Miss st. John said she had
been asked what the word
"Soroptimist" meant. She told
the members that she didn't
know for sure what their name
meant, but thought she could
come pretty close to an accurate
guess.
To illustrate, she recalled her
first large newspaper assign
ment, an important court trial.
When she saw Annie Laurie, the
most famous neWspaperWoman
Of her day covering the trial for
q morning paper, the 17-year-old
Adela got stage fright.
LEARNS TRICKS OF TRADE
Learning she was a novice,
Miss Laurie invited Miss st. John
to lunch and gave her some
points on how to handle her as
signment. For the eight weeks
of the trial, Miss Laurie gave
her daily lessons in the tricks
Of the trade.
"It Is this big sister act which
reminds me Of what the name
'Soroptimist' implies, namely,
the best sister, the best
women" She added:
IF we could all be more like
radios-allowing ourselves to be
tuned in on, helping each other,
instead Of shutting ourselves up
selfishly, how much easier we
could make it for all woman
kind"
Yesterday was also the occa-
sion for the presentation of the
presidents pin to Mrs. Agnes
Newman, the president during
1888. Mrs. John S. Bennett, the
new president, gave the pin on
behalf of the club.

Under another proposal a tract

Lincoln Park Section
Development Held
Meriting Attention
Citizens Head Warns New
Opportunity Should Be
Paced by Planning

The Lincoln Park section has the
greatest opportunities in the Ma
tion's Capital, Alfred D. Calvert,
president of the Lincoln Park Cit
liens Association. told the group
yesterday, but warned that future
development must be accompanied
by steady program of housing.
school and street improvement and
eternal Watchfulness against unde-
sirable elements.
The civic group backed its leader
in three resolutions. 1t asked that
those homes which, as health or
safety hazards, are undesirable, be
removed or the obnoxious conditions
be corrected. It requested widening
of Fifteenth street from Benning
road NE. SOUTH It commended the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board
for denying licenses to the last four
applicants for liquor stores in the
neighborhood.
School Repairs Suggested.
In discussion, members suggested
that some of the money being spent
to build expensive new schools in
the outlying districts, be used to
repair older schools, and mentioned
the Madison, Taylor and Pierce
Schools, all in Lincoln Park. as need
ing repair work. Mr. Calvert held
that the $330,000 spent for the re-
cent addition to Eastern High School
could have been better spent in the
upkeep and repair of other schools
and charged that better-class people
move from sections with old schools,
with the result that undesirables
move in.
Reports that there are at least 20
homes either in state of disrepair
or without sewers, gas or electricity
in the section led to the motion by
William Phalen Of the Zoning Com
mittee seeking their replacement
Old weatherboard frame houses we're
particularly criticized as firetraps
and the homes without sewage were
condemned as insanitary.
Prophesying that Fifteenth street
NE. would be completely CONNER
cial within 10 years, Mr.. Calvert
asked that it be widened on the east
side or 10 feet. He urged imme-
