PLAN new HIGHWAY j
AT POTOMAC HEIGHTS

Residents OF Potomac Heights Will
soon have a new highway, connecting
the Conduit and Canal roads, If plans
of the Conduit Road Citizens Asso-
citation are contaminated.
At a meeting held last night in St.
David's Parish Hall the announce
ment was made that the District Com
missioners would open this road II
land was donated for the purpose. A
committee was appointed to procure
the necessary right ofSwsy and work
out a method OF reimbursing those on
whom the donating of such property
would entail a hardship.
The value of this proposed road is
shown by the fact that vehicles on
the Conduit road now have to go all
the way back to Georgetown or out
to Cabin John bridge to get over on
to the Canal road. Potomac Heights
is midway between the two places.
The association was also informed
that Commissioners had appropriated
$4,000 for the construction Of a new
grade school, but that the approval
of Congress was necessary before 1t
could go into effect.

TO LIMIT COAL SUPPLY
FOR NON-ESSENTIALS

A budget plan Of coal distribution
Is being worked out by the Fuel
Administration. Its object is to
bring fuel saving to the point where
It will balance the production. Under
It, industries elassed as not abso-
lutely essential,to the conduct Of the
war will have their fuel supply lin
tied.
Committees representing the large
industries not actually engaged in
war work-more than 100 in all
have been called upon by Fuel Ad-
ministratlon officials to show the
best method OF curtailment in their
own businesses. SO that the least i'm
poTtant portions will be affected.
Their voluntary agreement as to the
amount OF coal to be conserved will
be followed by a Fuel Admiaistra-
tion ordeH making the agreement ef-
fective as regards the whole indus
try.
Among the industries affected are:
artificial ice, glassware.
wall paper. paint, YarniAh and boxboard.

COMET HERALDS
PEACE BY SPRING
!, OR WAR TO 1926

Hncke's comet, which heralded the
great European war in 1914. again ap-
pesripE in the solar system, heraids
the end of the war and world peace
= Peace will be declared by May or
June OF this year, and this will be
brought about by the death of the
Kaiser or his insanity. and a rising OF
the German people.
These are only two OF the many
things that Prof. PosteI, of zancig's
studio, e04 Fourteenth street north
west, reads from the heavens and his
Astrological charts with the reap
pearance OF the famous Encke comet.
4 Prof. Postel Is one OF the astrolo-
gers who predicted the European war
In the latter part of 1913, and also
1redfsted the death of the late EN-
pSFor Franz-Josef of Austria He Is
the first man in thirty years 10 be
presented a gold medal by the British
Academy of Mental Sciences for HIS
research work in astgology.
KaIseT's End Il Near.
THE stars read" said Prof. Postel,
"that q great disaster is to befall the
German ruler in a very short, time.
This is either a sudden, quick death
or complete insanity.
"Encke's comet is in opposition to
his Mercury. meaning insanity. and
to his sun, meaning danger from i'll
health. This latter may be taken TO
include assassination.
Jupiter IL now in the house OF
Gemini. this house being our country's
-
pitious star, may be taken to mean
that around May or June is the best
time, according to the stars, for
world peace. Immediate peace Is i'm
possible because the present signs for
France are not propitious. II looks as
though poor old France is in deep
trouble. which will clear by May or
June. when all the allies fortunes will
be at the best.
But peace had better be declared
before July 1 OF this year. because on
that date Jupiter, Americas guiding
star, leaves the house of Gemini,
which Is America. and leaves this
country unprotected. Some astrol-
oEers claim that IL peace is not here
by that date the war will last until
1925. II such is the case, the conflict
will be carried on probably by a rep
resentative OF the war party in Ger
many or the crown prince and the ris-
ing OF the German people will not
take place.
THE comet crossing the ruling
House OF President Wilson means
that he should guard himself very
carefully from I'll health.
Another important astrological
sign Is that OF Encke's comet crossing
the House OF Cancer which rules
New York city; It is a bad sign. 1t
