1t Runs Through
My Mind
In the Year 1908
BY POLLY J. HANST

In the Year 1908
In changing the frame Of an old
mirror the other day we found it
backed up with a Philadelphia In
quirer dated Jan. II, 19O8.-The
Woman's Magazine section and the
funnies.
How women have changed! Not
in thought or desire, but in looks
and sometimes philosophy. Every
face was as round as a full moon,
on top Of which was enough hair to
fill mattress. Her neck was short
and thick just what we look for
in a good breed of Hereford cattle.
Her silhouette was away out in
front although noticed an article
on THE Feminine Form" which
says that when artists draw the
female form in the nude or in
flowing draperies he reverts to
the long-legged classical type"
ION the other hand in a paint
ing representing women in modern
clothing she is by the same artist
represented as the modern narrow
wasted, short-legged, big-hipped
type"
Couldn't we find an artist to-
day that would represent us thin
ly? Then some of us who never
were in style would be the style!
Maybe we were born forty years
too late.)

THE HULA COMES TO WASHINGTON

DROPPING In on the Ar
~ lington County Recrea-
tional Center on a Tuesday
afternoon, a visitor may be
taken aback to see a group
of misses and matrons, bare
footed and In sarongs, going
through the intricacies of
Hawaii'S native dance, under
the tutelage Of Mrs. Barbara
Earle, hula instructor.
Evening star., 1954-01-03

This is a convenient ar
rangement, because If you do
not wish your family and
friends to know you have
always had a suppressed de-
sire to do the hula, you can
say you signed up for the
swimming lessons.
Mrs. Earle's first hula
classes In the Washington
area started as an experiment
last February in the Arling-
ton Center. Since then, the
number Of her pupils has
increased from IL to more
than 30, including the SO who
registered at the Y's opening
classes in October. Their ages
range from 5 to 5O.-
Among her students Is Mrs.
Frances Fletcher. who taught
school In Hawaii for two
years., but never got around
to learning to do the hula
until she learned about the
classes in Arlington.
Some pupils, such as Mrs.
Dorothy Calhoun and daugh-
ter Laura, who also formerly
lived in Honolulu and took
hula instructions there, are
taking advanced lessons from
Mrs. Earle for sentimental
reasons and to keep their
hands in, so to speak.
One Of Mrs. Earle's most
promising students Is q grand
mother. who wishes to re-
main anonymous because her
hula lessons still are a deep,
dark secret from her husband.
His idea Of the hula must be
the carnival and vaudeville
version. not the lovely. grace
full steps and gestures Of the
true Hawaiian dance.
The original hula was the
opera of ancient Hawaii. The
accompanying chants told Of
legends, history, travel and
love. Much Of the history Of

Tom Jones bought a 40-acre tract

Two years later, in 1899, a high
flood changed the channel of Smith
Creek about 200 feet to the south of
its original position Jones cleared
this area of debris and pastured his
cattle there
In 1850, his neighbor to the south
told him to get off the 2OO-foot

ownership of he land in dispute.
Jones claimed he had right to
the land since his deed described
the boundary as the center line OF
the channel of Smith Creek His
neighbor to the south told the court
that Jones was a mere squatter to
the land and had no right to be
there
The court agreed with Jones.
Since Jones had been in possession
more than 10 years and had used
the land for pasture, he was decla-

nothing to deny him access to the

Detailed Housing Program Bill Awaited

President Eisenhower's advis-
ers are working overtime this
week end whipping into definite
legislative terms the recommen-
dations embodied In his recent
housing message to Congress
conveying q clear intent Of the
Government to stimulate more
private. responsibility In the
housing field.
While pros and cons Of re-
action have been voiced in and
out Of Congress. opinion gener-
ally was being withheld during
this period Of waiting until the
administration bill is submitted
in detail. This viii be early next
week.
There will be ample time for
opinion to crystalline. House
Banking Chairman Wolcott, Re-
publican of Michigan. announced
his committee would not start
hearings until around March l.
Interested organizations already
are sending word to members
that there will be no rush in
reporting out housing legislation
and in the meanwhile propon-
entS and opponents are girding.
themselves for the Forthcoming
hearings.
Criticized as Too Short.
Some Democrats in Congress
criticized the President for pro-
posing an experimental" public
housing program "far short" Of
what was supported by the late
Senator Taft. Some Republic
cans. even. suggested that he was
asking too much in proposing to
build $4,000 public housing units
q year for four years.
Democratic critics pointed to
higher figures in the Housing
Act OF 1949 in voicing the belief
that the President was not going
far enough. That same thought
prevails in certain Government
housing circles in the belief that
$4,000 units yearly is a mere
token gesture to the actual public
housing needs of great cities.
Government to Lead.
While stressing less reliance on
housing programs requiring Fed
eral funds. he made it plain
however. that the Government
must continue aggressive and
positive leadership" in the hous-
ing field. It can provide this
leadership and still reduce its

urban rehabilitation he Is ex-
pected to comment on Gen.
Eisenhower's message In general
and particularly In reference to
public housing, mortgage terms
and the rehousing Of persons
displaced from slum areas.
Controversial Loans
Reaction indicates there will
be little serious quarrel with
Gen. Eisenhower's broad aims
to shift emphasis from Govern
ment to private endeavor. Some
controversy is expected to center
on the ''long-term loans Of
modest amounts with low ini-
tial payments, on both new and
existing dwellings for low-in-
come families"
Probably the most confusing
phase Of the Presidents pro-
posals. at this stage, deals with
his suggestion that the Federal
