A miniature oil portrait of George
Washington, said to have been done
from life by Philip A. Peticolas, is
involved in a suit filed in Montgom-
cry County MD Circuit Court over
the estate of the late Charles Lee
Frank, Washington art collector and
well-known figure at auction sales
here for more than a quarter of a
century.
The portrait, which was exhibited
in the Corcoran Art Gallery during
the Washington Bi-Centennial Ex-
hibition in 1882, is unsigned. How
ever, Mr.. Peticolas was known to
have been friend of the first Presi-
dent, and another miniature on
ivory, reputed to have been done
from life in 1896, three years before
his death, is now in a collection in
Sandy Hill, Mass. It bears Peticolas'
signature.
In the suit Daniel j. Christopher
OF Washington set forth that before
the death of Mr.. Franks wife, Jua-
nita Lincoln Kidder Frank, in Feb

merely their ward, but had since
discovered he was a son of Mrs.

President District of Columbia Congress Of
Parents and Teachers.
The general Washington public
on Wednesday afternoon was af-
forded an opportunity to inspect the
rooms in the Gales School, where
the student aid work of the District
Of Columbia Congress of Parents
and Teachers is carried on. Many
people availed themselves of this in
vltation, which occurred as a part
of the 60 and See Tours" of the
Community Chest, and I am sure
that those who did so came away
with a new perspective regarding
this part of the parent teacher pro-
gram.
For they saw rows of clean used
clothing, hanging neatly upon racks
placed along the sides of the room;
they saw the busy women at sew
ing machines, repairing or refash-
ioning garments; they saw bins of
underclothing, all clean and ready
for the young wearers; they saw
SoNSo VA AAS w oAlOCo anu D,
with funds secured through
the Community Chest, to be given
to boys and girls whose feet would
be on the ground were it not for
this source of supply.
But best of all, I think, they saw
the cheerful, pleasant, women who
are IN charge of this work; mothers,
all OF them, who have reared or are
rearing families, and who, because
of that very fact realize what a real
tragedy improper or insufficient
clothing may be to child, and are
voluntarily giving many hours of
hard and exacting labor in order
to prevent such tragedies. All chill
dren sent to the student aid rooms
by local student aid chairmen or
school principals are taken care of.
Sometimes it is only a pair or two
of socks or stockings that are need
