ADVISES PUBLICITY
TO OBTAIN ROAD REPAIRS
''hammering

Continued hamm6r1n& away
through publicity at the condition Of
the Washington roads and streets was
suggested as the best means possible
for obtaining their repair in a letter
from Representative Frederick N.
Zihlman to Fred Emory Of the Chevy
Chase Citizens Association. which has
been made public.
when it is considered" states the
letter, that from the Maryland line
at Chevy Chase to the Pennsylvania
line-nearly 200 miles west-there is
not a single mile of road which IL in
the deplorable condition Of Connecti-
cut avenue. the negligence Of Dis
trict officials and of Congress is
strongly emphasized"
Among his suggestions for remedy
ing the condition of roads and streets
in Washington Mr.. Zihlman advocated
a special fund for road work, elm
ination Of intangible property tax on
automobiles and increase in the
tag tax. This would increase the rev.
enue for road work, the representative
believes. and at the same time would
not place a burden upon District tax
payers. 1t would reach a number Of
motorists who come to Washington
for a short time and who are not SUBJ
ject to the Intangible property tax.

SLAUGHTERING IN CITY
FOR MARKET FORBIDDEN
Meat Dealers Notified to Discon-
tinue Staying Of Animals on
Premises Within Fire Limits.

An order has been sent out by Building
Inspector Healy to a dozen meat dealers
in and around the Center market notify
ing them that they must stop slaughter
ing cattle on their premises.
The order is based on a section OF tho
building regulations which states that
no building within the fire limits shall be
used as a slaughter house.
Officials. both In the Office OF the build
ing inspector and the health department,
stated that in their opinion the order
will not apply to the killing Of chickens
in the market
It was learned this afternoon that
some of the firms affected by the or
der are considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
the regulation in court
Some of these dealers. it is understood.
take the position that since they have
been permitted to kill calves for the
trade for a long time past they should
be allowed to continue the practice.
There are several regular abattoirs
outside the city fire limits. and these
firms will probably have to try and
arrange to do their slaughtering at
these places or build their own abattoirs
on the outskirts of the city.

BALLOON OCCUPANTS
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
Aeronauts Barely Miss Rock Creek
Park Trees-Landing Made
at Frederick.

After sailing over the main part OF
Washington and narrowly missing be-
ing caught in the tree tops in Rock
Creek Park. Ave Army officers in a
free balloon which left Boiling Field
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon
returned to Washington by motor to-
day having landed In q field Just be-
yond Frederick, Nd, at o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
The balloon was In charge OF Lieut..
Il. r. Olmstead and carried as passen-
gers Col. oscar Westover and Col. W.
+. Pearson, from the office of the d.
rector Of the air service. and Capt.
Rolf and Lieut. f. c. Cooke.
The balloon drifted over Washing
ton at a height of 1900 feet. going at
the rate of ten miles per hour. but
when above Rock creef It struck a
lighter strata of air and dropped SO
rapidly that the basket brushed the
tree tops. Ballast was hastily thrown
out and the big bag a short time later
had reached height Of 5000 feet.
when air currents carried 1t rapidly
northward.
The descent. near Frederick. was
made in q deal calm. that permitted
landing without dragging the
basket. The gas used in the flight
was that taken from the captive ball
loon used during the air tournament
at Boiling Field last week.

FEW NORMAL GRADUATES.
Institutions Principal Reports
Only II in the 1920 Glass.

Indicative of the shortage of public
school teachers is the number of grad
yates from the Wilson Normal School
this year Figures given out by Miss
Anna NJ Cooling, principal of the in
stitution, show that this year only
seventeen teachers will graduate,
against the previous yearly average
of sixty.
The increase in wages Of District
public school teachers provided for in
the District appropriation bill, which
becomes effective October 1, however
Miss Cooling believes, will have a ten
dency to attract more women into the
teaching profession. Graduation ex-
ercises will be held at the school
June "a.
Graduates of the Wilson Normal
School are given probationary ap-
pointments by the board Of education
for a year. At the end of this period,
if qualified, their appointments are
