 10 years.
As an additional reason for construct
ing . new building he pointed out that
| several new schools had been estab-
lished since the library was opened
chief among them being the Woodrow
Wilson High School and the Alice Deal
Junior High. Many books needed in
school work are not available there, he
said. either because the branch is too
small to have all of them or because
the few volumes they do have are in
| continuous circulation.
| When students cannot find the
book they want. they have to make the
| long trip to the Georgetown branch
or even downtown to the central
building" he stated.
Mr.. Flickinger pointed out that the
library already owns plot upon which
= new branch could be constructed al
Wisconsin avenue and Albemarle street
NV. half q block from the present
building and next to the Janney
School. Cost Of new library has been
estimated at about $l35, 900.

equitable fiscal attitude of the Fed
eral Government to its Capital
City, this voteless and unrepre-
sented community searches for re-
lief. A number Of organizations
have expressed themselves as be-
lieving that the immediate cure
for most of these ills is to be found
in the establishment of an elective
local government for the District Of
Columbia. This movement Is COM
monty known as . campaign for
local suffrage.
AS yet there has been no COM
mitment to any particular form Of
an elective government, the propo-
nents contenting themselves With
the lining up Of those who in gen
eral approve the idea of electing
local officials. It remains to be
seen just to what extent these
groups will be able to get together
on the form Of government to be
advocated.
Many other organizations and
individuals have been observing the
movement and looking into its pos
sibilities for solving some Of the
Districts vital local problems. To
these it Is plain that Congress has
the power to provide for the elec-
ton Of such administrative officers
as may suit its fancy and create
