CTEENS DD » ONMALGESSFORD South Washington Associa- tion Splits Over Request to Continue in Office. ‘Woman members of South Washing- ton Citisens' Association were last night in attendance at a meeting of the Association, held in Jefferson School, for the first time in the history of the association. M. J. Driscoll, chairman ©of the committee on membership, pre- sented the names of seventy-five ap- plicants for membership and their election resulted. g Unanimous indorsement was given the police administration of Maj. Har- Ty L. Gessford, superintendent of po- dice. Dr. Millard F. Thompson, who presented the resolution, wanted the association to request that Maj. Gess- ford be continued in office, saying the police chief is merely suffering from a temporary nervous breakdown. “Maj. Gessford was practically born in the police department.” said Dr. ‘Thompson, “and has been there fully forty vears. He is a conscientious and upright man, and if he retires he ‘xihould be commended for what he has one.” Object to Request. Objection to the request to continue Maj. Gessford in office was voiced by several members of the association, among them being H. A. Renz, Martin Wiegand and C. R. McCoy. They spoke Lighly of the superintendent, but un- der the circumstances, they stated. they thought it improper to request his_continuance in office. ‘Thomas P. Brown spoke in favor of the resgiution. Maj. Gessford has had years of experience in the police serv- ice, he pointed out. and nothing was ever said against him until he became chief of police. Mr. Brown presented a resolution asking for the approval of the action of the District Commissioners in se- lecting the site for the tubercular «hool, and Mr. Renz suggested that copies of the resolution be sent to the District Commissioners and superin- tendent of ine public schools. After some debate George S. Fraser suggested that the resolution be tabled, and his motion prevailed. The association went on record as favoring the Dyer bill, providing one- lialf street car fare for school children, «_request for such action having been received from J. C. Wright. A com- munication from George F. Bowerman, superintendent of Public Library, ex- plaining children’s book week was read and placed on the records. Several communications from com- mittees of the Federation of Citizens’ j Associations were read, one from the | woman’s educational committee asking the appointment of a delegate to thai | committee. President George M. Yeat- { man appointed Mrs. George S. Fraser. A communication asking for informa- tion as to the territory covered by the association was read, the information being wanted for use in the preparation of a map showing the territory covered by the various associations. The sec- retary was instructed to reply that the association covers the entire southwest section, having no opposition.

Mr. Cortissos called attention to the| fact that the primitive painters mod- | eled the heads of their sitters in a sculpturesque manner, making them appear to stand out in the round from the canvas, and also that later great portrait painters employed line with equally impressive effect. He explained that the various painters employed idiom in art, as writers employed it in literature, and : gave his listeners a number of. “touchstones” to use hereafter to measure merit. The lecture was ex- ceedingly instructive, and the illus- trations were not only good, but un- usual and extremely well chosen. l Ele—[o[—=c]—o]c——]c| ‘This was the first in a series of lec- tures on great palnters which Mr, Cortisspz is to give here this win- ter under the auspices of the Wash- | ington Soclety of the Fine Arts.
