300 Receive Degrees
Al 6. W. Ceremony;;
zimbaIist Plays
VioIinist Guest Artist
Before 1000 Persons
AT Constitution HoII

Violin music eXpertly played was
heard in Constitution Hall last night
In place of the words of COM
mence ment speaker as more than
300 students were graduated from
George Washington University.
More than 1000 persons attending
the exercises applauded two encores
from the celebrated concert violinlSt,
Efrem Zimbalist, who was the main
attraction. His opening selection,
"Poeme" by Chausson, was perhaps
the most difficult and the most
masterfully played of the program,
although the Shubert- -Wilhelmj Ave
Maria" and Zapateado, one of his
own numbers, were enthusiastically
received.
Eight students from the District
and nearby vicinities received di-
plomas with distinction. They were
Kenneth Kenyon, Mary Slappey,
Thessa Holland, Margery Lytle,
Nicholas Pronko and Melvin Lewis
of the District; Laura Phillips of
Maryland, and Myldred Dotye of
Virginia.
Trustee Presents Degree.
A highlight came when President
Cloyd Heck Marvin of the university
halted the procession of graduates
across the rostrum to permit Lloyd
B. Wilson, trustee, to present a
degree to his daughter. Martha.
Dr.. Marvin praised the faculty of
the anniversary and disclosed that
this year. for the first time in its
history, the enrolment will exceed
10000.
In brief charge to the graduates
who received his message standing,
he said in part:
You are members of a worthy
company. God blessed you with
inherent capabilities. With the fire
of discipline and the oil of under
standing you have tempered your
latent possibilities. Now you dedi-
cate them, we'll wrought at the forge
of purposefulness, to the service of
your Nation"
Candidates for degrees were pre-
sented by the deans of the various
schools.
Practice Began Two Years Ago.
The practice of substituting an
artist for a commencement speaker
at the winter graduation exercises
was inaugurated two years ago when
Miss Gladys Swarthout, Metropol-
tan Opera mezzo-soprano was pre-
sented. Last year it was the concert
and operate baritone, John Charles
Thomas. Vladimir Sokoloff accom-
panied Mr.. zimbalist last night.
An orchestra directed by Leon
Bruslloff. with John Russell Mason
at the organ. provided additional
musical numbers.
A husband and wife, Richard and
Lillian Schayer, received bachelor of
science degrees together.

has certainly been Its most difncult
and probably It's most important un-
dertaking. Tax experts employed
for the purpose found that city and
county taxes in some competitive
business districts could be paid with
merely one or two months property
rental, while some sections Of the
as much as six months rent into the
public till.
Taxes Readjusted.
The reason was that the outlying
properties paid taxes on compare
lively recent assessments, while
downtown levies were based on as
sessments an antiquated as the
buildings themselves.
considering the area as a whole
rather than as so many individual
properties, the associations tax ex-
perts based their assessment recon-
mendationS on the income of the
properties as well as on their current
valuations.
THE result was that cooperative
public officials, realizing that the
associations program would stabilize
valuations and boost business to the
benefit of the tax rolls, needed the
recommendations, have reduced tax
assessments on the properties of as
sociations members to the tune of
46 per cent.
Continuing phases of Oakland s
decentralization program are
financed from the war chest of
property owners contributions and
annual dues, which the association
never lets fall below the $4,000
mark. For as General Manager
Dudley Frost has oft reiterated:
ANY successful property owners
association must always have Suffl-
cient money to do we'll those things
which are required, regardless OF
costs. That has been the case with
DUR organization, and any group who
attempts to function along these
lines without ample money is
doomed to failure"

By MARGARET NOVEL;.

Though a few warm days make
most of us wish to freshen up our
houses for spring, several muddy,
rainy ones will convince us that
everything that is done too soon
will have to be done over again.
This is a good time to attend to
all the small sewing details which
will free the spring days for out
door work. So open up the sewing
machine, give 1t a good oiling and
cleaning and a new needle, and in
| the next two weeks make all the
useful and attractive necessities OF
household that are invaluable to
good housekeeping. There are dish
towels, ironing board covers, new
kitchen curtains, play room slip
covers, and innumerable other items
| that take very little time with the
proper attachments for the machine.
If you have not been sewing very
much lately an afternoon at the
sewing center nearest you will send
you home with a mind full of new
ideas, and best of all, the under
standing of how to turn them out
with fine professional air.
Make Garment Bags.
One of the incest ways to get
a warm glow of pride every time
you open the closet door is to
make II a spring wardrobe Of gar
ment bags and hat boxes covered in
material that match the color
scheme of your room. These you
may do yourself and turn them
out in matching sets like the ac-
comparing picture.
Select fabric that resists dust
and soil, closely woven and good in
color. The garment bags may be
washable. A plain fabric trimmed
with bands of patterned fabric, or
figured one trimmed with plain
colored ruffles make an interesting
combination.
Here's how you go about making
these decorative slip covers for hat
or blanket boxes. Buy or make
sturdy cardboard boxes measuring
II inches square by inches deep.
The instructions given here are
essentially the same for all sizes;
add or subtract the necessary num-
Der of inches to adjust the measure
ments to smaller or larger boxes.
For box about II inches square,
you will need four pieces of fabric
about 18 inches long by IL inches
wide. These measurements allow
for seams on all edges, and for a
hem along the top.
Stitch Pieces Together.
Stitch the four pieces together
along the 12-inch edges on the
wrong side of the fabric. \ inch in
from the edge. You will now have
box arrangement ready for the
bottom piece. For the bottom cut
a piece of fabric 1914 inches square.
Attach this piece, on the wrong
side, to the edges of the 18-inch
sides, stitching 4 inch in from the
edge. Press all the seams. Turn
right side out. Finish the top edge

