That heartfelt advice is the pass
word at one Of the least exclusive,
best attended clubs in Arlington
County-a Clarendon supermarket
where almost 100 determined house,
wives and an occasional distracted
male meet daily. It Is the same
kind of club that meets in almost
every store in the District area every
day. They call themselves the GOA
Grocery Store Acquaintances) or
the Old Wives Convention and the
purpose is to get meat-if 1t takes
all day.
Eight thirty O'Clock, the stores
opening time, is not too early to pick
up counter number. The fact that
the meat truck doesn't arrive until
10 o'clock and meat won't be in the
cases for another half hour Is en-
tirely unimportant. Priority Is what
matters-along with q seat on the

Tear gas, for use in holdup, was
accidently released shortly before
noon today in the City Bank, 1908
Georgia avenue NV, forcing II
employees and some customers in the
structure to flee to the street.
Business was suspended for little
more than an hour while firemen,
wearing gas masks, entered the
building and turned off the gas.
They borrowed electric fans from
neighboring merchants to clear the
fumes from the building.
E. T. Elgin, manager of the bank,
said 1t was possible that an employe

Fire Department officials, trailed
by dozens of kibitzers, went inside

VIVA with working to defeat the ef-
forts Of private industry to carry on

Community Chest officials pointed
out that despite the charges leveled
against the VITA last year, it had
again been allocated funds. They
said the question of the groups
membership in 1916 will be taken up
again this month.
The VIVA was incorporated in
1885 to push legislation for removal
