Dr. Starr Parsons, chairman of the committee on education, deplored the delay in the construction of Eastern High School. and suggested that a new Business High School might be erected on the Patterson tract 'f its construction would not jnterfere with the park plan. He doubted if it would interfere with the nlan, however, be- cause of the vast area of territory in | the tract. President Tucker presented a reso- lution favoring the nroject for the purchase of the Klingle, Piney branch and Patterson tracts for park pur- poses, saving he thought now is the time to make the vurchases. His res- olution received favorable action. A resolution presented by W. G. Lang favoring the rev of the Bo land amendment. asses<ing property owners for street improvements, was given @ unanimou.

SEEK MORE WOMEN FOR CIVIC AFFAIRS Meeting of Organizations to Urge Joining Citizens™ Associations. ery woman's organization in the social and fraternal, will be in- vited to send delegates to a meeting in the boardroom of the District building at & o'clock Saturday night, at which plans will be made to en- roll thousands of women in the neigh- borhood citizen associations. This was announced today by Mrs. Nannette B. Paul, chairman of the Woman's committee for registration week. to be staged by the Federated Citizens' Associations from October 22 to 31. More than fourteen citizens' asso- ciations sent representatives to a pre- liminary conference with Mrs. Paul at the District building last night,-at which it was decided to issue the call for all women's organizations to join hands in building up the civic bodies. It will be made clear to all club women that membership in a citi- zens' assoclation will in no way con- flict with their work in other organi- zations. “There is work for women to per- form_in the citizens' associations,” said Mrs. Paul, “to keep Washingt At ‘the Satuday night meeti, women expect to map out a thorough scheme for enrolling new members. They will endeavor to'divide the city according to the old voting precincts, with registration booths in each pre- cinct. They also will conduct a house- to-house canvass. It is the intention of Mrs. Paul to give the registration campaign as much of a political atmosphere as possible to impress upon men and women who are now inactive, that the citizens’ associations are the mouthpieces of public opinion in the residential sections of the city. —_— association went on record as favor- ing the purchase of property at Sth and E streets for playground pur- poses. Complaint also was made that wait- ing passengers at 13th and D streets northeast are required to stand in the rain until it is time for cars to start. Another complaint heard against the ailway company involved noises made by the unloading of rails at 13th and D streets northeast after midnight. Thirty Elected to Membership.

Harris, municipal architect of the District, on the work accomplished since the act including the emergency school building program became effective on June 16, the Piney Branch ‘Citizens' Association went on record as depre- cating “reckless and irresponsible at- tacks” against the Commissioners, the municipal architect and the board of education on account of alleged unnecessary delay in proceeding with that program, at a meeting held In the Towa Avenue M. E. Church last night. Following a detailed report by Clinton R. Thompson on the status of the building program, in which he enumerated progress made to date on all schools now in the course of erection, including plans fop com- pletion and dates on which adver- tisements on bids for construction appeared, and deprecated attacks on officlals for alleged delays, the as- sociation unanimously voted: Text of Resolution. “That the Piney Branch Citizens' Association urges all practicable speed in the construction of the school building program, but it dep- recates reckless and irresponsible at- tacks against the Commissioners, the municipal architect and the board of education on account of alleged un- necessary delay in proceeding with that program; that the progress made iby the municipal architect and his limited force, in the 116 days since the school appropriations were made, toward the erection of ten school buildings, costing $1,595,000, should be commended; and that in particu- lar, the postponed decision on a de- sign and site for the tuberculosis school has brought valuable informa- tion as to the proper plan for the building and avoided regrettable mis- takes in its location.” Edgar B. Henderson presided and presented Frank C. Daniel, principal lof the Technical High School, who appealed for support of the as- sociation in the movement to have erccted a new technical school. Mr. Daniel stressed the need of such a building, declaring that the present structure was inadequate to accom- modate the enrollment, and said that he was heartily in favor of having the school built on the tract owned by the government north of Taylor street and west of 14th street. School Site Voted. At the conclusion of Mr. Daniel's talk the association voted to urge| the inclusion in the District of Colum- bia budget for the fiscal vear end- ing June 30, 1923, of an item for the beginning of the, Technical High School, with recommendations that the proposed site be given consider- ation. Mrs. P. C. Adams, one of the two woman delegates to represent the as- sociation at the recent social hygiene convention, read a report on the find- | ings of that body, and received a vote of thanks. Mr. Thompson, chairman of the school committee, reported the prac- tical completion of the West School, and said that it would be ready for occupancy at once. Mr. Henderson announced that prizes for those conducting the best flower and vegetable gardens in the community would be presented a few days previous to the November meet- ing of the organization. The association voted to contribute 25 cents to the Federation of Citizens' Associations from each new member % P — 7 7, We Guarantee ADVICE TO .GIRLS TO LET PASTORS “SURVEY” GROOMS CAUSES STIR Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, October 11.—When Rev. Dr. David Hughes, pastor of . Abbott Memorial Presbyterian Church, advised all girls contem- plating matrimony to let their minister ~ “give the prospective husbands the ‘once over’ before marrying them,” he “reckoned without his host,” in so far as the majority of other Baltimore ~iinisters are concerned, accord- ing to opinions expressed by a number of the clergy yesterday. Dr. Hughes entreated the young women of his congregation, a way, to let him have a “once ove on any young men they might con- template marrying. “Some of them,” he said, “might need the twice ‘over, but’ at any rate, on no condition' did he want to have the young women of his church running off to Ellicott City, Elkridge, Virginia, or any other God-forsaken place to get mar- ried Rev. Dr. William H. Morgan or First Methodist Episcopal Church declared ministers have enough responsibility now with- out uming that of giving sweethearts of their young lady parishioners the “twice over,” or even the “once over,” as sug- gested by Dr. Hughes. “There’s not enough money in YOM KIPPUR OBSERVED BY ALL JEWS TODAY Starts at Sunset and Continues Un til Sunset Tomorrow Afternoon.

