Inclusion of the $70,000 character eiucation appropriation in the 1936 District budget, providing “no part of ‘the appropriation be disbursed to any ‘one who teaches or advocates policies derogatory to the Government,” was asked in a resolution adopted last night by the Petworth Citizens' Asso- ciation. The motion was made by James G. Yaden, president, Federation of Citi- zens' Associations and delegate from the Petworth body. In addition, the resolution asks that none of the funds appropriated “be paid to any one who is in the employ of any foreign gov- ernment which advocates the over- throw of our Government or which spreads propaganda detrimental to our Government.” The action follows similar action taken Saturday night at the federation meeting A proposal to convert the Tubercu- losis Hospital site into a recreation- education center when that institution is moved to Glenn Dale, Md., in 1936, was reported on by Harvey O.

Thirteen churches and two theaters are no longer the scene of pantomime alone which they have been for the partially deaf in the ast. PoFor a decade, hand in hand with radio has gone the development of battery and electrical devices for those to whom the spoken word was a thing rarely if ever enjoyed. Now, the same instrument which picks up sound and amplifies it for the outer ear is being used to carry it to the inner ear of the defective, by means of tiny ear- phones. Those at St. Paul's Church, of the latest type, clip on the rear of the pew ahead. With a twist of wires, they lead to a triple set of differently shaped black receivers which may be plugged in a small socket directly in front of the user. Each pew is equipped with the two types of re- ceiver, or earphone, commonly found necessary for the semi-deaf—the tactile and the vibration types. The former carries sound through the bone di- rectly behind the ear when applied to that spot, the second is the com- mon type of earphone, similar to the one on the desk telephone. The churches usually equip any- where from 6 to 12 pews with these sound apparatuses, locating half near the pulpit and half in the rear of the nave. To further aid in carrying the sound of services, special accoustical wires are often stretched high across the transept, and loud-speakers in- stalled above the altar. The latest theater to be so equipped Neighborhood Feast | | Fulfills a Promise Made on Sick Bed By the Associated Piess. LOS ANGELES, March 20.— A pledge made 12 yeers ago brought several hundred persons yesterday to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carniglia to partake of some of the 200 varieties of | | food, including 220 pounds of | | spaghetti, given out free. “Twelve years ago,” explained Mrs. Carniglia, “my husband was very sick. We made a promise to St. Joseph that if my husband recovered we would, in gratitude for this favor. hold open house each year on St. Joseph's day.” The picturesque Italian feast was served to the crowds from a huge table, more than 20 feet square, built in the form of an altar. “WHEN THE SCORE is close, and a high run may mean victory and a cham- pionship...smoking a Camel always gives me a ‘lift’ in the pinches, when I need it most!

The Fox has had 45 sets of earphones, which may be plugged in certain seats on the mezzanine floor, for the use of its patrons for more than three years. These earphones pick up sound from four microphones spotted in the foot- lights, two on the stage, and two in the orchestra pit. The sound accom- panying the action of the film goes through the projection room to the patrons’ earphones. Each phone has an individual amplifying unit, to in- crease the sound or diminish it ac- cording to the degree of deafness of the user. They have about 400 regular customers who are known by the ushers and, upon entering the theater, are handed a pair of phones from those hanging 1n a small closet just inside the lobby entrance. Hearing devices for the partially | deaf are no new thing, but it has been only recently that the scientific laboratories are turning to such out- lets as the school room, church, and theater for their product.
