Love Gives Life" is the theme of
the sermon. Last Sunday the lessons
gave special emphasis to Gods love in
contrast to the lovelessness of pros
porous men. The lessons for the Sec

that we consider the evils of a careless
and loveless world of humanity in the
light of the love of Him who laid down
His life for us.

ity felt it should be assured that any
plan even tentatively approved will
provide the proper number, size and
arrangement Of dwellings, will TT the
size and topography of the site; will
comply with District regulations and
with the plans of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. The
architects and the Alley Dwelling Au-
thority. therefore, have developed the
plans beyond United States Housing
Authority requirements, have conferred
with District officials and those of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and as result have
made changes in the first draft that
affect the number Of houses and their
arrangement. This, the Authority be-
lieves, is more readily and econom-
ically done at this stage than later,
and will expedite carrying the work to
the contract stage.
1t may help to an understanding
Of our local situation, to add two
statements not covered by the appli-
cation form. The outstanding need
for families Of the lowest income is
an increase in the number of low
rent dwellings. Studies, such as that
made by the League of Women Voters
and that being made of the present
relief situation, emphasize the de-
plorable conditions under which fami-
lies now are living. This has led to
suggestions that some agency buy or
rent vacant houses and put them in
a good state Of repair, 50 that the

families may be moved. Investiga-
ton shows, however. that very few
vacant houses adapted to this pur-
pose are now available.
Advisers All Qualified.
In formulating its program. the
Alley Dwelling Authority seeks not
only constant information and ad-
vice from other governmental agencies
but also from such citizens agencies
as the Washington Housing Associa-
ton and the Council of Social Agen-
cies and its members, especially those
who are dealing with families in
their homes. Recently it appointed
an Advisory Committee on Negro
Housing consisting OF the ranking
Negro of1cial in the public school
system, the executive Of 4 Negro So
cial settlement and 4 recently retired
official Of the Census Bureau who
specialized in statistics dealing with
Negroes.

resentatives of the United States Hous-
ing Authority and the Alley Dwelling
Authority have continued to this pres
ent moment. AS a result, it has been
agreed to extend two of the proposed
Negro slum sites If the land can be
secured. Decision on one of these ex-
tensions is so recent that the archi-
tect working on that development has
not had opportunity to modify his
plans in accordance with it. There
fore, the architectural staff of the
Alley Dwelling Authority has prepared
a plot plan to demonstrate the FEAST
hility of redevelopment for low-rent
housing.
After consultation with the United
States Housing Authority, the Alley
Dwelling Authority, in the latter part
of July. engaged architects in accord
ance with the terms of the agreement
reached by the United States Housing
of Architects. On September IA, in
accordance with instructions from the
United States Housing Authority, the
Alley Dwelling Authority conducted
hearing to secure evidence as to the
prevailing wage rates of architects,
craftsmen, ETC.. in the District of Co.
lumbia. On July % the architects
engaged to prepare tentative plans were
given general instructions and each
was given special instructions dealing
with his own particular development
The gist of these instructions was that
they were to prepare plans for good
dwellings at the lowest possible cost
cost including maintenance as well as
initial construction. The figure of $500
per room was given, but merely as a
mark to shoot at. Each site was rec
ognized as constituting a separate
problem. All of the architects have
submitted preliminary sizes which
have been worked over and in some
respects revised The last of these
was received on September 81.
Plans Beyond Basic Charts.
The Alley Dwelling Authority in this
Is going farther than it understands
the United States Housing Authority
requires. The United States Housing
Authority representatives at confer
ences have stated that they desire at
this stage only outline plot plans indi-
eating the maximum number of &C
ceptable dwellings that may be erected
In proposed development. For itself,
however, the Alley Dwelling Author

Eggs Will Tell Story Of
State At Exposition

The state of Washington is
planning a unique exhibit for the
Worlds Poultry Congress in Cleve-
land, Ohio, in. July, 1889, according
to j. G. Scott, Seattle, chairman OF
the exhibit committee.
The exhibit will include nine im>
mense eggs, standing in a crescent
SHAPED row. Each egg will be six
feet high and five feet three inches
wide, through the center. Each egg
will contain a miniature of one OF
the states greatest resources. One
egg will depict a typical scene in
Washington's forests, with a Cap
ton, "Timber for Homes" Another
egg will show a combine harvest
ing wheat in one of our biggest
wheat fields. The caption may read,
Grain for Energy, or The Bread
Basket of the World" A third egg
will show typical power plant,
with a caption reading, "Power for
Everything" Another will probably
contain a miniature showing an
avalanche Of eggs, with a caption
something like this: Eggs for the
Tables of the World"
The last egg will show a beautiful
farm homestead, with a caption
reading, "A Place to Live"
"The exhibit is to he a pageant
of eggs telling the story Of a great
state. We intend to make it the
bright spot in 80 acres of exhibits .
says Scott. 1--WE want to attract the
eye and hold the attention of the
estimated one million people who
are to visit the exposition"

kalsOmine may be washed off. Some
dairymen cover the windows with
sacks, which may be equally effec-
tive in darkening the barn and
causing the flies to be less active
during milking time.
DR.. Hill, however, scouts the USUAL
theory that flies are to blame for
reduced milk flow. Production de-
cline, he says, is due to lack of
feed nutrients. Pastures are usually
short in the summer. Unless these
pastures are supplemented by green
feed, silage or hay, COWS will go
down in production.
Cows whose milk flow declines
in July and August will not come
back into high production during
fall months, he says.

SOUTH SEWARD WIDENING IS
 NOW ASSURED
Property Owners Contri- bute $3,035 Toward
 $o, 800 Improvement

After receiving a check for S3,o3o from property owners ill the seward Street district, the City Council at it's regular meeting last night voted additional $1,765 for widening South Seward Street from Front to Willoughby, deciding to go ahead with the improvement immediate ly.
 Previously. the Council had voted S5 .OOO toward the improvement but when the property owners revealed their willingness in cold cash to participate in the project, the Coun- cil unanimously voted the addition al S1,765 necessary to make the i'm provement possible.
 Due to Public Works Administra- tion funds now being available tor sidewalks. the Council found 1t could eliminate the sidewalk cost of $400, thus bringing the actual cost to $9,800 instead of $l0,200 as it had been originally fixed. The property owners now have put up S3,035. the city providing the re- maining $6,765 The city is buying the right-of way and the property owners are moving their own build ings.
 Property owners effected are R. J. Sommers Construction Company, Juneau-Young Hardware, Central Properties, Inc of which J. B. War rack is President, and Oscar Harri.
 B Feet Wide
 The street will be widened to B feet, permitting for free flow of traffic both ways.
 Allen Shattuck presented the check. to the city from the property owners, pointing out that all were heartily in favor of the improve ment. Some of the larger donations toward the project were made by the properties which are directly effected, he said, but contributions toward the improvement were re- ceived from all over the Seward Street district.
 It is expected that work will start as soon as deeds to the right-of way are presented the city, Mayor Harry I. Lucas said.
 Haglund Gets Wharfinger
 Hiding Haglund, who has been acting as City Wharfinger since C. H. MacSpadden resigned, was ap- pointed by the Council to complete the city year in that position
 Approval was given to the ap- pointment of Nellie Simpkins as election clerk in Precinct No. 2 and the Rev. John Cauble in Precinct No. l. They will replace A. B. Cain and the Rev. O. L. Kendall, who previously had been appointed but will be unavailable for service or September 13.