available for mortgage loans was 8
per cent greater than 1t had been
the previous January, he said. Janu-
airy and July are Enthusiastically
the months when greatest turnover
of funds among savings and invest
ment institutions takes place, and
this January the money paid out by
savings and loan was less than last
July.
This was the setenth month in q
row in which the new money in
vested in savings and loan institu-
tions had been substantially aboA
the like month of the previous year,
and demonstrated the increasing
ability of more people to save money
over and above their living needs,
Mr.. Theobald believes.
The January inflow of new money
was 902 per cent greater than that
of December, and more than twice
that of November, he said.

with a l-inch hem, run q draw
string through 1t and pull 1t tightly
for a snug At and tuck the over
tapping edges inside the top Of
the box.
The lid of the box requires a
piece of fabric 18 inches square,
plus two side strips each three
inches wide and So inches long for
the side drop. The ends of the two
strips are stitched together on the
wrong side about 4 inch from the
edge, making one long strip 70
inches long. Use the edge stitcher
on your machine to finish the long
piece, then turn the long strip and
the top 18-inch square wrong side
out. Stitch the strip to the square
piece, about Il inch in from the
edge all around. Turn right side
out. The cover is now ready for
the box.
Use DuSt-Proof Bag.
1t Is a smart idea to use dust
and moth-proof bag and frame for
the foundation of the garment bag.
They will hang better and be doubly
sure to keep dresses safe and spic
and span. For the usual SIT, g.
inch length you will need 42s yards
OF 36-inch material. The cover for
this bag Is actually slip cover
which has to be measured according
to the size and shape OF the bag.
After that the finishing is all fun.
You may use a contrasting colored
cording which will 60 on neatly

machine. The cording is set be-
tween the two pieces of material
and the cording foot holds 1t firmly

Property Owners
Halt Decentralization
By Decisive Action
Oakland Gets Results
With Active Campaign
And Ample Funds

The United action by property
owners can halt and even bring
about a reversal of the decentrali-
zation movement of business ten
ants from downtown areas, the
Architectural Forum magazine re-
ports in it's March issue.
Citing the success of the Down.
town Property Owners Association
of Oakland, Calf, as an example
of what can be done to bring buSi-
ness back to it's former locations,
magazine declares this organization
has written a case history worth
study by every other city in the
United States"
Weakened by depression, prac-
tically every community in the
country has been attacked by the
infectious decentralization germ" "
the Architectural Forum points out.
Immediate symptoms are an ac-
celebrating centrifugal swing Of the
population away from long estab-
lished residential sections and a
similar movement of commercial en-
terprise from the community center.
Secondary symptoms are nagging
aches in the heads of municipal
officials, property owners and COM
mercial realtors.
Early in the depression urban
decentralization hit. Oakland with
a bang and with the usual symptoms.
However, before the downtown busi-
ness district had wilted beyond the
possibility of revival, the Downtown
Property Owners Associations was
organized with war chest of $780,
900 to combat the plague.
"a Buildings Remodeled.
To-day, due largely to the ener-
getic activities of this association,
"a once forbidding buildings have
been effectively remodeled to at
tract attention and business: as
SesSed valuations on D. P. o. A.
members properties have been al
most halved as an aid to moderniza-
ton; $500 per $1,000 of valuation
have been Topped off of the city
and county tax rate; local business
relations have been put on an ami
cable basis-small merchants who
once called their landloard bad
names now call them by their first
names; six parking lots have been
acquired and operated by the asso-
citation to attract shoppers and thin
out traffic jams; finally, a whirl-
wind promotional and advertising
program has refocused local atten-
ton on downtown Oakland and
has brought new business tenants.
'Modernization, while no more i'm
portant than some other associa-
| ton activities, has produced the
most readily apparent results, is
therefore the show window for the
entire program" the Architectural
| Forum explains.
Success of the modernization
program is attributable also in large
measure to the associations drive
for fairer tax assessments which
