ters. 324 Indiana avenue northwest.

Is in charge of the work.
DIR. ]. r. Reilly is the dentist in
charge The clinic is open every
Tuesday from 80 to ) pm. and every
Saturday from 9 am. to 1890, boys

ment houses have had teeth filed to
date. and other dental operations per-
formed. Children may secure ap-
pointments by getting in touch with

The dental Office is completely
equipped with modern apparatus. the
gift of District residents. Each child
treated is presented with a tooth
brush and powder, and given instruc-
tions in their proper use. The chill
dren treated range from six to four
teen years old. The dental clinic is
one of the newest as well as most in

De held in the directors room of the
Potomac Savings Bank, Georgetown
tuesday afternoon at l o'clock.
so far as travel is concerned, the
Georgetown-Leesburg pike has been
practically abandoned, thus shutting
on direct motor route from this
city to the Shenandoah valley. The
plan Is to re-establish this communi-
cation and also to give a direct mo-
tor route from Washington to Great
Falls on the Virginia side of the
Potomac.
In order to reach the Shenandoah
valley from Washington by motor it
Is now necessary to drive to Rock
vlie. from there to Ridgeville. then
to Frederick and twelve miles fur
ther. all in Maryland territory, be-
fore connection is made with the
Shenandoah valley. 1t is the object
of the Boosters to do away with
this detour and to open up trade
connections with Washington, Lees
burg and the Shenandoah valley.
The Washington men interested in
the project are Col. Robert N. Har-
