NEW SUBDIVISION.
Sites for Erection of Homes on the
Rockville Road.

The active work of improvement by a
proposed subdivision is to be begun at once
The scene Of operations will be the tract of
$50 acres of land in Bethesda district of
Montgomery county, Md, on the west side
of the Tenleytown and Rockville electric
line and south of Bethesda Park. This
property was recently purchased by Mr.. U.
d. Settler at cost of between $4,000 and
500 Mr. Settler has associated with
himself in this deal Mr. Abraham Hess,
ex-mayor of Lebanon, Pa, and Mr.. Charles
o. Booth of the same place.
1t is the purpose of Mr.. Settler and his
associates to Immediately subdivide this
tract in more attractive way than is
usually done with similar properties around
Washington. Great attention will be given
to the identifying of the section, and later
on the question OF sewerage etc, will be
taken up. The tract is rolling enough for
good drainage, and it is the intention of
the owners to have the lots of larger size
than usual. possibly nothing less than 100
feet front and 200 feet deep and up to three
and five acre tracts.
Certain limitations will be placed on the
property in order to make it an up to dat e
subdivision and park, but the cost of the
construction of houses will not be Unite
so much the design, so as to add to the
attractiveness of the place. On a section
of this property there is small tract of
woodland within which there is a spring
of water. 1t is the purpose to have this
woodland cleared up and turned into per-
manent park for the benefit of the property
owners. Other features will be brought out
as the property is developed.

..My little boy in the spring OF 1901. when only
an infant of three months, caught the Cuban Itch
from one OF my neighbors' babies. Sores broke out
from his head to the bottom Of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the time He
could not sleep day night had to wheel him
in his carriage most all the while to keep him
STILL He could not bear to have his clothing touch
him. and only light dress is all he could wear.
l can't begin to speak In words the suffering the
poor child had to endure. i called one Of our best
doctors him, and he said he had the Cuban
Itch and his reatment did not do any good. He
seemed to get He suffered so terribly that
my husband said he believed he would have to die.

told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. She said
she cured her little girls ear, which nearly

SUNDAY SHOWS.
Commissioners to Prohibit Certain
Glass of Performances at Theaters.

Glass of Performances at Theaters
The Commissioners are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of promulgating a new police
regulation governing Sunday entertain
ments at theaters operating In Washing
ton. The new regulation was drafted by
Corporation Counsel Thomas and was rec
commended today to the board of Commits
sioners for its approval. 1t restricts
Sunday theaters to furnishing motion pic
lures. stereopticon views, illustrated songs,
lectures and artists not in character cos
tune, and prohibits plays operas, circuses,
exhibition of animals, gymnastics, games.
dances vaudeville performances.
The necessity for some action on the part
of the Commissioners in relation to the
Sunday theaters was called to their atten-
ton several weeks ago by Maj. Sylvester,
chief of police. The matter was referred to
the corporation counsel for a legal opinion
as to what authority the Commissioners
had to draft and promulgate police regu-
lation to cover such cases, and it was dis
covered the only law governing theatrical
performances is confined to public de-
cency" and it was feared by the Commits
sioners that this would not be sufficient
authority upon which to regulate the Sun
day night theaters.
Corporation Counsel Thomas, however,
today submitted an opinion which gives the
Commissioners the proper authority to
regulate lNlS CLASS VI peIloi HldIceS MI
West said the proposed regulation meets
with his approval and that it Is likely it
Will be promulgated within a week or SO.
Several weeks ago Capt. G. H. Williams,
commanding the first police precinct, re-
ported to Maj. Sylvester that criticism had
been made by citizens as to the character
of the Sunday entertainments offered at
various theaterE. He said several of these
had gone far beyond the mere motion pic
ture and musical entertainment and were
furnishing regular vaudeville and theatrical
performances, which he thought to be In
violation of the law for the strict observ-
ance of the Sabbath.
