PIoyhouses Attractive

A real playhouse in the backyard
is ideal for keeping the children out
IN the air and at the same time It
protects them from the blazing sun.
Attractive playhouses that add to
the appearance of the grounds can
be quickly and inexpensively built

I'VE had a great time with Susie,

said. Every time we started re-
hearsing, Susie would complain in

us to stop rehearsing until they fed
Susie. Then we could go on"
Also present on the stage was

has received letters asking that the
boxes be removed because the gar
bage and dead animals tossed into
them made the street unpleasant.
Mt. Xanten is proud of his trash
boxes. He considers them the best
looking in the country. In some
cities cover has to be lifted. In
other places, the top must be pushed
to put the trash into the box. New
York has open wire baskets, but
Mr.. Xanten said the trash then
looms just as conspicuous as if it
were on the street.
Wants Boxes Dignified.
There are some who have a diff
ferent attitude toward Washing
tons trash boxes. Some claim they
look like mail boxes and letters
are dropped into them. Others feel
that a sign asking people to help
keep the. city clean would attract
the attention of pedestrians. Mr..
Xanten feels the boxes should be
"dignifled'' and not too conspicu-
Gus. But, said an objector, they
shouldn't be so inconspicuous that
nobody can find them.
The boxes are freely distributed
through the downtown area. Yet
a civic-minded pedestrian with a
banana peel in his hand may have
to walk three blocks or wait for a
traffic light to change to get rid
Of it.
More boxes would provide less
excuse for the man on the street.
But what of the litter surrounding
the trash boxes and indicating that
the pedestrians ignored them?

Package Delivery Ruling
Absolves Intermediary

Municipal Court Judge Cayton
yesterday ruled that person acting
In the capacity of an Intermediary
who accepted delivery of an article
addressed to third party and then
failed personally to turn it over to
the proper addressee, could not be
answerable for damages for i'm
proper delivery of the package.
The jurist's ruling in the first
case of its kind in the municipal
tribunal placed responsibility for
delivery of an article solely with
the transporting agent. !
The case was brought by the
Dime Transfer and Messenger
Service, 612 L street NV, against
Mrs. Norman p. Smith of 1889
Montague street NV. The delivery
firm sought a $5.29 judgment
against the defendant who, it was
charged, failed to deliver package
valued at that amount which she
accepted and which was addressed
to a roomer in a house adjoining
Mrs Smiths home.
The package, containing bathing
suit, was addressed to Miss Helen
Hassel, next-door neighbor, but
was left with Mrs. Smith because
Miss Hassel was away at the time
of delivery.

Ordinarily. one might expect some
temperamental fireworks when 2
opera stars, 70 musicians and guest
conductor celebrate their first get
together by rehearsing for two solid
hours on a hot summer afternoon.
But there was nary an outburst
yesterday when Conductor Joseph
Bamboschek, the National SYM
phony Orchestra and the two singers
spent the hottest part Of the after
noon rehearsing for tonight's pro-
duction of Gounod's Faust" at the
Potomac Water Gate.
It was all very informal and every
one seemed to be having good
time. The musicians, seated on an
extra barge in front of the concert
stage, wore straw hats or sun visors,
sport shirts and slacks. Mr.. Bam-
boschek was in his shirtsleeves, al
ternately waving his baton and cigar.
On the concert stage sat the two
American singers who will appear
in the leading roles Of the opera
tonight - the beauteous Helen
Gleasonn, who will sing the leading
soprano role of Marguerite, and
Sydney Rayner, who has the title
role of Faust.
They sang when they were sup
posed to, and between times re-
newed an old friendship. Both are

The District was allocated that

farms under the Bankhead- Jones
Farm Tenant Act, the F. S. A. an
nounced today.
Virginia received an ALLEGATION Of
$l,12l ,975 and Maryland got $237 PAS.
Considerable interest was evi-
denced in Washington's ALLEGATION,
however, and the F. S. A. admitted
that several inquiries were received
In connection with the announce
ment.
Allegations were made on the
basis Of the number of farmers and
tenants listed in the last available
census. In the Districts case the
1885 census was used. It showed
80 farmers, of whom 81 were tenants,
in the District. Most of the farmers,
it was said, lived near the Maryland
line on Wisconsin avenue NV. Real
estate developments are believed to
have bought all the farms since
1885. At any rate, there is no
record of loans ever having been
granted to tenants here.

Urged by Union Council

A plea for funds to establish q

Mr.. Katz said he had some hope
of revival of action on the program.

when Congress, in passing the 1941
District Appropriation Act, deleted
the suggested $150,00O revolving
fund for purchase of food stamps
from the Federal Surplus Com
