CTZENSNSLTED ASSOGIATIONTOLD Benning Group Ridiculed in Highway Office, Mem- bers Say. - Declaring that members of the Ben- ning highways committee had been called unmentionable names and that they had been highly insulted and ridiculed by underlings in the office of Conway B. Hunt, engineer of high- ways, during the absence of the latter, Frank E. James, a member of the Benning committee, suggested to the Benning Citizen's Assoclation, at a meeting last night in Benning School, that they take their case direct to the Commissioners. A motion was made, however, by R. M. Darrow, and passed by the asso- clation, that the committee be in- structed to wait on C. B. Hunt, asking him to look into the matter of recin. dering the streets in Benning, and that if he gave them no satisfaction, the matter be taken up with the Com- missioners. ““All of us are home owners and tax- payers,” said L. Gordon, “and when our committee went to the Dis- trict Buildin it was treated as a joke. ‘We expect our men when calling the officlals of the Washington go ernment to be treated as gentlemen. nk E. James said that one of the men in the highway office, when asked about th ys in Benning, said “You them. There they are on . W. E. Balderson, pastor of the Christian Church on Minnesota avenue, 8ald: “I did not know that we had such subofficials in Washinton %0 small that they would insult any committee of any community calling on them. “It {8 easy to co-operate when things g0 your way, but when things go the other man’'s way, the citizen who can then co-operate shows what he is made of. “Conditions in Benning at present make it a liability to the city as a whole, rather than an asset. Let's co- operate to make it an asset.”” * A motion was made that a light be asked between the Benning School and the Episcopal Church on Minne- sota avenue. It was also moved that lights be urged on Ridge road. Mrs. 1. W. Vanderwerker and Mrs. Martha Taylor of the Parent-Teacher Association announced that there would be a dance at All-Saint's Parish Hal, February 19, the receipts to buy a moving picture machine for -the school. George H. James, president of the assoclation, presided. More moving pictures taken in this country are being sent to Latin Amer- ica than to Europe.

It's hard for people to believe the man who'd make their lot more fair: they think he's planning to deceive, that he's the fowler with his snare. I saw the people of the town In Sum- mer weather pant and shrink; I said, “I'll put a fountain down in yonder square so they may drink. And as they drink the sparkling julce they may have kindly thoughts for me; today they libcl and traduce, but then my motives they will see. They'll see I love my felow. men, their lives with gladness I would fill; they'll un- derstand my nature when that foun tain squirts, as soon it wil.” That fountain is a work of art, an orna- ment to this our town:; and weary pllgrims of the mart are glad to pour iuts waters down. Sometimes amid the throng I walk, about the fountain's granite rim, and as I hear their line of talk my heart is sad, my eyes grow dim. “Why did he blow him- self for this?” inquires an anclent, gray-haired dame; “I guess, but all my guesses miss—I cannot figure out his game. He says he loves the peo- ple, so he'd make them happy as he can: but all kuch stuff is bunk, you know—no fellow loves the other man.” “I reckon,” says a grouchy skate, “we’ll soon see samples of his worl he'll shortly be a candidate for coro- ner or county clerk. If any man spends fifty cents to cheer or stimu- late our souls, he’ll soon be calling on_us gents to rally round him at the polls.” Another says, “He is a flend for being always at the front, and of* I've wisted, oft I've weened it's all an advertising stunt.”” I've never heard a voter say, “By loving kind- ness he was led, and while these sparkling waters play may blessing rest upon his head.” WALT MASON. (Covyright. 1927.) ADVISES ROYALISTS. Throne Pretender in France Urges Religion Be Respected. PARIS, January 12 (®).—French Royalists should remain most respect- ful of religion and the church, the Duke of Guise, Orleans pretender to the French throne, writes to be Royalist paper L'Action Francaise, but they also ‘“should preserve, in politics, upon which depends the na- tion’s very life, the legitimate inde- pendence which the French monarchy always took pains to preservex’’ The letter, in the form of New Year greetings addressed to Charles Maurras, editor of the paper, does not mention the recent action;of the Pope in placing the publication on the church’s index of prohibited books. The pretender voices the hope, how- ever, that matters will soon be cleared up and that M. Maurras’ services to France and the church will be taken into account. L’Action Francaise came under the ban, Pope Plus’ decree said, because “of certain articles written and pub- lished recently.” URNITU R Lifetime Furniture. |/ to take, THE EVEN.

By the Associated Press, BRIDGEPORT, Conn., January 12. —New York “ought to be ashamed of itself” for allowing some of Broad- way's current theatrical offerings to run more than one night, in the opinion of Anne Nichols, playwright and_producer. s “Many of the plays now being shown,” ehe sald, “are presenting stuff as ‘life’ and ‘drama’ that if published in book form would send its author to jail.” Miss Nichols {8 author and pro- ducer of “Able’'s Irish Rose,” a comedy which tonight has its 2,000th performance in New York, an Amer- jcan theatrical record.
