The Star Safety Council's cam- paign to reduce traffic fatalities and accidents was indorsed last night by the Congress Heights Citizens’ Asso- ciation at its meeting held in the Congress Heights School. A request | for a group safe-driving pledge will be made by the association, and it is expected that all members will sign. Benson Taylor, reporting recent 1937 budget hearings, said the Dis- trict Commissioners favored enlarge- ment and improvement of the Con- gress Heights playgrounds. On a motion by E. J. Newcombe the association voted in favor of donating a sum of $500 to four churches in Congress Heights. The money has been in the treasury of the association for years, is the remainder of nearly $1,000 from pro- ceeds of a carnival several years ago. The money was originally planned for the building of a swimming pool, but the project was dropped after it was estimated the pool would cost between $10,000 and $15,000. The | money is to be divided into four equal parts and given to the Meth- odist, Baptist, Catholic and Episco- pal Churches of Congress Heights. Taylor, a delegate to the Federa- | tion of Citizens’ Associations, urged | the association to indorse the im- provement of Alabama avenue south- east frm Nichols avenue to Good Hope road southeast. Taylor urged the widening and resurfacing and pointed out many telephone poles | were too near the road. It was an- | nounced that Capt. H. C. Whitehurst of the engineer department had previ- ously proposed a plan to widen Ala- bama avenue by extending the curb over to the edge of the sidewalk and plant the necessary trees on the inside edge of the walk. The Public Utilities Committee was instructed to study and work out a new bus route of the Congress Heights busses, particulraly the route along C street southwest. The association voted in favor of resuming its reguler meetings for | the coming year at the Congress Heights School, Alabama and Nichols avenue. 1 STRATO CAMP TO OPEN RAPID CITY, S.

A FEUD hetween two constables in a nearby Meryland county cui- minated the other night in one hal- ing the other before a justice of the peace on a speeding charge. The word battle was loud and long and the judge, who had made a trip to Baltimore that day and was grow- ing sleepy, decided to bring the testi- mony to an end quickly “Never mind all this talk about speedometers,” he said, “were you ex- | ceeding the speed limit or not?” “I thought I was going at a very moderate speed,” the accused an- swered, “because as I drove down a hill you passed me like I was standing stin!” “Case dismissed!” barked his honor. e NO POACHING HERE.

Mr. Taft lives across the areaway. In his turn, Mr. Taft has been wondering about the effect of his music—whether Minister MacWhite's reaction to the jigs is that of another Irishman, or that of a diplomat. *x %% WE'RE PRETTY WELL FIXED.

PANHANDLmG a pandhandler seems to be the ultimate in achievement, but at least one Wash- ingtonian knows what to do when he believes he is being victimized. Approached on his way to lunch downtown, this citizen tested the mendicant by offering to buy him a meal. The panhandler demurred and made it plain he preferred the cash, but finally accepted the invi- tation. After hurrying through a big meal, during which his suspicions became convictions, the citizen explained that he had to leave without finishing and would pay the checks on the way out. The panhandler was instructed to raise his hand so he could be iden- tified to the cashier. What the citizen told the cashier was that the hand-raiser would take care of the checks.

Slender should value it for HEALTH and BEAUTY Beauty and slenderness owe much to proper food and drink. BUDWEISER belongs in the diet of the woman who chooses wise- ly. BUDWEISER in itself is nos fattening. Its calorie count is lower than that of milk and compares favorably with that of orange juice or soda water. BUDWEISER is invigorating and strengthen- ing. It stimulates with a pleasant, friendly glow, but it does not dissipate. It has a vivid, spirited taste that is found only in BUDWEISER. It makes good food taste better. ANHEUSER-BUSCH ¢ ST.
