Members gf the Petworth Citizens’ Association last night voted unani- mously in favor of effective motion picture censorship in the District of Columbia and a committec of three was appointed by Joe L. Carr, presi- dent of the association, to attend the hearing before the District Commis- sioners ebruary 28 and urge such reform.

A resolution was in- troduced by Chairman George H. Marshall of the police and fire commit- tee asking that enforcement of the e rule be delayed until the citizens had | opportunity to study it further, as it | savored of militarism, but after some discussion, the association adopted a substitute resolution condemning the proposed regulation. A committee report opposing the | Temple Sunday observance bill for the strict of Columbia, now pending in Congress, was tabled indeflnitely. J. G. Yaden discussed at length the water situation in Washington. On his mo- tion the association voted to ask Con- gress to require the government to pay its proportionate cost of the water supply and to eliminate waste. PUBLIC IS GENEROUS IN RESPONSE TO Y. W. C. A. | Gratifying Responses Received as Result of Appeals Sent Out Through Mails. Evidence of sympathy both with the aims of the Young Women’s Chri tian Association and with the way in | which its present budget drive is being conducted is given by the early generous responses to the appeal sent out. Notwithstanding the fact that the appeals, limited to members and previous subscribers, were not put in the mails until Friday night and Saturday morning, gratifying re- sponses were received at headquarte 1333 F street. No public drive, with personal visits to busy offices and homes, is bei: held. Every member of the associ tion is asked to serve as a member of a special “finance committee of the whole,” pledging herself either to glve $5 or to bring in five new mem- bers as evidence of appreciation of the work the association is doing. In fact, members are senf postal cards, to be returned signed.” to the effect that it gives the recipient pleasure to accept appointment and that she will do her part toward making the “Y.

Of. the subscriptions sent in by former supporters, appealed to by mail to duplicate last year's gifts, or rather “investments,” only two have fallen below their 1920 amounts, and these by small sums only.

Extra large bottle, '61.00. Healing begins the moment Zemo is applied. In a short time usually every trace of eczema, tet- ter, pimples, rash, blackhcads and similar skin diseases will be re- moved. For clearing the skin and making it vigorously heunh{. always use Zemo, the penetrating, antiseptic liquid. It is not a greasy salve and it does not stain. When others fail it is the one dependable treatment for skin troubles of all kinds. In skin troubles, ordinary soaps are irritating and liable to aggra- vate the condition. Use Zemo soap. it is antiseptic, soothing, and hast- ens the process of healing. The E. W.
