she looks extremely attractive in
it. She's small and slim with big
brown eyes and black hair that is
beginning to gray at the temples.
When she isn't wearing her uni
form she wears a great deal Of
black and also bright blue. Some
times she combines the two. Her
clothes are simple and we'll cut
and she knows how to wear them.
Born in Rosemont, Pa, the
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Thorpe, she attended the Brearly
School in New York, Miss Walk

Bryn MaWr College. So her
background is a happy combina-

Heirloom Day
Exhibit Held
In Chevy Chase
Display Of antiques
Is Sponsored BY
Gibbs Art Section
BY Gretchen Smith.

Memories Of be-gone days were
recalled at the Womans Club Of
Chevy Chase yesterday when the
art section sponsored an heirloom
day" featuring an exhibit of an
tiques which had been in the fami-
lies of various members for many
decades.
After the items had been exam
Ined, individual exhibitors were in
vited to give brief histories Of the
articles contributed, with Mrs. Miles
c. TroWbridge, the art chairman,
making the introductions.
Mrs Clarence E. Dawson. who
brought variety of heirlooms in
cluding chinaware, jeWeny and old
lace, showed a lovely old daguerreo-
type Of her grandmother which had
been made for her mother many
years ago when she was leaving her
boarding school. Mrs. Dawson also
displayed rare old rose point lace
which had belonged to her grand
mother over 100 years ago. and an
engraving Of the White House made
by Henry Stone in 1920 and later
presented to her brother by a friend
of the artist.
A quaint little volume Of old
French sermons shown by Mrs. Al
! bert Merz proved to be half book
and half boXlike receptacle when
| opened. The volume, bearing a
French publishers date of 1870,
had apparently had halt its leaves
removed at some early date to form
! the COntainer.
One of the most colorful stories
was told by Mrs. Ida Lueck, whose
/ principal heirloom, an old English
watch, had been purchased by her
! grandfather, Stephen Cooper, in
/ 1898. The watch was later presented
/ to her father, Capt. James Cooper
a sea captain, who took the watch
/ around the world It was in his
! possession when he was shipwrecked
/ off the coast Of Africa in 1856 When
/ he finally made his way back to
/ America three years later, the watch
! needed repair. 1t was necessary
! to send it back to England for the
needed parts, Mrs. Lueck explained
/ Other exhibits included some rare
/ old Cody books and Christmas cards
/ shown by Mrs. Trowbridge: an ap-
pliqued quilt displayed by Mrs. Felix
/ Stapleton. in which over 1000 yards
Of quilting had been used; a tiny
/ sunshade which had belonged to
Mrs Stapleton's -great-grand-
mother, a lovely old French Empire
bowl over 125 years old, shown by
/ Mrs. Hewitt c. Robertson and a
/ quaint pen drawing which had been
awarded to the mother of Mrs. Cor
don B. Canega, the exhibitor over a
half century ago. Mrs. Canega eX-
| planned that the drawing had been
! given to her mother as young
! girl for having made the greatest
Improvement in her writing while
at school in Western Pennsylvania
Mrs. Henry De Coursey Adams
| president Of the club, exhibited an
old shawl which had been brought
/ by her grandmother from Ireland
During the tea hour which fol-
/ lowed the program the French bowl
was used as a centerpiece on the
/ table and tea was served from an
ancient pot Of old repousse silver.

S5,0O0,0O0 Loan Urged
For SIum Clearance Here

The Advisory Committee of the
War Housing Center yesterday
adopted resolution asking that
s5,000000 be made available now to
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority as loan ito acquire and
demolish unfit and insanitary dwell
ings and to erect proper dwellings
for occupancy by low income fam
lilies"
Such new dwellings, it was speci-
fed, should equal in number those
which are displaced, irrespective
of whether these families are war
workers" The proposal carried the
limitation, however, that 1t was to
be carried out provided that critical
materials can be made available
without impeding the war effort"
Declaring that dwellings oc-
cupied by the low-income popula-
ton of the District, especially the
low-income Negro population, are
dangerously overcrowded," the reso-
luton urged that the ALLEGATION OF
funds be made to safeguard the
public health during the war emer-
gency."
Referring to recent Investigations
the resolution said many of these
dwellings are unfit for human hab-
itation," and constitute a hazard
to our war effort"
The War Housing Center re-
ports" it stated, that only foul
privately owned dwellings are now
available even for essential Negro
war workers" 1t recalled that all
new dwellings are now restricted not
only to war workers, but even more
narrowly to immigrant war workers

PIeasure-Driving Ban
Enforcement Method
Hit by Businessmen
Businessmen's Federation
Wants Letters to Go
To All Suspects

The Federation OF Business Mems
Associations last night registered a
protest against instances of enforce
ment used by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration in the pleasure driving
ban.
Louis Prick, said some business
men, finding it necessary to use their
cars to transact business, have been
suspected OF violating the law and
forced to appear before rationing
boards for examination.
Mr.. Frick said it was a great
waste of time and inconvenience in
some cases for suspected offenders
to appear before boards for investi-
cation" and argued that such action
was entirely against our whole sys-
tenn of jurisprudence.
Though a specific case was
cited by Mr.. Frick. the present
OPA pleasure-driving enforce
ment plan calls for a letter to be
sent to every suspected violator,
asking for an explanation by
mail If this explanation is un-
satisfactory. the suspect is then
called before the board in per-
son.
The District delegate bill of Rep
rescntative Walter, Democrat, OF
Pennsylvania, was indorsed. The
motion to support the bill, now be-
fore the House Judiciary Committee
was made by Estes Brand.
The association also approved
recommendations seeking reduction
in price of the weekly passes and
cut in straight fares of the Capita,
Transit Co. Since the company has
cut down some services. a reduction
in fares was justified, it was said
On Mr.. Frick's motion the transit
company was requested to increase
its bus service on the outskirts of
the city from one bus every 40 min
utes to one every 30 minutes during
of hours
The businessmen indorsed the re-
cent action of the District Bar AS
sociation in recommending three
men for the vacany caused by the
resignation of Fred M. Vinson from
the District Court of Appeals.
The federation, which met at the
MayfioWer Hotel, adjourned for the
summer.
