LOOK FOR THIS
LABEL "ECLIPSE"
AND THAT WORD "SANITIZED" MEANS A GREAT DEAL ... SO
MUCH THAT DR. DAFOE HAS CHOSEN SANITIZED MATTRESSES
FOR THE QUINS TO SLEEP ON
It shows that the ticking has been specially treated to
make it actively antiseptic ... to repel vermin and
germ life of any sort . . . and to remain that way
until the mattress itself is worn out. And in
view of the way this mattress has been built,
that means for years and years to come.
Single, double or three-quarter sizes.

Whitehurst Tells Unit
Of'Acute Congestion'
At Dupont Circle
Asks Association for
Support of Program;
Liesenring Is Re-elected
Traffic congestion is more acute
at Dupont Circle than at either
Thomas Circle, which possesses an
underpass, and Scott Circle, where
an underpass is under construction,
Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, director of
District highways, told members of
the Dupont Citizens' Association
meeting yesterday at the Mayflower
Hotel.
Discussing the $44,450,000 highway
construction program for the Dis
trict, he pointed out that 10 streets
lead into Dupont Circle, where traf
fic “becomes matted.”
He asked the membership, holding
its annual election, to study the
proposed program and give their
approval “in principle" of the project
j rather than considering some small
I phase affecting only their neigh
borhood. The Highway Department
| report includes provisions for an
I underpass at the circle—a projpct
| w hich has been backed by the citi
! zens’ group.
‘Sick Patient,’ Highways.
Terming Washington's highways!
j “a sick patient,” Capt. Whitehurst
said the District has been "doc
toring the patient for years” but
that now, with increased traffic
loads, more drastic steps must be
| taken to relieve congestion.
“It is a question of whether we
want the improvements in our gen
eration, when we can benefit, op
whether we are satisfied to cc^
tinue to doctor our highway sjffr
tern,” the highway chipf declared^
| Questioned as to whether the
I trict would have to shoulder an
, costs of the proposed Potomac RivS
j tube at Alexandria, Capt, Whit^
hurst said this project would be
the subject of a special financial
study and that in any evpnt, the
District would not have to bear ail
its cost.
Leisenring Re-elected.
L. M. Liesenring, re-elected presi
dent in elections following the Dis
trict offlcia's address, said the high
way program was a “forward-look
ing project,” and announced that
the association would be represented
at the May 20 hearing on the pro
gram.
Also re-elected to offices were Dr.
Harry A. Garfield, first vice presi
dent; Harrall Mulliken. second vice
president; Rowland S. Marshall,
secretary’; W. Herbert Gill, treas
urer, and Admiral William L.
Rodgers and Frank C. Baldwin,
members of the Executive Com
mittee.
Members defeated a motion ap
proving daylight saving time for
Washington, but referred the mat
ter to their Legislative Committee
for further study. The president
was authorized in another motion
to appoint a special committee to
: survey alley dwellings in the Dupont
area with a view of recommending
corrections to the Alley Dwelling
Authority.
The meeting yesterday afternoon
was the last until fall, the group
recessing through the summer
months.
