GREENBE[T SETS
SCHOOLS PARLEY
Glasses Started Despite
Controversy Over Funds
for Operation.
BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

by StaH Correspondent OF Inc Star
GREENBELT. Md, Sept. THE
two schools in this model low-cost
housing community today opened with
three teachers less than needed be-
cause of increased enrolment due to
the fact that Greenbelt authorities
have failed to provide sufficient funds
for operation.
In an effort to work out some agree
ment between Prince Georges County
and the Farm Security Administration
for the operation of the schools, the
Board of County Commissioners yes
terday set September ~ as the date
for meeting between members of the
board, the Board of Education and
F. S. A. authorities.
Acting on the request of Supt. of
Schools Nicholas Orem, the county
board decided that the county will not
accept the added financial responsible
ity OF the Greenbelt schools unless the
Federal agency provides sufficient
money for their operation.
Oflcials of the F. S. A. have written
to the Board Of Education demanding
that the two schools be operated out
OF regular tax funds. This the board
has declined to do, since it would
put an extra burden on the taxpayers
OF Prince Georges County for the
education Of children living on tax
exempt Government property"
F. S. A. has offered the Board of
Education s27,305 for the operation
Of the schools this year. Last year,
with less than half this years enroll
ment. $4,000 was provided. 1t is esti-
mated by the board that the cost of
the two schools this year will be $685.
900.
The only expense the county is will
ing to make for the operation Of the
schools. it was declared, is the payment
OF $3.50 for half the cost Of operating
the high schools. which county chill
dren living outside the town are al
lowed to attend.

Lovely Model
Prettiest
OF 1893
Miss Virginia Judd
Wins Advertising
Art Accolade
BY JOHN ROBERT POWERS.

This is about Miss Virginia Judd.
who was chosen by the advertising
art directors as the most beautiful
model of this year. Virginia was born
in Indianapolis, Ind, % years ago.
She came to my Office nearly four
years ago and. unlike most girls
starting in the modelling profess
sion, she had an enormous amount
OF self-assurance. This was probably
due to the fact that she had won
several beauty contests at Butler
University, where she attended
school, and that she was singled
out by the beauty scout of a large
and exclusive dress house, who
brought her to New York to display
their clothes.
She soon became bored with the
monotony of taking on and off
dresses from 9 to $3.50 each day and
about a month after she arrived in
New York she presented herself at
my office. She made an immediate
impression upon me because of her
delightful manner and her appear
ance. I did feel, however, that in
order to be really successful model
ing she would have to make up her
lips bit differently.
You will notice that Virginia has
rather wide cheekbones, and when
a person has this facial character
istic it is advisable to bring the
lips together very delicately in order
to offset it. This can be done by
accentuating the natural contour Of
the lips. This, plus Virginia's nat
ural charm, equipped her for her
entrance into the realm of CONNER
cial posing. She has been extraordi-
narily successful in the field, pro-
crossing every year in her work and
earning power.
She has some recommendations OF
her own for feminine beauty. They
are: Get plenty of sleep, don't wear
Wacky clothes, try to look as natural
as possible, and let your personality
do the rest," all really splendid.
advice.
Virginia has posed for many IA
nous products and her picture can
be seen in almost any magazine that
you care to look in. Her greatest
thrill came when she was chosen as
the most beautiful model of 1898"
and was given q costume to wear
that was actually worth $1,000 900.

By MARY ALLEN HOOD.

Nobody Except a naturalist could
possibly be up on all the required
home conditions of the 225 known
members of the turtle family. But
the box" land turtle is a different
matter.
In the first place, land living
turtles are called "tortoises." Tor
toises usually have an unattractive
brown complexion, short clawed feet
and live largely on vegetable matter.
Everthing else is too fast for them
to catch up with. Any one can
sneak up on head of lettuce!
Box tortoises wear plates fastened
across their stomachs so that they
can completely close all the doors
after pulling in the arms and legs.
Gopher tortoises (another popular
brandt dig holes in the sand and
set up housekeeping in pairs. That
swapping turtle, which every one
always expects to see when they
meet box tortoise, has a head so
big he can't get it into his house.
He snaps at the public instead. No
one has tried to muzzle him yet.
Terrapins, mud turtles, feel
equally at home on land or in fresh
water, but must have the choice
Il the matter. Being able and will
