Study in Able Hands.
The regional development of the
surrounding country extending as far
north as Baltimore was set forth in
a foregoing article in which Frederick
LELAND. chairman Of the commission,
and John Nolen, director OF planning.
explained at length the larger aspects
Of the question. The study Of this
problem is in able hands.
The membership of the commission
is we'll known. Its chairman comes
equipped with long experience in city
planning problems in both Chicago
and New York. 1t also includes an
outstanding architect and well-known
city planner. the Army engineer men,
Der OF the District Commissioners and
the chief Of the Engineer Corps of
the Army. There is also q represent
ative Of the National Parks and the
Forestry Service. Congress itself is rep
resented by the chairman Of both the
House and the Senate Committees on
the District of Columbia.

ity, save for land purchase for park
purposes, but is purely an advisory
agent with no dictatorial powers. 1t

authorities concerned with the prob
lem under consideration. Being

planning Is assured which must

that undertaking was almost wrecked.
L'Enfant, that talented creator OF the
plan of old Washington, assigned
to his principal streets and avenues
width Of $50 feet, 80 feet Of which
was to be middle roadway bordered
with gravel-paved strips 80 feet wide.
in each of which two rows Of trees
were to be planted
Elms Now 5lock View.
This extreme road width allowed
that famous reciprocity of cities"
which was as equally a reason for
L'Enfant's radial avenues as their
shortening distance from point to
point" Later and more practical
authorities having in mind the cost of
paving and maintenance cut down
the road width in this particular ex-
ample to so feet, and the elms then
planted have now so grown that they
completely block the view. -
While the many radial avenues Of
the citys plan were carefully laid
out by L'Enfant so as to allow views
Of the Capitol and the President S
House, the later designers, not salts
fled with the narrowing of his central
roadway, proceeded to block any posi-
bic sight of these buildings with masses
Of thick foliage. An early planting
plan of the White House grounds
shows the vistas from the radial
avenues carried through to the very
building itself, making the portico
visible.
L'Enfant had aesthetic reasons for
his plan, but an enthusiastic writer in
1896 outdid him in declaring these
radial avenues were "emblems of the
rays of light which, issuing from
the Capitol, are directed to every part
of the Country to enlighten the in
habitants respecting their true inter-
ests and it is toward this central
point that the active vigilance of a
Nation Of free men will be directed"
No Necessity for Sacrifice.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission feels there is no
necessity to sacrifice a couple of miles
of mature trees in order to increase
the width of East Capitol street. Every
other tree could be removed and in
its stead, some 20 feet back, another
young tree planted. The space va
Gated would provide the necessary
light and air for the newcomers and
when the occasion demands a wider
roadway the older trees could be
sacrificed. This would give dis
tance between the new trees Of 120
feet-ample to restore the original
central roadway Of 80 feet as visioned
by L'Enfant-and would open up the
vista both up and down the new street.
An alternative suggestion is to re-
tain the present road width and, OF
course, the existing trees, adding a
narrow service on either side This
would then be planted with a border
ing line of trees, making four rows OF
elms.
But the lack of proper vista OF
the Capitol would not be remedied and
to give the necessary light and air in
order that the newly planted trees

You'd surely think so if you
saw the sacks of fan mail which
come to her every day.
But to return to her own
story.
"I'd been in Washington
working on a Government ap-
pointment job, secured for me by
kindly Jim Preston, Of the Sen;
ate Press Gallery. Jim was the
friend Of a friend back home IN
Paris, Mo-, and had been asked
to give the little girl from the
farm q paying job while she
looked over the situation IN the
East"
"The job was titled folder
but while I had it I never
learned what its duties were"
Miss Mcbride had attended .
school of journalism at the uni
versity back home and naturally
wanted to write. She was doing
features for a New York paper
when someone happened to say
to her that the time was ripe Tor
a story on modern American
music featuring jazz, so she
wrote one and sold it to the Sat
urday Evening Post.
'"The thought of writing for
the important national maga-
zines" said Miss Mcbride, "had
proven Q real mental hazard for
me. Once in the Post the hazard
The Washington times., 1938-03-18

