The curriculum planned for the college will be on a par with that of other out- standing colleges for girls.

Edwin F. Hill, publicity director for the Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone last night made public a summary of 'the most popular names of sub- scribers in the directory, but refrained from actually counting the number of Smiths, merely reporting: “Every one, no doubt, will agree as to the most numerous—Smith.” An actual count of the number of Smiths shows Mr, Hill is- correct, there being 1,091 Smiths in the city listings, exclusive of suburban sections. The names of Jones, Brown, Davis, Green, Harris, Williams, Wilson, White, Robinson and Anderson are plentiful, but not nearly so numerous as that of Smith, a study of the book shows. ‘The phone company is distributing about 160,000 copies of the directory in Greater Washington.

With its program in shape after a highly successful European tour last Summer, the Yale Glee Club, under the directorship of Morris Watkins, Colum- bia '24, is making final plans for its an- nual appearance in Washington, Decem- ber 22 at the Wardman Park Theater, as part of its regular American concert tour. The Summer’s tour carried the glee club into Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, France and England. The trip abroad was un- dertaken in the interests of Yale un- dergraduate music and in accordance with plans of the Intercollegiate Glee Club Council of the United States to promote friendship and understanding between the students of different na- tions, with the common language of music as the medium. According to the re] of the direc- tor, the appearance of the glee club was met with some reserve on th:hgan of the Europeans at first, but melted before the singers were hll( through the program of American col- lege and folk songs. In some cities they appeared before audiences made up of as many as 10,000 people. The foreign press was, on the whole, very generous in its praise of the quality and u:ehnu\m of the glee club’s work, the Stockh Svenska Dugeblad observing: *“Not very often has a concert been so generally noticed as the one at the Tiv- dli. The secret of the singers’ success may lie in their voice material and technique, but first and last in the spirit in which they sang, which swayed the audience.

Efforts to protect the Christmas greens in Washington and vicinity, u&echlly the ground pine and holly, nched again this season by the Wildflower Preservation Soclety, of which P. L. Ricker of the Department of Agriculture is president. The use of artificlal- wreaths to dis- place those made of holly and ground ine will be urged. Among the features of the campaign to urge the use of substitutes will be a number of substitute wreaths put into the schools. The nature study teachers of the grades below the eighth grade will present the matter to children, who will be expected to carry the message home to their parents. Mr. Ricker does not share the alarm of some persons that Christmas trees are going and should be saved. He feels, on the other hand, that Christ- mas greens contribute much to the holiday cheer and should be used with discrimination. * In this section, he explained, it is the holly and ground pine that should be spared. el e Gt L] American telephone subscribers since the extension of radio and ocean cable connections can talk with 25,000,000 ersons.

Wittner, who was dismissed from his position as clerk in the Traffic Bureau of the Metropolitan Police De- partment, by the District Commission- ers, December 4. This announcement was made yes- terday afternoon when John T. Doyle, secretary of the commission, sent a letter to Wittner. ‘Wittner has filed an appeal with the commission. The commission in its letter yesterday informed Wittner that it is without jurisdiction in the case. The letter reads as follows: “Receipt is acknowledged of your let- ter of December 7 relating to your re- moval from the position of senior clerk of the Metropolitan Police Department, and requesting the commission to re- view the findings of the officer making your removal. “In reply, you are advised that the commission is without jurisdiction to review the action of the removing offi- cer in affecting the removal of a municipal employe of the District of Columbia. Rule 12 of the civil service act, which you seek to evoke, is ap- plic:ble only to the Federal classificd service.” 1928—PART 1. UNDERHILL TO RESIGN FROM HOUSE DISTRICT COMMITTEE Massachusetts Representa- tive to Retire From Post at Close of Congress. Aided Mall Triangle Develop- ment and Workmen’s Com- pensation Measures. Representative Underhill, Republican of Massachusetts, one of the most active members of the House District com- mittee, will resign from the committee at the close of the present Congress, 50 as to be able to devote his labors more directly to matters of direct concern to his own district. Mr. Underhill fathered the Mall tri- angle development and the cleaning up of the unsightly conditions about the Capitol, making several important speeches on the subject and carrying on an effective campaign with the re- sult that this work to beautify the heart of the Capital is in progress. The workmen’s compensation law now in operation is the second achieve- ment of Mr. Underhill for the henefit of the residents of the District. He car- ried on a stubborn fight for this leg- islation for nearly four years. Most of Mr. Underhill’s other work for the District was blocking measures that he was convinced were not for the best interests of the District. He now desires to be relieved from the com- mittee routine. Mr. Underhill's withdrawal increases to 7, ous of the present 21 members of the House District committee, the num- ber of those who it is already known will not be on the committee during the next Congress. Representative Rath- bong, Illinois, died; Representatives Bowles of Massachusetts and Combs of Missouri were not candidates for re- election; Representative Blanton of Texas was defeated in the primary con- test for the Democratic nomination for Senator from that State and will not be a member of seventy-first Cuniresa; Representatives Gilbert of Kentucky and Cole of Maryland were defeated in the recent congressional election.
