BEAUTIFUL TRACT
HANGS In BALANCE
Klingle Ford Valley Com
prises Over Thirty Acres.
DISTRICT NEEDS IT AS PARK
Favorable Action by Congress in
Authorizing 100000 Appropria-
to Use 1t in Extending Rock Creek
Reservation as Contemplated.

One of the most picturesque and nat
urally beautiful spots of ground within
the city limits, Klingle Ford Valley,
which lies opposite the entrance to the
Geological Park, will belong to the Dis
trict if Congress acts favorably on the
amendment to the District appropriation
bill authorizing an appropriation of 800,
600 for the purchase of the land.
Klingle Ford Valley is composed Of a
trifle more than thirty acres of beauti-
fully wooded land and running water, ly-
ing just between the western boundary
of the Zoo and Connecticut and Cathe-
dral avenue, and is a favored spot for
summer picnickers. 1t is one Of the most
attractive places in the whole of Rock
Creek, and by its acquisition, recommend
ed by the Mcmillan Park Commission,
Rock Creek wilIshave rounded out and
preserved its natural boundaries.
Would Afford Entrance.
The real object for which it is intended
by the Commissioners, who have worked
months to secure an appropriation for
its purchase, is to afford a permanent
entrance to the park for residents of Wis
consin avenue and Cathedral Heights and
the thousands of persons to whom Kiln
gle Valley road is a favorite means of
entrance.
The owners of this property were de-
sirous OF Ieveling the hills and filling
in the ravine for building purposes, which
would have effectuaIy closed the road
and destroyed for all time the natural
beauty of the strip. This was foreseen
lo1r hn- iSSiOpnr
ing an encroachment on Rock Creek Park
itself. inasmuch as cheap houses were
to be erected on small sites. which would
have commercialized the Districts most
famous natural park
In selecting Klfngle Ford Valley, we
got that which was least valuable for
building purposes and best adapted for
scenic purposes" Commissioner Judson
said. The land is almost uneIess for
commercial purposes. On account Of the
great expense that would be involved
in the leveling of the hills and the fill
ing of the ravine. 1t was readily seen
that it could be purchased cheaper than
ordinary acreage sells for in that vi
cinity.
Rich in Natural Beauty.
The high hill directly in front Of the
west entrance to the Zoo is a fine point
for observation In fact, a person can
see over the entire park and city, and
take in the natural beauty of the Site
Commissioner Judson further said that
the District would be able to purchase
the tract as refuse land, while, at the
same time, it was most valuable for park
purposes.
OF the $4,000 cost price. the District
Is to pay one-half. with the same pro-
portion in regard to the annual appro-
priation for maintenance and improve
ments.
With the requirement Of this charming
tract, a great stride will be made in
making Washington the city beautiful"
Spectators will have no chance to come
IN and rob the vista to be seen from the
high hills of Klfngle Ford Valley, and
the integrity Of the park win be pre-
served for all time

HOBSON ASKS MORE
ORDNANCE TESTS
Wants LOng-range Expert
mentS on ArmOr Plate.

Representative Hobson, of Alabama, a
member of the Naval Committee Of the
House. will shortly ask Secretary Of the
Navy Meyer to perform additional ord
nance experiments to determine the pene-
tration of service projectiles when fired
at long ranges against armor plate.
The tests held in Chesapeake Bay
several days ago were at range of
about 5000 yards, which is regarded by
military experts as the minimum battle
range. The eight-inch plate was pierced
and the ten-inch plate was partially pene-
trated at this range. The projectiles
were entirely shattered by the contact
with the plate 1t is likely, however,
that additional experiments will be
needed to ascertain what penetration, if
any, can be obtained at the average
battle range of about 1000 yards. 1t Is
probable that these tests will be ordered
by the Navy Department.
In the opinion of some experts, the
ordnance test held last week cannot be
regarded as conclusive, because they
were held at the minimum battle range
of 5000 yards. For this reason, Repre-
sentative Hobson will probably urge that
the same experiment should be performed
at increased ranges.
Discussing the experiment, w. s.
Isham, an ordnance expert, said last
night:
I'VE do not know at what range to
commence firing when approaching an
enemy's battle ships. We do know at
what range our projectiles will penetrate
the armor of an enemy's war vessels.
We also need information as to the vul
nerability OF the armor OF our own battle
ships at the different battle ranges. In
modern warfare, a battle will probably
begin at about 5000 yards, and continue
until the war vessels are within about
L, 900 yards of each other. The minimum
battle range will be about 5000 yards.
For this reason there should be addi-
tional tests to determine the penetration
OF projectiles, not only at 5000 yards,
which was the range in last weeks tests
in the Chesapeake, but also at 1900 and
l6, 900 yards, so that comparative results
may be obtained"
