Gift boxes will be placed in 1,000 Washington grocery stores tomorrow, when the second half of the Fall pro- gram of the Food Conservation Com- mittee of the District is launched. These boxes will be placed conspicu- ously, so that shoppers may deposit im- perishable foodstuffs in them for dis- tribution to the families of unemployed. Only canned foods or similar supplies should be deposited in the boxes, since the donations will not be distributed among the needy until about the first of next month. The distribution will be made through the regular agencies of the Community Chest. According to Mrs. Mildred Trayn- ham, domestic science expert of the committee, a substantial dinner for four persons could be provided in 87 cents’ worth of properly selected *imperish- iable” foods. Mrs. Traynham suggests 2 cans of vegetable soup, 20 cents; 1 can of baked beans, 10 cents; 1 can of tomatoes, 9 cents; 1 can of beef, 15 cents; 1 pound of coffee, 19 cents; 1 can of evaporated milk, 9 cents, and 1 pound of sugar, 5 cents. To this total of 87 cents’ worth of food, she said, a 5-cent loaf of bread could be added at time of use. ‘When collected from the stores, the foodstuffs will be st°red in the o'd Har- vey's restaurant building at Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue. meeting of the executive committee of the Food Conservation Committee will be held early next week to consider the ! details of the distribution. Mrs. Harvey | W. Wiley, chairman of the main com- mittee, will preside. In additicn to the distribution of the food donations, the committee’s pro- gram includes the provision of fuel and clothing for needy families. The committee is considering also the estab- lishment of a free restaurant for home- less and jobless men. ‘The committee, which maintains its headquarters in room 24 of the District Building, will receive the names of any additional grocery stores which would for placement in their stores. COWBOY ACTOR’S WIFE WINS DIVORCE DECREE By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, October 14—Rex Lease, the cowboy actor, had a philos- ophy of married life which caused him to ridicule the philosophical studies of his actress wife, Miss Eleanor Hunt told Judge M. H. Iverson in Superior Court yesterday, so he granted her a divorce. More than that, Lease was requested to pay $100 a month alimogy until further order of the court. “If he would see me reading a book on philosophy,” Mrs. Hunt-Lease com- plained to the court, “he would begin laughing.

Conferences between the officlal Dis- | trict Sign Committee and representa- tives of the three outdoor advertising concerns responsible for 1,578 signs and billboards on Wasbington's streets have reached a point of compromise which some of the groups that fought for regulatory legislation enacted in Con- gress last March regarded today as detrimental to the best interests of the public. In exchange for the removal of 84 large billboards and wall signs held to have been illegally erected and main- tained within the District, it was learned today, the Sign Committee proposes to let the advertising com- panies retain for commercial exploita- tion 290 signs of the same size whose legality is classified officially as “doubt- ful” A further “concession” for this favor, made a part of the barter, pro- vides that the billboard people agree to remove within a three-year period 6! of the large from residential zones and sections coming within the scope of the Shipstead act protecting public buildings and parks. These Wtter signs, the proposal reads, would include those duly authorized as well as the “doubtful” ones in the designated areas. While the replies of the billboard managers have not yet been received or made public, it was inconceivable to sponsors of the anti-billboard cam- paign that the companies would re(use‘ of the fact that the proposed biilboard | regulations would give them the right to repair or rebuild existing author- | ized billboards, under certain restric- tions, which are less than 50 per cent Conditions Apply Otherwise. The same conditions apply to the retention of questionably legal signs of the 4x8-foot type in the pro) which Maj. Donald A. Davison, chair- man of the Sign Committee, has made formally to the billboard companies. With respect to all unauthorized signs, the companies would be given 60 days in which to take them down. The three-year period for signs with- | in residential and Shipstead zones | would be governed as follows: Forty | per cent of the signs and billboards | to be removed within the first year, 30 per cent within the second year and 30 per cent within the third year. Each | company has been supplied with a classified list of all advertising units for which they are held responsible, a list which has virtually been agreed upon between the Sign Committee and the billboard representatives after ex- haustive checking and rechecking. Upon the companies agreeing to the aforementioned conditions, Maj. Davi- sion notified them that “the Sign Com- mittee will proceed at once to prepare | the authorized list of billboards and wall signs referred to in section 19 of | the proposed sign regulations, and will | recommend to the Commissioners that | outdoor advertising companies be per- mitted to repair and maintain all | boards and wall signs included in such | list, subject to the provisions of section T Safest way is always the best, bring vour children in and have their eyes examined.
