Africa. Eclipse expeditions of astron-
omrs will be located in both contir-
ents. The particularly favorable fea-
ture of this eclipse Is that it will last
four minutes, a comparatively long
time. You will recall that the totality
at the two eclipses visible in North
America recently, those of 1925 and
1882, lasted only about on-half min
ute and one minute and a half re-
spectively. The length of this eclipse
enables the astronomers to carry out
longer and more detailed observa-
tons than the shorter usual dura-
tons permit. This eclipse, therefore,
should be highly productive of valu-
able information. A further impor-
tant favorable circumstance, not in
itself of astronomical natur, is that
the chances for cloudless weather in
the regions where totally is observ-
able is practically one hundred per
cent.

Three themes were introduced in
this piece the first two based
on Christmas melodies, the last, as
the program notes stated, a popu-
lar anthem. There was also short
fugue, the pedal solo and a very
grand conclusion.
Examples of lighter nature were
Padre Martins Gavotta in F. Major,
Claude D'Aquin's Noel sur les Flutes,
two small pieces of his own, Ber-
ceuse and Ariel. Also represented
on his program were Guilmant, Co
govt and Widor, the first also with
a Christmas motif, Noel Langue-
docien; the second, Rogations, de-
scribing the liturgy the three days
preceding the Ascension, very de-
scriptive and very beautiful; and
third, Scherzo in E. Major, effective
and neatly played in Bonnet's fin
isfed style.
The organ recital last night was
sponsored by the Mattatuck Musi-
cal Art Society.

TOO MANY
EXTRAG

The extra situation in Hollywood
has been little improved by honest
administration at Central Casting.
Previously there were few hundred
favored extras who at least made a
living. Today, with studio jobs me-
ticulously assigned so that each ELI
gible atmosphere player gets his fair
share, they're all starving.
Everyone knows the answer:

Crippled Children
Education Study by
Federation Asked
Burroughs Citizens
Association Supports
Finch Resolution

A resolution recommending to the
Federation of Citizens Associations
for study the present "deplorable
situation" in regard to the educa-
ton of crippled children in homes
and in the schools of the District of
Columbia was adopted last night
by the Burroughs Citizens Associa-
ton following introduction by Will
bur S. Finch chairman of the Dis
trict Of Columbia Suffrage Associa-
ton.
Mrs. Myrtle Larson of the social
service department of Emergency
Hospital spoke on the necessity for
plan to educate such children
She included this in a four-point
program of social service she rec
commended for the District. Other
points are:
l. At least four convalescent
homes for patients who no longer
need direct medical aid in hospitals
but are not ready to be sent home
or returned to relief rolls.
2. A home or institution to cure
inebriates.
3. A dental clinic to serve persons
of no means who need denture serv-
ice to preserve or promote health.
Sees Service Lacking.
Enumerating many services OF
Emergency Hospital and organiza-
tions in the District, Mrs. Larson
nevertheless stated Washington still
lacks features other cities provide.
The association asked for traffic
lights at Twentieth street and Rhode
Island avenue NE. and at Summit
place and Rhode Island avenue.
Complaints were voiced against
both intersections as being very dam
gerous, the former because of the
fire engines rushing out into the
congested traffic from the Twenty
second street engine house and chill
dren from four schools crossing daily
at the Summit place and Rhode Is
land avenue intersection.
Fred Nerlich, chairman OF the
Police and Mails Committee, in
formed the group that Traffic Di-
rector William H. Van Duzer had
disclosed there would be no truck
route through the Burroughs terri
tory as had been rumored.
No formal action was taken on Mr.
Nerlich's suggestion for Is additional
policemen for the department.
No Action on Dispensaries.
Speaking on the District liquor
question, Mr.. Finch said, There are
too many liquor stores here, but the
blame for the bad situation that has
arisen does not rest with the in
dustries but with the regulations
governing them. Loose policy and
loose enforcement must accept the
responsibility" No action was taken
on the question of Government
owned dispensaries.
Mr.. Finch offered motion asking
that Kenneth P. Armstrong, financial
secretary of the association, be en-
powered to appear before any con-
gressional hearings on the reorgani-
cation of the District government, as
he appeared before the Commits
sioners last fall. The motion was
unanimously passed.
