Plats, p. 620. It l provided Jthnt the en
tire area formerly known os the Poto
mac flats nnd then being reclaimed, be
and the sam are hcrebv mode and de
clared a public perk under the name of
the Potomac park, and to bo forever
held and used a" a-pnrk for the recre
ation and nleasure of the people."
"The entire portion of this park which
lies west of the railroad embankment Is
now being Improved with funds appro
priated from year to year by Congress,
or Is tho suhleet of comprehensive plans
for park development. Congress has con
slstenMv adhered to Its declared Inten
tion th.a,t this area shall be held and
used as 'a public park.
Development Plans.
"To meet suggestions which have been
mado by members of the Committee on
Appropriations of the House of Repre
sentatives, a comprehensive plan has
been prepared here for the development
of East Potomac Park as public recrea
tion grounds, and will be submitted in
a few days. This plan provides base
ball grounds, tenn courts, golf courses,
and facilities for other out-of-door rec
reations which this cltv now lacks, and
which are -so much needed for the physi
cal well-being of Its people.
"To devote any porion of these
grounds to tho purposes mentioned here
in will render them unfit for thn uses In
which they have been dedicated and de
feat tho purposes of Congress, ns thn
drilling of cavalry and the evolutions of
artillery will cut up the turf and destroy
tho grounds for recreation purposes.
Only Objection.
"The,' only objection to tho use of
the grounds at Fort Myer Is stated to
bo their Inconvenience of access, but
it does not appear to be Incumbent
upon the department of parks to
remedy this by permitting the use of
park areas which have been dedlcateJ
to other purposes. Moreover, It is be
lieved that their u.-e as drill grounds
would havo to be tipeclflcaljy author
ized by Congress before such use
couiu De permmen. There are no
other areas under the charge of this
office which would be nultable for
drill grounds that could be put to the
use suggested In the application.
"For the foregoing reasons It Is
recommended tlial the within request
be denied.
"In view of the above remarks, I
do not believe It feasible to attempt
to utilize Potomac Park for the pur
pose you suggest.

The proposal to utilize a, part of Po

The Rubinstein Club, the ever popular
chorus club of about 100 women's voices,
gave its second concert of the season at
the Raleigh Hotel lost evening before
an audience that toxed the capacity of
the large ball room. Under the able
directorship of Herndon Morsell,
this year the chorus sustains Its refuta
tion for rich volume of tone and excel
lence In harmonic effects.
Opening the program with tho club
song, "Our Greeting," that was com
posed for the 'club by tnelr director,
Mr. Morsell, and whlcn. In its "Joyous
welcome" reaches' a splondld climax, tho
club also gave a chorus of local In
terest, the "Indian summer," by Harry
Patterson Hopkins. It Is a musical com
position told In three moods. It was
brought up to a full-'volced climax, and
tho effectives harmomur In an unaccom
panied part was excellently delivered
ana snauea.
In the Elgar "Fly,, Singing Bird." the
club was supported by un augmented
accompaniment of six violins, giving it a
rich orchestral background. The violin
ists were Miss Ruth Brownsnn, Mrs.
Horace Dulln, Miss Dnlsy Flcklnscher,
Miss Klsa nancr. Miss Margorv Snyder,
and Miss Elizabeth Wilbur. This very
lovely chorus was so successfully ren
dered that It had to be repeated.
Tho "Sing, Maiden, Sing." of I.utkln.
was given with strong contrasts, and
the Coleridge-Taylor chorus wos broad
ly built up. "Night 8on."- of Hcllman.
was also (riven, and the program closed
with the "I.osf Chord" (Sullivan-Bart-lett),
which again showed the rich-toned
harmony of these singers' concerted
work.
Miss Rthelyrlde Smith, soprano, or
New York, was the assisting soloist.
Miss Smith sang a group of songs In
German by Wolf, I.oewe. and Slndlng;
the "Oone Fine Day." aria from "Mad
ame Butterfly." In Kngllsii; a group of
songs In English, and as encores "A
Child's Prayer." by Harold an old
French minuet written in l"i5, and a
dialect song. "Shadow" March."
Mr. Arthur Mayo at the piano, gave
excellent support throughout the pro
gram, and Miss Mullaly presided at tho
organ for the Sullivan, "Lost Chord."

When Mrs. Mohr went to see Miss

"Did you ever have any trouble with

"Yes, when my mother died, she. re

I said for safe keeping. He got so
mad hn struck me and knocked me to

Then Mr. Cushlng switched tho ex

chur.ee I called her up and said I wished
she would stop going out In public with
him. 1 told her I had two little children
to think of. She wouldn't answer at

"Later Dr. Mohr came in and struck
me and knocked me down, and said:

the house and staved till 3 o'clock In

"Monday night I went to Emllv

Try This If You
Have Dandruff
Thcro Is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruff completely and that
Is to dissolvo it. This destroys it en
tirely. To do this. Just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon:
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp, and rub it
in gently with the finger tins.
Bv morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications wltl completely dis
solve nnd entirely destroy every alnglo
sign and trace of it. no matter how
much dandruff you mav have.
You will find, too, that all Itching and
digging of tho scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any dru
store. It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fall.
