For some foolish reason. too many
OF us associate beauty and romance
( with youth. 1t is true, of course,
! that the girl in her teens and early
! twenties has the advantage of a
fresh complexion, lissom figure and
unending vitality but there is no
reason why the woman of thirty,
forty or even fifty should sit back
and let the younger girl take all
the laurels. The older woman has
the advantage, of experience and. if
she is willing to devote a little time
and trouble to her appearance, she
can Out-distance her younger, less
sophisticated competitors. She has
poise that will make the younger
girl seem awkward by comparison
and an ability to meet and deal with
people which gives her a running
start from the first "how-do-you-do."
So even though you are not as
young as you'd like to be, there's
no reason to feel that you are out
of the race. Here are few hints
which will make you look younger,
feel gayer and probably carry off
AhC PiAc lhS younger girls CONel.
Keep Supple
First of all, you must give added
care to your figure. After thirty
woman's figure has a tendency to
thicken, especially around the waist.
But series of setting-up exercises,
rigidly adhered to, should take care
of that problem in short order. Re-

Opposition to several features Of
the so-called Seal plan for re-
organizing the District government,
including the vesting Of more powers
in the Board of Commissioners, was
registered last night by the Progress
sive Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton, which met in the Curtis

Praise was voiced for the efficiency
Of the present Board of Education
as well as for the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
Capt. Rhoda Milliken, head of the
Women's Bureau Of the Police De-
partment, urged the citizens to take
advantage Of the present housing
facilities available for recreation by
securing efficient personnel and
leadership to supervise recreation
for Georgetown girls. In her dis
cussion, Capt. Milliken emphasized
that girls between the ages of 16
and 20 years are in most need Of
this type of training, which should

the National Training School for
Girls the representative asked Miss
Katherine Lenroot, chief of the
Children's Bureau, to send some one
from her staff to those institutions.
After each visit he has made similar
requests for investigation by Fed
eral observers to corroborate his
own impression.
Few Visits by Officials.
Yesterday, Mr.. D'Alesandro was
told by E. w. Cassie, superin-
tendent of the Industrial Home
School, that only three Commis-
sioners had visited the institution
in II years, and by Miss Anne An
druss, superintendent of the Ma.
tional Training School for Girls,
that the Commissioners had never
been at the school since she took
up residence there two years ago.
THE superintendents at the Home
for the Aged and Infirm and the
Children's Receiving Home told me
the same thing" the Representative
said How can the Commissioners
cut the estimates when they don't
even know the needs?"
Perhaps If they saw the institu-
tions, they wouldn't be so willing
to cut the estimates" he added. I'm
not putting all the blame on the
Commissioners but I don't think
Congress is solely to blame for the
conditions at these places"
Congratulates Two.
At both the Industrial Home
School and the National Training
School for Girls, Mr. D'Alesandro
congratulated the superintendents
for their good work in the face Of
financial difficulties.
The Maryland Representative, who
was accompanied by Public Welfare
Director Robert Bondy, said he
believed the training school was "a
flretrap." He told Miss A11druss he
thought it was a shame the entire
plant didn't burn down when. the
main building caught fire a few
months ago. .....,,....
That fire, he was told, resulted In
an expenditure Of $370 for repairs,
which was taken from the money
for food, and resulted in cutting
the milk allowance from A quarts
to 80 quarts, cutting the butter
allotment from 100 pounds to 80
pounds and substituting bologna for
other meat on the menu.
Deficiencies Cited.
After being told that the institu-
ton couldn't afford a night watch
man, that a clerk was working on q
charwoman's salary, that the place
had already gone $500 over its 81 200
coal allotment, that the institution
had no parole officer to run its
manual training or domestic science
classes, Mr.. D'Alesandro declared
that every institution in his native
Baltimore was better equipped than
the training school.
He also said he would recommend
that the $500 maximum allotment
for each girl annually should be
substantially raised after being told
that the institution had to keep its
enrolment up to an average of 764
girls in order to operate financially.
why, that's putting premium
on delinquency" he declared.
When he visited the Industrial
Home School he was told by Mr..
Cassie that discarded table tops were
used in lieu of tiles for the walls, he
said:
"It looks like all the District
institutions are patched up"
Otherwise he was tavorably i'm
pressed by the school, though he
agreed with Mr. Cassie that the
aged buildings should be replaced

Clarified.
The Courts have interpreted
the law in such a way as TO prac-
tlcally bar a claimant from COM
pensation for hernia unless he
either slipped or fell in the pro
cess of injuring himself. If a
worker suffers q hernia by lifting
some heavy object on the job.
and does not slip or fall. this is
nevertheless an injury sustained
al his work and he should pc
compensated. else. the social
and economic purposes OF the Act
are defeated. The present status
Of the law would require an en-
ployc to become legal-minded IN
order to get his compensation
he must either use the magic
words slip" or fall" or lose
his compensation. This is not
only unfair but will drive needy
employe into making a false
statement about slipping or fall
/ ing in order to win an award.
The law should be amended so
as to allow compensation for
hernia in any case where 1t is
sustained in the course Of em-
ployment.
&. Appointment OF Pay
ments Should Be Abolished.
The law now provides that an
employee shall receive only part
compensation for an injury if his
disability might be traced in
some degree to "a pre-eXisting
disease or innrmity" Sec. SO,

receive full compensation ant
not part for the disability. How

charged only for the result OF
the second injury on the present
