Government Girl Finds New Self
After Charm School Re- -styIinq

Miss Drexel Bullivant started
out last night to find a new me"
and 80 minutes later ended up
feeling like somebody else"
After putting herself entirely in
the hands of specialists of a De-
troit cosmetic and beauty firm,
who are conducting job-groom-
ing course for Government girls,
Miss Bullivant, a 28-year-old
Coast Guard correspondence clerk,
noticed a definite increase in wolf
whistles and horn -honking after
ward on her way home.
So completely changed was
Cinderella Bullivant that man
she knew and met on the way to
her home at 1101 Fifteenth street
NV. thought he was getting a
knockout pickup" when she asked
him, How do I look?'
Il had to talk to her long
time before I realized what the
score was. Charles Williams. 2809

my goodness" and mo, 1t can't

Bullivant.
The one-and-a-half hours that
elapsed between her stage appear

been in the beauty parlor in more
than a year. My hair was so
awful. That's why think was

Miss Bullivant's hair was curly
and reshaped as she emerged
from 20 minutes under hair

of powder and lipstick were CIV
ing her face a certain glow. Her
blue rayon print scooped-out
dress was discarded along
with her pearls. In their place
was a dark green wool dress with
accessories in rust

Models briefed Miss Bullivant
on how to carry a glove so you
don't look like you're shaking
hands With yourself" and told her
to hold in her stomach and leyel
her shoulders.
To make sure she'll keep on
being a Cinderella, Miss Bullivant
bought the green wool dress that
brought her so many compliments
and whistles.

Demolition Cost;
Snags Plan TO
Raze Buildings
$2l,477 Is Low Bid
On Work Expected
To Be Done Free

An economic "about-face" in
the construction business has
delt the District Government an
unexpected blow in its plans for
razing five abandoned school
buildings and As other buildings
on proposed sites for school play
grounds, it was disclosed today.
Until now. the city's experience
has been that Wrecking contrac-
tors would pay for the privilege OF
tearing down buildings and sal
vaging the material, or at least
do it free of charge.
But when bids we're opened for
the latest demolition project Dis
trict officials admittedly received
a shock. Low bids on the job
called for the District to pay out
total of $21 ATT. No money had
been appropriated since the city
had expected to have the work
done for nothing.
NAVhSJ AoUAS"a hAASNS'
Paul Chalupsky of the District
auditors Office said that If any
of the bids are to be accepted the
city would have to figure out a
way to get the money-possibly
by using funds from other ap-
preparations.
AS recently as last April the
District was able to get II solid.
three-story brick buildings torn
down and extensive regarding
done for only $1,000. he said.
Mr.. Chalupsky said 1t is indi-
Gated that in the last six months
there has been a sharp decline
in the value of used building ma
terial, apparently in the face OF
an increased supply of new ma
terial. At the same time labor
costs appear to have risen, he
explained.
He said that. for example, it
now seems to cost more to clean
old brick than to buy new brick.
There was a time" he said.
when we would be paid $1,000
for the razing of a school build
ing"
Speed on Razing Important.
Oficials considered the posi-
bility of using appropriations ear
marked for acquisition of sites for
Fairgrounds, for erection of new
schools on some of the sites and
for development and improvement
of school Fairgrounds for the pur-
pose of paying for the demolition.
Mr.. Chalupsky explained that
it is important to get abandoned
school buildings razed as soon as
possible, since they tend to. be
a public nuisance. Not only does
the District frequently lose the
value of furnishings which are
stored or carried away. but the
empty buildings often present
safety hazards for neighborhood
children.
Old schools to be torn down are
the Smallwood Elementary, the
old Logan Elementary, the old
Wallach Elementary. the old
Tyler Elementary and the old
Brightwood Elementary School.

Il want to see if my roommate
will know me-and the crew at
the Office" she said.
Miss Bullivant said she was SO
happy she went home and put on
stockings and high heels and shed
her low-heeled models. because Il
had to wear my own shoes with
my new get-up. and it would have
lookedoterrible in f1atties."
This made Miss Edith Wann,
fashion co-ordinator for the Or
ganization. whose course here is
being sponsored by the Federal
Recreation Committee, very happy
too.
We're emphasizing getting
Government girls heels off the
ground, besides pinning up plung-
ing necklines and combating that
gooed-up. overdressed look in the
Office" Miss Wann said.
THE only trouble is the Gov
ernment girls who need our help
in this line are the ones who stay
home. The already dressed
conservatives are the ones who
show up

Road Channels to Speed Traffic on Parade Avenues De

The traffic pattern at Penn
sylvania and Constitution ave-
nues NV. is having It's face lifted.
1t is getting new curves, calcu-
lated to smooth out awkward
criss-cross lines and allow a bet
ter stretch for turning.
A $4,000 paving and widening
project is we'll under way in the
general area between Third and
Sixth streets on the two pa
rade" avenues. District High
way Department engineers say
the job probably will be finished
before September l.
Instead of crossing near the
center of the diagonal intersec-
ton, drivers will use two short 30
foot roadways now being cut
across triangular parks in front
of the National Gallery OF Art on
Constitution avenue and the site
of the new District Court build
ing on the north side OF Penn
sylvania avenue near Third street.
= Vehicles travelling west on Con-
stitution avenue and intending to
continue on that avenue at the art
gallery will move along Pennsyl-
yania in an inner lane and cross
at a cut-in stretch of pavement
through the west parkway.
Vehicles going east on Consti-
tuition avenue and planning to
continue that way will move along
avenue and cross
into Constitution avenue at a
similar cut-in through the park
way near Third street.
Paving of the cut-in across the
west parkway has been completed.
and work started today on the
other parkway cut-in. The south
side of Pennsylvania avenue. east
of Fourth street and Immediately
in front of the tennis court area,
is being widened nine feet. as Is
the north side of that avenue
west of John Marshall place.
The main benefit expected from
the new traffic channeling. engl-
neers explained. is that it will pro-
vide "a greater spread" for turn
and a larger "reser-
voir" for traffic by extending the
distance between turns at the
intersection.
This should relieve congestion
and increase traffic safeguards
by eliminating a potentially dan
gerous and comparatively narrow
crossing in the middle OF the
Pennsylvania Constitution inter-
section, they said.
