WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.
ANACOSTIA. D. C, MARCH .
The ninety-third anniversary of the
establishment In the United States of
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows
will bo celebrated in the Dls'trlct April
215, nnd each lodge of tho order In the
District has appointed representatives
to form a committee of arrangements.
Salem Lodge, No. 22, In Anacostia,
will have a prominent part In tho cele
bration, and John Payne, Its representa
tive on the' committee, submitted a re
port at a meeting of tho organization
las.t night outlining the progress made
by the general committee. K. D.
Thompson, the deputy grand master of
the order In tho District. Is the chair
man of this committee. The celebration
will be hchl In Odd Fellows" Hal, In
Sevejath street northwest, and already
Invitations have been sent to several
Congressmen and a1 number' of promi
nent citizens to take part. The details
of the program ' have not been com
pleted yet.,
A gradual change In suburban sur
roundings here is becoming noticeable,
due to the attention given to homes,
lawns, and flower gardens. Many
houses are taking on a new nppear
ance through the work of decorators
and painters, lawns have been prepared,
and the flower seeds distributed
through the public schools have been
In demand. With all this, there has
been In evidence a. desire on the part of
residents to Join in tho clcanlng-up cru
sade. Much of the Interest In lawns and
flowers Is due to tho efforts of the Ana
costia Citizens' Association and the
People's Gardens Association. Under, the
campaign of the former some time ago,
when monetary prizes were awarded for
the best kept lawns and yards, there
was a stimulus to attractive surround
ings of this sort, which was Increased
by the lecturers of the People's Gar
dens Association. There Is now a plan
under discussion to request the citizens'
association to renew Its offer of prizes
this year. In the residential part of the
town are the effei ts of the flowers and
lawns treatment best realized.
While petit inn were belin: circula
ted nnd complaints registered otherwise
concerning the paving on the -southern
approach t the new Anaci sti.i hrMi;
a subje-t that th" Anacostia Citizens'
Association h'.m had before It numerous
times, th Dlslilct authorities caused
woikmun to levi 1 un and reset the pav
ing blocks so a tj make conditions
better for vehicles.
