. « "FOUR GEORGETOWN PROEETS PLANED Public Utilities Developments Are Urged by Citizens’ Association. Contending that Georgetown, the most historical and oldest community in the city, is constantly being ignored by the Government in its improvement program, the Georgetown Citizens’ As- sociation, meeting in the parish hall of 8t. John's Church, Potomac avenue and O street, last night urged further devel- opment of the section in so far as pub- lic utilities are concerned, and referred to a committee for further investiga- tion and report four projects for the beautification and advancement of the The Moon-Slave. BY BARRY PAIN. (Barry Pain. writer particult sto includ born in 1867, is & British humgro | | The Princess Viola had, even in her | childhood, an inevitable submission to the dance; a rhythmical madness in her [blood answered hotly to the dance | music, swaying her, as the wind sways trees, to movements of perfect sympathy and grace. Now, when she was 16 years old, she | was betrothed to the Prince Hugo. | With her it was merely a question of obedience to the wishes of authori | but_with Hugo it was quite different | he loved her. ‘The betrothal was cele- |brated by a banquet and afterward by |a dance in the great hall of the palace. From this dance the princess soon made her escape, quite discontented, and went to the farthest part of the palace community. The projects include the retention and use of the old Aqueduct | Bridge abutment between the river and | the canal; the beautification of the tri- | angle at Twenty-eighth street, M street | and Pennsylvania avenue; restoration | of Lyons Mill Bridge, to be used ex-| clusively for pedestrians, and advance- | ment of construction of the section of the Rock Creek Park driveway down P street to the river bank into Potomac Park. Improvement of Thirty-fifth street, leading to Key Bridge, also was urged. | Urges Park Beautification. Pointing out that Montrose Park is| beneficial to the section and is used by | schools in the Spring as a site on which to holds plays and pageants, Henry W. Praper urged that the park be kept in better, condition and that necessary im- provements toward its beautification be given attention. He also urged that work on the Gordon Junior High School addition be hurried to take care of the increased enrollment before classes are overcrowded. The association expressed a desire to fncrease its membership, and intimated | that it would communicate with new | residents and issue invitations to en- roll. Officers Re-elected. . ‘The entire staff of officers was unani- mously re-elected for the coming year.| It includes B. A. Bowles, president; John H. Small, first vice president; Rear Admiral Spencer S. Wood, second vice president; William M. Dougal, treas- urer, and John Paul Jones, secretary. A 'vote of thanks was given St. John's Church officials for the use of the hall| to hold meetings, and ‘it was announced that, due to the conflict of the date set for the next meeting with the Christ- mas holidays, the association would convene one week earlier, which will be December 16. i BOTTLES GIVE CLUES IN DEATH OF COUPLE Cause of Tragedy Involving Man and Woman Unde- termined. By the Associated Press. ‘WORCESTER, Mass., November 26.— Bottles which had contained liquor ‘were clues today in attempts to solve the mysterious deaths of James J. Casey, superintendent of police detec- tives here, and Mrs. Dora Bingham, department store saleswoman, whose bodies were found at Casey’s camp at Northbrook Pield yesterday. Supt. Casey’s unclothed body and the y clad form of Mrs. Bingham. were| found on the floor of a bedroom of the camp by two of Casey’s lieutenants. They had been ordered to investigate his failure to return home on Sunday. Casey, who was 56 years old, his wife and Mrs, Bingham, 40, were reported to have been friendly for several years. Mrs. Casey first learned of the tragedy by a radio report. After an autopsy last night City Hos- tal physicians said they could not de- positively what had caused death. A chemical analysis of vital or- gans was ordered. i CHILDREN MARRIED. TLONDON, November 26 (#).—The Dally Express in a dispatch from Bom- bay today said infant brides were being rushed to the altar by the hundreds in some parts of India to forestall the law prohibiting child marriages, which be- comes effective in April. Several child marriages have been solemnized in Bombay the last few days, while in Surat it was estimated 2,000 such marriages have occurred recently. Brides and bridegrooms of between 5 and 12 years have been a common sight. Even marriages between babies have been arranged. All there is to it!

Simplest thing in the world, isn't it? | through the gate—a narrow gate with gardens, where she could no longer hear the music calling her. She thought the men mechanical—they lacked the inspiration of dancing. It was so dif- ferent when she danced alone! She wandered on until she reached an old forsaken maze. It had all its paths bordered by high opaque hedges. In the very center was a circular open space with tall pine trees growing around it. Many vears ago the clue to the maze had been lost. It was but rarely now that any one entered it. For a moment or two Viola stood peering curlously twisted bars of wrought iron. Then the whim seized her to enter the maze and try to'find the center. She opened the gate and went in. Outside everything was uncannily vis- ible in the light of the full moon, but here in the dark shaded alleys the night was consclous of itself. She soon for- got her purpose and wandered about quite aimlessly, sometimes forcing her way where the brambles had flung a laced barrier across her path. As chance would have it she suddenly found herself standing under the tall pines and looking at the open space that formed the goal of the maze. She was pleased that she had gotien there, Here the ground was carpeted with sand, fine and, as it seemed, beaten hard. From the Summer night sky im- mediately above the moonlight, unob- structed here, streamed straight down upon the scene. Viola began to think about dancing. Over the dry, smooth sand her little satin shoes moved easily, stepping and gliding, circling and stepping, as she hummed the tune to which they moved. In her fantastic mood she stretched HE SUFFERED FOR TEN YEARS Then ALL-BRAN BroughtRe. lief in 2 Months — Doctor Recommended It Constipation is dreaded not only for its own insidious self, but be- cause of the many serious conditions ! and diseases it causes. Mr. Lind was a sufferer—but read how he found relief. “For the past 10 years I have suffered from piles. At times 1 have been unable 1o work. I have tried suppositories, oint- ments, etc., but to no avail. “Two months ago my grocer called my at- | tention to Kellogg's ALL-BRAN. I began “taking it regularly.

