Chesapeake West Shore.

The two-masted bay schooner John r.
p. Moore, a well known trader to this
city, went ashore early in the week on the
western shore of Chesapeake bay about
three miles below Three Sisters and
near Plum point. 1t is supposed the ves-

bound from the Mattaponi river, Va, to
Baltimore with a load of lumber.
The revenue cutter Apache has gone to

FINE ROADWAY PLANNED
TOARL|NCTON CEMETERY
Will Begin at Highway Bridge.
Bids Soon to Be
Asked For.

Col. Downey. depot quartermaster, is
| completing arrangements for building a
first-class macadam road. with bitumi-
nous surface, about thirty feet wide
from the south end of the Highway
bridge. over the Potomac river, to the
old county road running from Rosslyn
through the Arlington reservation
along the eastern edge of the cemetery
The army appropriation bill passed al
! the last previous session of Congress APP
propriated $4,000 for the projected road
to the Arlington cemetery. The cxecu-
ton of the statute has been delayed, how
ever, because of difficulty in securing the
right through various private
tracts of land, and also because OF the
opposition of the authorities of the agri-
cultural experimental farm, occupying a
portion of the Arlington reservation. to
the route selected through that section.
These difficulties now have been adjusted
and the construction of the road will be
started in the near future. Bids will be
invited for the work and if satisfactory
contract will be made at once.
AS planned, the new road will start
from a point near the south shore line of
the bridge and run in a westerly direction.
on Il line with the Lee mansion. to Il
point near the southeast corner of the Ar
.ington reservation, crossing the southern
end of the Farm section. where a bridge
will be built under the RoSSlyn branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad, and entering
the county road, near the southern line
OF the cemetery.
Road Two and a Quarter Miles Long.
In accordance with the provisions OF
the statute, the county road will be
graded and macadamized from that point
to the northern line of the reservation.
The entire road Improvement covers a
distance of about two and quarter
miles, one mile of which is the stretch
along the county road. 1t will afford en-
trance to the National cemetery through
the Treasury gate, the Mcclellan gate,
the Sheridan gate and the Ord and
Weitzel gate. all four gates being on the
eastern line of the cemetery.
1t is predicted that the proposed
thoroughfare will prove a great con-
venience to Washingtonians desiring to
visit the Arlington cemetery. the military
post at Fort Myer, the naval wireless
station and other points of interest in
that civinity. Access to those points
now is confined mainly to the route
across the Aqueduct bridge and the Mill
tary road to Fort Myer.

PERIL TO CHILDREN IN
TUBERCULOSIS FAMILIES
Compulsory Removal of Patti
ents Advocate as a Pre-
ventive Measure.

The necessity for further municipal con-
troll of tuberculosis was brought out at
an experience meeting held Monday
evening at the rooms of the Association
for the Prevention of tuberculosis. 1t
took, however, the form of a symposium
on the topic: THE Spread of Infection
in Tuberculous Families"
Among those who participated in the
discussion were DIR. A. L. Murray of the
health department, DIR. w. II. Tewks-
bury, superintendent of the Municipal
Tuberculosis Hospital; DIR. Charles A.
Pfender of the Children's Hospital, Miss
Isabel l.. Strong, superintendent of the
Instructive Visiting Nurse Society; Mrs.
Lillian Edwards, Miss Olive Gordon and
Miss NJ. II. Pierson, special visiting
nurses to tuberculous FAMILIES.
Contracted in Childhood.
The point especially emphasized in the
discussion was the necessity for securing
a law for the compulsory removal of
patients who refuse to observe rules of
hygiene. Many cases We're cited where
the disease is contracted because of the
refusal of the patient either to so to the
hospital or to observe ordinary rules of
protection in the home. The danger of
the infection of children WpO are par
ticularly susceptible to the disease was
mentioned by several of the speakers At
tention was called to the conclusions of
investigators whose findings are generally
accepted. namely, that the disease is
almost invariably contracted in child
hood: that where the bodily resistance
is good the germs remain latent, but
where the envi; onment is unfavorable the
germs are likely to become active, the
moral being that everybody should prac-
tice proper rules of hygiene in order to
keep the body resistance strong.
A common cause of infection In the
home, which in the opinion of many of
the speakers does not receive sufficient
attention, is the habit of coughing or
sneeZing without protecting the mouth or
nose by holding hapdke chief in front
of it. The fine spray produced by such
coughing on the part Of an active case

suffering from bronchial trouble, but
the trouble had disappeared during the

He said Tuesday aft ernoon, in conversing relative to the empoyment of a professional settlement worker for Westerly:
 Say, Westerly has its Peoples mis- sion, it's district nurse, it's anti-tuber- culosis society, it's Girls club, Campfire Girls.
