committee on the traffic <lls with
the hope of contributing some even
tual relief to the chaotic traffic
situation. 1t failed. however, TO
consider measure authorizing
establishment of municipality owned
street parking facilities. Chair
man Randolph said this bill, which
would permit the Commissioners to
proceed with plans to establish
parking lots on the fringe of the
central business section, will be
given special consideration at a
meeting next week when the COM
| mlttee takes up report of its
traffic subcommittee.
Sets Later Deadline.
The committee gave its unani-
| uIOuS LluOl SeUltllJ 10 llle SUBWAY
survey resolution sponsored by
Representative D'Alesandro. Demo-
crat, of Maryland. In original form
! it directed the Utilities Commission
to make the study with the aid
of District or Federal agencies, and
called for report not later than
February IS. Amendments adopted
by the committee direct the utili-
ties group and the Commissioners
! TO work Jointly, and defer the dead
line for the report to March Is.
The bill requiring new Federal
buildings to provide parking space
for employees also was amended be-
fore being reported to the House.
Space for accommodation of cars Of
20 per cent of the employees was
called for in the original measure
AS changed the requirement is not
less than 10 per cent or more than
20 per cent.
The subway survey will have to
be mace without special appropri-
alton. since no funds are author
lied in the resolution. Chairman
Gregory Hankin of the Utilities
Commission has estimated it would
cost $4,000.

Business Firms Urged
To Reach Quotas for
Chest Victory
Group Solicitation Unit
Falls Short by 10 Pct,
Lost Figures Show

Banks. bakeries, brokers. depart
ment stores and public utilities are
among the 100 business establish
ments here being urged to make a
final effort for the Community
Chest, to erase the s73700 shortage
which the Group Solicitation Unit
must make up to achieve victory
for the Chest in time for the final
noon report meeting Monday.
The s678,000 Chest quota which
business and industrial Washington
has been asked to subscribe repre-
sents approximately one-third of
the entire $4,000 900 goal necessary
for the maintenance of human well
fare services by SO Chest agencies
during 1912. The amount of the
quota is second only in size to that
sought by the Government Unit
1888 900.
Responses from firms reporting
through the group unit up to last
Tuesday had totaled 1904 ,226, or
89.ll per cent of quota.
I'VE know that Washington busi-
ness firms are swamped with the
biggest business season they have
ever experienced, but that is all the
more reason for meeting our well
fare responsibilities with 100 per
cent generosity" A. G.. Neal chair
man of the group unit, said yes
terday.
Few Reach 100 Pct.
Only a few of the total number
of business firms have completed
their Chest job with 100 per cent
record of employe participation and
100 per cent goal subscribed, it was
stated. While most of them have
reached the 80 per cent achieve
ment mark. it is the remaining 10
per cent which is of such vital i'm
portance now, Mr.. Neal emphasized.
Seriously tagging among the busi-
have made no report of any Chest
givers to date and another $50
where response is far below the 80
per cent average These two groups,
totaling about $50 business estab-
lishments, have about $500 en-
ployes who have not so far made
Chest pledge, it was pointed out.
Because some of these firms have
a comparatively small number of
employees, they tend to under
estimate the Importance of their
giver response, Mr.. Neal believes.
Every contribution, no matter
what its size, is important now to
the success of the Community Chest
campaign Mr.. Neal reminded
Group Unit 'keymen" entrusted
with the job of soliciting Chest
gifts.
Honor List Announced.
"The measure of support which
we extend to our Chest agencies will
determine their ability to meet calls
for aid and distressed people all
during the coming year"

achieved places on the Group Unit

cent Chest quota subscribed, follow

Yes, Mime. Schiaparelli, We Really Do Appreciate The Beauties Of America

We thought of them as being beautiful before But they look beautiful to us now.
 There are rights-to say what we think, to wor- ship as we please to meet together and discuss our problems to print the truth as it. Those rights look beautiful to even the least educated among us Perhaps haven't always appreciated them. We do today.
 There is our growing social conscience.
 There close family circles not broken by war
 There children, unfrightened safe. A NEW AMERICANISM
 There is our newly-awakened devotion to our coun- try-our deep appreciation of what it offers to even the humblest eagerness to it in whatever way best That spirit is the most beauti- full thing in America today.
 Part of what you said is true, Mime. Schiaparelli There beautiful things in country. But you are wrong in assuming that we don't appreciate them.
 We appreciate them to the last true American among us.

