DEMANDS CAPITAL PARKS COMPLETION Senator King Tells Commit- tee of 100 Cost Should Be Secondar_y Thought. Congress should draw a stern les son from past mistakes and proceed imimediately to completion of the Na- tional Capital's park system, “even if it costs $3,000.000," Senator King of Utah told the American Civic As. sociation's Washington committee of 100 last night at its fourth annual AMUSEMENTS RIALTO—Next Week. Ilouse Peters in “Combat,” is the photoplay attraction at the Rialto next ‘week, beginning Sunday. It is u typical out-of-doors story such as Peters favors, jammed with rapid action. Fights, a forest fire ana raging torrent pile up dramatic situ- ations in the life of a lumber jack who 18 hired to drive poachers out of the lumber territory. Through it is woven a pretty romance with Wanda Hawley in the leading feminime role. Others in the cast are Walter McGrall and C. E. Anderson. The Sunday concerts by the Rialto Symphony Orchestra, with an ensem- ble of 40, conducted by Mischa Guter- son, have been received with splendid acclaim and patron: and will be | continued each Sunday in the future, starting at 2 preceding the regu- lar performa The program next Sunday will be devoted to the com positions of the noted French music masters.

JAPAN TO CURB DANCES. Police to Restrict Foreign Steps, Called Demoralizing. TOKIO, March 26 P).—Owing to the pressure of business in the Diet, which i{s attempting to adjourn to- day, the bill introduced last week prohibiting the Western . style of dancing in cafes has not been en- acted. The police, however, say st will be to restrict forel dances in all public places.

It should fve of the best that is t should express our 1 ‘We are supreme commercially, and we ought to be supreme artistically and morally and spiritually. That is the vision of the Federal City of the future, and I regret that we did not have the wvision to begin its realization sooner.” Representdtive Gibson of Vermont, added to this his firn belief that Congress sincerely hopes to see cre- ated here, “along the banks of the old Potomac, the most beautiful city the world has ever known, expressing in its artistic Joveliness all that is best and most glorious in our Amer- fea.” But, Mr. Gibson cautioned, time and patience are two elements that must help realize that dream. Maj. U. S. Grant, 3d, director of public buildings and public parks, responded to the toast, “A Compre- hensive Plan for the National Capl- tal,” in the course of which he de- scribed how the present program had its inception. Maj. Grant de- clared it had been said the plans for the city beautiful here were copied from Paris, but the speaker asserted the program for the reconstruction of Paris was put into effect after L’Enfant’s plan for this city had been made and approved. Charles Moore described the McMil- lan report. Like Senator King, he deplored the lack of vision in pre- vious Congresses, which failed to buy at low prices that land that must be obtalned if the National Capital park- eystem is to be created. Much of the land toward the northern end of the city has already been lost, he sald, and he added that no time should be Jost now in acquiring what is left of the Piney Branch section. Dorado Taft, the moted sculptor, he diners to ‘‘make no lit- tle plans.” “Only momentous things,” he xaid, “gather great momentum.” Mr. Taft asserted that something of the spirit with which the people builded the great cathedrals of Eu- rope back in “the dark ages” is needed now to realize the dream of the daz- ziing city that the artists and men and women of vision have planned for Washington. John Barton Payune, the toastmas- . spoke on the “Homance of Wash- ington.” Other speakers included Dr. J. Horace McFarland, Charles F. Con- sul, Col. J. Franklin Bell, Engineer Commissioner of Washington; J. C. Nichols, James L. Greenleaf, A. B, Mc- Daniel and Horace W. Peaselee. The dinner was held at the home of the American Association of University Women, on I street. . ] . Misses’ Fashions In Friday’s Odd Groups!