Dr. Henry Branch, secretary of the Baltimore Presbytery, promptly taking refuge in the Bible. “People in love are not going to consult anybody, and if a_couple is not in love they are not going to be happy anyway,” commented the Rev. Dr. Henry M. Wharton of the Baptist church. “Not on_your life” said the Rev. Dr. W. W. Barnes, onc of the superintendents of the West Balti- more district of the Methodist Episcopal Church, “No preacher would try that. The girls would not consent to it either.” ‘ When asked if he believed his suggestion could be worked out in a practical way the Rev. Dr. Hughes pointed out that he made the suggestion in connection with “runaway” couples and stated that he belleved many unhappy mar- riages could be avoided if girls, in- fatuated with a youth for the moment. would insist on introduc- ing her iover to her minister. “I contend that a girl should not sajd Dr. Hughes, “if sho is ashamed to bring her sweet- heart to her own minister or to introduce him to her parents.

TRAVELERS’ AID SOCIETY TO GPEN FUND CAMPAIGN Claims 50,000 People Were Bene- | ficiaries of Organization in Past i Fourteen Months. The Washington Travelers' Aid Society is to open a campaign for funds October 17 to 22, ending on the last day with a “Tag day” to be held throughout the city. Fifty-thousand travelers _ were atded at Union station during the past fourteen months by the so- clety. As a sample of the aid given, three children arrived at the station recently, expecting to find their fa- ther. 2| Through some misunderstanding, the children were not greeted by their a p h k less. Agents of the Travelers' Aid telegraphed to the father in Balti- more, who forwarded funds to pur- chase tickets for the children to that city. The work of the society is done without regard to age, race, color, creed, class or sex. and without fec or gratuity. The Twentieth Century Club this weck voted $10 to the so- ciety’s fund.

Overerowded conditions in the ele- mentary schools have forced school ! authorities to ereate twenty-two part- | time classes, it was announced today at the Franklin School, administra- tion headquarters of the school sys- tem. - Approximately 900 children, pupils in the third and fourth grades, who are in these classes, are rec instead of five hours of education to which they are entitled. These chil- dren are spending only about 70 per cent of the time in school which they should spend there. The greatest number of part-time classes is in the schools of the north- west_and subdivision sections. Oth- ers, however, are Congested Graded Schools. As a further indication of the con- gestion in the graded schools, offi- cials point out that there are many oversize classes and ‘that many class- rooms are belng used by two differ- ent classes. In most instances, in the latter cas use a rooni for a half a day, and the first grade pupils use it the other half. Opening of a new graded school and additions to several othgrs this year have resulted in the partitime classes being somewhat smaller in number than last year. When a survey of the graded school system was made last year it was found that there were twenty-eight part-time classes, or four more than this year. The crowded and other undesirable conditions in the school system will continue to exist for years, an official sald today. unless Congress appro- priates larger revenues for the school system than in the past. This official has just completed a study of the expense of operating and maintaining the school system and is convinced that but littie expansion can be un- dertaken until Congress sees fit to appropriations. past_years, it was pointed out, the schools have been allotted about 25 per cent of the total annual Dis- trict appropriation, which has amounted to approximately $7,000,000. The cost of operating the school kys- tem averages about $6.000,000 a year, leaving $1,000,000 for the construction of new buildings and making other improvements, With the enrollment in the schools ever increasing, and this vear at a particularly unexpected rate, the au- thorities contend that $1,000.000 a vear will not provide accommodations for the annual increase in registra- tion. Building Program Delayed. 1t has been shown by school au- thorities that the building program is far behind, and that a large appro- priation is necessary to catch up with it. First steps to obtain this were taken last year, when school officials sent to Congress a $5,000,000 emer- Klansmen, Marching Into Church, Declare Support of Pastor BLACKWELL, Okla., October 11~More than two hundred men wearing the rches of the Ku Klux Xlan filed through and, stopped 1 Rev.