was eliminated and I tried the
women's magazines with some
success"
While on the staff Of the
Curtis publications Miss NC
Bride met a young man who was
to surprise the entire organi-
zation by suddenly, out of the
blue sky, producing the promise
of Alice Longworth'S reminlS-
cences.
Landing eventually in a New
York radio station four years
ago he wanted to produce a
"Woman's Hour" and was in
need of a sort of Mrs. Dooley"
character for a honey chatty
feature.
So with practically no prepar
ration, and certainly no previous
experience, Miss Mcbride went
up for an addition at this mans
suggestion. Although she waited
two weeks before hearing any,
thing further, she got the JOB.
In describing her work Miss
Mcbride says preparing the ma
terial for her broadcastS really
amounts to writing four features
a day. She has a number OF
"hunch girls" who give her tips
and assistance in that way, but
she is her complete production

Taking care Of the mail Is an

Celery and
Cranberry Salad
Celery and cranberry jelly
make a crisp salad. Place half
Of the cranberry jelly in the
cold water. When the jelly gets
mould which has been dipped in
cold and starts to stiffen, add a
layer of finely chopped celery,
mixed with a few drops of lemon
Juice. Put the rest of the jelly
on top Of the celery, and serve
with mayonnaise dressing.
Stuffed
Cabbage
Turn back the outer leaves
that you intend to leave on the
cabbage, cut out a portion of the
heart, and wash the cabbage
well. Take enough uncooked rice
to fill the opening, allowing for
some to fill in between the
leaves. Season with a little
ground allspice, white pepper,
salt, and a teaspoonful of finely
chopped parsley. After filling
the cabbage, dot it all over with
butter. Close up the center
leaves, and set the head in a
saucepan just large enough to
hold it together, adding enough
water to let it steam slowly until
the rice is well done.
Lemon
Pie
Beat one egg and two egg
yolkS together with three-quar-
ters of a cupful of four-X sugar
and two heavy tablespoonfuls of
flour, the grated rind of one
lemon, the Juice Of the lemon,
and a cupful of cold water.

in the filling. When the pie is

whites of eggs with one cupful
of sugar. Cover the pie with this

Sheer at Their
OuOn Kind
Just how could any girl be a
helpmate to a husband if she
couldn't help him by being a
good wife and home maker and
at least helping him socially?
Girls sneer at boys of their
own kind, always looking above
them for the perfect man when
they themselves are inferior
quality. Parents aid and abet
them, thinking nothing is too
good for daughters who are
mediocre and have little merit
to recommend them.
I'd like the girls to write us
and tell us what they expect in
men and then name their own
qualities that give them the
right to expect those things.
Then I would also like them to
tell Of the faults they wouldn't
mind in these men, because they
have matching or equal faults.
Maybe 1 could understand how
so many of them justify their
demands for so much in us men.

Young girls who aspire to a
= movie career, or any other
interesting profession, will be
eager to know something of the
daily routine Of the lovely
Dean1a Durbin, who is already
a star Of Importance.
We met this dainty, 15-year-
old miss a few days ago at a
reception in her honor, and she
is really growing up. While she
still may have more inches to
grow in height, she has the
gracious manner Of q cultured
young debutante. and is indeed
beautiful.
One Addition
All She Had
Miss Deanna has always been
devoted to music, and when she
was IL years old. her mother
and teachers realized she was
gifted with an unusually fine
voice. 1t was then the pro-
ducers began to be interested
in her. After that, it took only
one addition for them to sign
her up and it was just no time
until she was acclaimed a bril-
liant star.
There is a lot of study, how
ever, in the daily life Of this
young girl, and to the satisfac-
ton of her directors and teach
ers, she is just as interested in
her work as any Of the older
performers, and is given parts
that would tax the ability and
strength of many seasoned stars.
Singing, as you know, is her
forte, but it has been discovered
she is quite a finished little
actress, too.
She LOOes
All Sports
Deanna's mother and personal
physician have always looked
after her diet, but there has
never been any need to urge her
to exercise. The little miss loves
all sports, especially tennis,
riding and her bicycle spins:
then, her work in singing would
seem to be quite enough activity
for any one.
Whenever there are long hours
Of exacting work before the
cameras, she has from nine to
ten hours sleep. Her beauty
treatments are simple, and are,
principally, plenty of soap and
water bathing, and although she
must wear a screen makeup, her
skin is perfect. So is her hair,
and her teeth.
