Farmers Club of Sandy Spring Dis
cusses Washington Thoroughfares.

At a recent meeting of the Farmers Club
of Sandy. Spring, Nd, Mr.. William E.
Muncaster of Rockville introduced a reso-
luton which was unanimously adopted,
setting forth that the Farmers Club OF
Sandy Spring, Nd, desires "the extension
of 18th, ]4th and 10th streets of Washing
ton city, to provide means other than
Brightwood avenue for egress and ingress
to the national capital"
1t was further declared that Maryland
representatives in Congress and the Com
missioners Of the District of Columbia be
informed of this desire and of the neces-
sity which exists for these additional
thoroughfares
A copy Of the resolutions duly attested
by DR.. Malon Kirk of Oakdale, Nd. has
been forwarded to the senators and repre-
Maryland and also to the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia.
This effort on the part of the people of
Maryland, it is stated, is in line of the work
of the Brightwood Citizens Association of
the District Of Columbia. Fourteenth street
has recently been extended as far north
as its intersection with the old Pfney branch
road and the Capital Traction cars are
running regularly thereon Through the
efsort of the Brentwood Citizens Associa-
ton all the land necessary for 10Th street
through to the District line has been Sc
cured. ~
anpropriation of q sufficient amount OF
money to open these necessary thorough
fares which, 1t Is declared. will not only
greatly accommodate the people of Mary
land. but will greatly develop much terri
tory OF the District Of Columbia which liz
now deprived OF street facilities.

FINED FOR ASSAULT.
Attorney Castell Elected Young Man
From His Office

Gerald Van Castell, lawyer, with an
office in the Bond building, wac sharged in
the Police Court this morning with max
ing an assault on Leland c. Quinn who
had called at his office, and after hearing
all the evidence Judge Mullowny found
Van Castell guilty and imposed a sentence
of $40 fine.
Miss Helen Powell, a stenographer In
Mr.. Van Castelrs office, 1t developed in the
testimony. was the innocent cause of the
trouble. Mr.. Quinn was in the habit of go
ing In to talk with her at different times.
and her employer found him in the office
on several occasions. Tuesday, the testi-
mony showed, he came into the Office and
found Quinn talking with the stenographer.
For several minutes Van Castell stood by
the window, very much agitated. Finany,
he turned to Quinn and asked him If he
did not have some work to do. and telling
him to get out of the office.
Must go out?' Quinn asked the young
woman. Il
mo, stay as long as you want to-" she
replied according to the testimony.
AS to what happened after that, the tes-
timony was conflicting. Mr.. Quinn and
Miss Powell testified that Van Castell at
tackled him and struck him, causing his
nose to bleed. The defendant claimed
that he used only the force necessary to
put Quinn out of his office, and that Quinn
hurt his nose outside. The struggle lasted
for several minutes, however, according to
the testimony.

Damage Done Annually.

Almost the same conditions were reached
after the war in many of the dead fields
of the southern states. This is now being
checked somewhat by cultivation, but the
damage can never be wholly eradicated. It
is impossible to calculate the amount of
damage that is done annually to the farm
lands of the United States by the fertile
flood-borne sediment carried down by the
rivers 1t is thought by the commissioners
in a general way that much Of the erosion
and land waste in the east can be checked
by replanting the forests on the headwaters
of the streams and the proper cultivation of
the farms along the stream banks so as to
prevent their best soil from being washed
into the rivers in time of the spring rise.
In the west the amount of sediment car
ried by the streams in flood is vastly great
er. But 1t is thought that much of this
damage will be checked by the vast irriga-
ton works now being put IN The big irri-
cation reservoirs that are being constructed
in twenty-one states and territories will act
as reservoirs to control the food waters OF
course they would be rapidly silted up were
provision not made against 1t. But each of
the reservoirs has settling basin that can
be used to catch the sediment in flood time
and sluiced out when the water in the main
stream Is low, thus reducing the grade Of

He dictated letter Of protest to J. Earl Lawshe.

twenty-five hundred pupils in Primary and

teachers.
minute and Il half after the alarm in the
school had sounded all the pupils and the IN
structors were safely in the street. There were
forty-flve teachers in the school besides the two
principals and District Superintendent Farrell.
The fire started IN a storeroom in the attic OF
the building which is four stories high. and
spread rapidly. It was discovered by Miss s.
n Blakey, teacher Of a grammar class on the
fourth floor. She smelled smoke and left her
room to investigate. Seeing the flames she re-

Alderman Clarence Freeman's pure milk Ordi-
