SECOND CHORUS
IS FEATURE AT
10Th CENTURY
Fred Astaire and PauIette
Goddard Star in Cur
rent Attraction

AS if in answer TO a jitterbug's
prayer, Fred Astaire, America 8
most popular dancing favorite, has
created new dance.
The new routine is danced by
Astaire and his new screen dane
ing partner. Paulette Goddard, in
the new Paramount picture, Sec
ond Chorus" which is playing at
the Goth Century Theatre, featur-
ing Artie Shaw and his band, Bur-
CESS Meredith and Charles Butter
worth.
Astaire fashioned the dance
which is called the dig It," after
a song written by Johnny Mercer
IT Amt Hep to That Step But III
Dig IT, one of the hit tunes of
the new screen entertainment.
While in reality it is gay
simple dance. its steps give the
impression of being Spectacular.
But Astaire SO devised the dance
that it can be done even on small
er dance floors, with only a bit CT
modification for the more con-
iservative dance enthusiasts.
For the incorrigible jitterbug, the
dance, which has alreayd begun TO
invade the nations dance halls,
should be sensation. In the pic
ture, Astaire and Miss Goddard go
through the routine with easy
grace, but the confirmed rug-cut-
ter will probably add the violence
Of movement characteristic of their
gyrations.

Educator Describes Progress
Of British Nursery Schools

With the burden of English indus
trial production increasingly falling
on married women, the British have
had to devise four types of day
time care for children, an English
educator said here last week.
DR.. Evans Davies, superintendent
of the 80 schools in the Borough of
Willesden in London, who was sent
here by the British government last
April, as the guest of the United
States Office of Education, to study
American education and transmit
British experiences, said he had noted
the discussions here of after school
care for older children and nursery
schools for those under 5.
DR.. Davies commented that Eng
lish children of school age now are
often kept at school for study and
supervised play from 6 or 7 am.
until 7 o'clock at night. They are
given breakfast, lunch and supper
in the building, he said.
Three types of care are provided
for children under 5. Some mothers
have organized private groups, where
six mothers work and the seventh
takes care of all the children. A
second type of care is the nursery

gram built on adolescent require

community planning. The work of
the school and the home on all
health problems should represent a
hook-and-eye relationship.
Nutrition Committee.
The nutrition committee set up
last year by the Board of Education
to make a study of school children
in the District, the milk program,
cafeterias, school lunches and
courses of instruction developed

participation.
The adult homemaking program,

nutrition councils in many of the
schools and parent-teacher groups
were effective in improving food
habits and school lunch facilities,
particularly in the elementary
school. The hundreds of mothers
who were members of nutrition
study groups last year will be of
great service to the school COM
munity program planned this year.
The Committee on Food Habits OF
the National Research Council has
been charged with the responsibility
of establishing nutritional standards
for the national nutrition program
and of mobilizing anthropoligical
and psychological insights as they
bear upon the whole problem OF

use of a production line technique

dustrial instructor and five student
helpers. They turned out an aver
age of nine rifles a day.
A realistic effect was achieved by
cutting the gun to exact size and
model, The main body of the gun
was stained dark brown, and the
gun sight, muzzle and shoulder strap
holder emphasized with black paint
and lacquer.
Springfields Recalled.
These 1000 plus TOO more wooden
guns made at Armstrong and Phelps,
will replace almost 1900 80 caliber
SpringfieldS, model 1908, which the
cadets shipped this summer to the
Raritan Arsenal in Metuchen. N. j.
On loan from the War Department
since 1921, the rifles were recalled
last spring but were not packed for
shipment until after the cadet drills
had been held in June.
The Springfield is the third type
of rifle used by the Washington
Cadet Corps since it was estab-
llshed in 1882. The boys carried no
rifles at all until 1891, when they
were supplied with an old style mill
tary rifle known as the .45-caliber
Springfield.
This antiquated weapon" said
1t. Carl Trometre, veteran assistant
in cadet administration, was super
seded in 1908 by the Krag -Jorgen-
son rifle, caliber 80, 1885,"
Wooden Guns Weigh Pounds.
Though in use only IA years when
the United States entered the World
War in 1917, the Krag- -Jorgensons
already were outmoded and useless
for Army drill So the cadets kept
on using them through the war
years and up to 1921, when the War
Department issued the 80 caliber
Springfield to the entire corps.
The wooden guns weigh slightly
more than three pounds, in con-
trast to the Springfield's eight
pound heft. Costing about a dollar
each, they will be paid for by each
high school according to the num-
ber ordered. The largest shipments,
300 rifles each, were made to Nc

