An auxiliary to the Home, spon-
soring the linen shower is one of
the annual events of the organi-
cation by means of which linens
are obtained to supplement needs
of River Garden. With the COM
pletion of the new infirmary this
summer, the need for more bed
linens, especially sheets, will be
greatly increased and it is expect
ed that this supply will be full
filled through the linen shower
donations. Other linens II c h as
towels, both face and bath; pillow
cases, blankets and other items
make welcome additions to the
linen closet needs.

Of Sharper CinemoScope

Today's demonstration strips,

shown on 35. Reducing the pic

Of the "graininess" which in
evitably accompanies photo

Reducing the SIS reels to IS
size also permits the exhibitor
to use his existing 35-millimeter

Twentieth Century-Fox poured
several million dollars into new
cameras, special equipment and
conversion of its laboratory and
projection rooms, all to perfect
the SIS technique.

One can almost detect an

Fifty-four years ago he
Joined the Navy as an appren-
tice boy and learned to handle
sail on the frigate U.S.S. Con-
stellation. Now he is serving a

The museum, at 1910 H
street NV. occupies the old
carriage house next door to
the slave quarters of the
Stephen Decatur mansion.
Since opening six years ago,
it has amasSed an enviable
naval collection, but few
Washington landlubbers are
aware of its existence.
Most of our visitors are
from out of town." Mr.. Heine-
man said, pointing to the daily
log which showed that since
May IL, 1850, 139, 800 had called
to see items ranging from an
iron spike and a red glass COB
let from the old U.S.S. Kear-
sarge down to a model of the

it's because we're listed in the

there, the question goes to the

Not all of the questions deal