WOMAN,S REALM =
GlOrting Yourself
By Alicia Hart
MA service Staff Writer

NEA SeEVlcc StaM WEISet
 The chic woman reads dozens of stories about new fashions before she plans her spring wardrobe. She con- siders each new color, silhouette and accessory carefully.
 Then, because she is smart about considering her budget, as well as which lines and shades are most fiattering to her type, she eliminates from her list items that do not suit her background and those which are impractical from other view, points.
 A COMMON-SENS
 COMPROMISE
 For example, if her days are spent in an office and her social life con- sists of simple cocktail parties after work, the movies and having a few people in to dinner occasionally, she does not buy cocktail suit with fishtail skirt. however new and ex- citing 1t looks.
 She puts the money she has al- lowed for dress-up clothes into love- ly housecoat mad dinner dress or evening dress with jacket instead of an elaborate, ultra-formal gown which she isn't likely to be able to wear more than twice year.
 Unless she can have more than one pair of shoes in her Easter ward robe. she doesn't buy red oneS-no matter how intriguing they are. If she can have only one hat-for rainy days as well as sunny ones-she does not buy frothy little lowered hat with yards of yelling. If she can have only one pair of gloves, she chooses dark ones.
 FITTING FASHIONS
 TO THE FIGURE
 If she is short and inclined to be plump, she eschews capes and wide brimmed hats. If she's t-cheSted and inclined to be angular, she avoids perfectly plain, severely tail ored shirtwaist dresses with no soft touches at throat or wrists.
 She does not wear mannishly tailored, single-breasted suits of hard finish wools unless she knows that she is pretty. And she does not wear ultra feminine, be-ruffled, positively frilly clothes if she is more than size IS.

Let it get hot, but not to the smok- ing stage. Cook the nuts until they are delicate brown, which should take about three minutes. In deep fat frying, cover bottom of frying basket with nuts, lower them into the hot oil, and fry a delicate brown (about minute). Add salt and spice after nuts are drained, but while they are still hot. Stir the nuts as the salt is added.

strength" He might have said, By reason of vitamin G." It is thought that this vitamin has a definite influence on the length of life.
 Deficiency in vitamin c may be responsible for various ills. Among them are digestive disturbances, nervous depression, general week. ness and an unhealthy condition of the skin.
 Infectious disease is more easily contracted, and the prime of life definitely shortened, by the early development of conditions that should only arrive with old age
 Here is another vitamin that helps our winter fight against colds and other physical ills that assail us in cold weather. An extra sup. ply is good heath insurance.

WHY NOT USE YOUR BOOSTER
 PUMP?

WHY NOT USE YOUR BOOSTER
 PUMP?
 Each heart beat pumps five or six ounces of blood into the great artery (aoTta), then after the beat the pressure of blood in the aorta closes the valve so that no blood can flow back into the heart The great artery and the other arteries farther from the heart help to propel the blood along its course by their elas- tic rebound and the contraction of the voluntary muscles or their elastic tone" (if the muscles are not paralyzed or weak from disuse or nutritional deficiency) also aids in driving the blood through the arteries. Even in the finest arteries visible under the microscope, the arteroiles, there is enough blood pressure to send the blood through the so-called capillary bed, that is, to cause it to ooze or filter between tissue cells or flores.
 In the capillary bed the arterial blood gives up its oxygen to the tissue cells and the fuel (blood sugar. the cells require in order to function; and the blood picks up the carbon dioxide and other com bustion products which must be carried back to the lungs. From the, capillary bed the blood begins its return journey in the smallest visible veins, called venuleS. (There are no capillary vessels-capillaries, so-called, (are merely spaces be- tween cells or f1bres). There is lit- tie pressure in the venules or small est veins. What force, then, drives the blood back through the veins?
 The veins are equipped with valves at intervals along their course. Pressure by muscles around the veins squeezes blood along, but only toward the neart, for the valves pre- vent back How. Not all veins have valves, but chiefly those veins which are more or less vertical when one is on all fours So the veins in the legs and arms have valves, but the veins in the trunk generally do not. Hence it helps the circulation to get out of the vertical and into the horizontal position; not so much just lying down as when the muscles are used in the horizontal position.
 Aspiration is an important aid in the circulation through the veins. Aspiration is the suction" effect produced by a full inspiration. During inspiration (taking in air) pressure within the chest is low cred and at the same time pressure within the abdomen is increased (by downward contraction of the dia- phragm) and the effect of this is to carry considerable blood from the many veins in the abdomen into the veins in the chest, nearer the heart. Of course some of the blood

That's where you're wrong, Mime. Schiaparelh. We may not all have the discerning eyes of dress design er-b1t every last one of us knows we have beautiful things in our country. And if we've never fully ap- preciated them before-we do today. THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL, NOW
 There are our lights. We appre- ciate thoSe-now that the world knows the meaning of biackouts.
 There are our homes. Even the smallest of them look good to us now. For we can rest in our own homes at night, safe and unfright- ened.
 There are our elections, which are the real thing, not mock ceremonies.
