GLEN ECHO PROGRESS
CITY JAIL WILL SOON BE FEA-
TURE OF IMPORTANCE.
Numerous Arrests Make Lookup a
Necessity-Mayor Denies Having
Quailed Before Prisoner.

Glen Echo-the very name carries with
it the mental picture of a sturdy infant
community standing up for its rights.
Glen Echo-synonym for progress and
preCocity.
Glen Echo again to the fore
A city Jail is to be built within the cor
porate limits, the building to be entirely of
steel and wood construction, and to cover
total ground space of ninety-six square
feet-that is the building will be twelve
feet long and eight feet wide, and it will
be provided with two cells. each capable,
under pressure, of containing thirteen
scorchng automobilists.

been its inability to provide suitable enter

A Finishing Touch.
Being about to add this small remaining
touch to the community, and make it a

there will be a spirited competition between

Referring to the invidious report that
Mayor Garrett turned pale when he en-
countered d. c. Walker of Towson, Md.
after the trial a Rockville a day or two
ago, the mayor said:
Nothing could be SO far from the truth.
In fact, l never gave Mr.. Walker or his
threats thought after the case had been
disposed of. So far as being worried Is
concerned, / will say that 1 have taken

Glasses to Protect Cows Eyes.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
There are cows that wear glasses in
my country" said Russian. Il once saw
a herd Of 10000 cows with glasses on. 1t
was on the steppes, the great Russian
prairies. Our steppes for six months in
the year are covered with snow, but dur
ing part Of the time delicate. fresh grass
tips protrude from that white and dazzling
mantle. The cows then are turned out to
feed on the new grass, but If their eyes
are unprotected the dazzle Of sunshine
on the snow gives them snow blindness.
Thousands of cows suffered horribly, and
hundreds died of snow blindness until a
rude, cheap kind of spectacles, made OF
leather and smoked glass, was invented
and put with great success on the Russian
market"