Her eyes were half closed, and her mouth as & kissing mouth “Ah, sweet moon,” | she whispered, ““do this for me and I iH be your slave; I will be what you Quite suddenly the air was filled with the sound of a grand invisible orches- tra. Viola did not stop to wonder., To the music of a slow saraband she swayed and postured. In the music there was the regular beat of small drums and a perpetual drone. The air seemed to be filled with the per- fume of some bitter spice. Viola could knew that the force that sways the tides had strange power over her. The fear grew as the year fell, for each month the music went on for a longer time—each month some of the pleasure had gone from the dance. On bitter nights in Winter the moon called her and she came, when the breath was | vapor, and the trees that circled her dancing Toom were black bare skele- tons, and the frost was cruel. She dared not tell any one, and yet it was with difficulty that she kept her secret. | Somehow chance seemed to favor her and she always found a way to return from her midnight dance to her own room without being observed. She was to be married in the Spring! She began to be more gentle with Hugo now. She had a blind hope that when they were married she might be able to tell him about it, and he might be able to protect her, for she had always known him to be fearless. She could not 1ave him, but she tried to be good to him. One day he mentioned to her that he had tried to find his way to the center of the maze and had failed. She smiled faintly. If only she could fail! But she never did. On the night before the wedding day she had gone to bed and slept peace- fully, thinking with her last waking moments of Hugo. Overhead the fuil moon came up the sky. Quite suddenly Viola was wakened with the impulse to fly to the dancing room. She flung her cloak round her, slipped her naked feet into her dancing shoes and hurried forth. No one saw her or heard her: she ran as fast as she could. Viola had no choice—the moon called her. The moon drew her to that circle of hard, bright sand and the pitiless music. It was brilliant, rapid music tonight. Viola threw off her cloak and danced. As she did so, she saw that a shadow lay over a fragment of the moon's edge. It. was the night of a total eclipse. She heeded it not. The intoxication of the dance was on her. She was all in white, even her face was pale in the meon- almost fancy that shg saw a smolder- ing campfire and heard far off the roar of some desolate wild beast. She let her long hair fall, raising the heavy strands of it in either hand as she moved slowly to the laden music. Slow- ly her body swayved with drowsy grace, slowly her satin shoes siid over the silver sand The music ceased with a clash_of cymbals. Viola rubbed her eves. She fastened her hair up carefully again. Suddenly she looked up. almost im- periously. She demanded more mysic once more music came, This time it| was a_dance of caprice, pelting along over the violin strings, leaping, laugh- ing, wanton. Faster and faster she sped to the music, stepping, spinning, pirouetting: the dance was light as thistle down, fierce as fire, smooth as | a rapid stream. The moment that the music ceased Viola became horribly afraid. She fled wildly—and somehow reached the out- side of the maze. Prince Hugo met her. She said on in answer to his questions: “For the first time in my | life I've been dancing. The months passed away. Slowly a | great fear came over Viola. For every | month at the full moon, whether she would or not, she found herself driven to the maze, and when she was there the music began once more, and once | more she danced most deliciously for | the moon to see. The second time that | this happened she had merely thought | that it was a recurrence of her whim and that the music was but a trick that the imagination had chosen to repeat. The third time frightened her, and she NEW LOW PRICES ON Majestic RADIO MAJESTIC | RADIO Terms—Demonstrations OPEN EVENINGS J.CHARDING . g ) 1336 CONN.AVE /- s R ogggpyn (eSO POTOMAC 3-0-4-0 FREE HOME DEMONSTRATION OF THE NEW $10.00 DOWN DELIVERS The New Majestic Radio Now on Display at 9, Ine. 920 14th St. N.W.

She had grown deathly weary. It seemed to her that she had been dancing for hours, and the shadow had nearly covered the moon’s face, so that it was almost dark. She could hardly see the trees round her. She went on dancing, stepping, spinning, pirouetting, held by the merci- less music. It stopped at last, just when the shadow had quite covered the moon’s face, and all was dark. But it stopped only for a moment, and then began again. This time it was a slow, pas- sionate waltz. It was useless to resist; she began to dance once more. As she did so she uttered a sudden shrill scream of horror, for in the dead darkness a hot hand had caught her own and whirled her round, and she was no longer dancing alone! Next day the princess was missing. The search for her lasted all day. In the evening Prince Hugo passed the iron gate of the maze and noted on the stones beside it the stain of a drop of blood. Within the gate was another | stain. They had been left by the princess in her mad rush to the maze the night before. He followed this clue until he reached the center of the maze. It was quite empty. But Prince Hugo noticed that the sand round the hedges was all worn down, as though some one had danced there, round and round, for a long time.” But no separate footprints was distinguishable there, Just oufside this track, however, he saw two footprints clearly defined close together; one was the print of a tiny satin shoe: the other was the print of a large naked foot—a cloven foot.
