Water Company Wins
Decision of Circuit Court of City Up
held by Appeals Court

Decision of Circuit Court of City Up
held by Appeals Court
The state court OF appeals mas just
affirmed the decision of the circuit
court of this city. of over which Judge
S G. Brent presided, which gave a
verdict in favor of the Alexandria
Water Company in the suit of Ed
mund Hunt Roberts against the Alex
andria Water Company.
Some time ago the plaintiff sued
out an injunction against the Water
Company to prevent the company cut
ting off the water supply furnished
him through the mains at Cameron
Run. The Water Company claimed it
was advised by the board of health
not to furnish consumers any but fill
tered water and this was the reason
for their attitude.
Under this decision Mr.. Roberts will
have to check up and obtain filtered
water from the company.
Attorney G. L. Boothe represented
the Water Company and Attorneys
j. r. Cation and Son represented Mr.
Roberts.

PIONEER TROOPS
Bows Have Started Saving For Next
Summers Camp

Alexandria Pioneers have started
their Camp Rust savings funds Last
evening the St. Paul's Troop No. l
and the Eagles No. D, the former meet
ing at the parish hall OF st. Paufs
church and the latter at the FIRST
Baptist church, began their funds
which arc TO provide their summers
outing. =,
The boys are acquainted with i.
Camp Rust. thirty of them having
camped their last summer. This was
probably responsible for the enthusl-
asm with which the boys brought their
funds last night. The largest amount
recorded by the youngsters was Sl.50,
while the smallest account began with
the modest sum of two cents The date
of the camp has not yet been decldd
upon but the boys are clamorlng Tor
twelve or fifteen days this summer
instead of ten days which was the
length of the camp last summer.
The boys also decided to have an
indoor athletic meet in the near fu-
ture to parallel the outdoor meet
held in the summer. 1t is probable
that the meet will be held in the
early part of February and the list
of events will include sprints, potato
races, running high and standing
broad jumps, basket ball throw for
distance, troop relays and tugs of
war between the troops.
Older boys and leaders of the
troops will train the boys for the
athletic events and the rivalry between
the troops will doubtless be as keen
as it was in the summer meet. There
are now 6 troops Of Pioneers in the
city and a seventh will be organized
in the near future. There are also two
or three troops of Boy Scouts in
the city and together they constitute
about a dozen troops of boys or
ganized in the city since the. Or
ganization of the Y. NJ c. A. in Alex
andria about two years ago. The AS
sociation is justly proud of this splen-
| did record.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
(From our Special CoSrespondent.)

Washington, Jan. 21.-Appointment
of DR.. Hubert Work as Postmaster
General within the next few days IS
now confidently expected in admins
tration circles. Members of the
Republican National Committee are
certain that the President will name
him, although they say the President
has not yet definitely said so.
Work is now First Assistant Post
master General and in that place has
had active charge of carrying out
of the Hays policies. During the last
campaign he had charge of agricul.
tural propaganda for the Republican
National Committee long with Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace.
Work is considered one of the best
organizers in the country and an eX-
ceedingly able man. That is why Re-
publican politicians, almost to a man
want him to head the Postoffice De-
partment. They believe that ne will
turn out every Democratic postmas-
ter whose four year term has ex-
pired no matter how good record
such office holder has made during
his administration.

his ADMINISTRATOR.
The French government, it was
stated today, has signifed its willing
ness to give up the New York Azores
cable, which formerly extended from
the Azore to Emden. Germany, and
was diverted to Brest by France dur
ing the World War.
This announcement was made IN
connection with recent Italian in
timation that the italian government
would give up its assent to the ar
raneement concluded by the United
States and Japan, together with
Holland for the distribution of the
former German cables in the Pacific
provided the American government
would give to Italy guarantees that
italy would receive "just treatment
in respect of the disposition of the
German cables nthe Atlantic. The
attitude taken by italy alone stands
in the way of an adjustment OF the
Pacific questions. and it is understood
that italy demands the turning over
to her of the New York Azores line.
so that, if and when she lays cable
from Italy to the Azores, she NAV
have direct cable communication with
the United States.

NEW SET COVERS
EXTENSIVE RANGE

A crystal detector set said TO be
capable OF being tuned from $50 to
5000 meter wave lengths is being
manufactured on a large scale by a
local radio apparatus production
company. The set. which was de-
signed by ]. A. willoughby. formerly
of the Bureau of Standards, is In
portable form. A simple change
over swivel switch permits tun-
ing either to a wave length range
between $50 and 500 meters, or be-
tween 1000 and 5000 meters. Tuning
Is then effected by the position of
condenser dial on the face of the re-
ceiver panel. The crystal used Is one
especially selected and tested. the
contact So arranged that any point
OF the crystal touched Is supposedly
sensitive. Four pairs OF phones may
be connected to the set without re-
ducins too much the audibility OF
signals. The set. now manufactured
by the Central Armature Works. is
one OF the most efficient crystal de-
tector sets in use. It may be con-
nected to a straight antenna or by
proper attachment with the ordinary
electric light socket as aerial.
