28 CITIZENS CONDEMN DANGER 10 PUPLS Traffic Conditions Discussed at Meeting of Forest Hills Association. Danger to school children who have to cross Connecticut avenue at Dav- enport street to reach the portable rchools to the west of the avenue was stressed in resolutions adopted by the Forest Hills Citizens’ Association at & meeting in the Methodist Home last nignt. A Jarge number of the pu- s are in the first and second grades and with the heavy traffic are en- dangering life and limb several times & day, it was said. The children would have been allowed to leave early ves- terday because of the weather, but in the absence of traffic officers and par- ents not expecting early dismissal, the teachers were fearful of consequences. ‘The secretary was directed to ask the Police Department for an officer for traffic eontrol and for the placing of a police booth at Davenport street. Another school matter taking the at- tention of the association was a res- olution, which was adopted, urging the Board of Education to provide ma- trons for all of the city’s elementary schools, as is provided in the junior and senjor high schools. It was said the need is as great in the elementarv grades, where there are none but man janitors and attendants. There are but two matrons in the graded schools now and these are provided for by the parents of the community. The matron would be invaluable, it was said, in seeing that smaller children are properly clothed in leaving the school buildings in inclement weather, and also to supervise them during the Tecess periods. Complaint was registered against unsightly and insanitary conditions of & dump on the south side of Albe- marle street to the east of Connecticut avenue, the place being infested with rats, it was said. A resolution adopt- ed urges the Department of Health to order an abatement of the nuisance. Objection was raised also to the pro- posed change in the name of Linnean avenue to that of Forest Hills park- way. ‘The association unanimously adopted resolutions favoring passage of the Capper-Zihlman bill providing for elec- tion by popular vote of the members of the Board of Education. The chair- man of the schools commmittee was directed to take action relative to af- filiating with the District of Columbia Public School Association. It was voted to contribute $15 to the Meth- odist Home Christmas entertainment. President George Esch presided.

By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, December 13.—Be it ever %0 noble, a resolution of sympathy is a poor substitute for a suit of clothes and an overcoat. Roman W. Myslinski, workman, was thrown into the Chicago River the other day when the Randolph Street Bridge Tower collapsed. Into the water with Myslinski went his suit of clothes, overcoat, hat, watch, pair of gloves, a stick pin and probably some socks and underwear, although he is silent on the subject. He billed the City of Chicago | or $130 for replacement. “We can't pay it.” said Alderman An- cerson of the city council's finance commyittee, “The very best we can do for this gentleman is a resolution of s;mpathy.” Any one with a suit, overcoat, etc. and a secret urge to possess a resolu tion of sympathy smould communicate at once with Mr. Myslinski SOLD BY EMERSCN Al ORME 1620 M St. N.
