Back in 1920, Thomas F. Moore, now reopening the Rialto, conceived an unusual idea for a new theater to be built on a lot bordered by Kenyon street and Park road, Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets. To start with, he built two rows of small stores aiong Kenyon street and | Park road. They were of unusually | heavy construction, for they were in- | tended to serve as side walls for the | proposed theater and possibly as a base for apartments above A permit for the theater was issued, | but it was never built, because Mr. Moore could not get the necessary signatures of the other property own- ers in the block. Two of them, he said, held out and demanded that he buy their property, which he could not afford to do. The result was that he was left with the stores on his hands. They | were well rented for a while, but be- cause of their unusual construction, including a double roof, did not bring in enough to meet the carrying charges. | Rentals gradually fell off until, sev- | eral months ago. the 17 stores were | sold to Max Goldberg, who operates | a string of parking lots. Wrecking work started last week, and at that time only one of the stores had a tenant. Under direction of M. P. Shipp the shops are being razed by a gang of workmen, and the 2,000-pound drop hammer, which is rapidly reducing the fine construction work to a mass of battered steel and brick. The’ job, according to Mr. Shipp, should be fin- ished this week. FEDERAL EMPLOYES TO ATTEND MEETING Delegates From 350 Unions Plan to Go to Yellowstone Park Convention. Representatives from nearly all the 530 individual unions in the National Federation of Federal Employes are expected to attend the thirteenth bi- ennial convention of the organization at Yellowstone Nationai Park Septem- ber 2, according to Luther C. Steward, federation president Of primary importance at the meet- ing will be discussions on the liberal- ization of existing retirement specifica- tions and of plans for classification in connection with the perscnnel service. Specific méasures urged by the Na- tional Federation would permit op- tional retirement after 30 years of service at the age of 60 and would permit the extension of retirement to a second period specified by the employe. The largest number of delegates and visitors in the history of the National Federation conventions is expected to attend the meeting in September. Representatives are to be present from every State in the Union. foreign de- partments, insular possessions and Territories owned by the Government. Named Aide FEE TO BE CORPORATION THE PRIDES OF THE 1936 CO-ED At Vassar, Brooks sweater sets are as much a part of things as entrance exams. At Duke, a fur coat, preferably lapin, is an essential. Goucher likes big, bundly-looking, heavy camel's hair coats. Sweet Briar is very particular sbout tea-time dresses. Hood has a penchant for very dressy clothes. Smith sticks severely to very sports things except on week-ends. American University is very pattial to the three-piece swagger suit. Girls at Randolph-Macon say two evening dresses, at least, are "‘musts”’. At George Weashington University, sports skirts are avidly collected. Trinity wears wool socks over silk stockings. And Maryland University goes for lounging robes that are man-tailored and flannel. Don't ask us why —it's collegiate, that's all. . AND PREJUDICES CASHMERE SWEAT. ER SE 5; slip 5.95.
