RESIDENT - FOR POLICE CHIEF lowa Circle Citizens Advo- cate Washington Man to Succeed Gessford. Appointment of a resident of Wash- ington with experience in police supervision as the superintendent of police to succeed Maj. Gessford, re- tired, was advocated in a resolution adopted last night by the Towa Circle Citizens' Association at a meeting in Northminster Presbyterian Church.

Another resolution was adopted urging that the lighting facilities of Towa Circle be improved and that the lighting plan for Rhode Island avenue, from Jowa Circle to 1Ist street, proposed several years ago, be Dut into effect as soon as possible.

Samuel Gompers has declined an invitation to address the public forum of the Church of the Ascension, New York, where, as president of the American Federation of Labor, bhe was asked to give a talk on “Labor's Struggles and Aspirations” during the month of January. In declining the {nvitation he wrote to Rev. Percy S. Grant, pastor of the church, as follows: Reflecting upon your invitation of November 23 to deliver an address lunder the auspices of the public forum of the Church of the Ascen- sion, there comes back to me the consistent course which you have pursued through your forum, a course antagonistic to the bona fide labor movement of our country. It seems to me that a departure from that course by an address from me would be a waste of your time and the time of others who may attend, in- cluding the undersigned. The old couplet applies to you and your forum, ‘Convince a man against his 1 will, he remains of the same opinion still,’ and so I am compelled to de- cliné youy, invitation.” —_— pealed for a broader system of ath- letic training in the schools. Safety Islands to Be Adopted. Announcement was made that a lcommittee of two had called upon “apt. A. J.

Capt. |Headley referred the committee to Assistant Engineer Commissioner Bes won. who notified them that plans had been drawn up for safety islands | for pedestrians on both the north and | south sides of the circle. In the | meantime, they Wwere assured, steps | would be taken to safeguard ped trians on the north side of the circle. $37.50—Not Just for a Suit, but for Guaranteed Suit Satisfaction For $37.50—every desirable pattern “you can think of.
