Adelbert w Lee. one Of the Randle

egates to the Federation. got into
civic work in reverse order-he was
made chairman of a committee
before he was member OF the
association.
He was named chairman Of the
Parks and Playground Committee
in a cart-before- -the-horse process
in recognition of his testimony on
land condemnation proceedings in
court and his work for parks in
the neighborhood.
From that time on he rose rapidly.
becoming president the following
year, 1888. Work in the association
got in his blood" as he expressed
it in an interview. struck him as an
attractive hobby" and so he got in
it with both feet"
The association at present, he
said, is concerned over the action
of the Commissioners in extending
the construction period for six
months of the new Stephan Kramer
Junior High School, which has been
delayed by priorities. They are now
requesting a hearing before the city
heads.
Anacostia School Crowded.
Mr.. Lee pointed out that the pres
ent Anacostia school, which is a
combination junior-senior school,
now has 1913 students, over 900
more than was originally intended.
In February the enrolment. he
argued. would be increased by
another 200, although they are "all
but hanging kids on the electric
fixtures"
Mr.. Lee said he understood that
the restaurant was being used be-
tween meals as classroom and
that some OF the shops had been
abandoned. He expressed fear that
children in the AREA will get short
order of education which is not fair
to them"

are several reminders Of one Of
the big battles Of the association
the one for the John Philip Sousa
Bridge. The reminders are two
pictures. one of which shows his
daughter clipping the ribbon when
the bridge was opened and the other
which shows the Southeast victory
dinner in the spring Of 1888 when
the appropriation for the bridge
had been secured.
Mr.. Lees hobby of taking mo-
ton pictures-he has reason to be-
lieve-played a part in getting that
appropriation. He took pictures of
the old bridge and finally managed
to get the House Appropriations
Committee to view them.
Object to Taxi Rates.
The citizens Of the area, he said,
are dissatisfied with the present
zoning OF taxicab rates in the
Southeast section. It was originally
zoned. he contended. when the area
was sparsely settled, but has not
been rezoned now that the section
has grown. The result, Mr.. Lee said,
was that it worked hardship, with
the rates too high and unequal"
with other sections of the city. Also
in the line of transportation, the
citizens of Randle Highlands would
like to have re-routing and closer
schedules of operation Of buses to
imprOye service.
Still another concern of the area
is sewage, Mr.. Lee said, with some

ties. The Randle Highlands group

Beauty Case
Is Compact
And Light
BY DONNA GRACE

WHEN THE temperature is
high, cologne instead of perfume
is favored. Lovely bath powders
are not quite enough for the fas-
tidious ones.
There is also the exquisite oils
and salts for the popular foam
baths. One of these comes in
aquamarine blue that makes
sparkling, heavenly pillows. 1t
not only scents the whole room
but the dry powder is so de-
lightful you can place II in
among the dainty lingerie in
place Of sachets.
YOU WILL be agreeably sur
prised with the new, small
beauty case introduced recently
by a well-known cosmetic firm.
1t comes in imitation alligator
and contains everything for
either the simple daily needs 10
the most exotic makeup items.
There is even a bottle of eye
wash and two shades of powder,
One Of the best features is
the lightness and compactneSs
of the case. There are creams.

and the whole box fits in any
= well-packed suitcase. 1t is per-
feet for the business girls desk.
ONE OF the most refreshing
new Mosques we have found is
a cream Of the finest texture
and perfumed with a faint ben
zoine and bouquet aroma.
It is spread on the face. neck
and arms and left for five min
utes. There is no cloying sweet
ness about il but a cool, clean
aroma that leaves the skin
smooth and white.
AN OLD ENGLISH cosmetic
firm assures us they can supply
all we need OF their complete
makeup. soaps and bath pow
ders. Among their perfumes
are two OF the most exquisite
scents ever imported.
They now have the same
aroma in toilet water and bath
requisites. They also have a
fine English lavender line.
SOFT LIPSTICKS may be
nice when the frost Is in the
air but we need the firmer. more
lasting kind for warm weather
makeup. There are two in the
new shades that are just the
right consistency for good clean
lining; one blue-red tone that
goes with everything, the other