those communities where extensive
housing developments are taking
place.
1t is almost alarming to certain
city officials when it is announced,
for instance, that 1000 dormltorles
and TOO family units are to be
erected on the Mclean tract, that
a $5,0O00O0 housing project is to
begin on Livingston road, that TOO
home units are under construction
in the Benning- -KenilWorth area,
that the Alley Dwelling Authority
now has projects comprising total
of 1899 houses either under con-
struction or to be started soon.
Increased Enrollments.
When these thousands of new
homes are occupied the tenants will
have moved from some other part of
the city or will be newcomers re-
Gently arrived in the District. They
have been arriving in large numbers
for more than two years. Unat-
tached as far as families are con-
cerned, many of them, however, are
unmarried war workers.
These changes present puzzling
problems for school officers in their
planning for the opening of the
schools this year. We know that
many families have moved with
their children from homes in the
older sections of the city into new
homes offering more modern sani-
tary conditions. We do not know
whether or not the old homes will
be occupied by families having
children of school age. Hence it is
inevitable that certain schools in
the older section of the city will
have less pupils next year and that
schools in the areas affected by new
housing will have increased enroll
ments.
School officers do not know how
many children of school age from
out-of- town have come with their
parents into new housing units.

Jefferson Junior High Plans
Part in Southwest War Effort

Thomas jefferson Memorial Junior
High School at Seventh and H
streets S.W., again is preparing TO do
its bit for the war effort in its COM
munity
The school is the center of the
Southwest section and as the hub
around which community life re-
wolves has planned its part in the
war to cover all phases of neighbor-
hood activity.
Activities will include, in brief, CO.
operation with the Southwest Health
Clinic, the Southwestern Branch of
the Public Library, which occupies a
wing of the school building, and the
Southwest Recreation Area, which
includes Fairgrounds at the school
and in various parts OF the COM
munity.

Ing the other city schools for many
months and finishing in third place.
This year Principal Hugh Stewart
Smith said the students will collect
vSSte rags, metal and rubber.
Evening star., 1942-09-13

The students will begin their drive,
he said, by presenting to the salvage
campaign the metal plate bearing
the name of jefferson, which was
placed above the doors of the old
Jefferson School Building when it
was erected in 1872.
The name plate was removed from
the old building when it was razed,
Mr.. Smith said, and taken to the
new school. 1t will now serve Uncle
Sam. he said.
Describing sanitation as one of the
great problems facing a city crowded
TO capacity with war workers, Mr.
Smith said an intensive program was
being planned by the school, in CO.
operation with the Southwestern
Health Clinic.
Although no definite action thus
far has been outlined, Mr.. Smith
said that jefferson students, aided
by school health officials and heads
of the Southwestern Health Clinic
will work to combat unsanitary con-
ditions which threaten the city and
which, If allowed to progress un-
checked. might lead to epidemics.
In addition, physical examinations

babies of few months up to years
of age, is called wartime nur-
sery."
Halliday Shifts Initiated.
With young single women going
into military service, DR.. Davies said,
the English manufacturer has had
to lean heavily on married women.
However, even with nursery schools
and the daytime care of school-age
children, it has been discovered that
the woman with home and chill
dren can efficiently perform only
half days work. Factories have
resorted, he said, to hiring two
women to do the work of one. Shifts
run from am. to pm. and / pm.
to pm.
DR. Davies, who helped direct
evacuation of 1000 children from
the British capital when war was
declared, when France fell, and
again when the bombing of London
began, said his conclusion has been:
Evacuation should never be re-
sorted to except in extreme danger.
