Just then BY Heck stopped before

Major Bradley stopped caressing his
well-kept gray imperial, walked over to
the dead mans rifle, picked it up and
put It's muzzle to his nose. He scented
fresh powder-smoke. Then he faced
old Ball with a strange, hard glitter
in his blue eyes.

peculiar politeness.
A stir a quickly over the Balls
and TOrreys. Sheriff Flowers called
out:

Dale had by this time worn the keen
edge from his grief by means Of his
great will power. He bowed slightly
to the officer and replied with grave
courtesy:
Believe me, SIR with the very
faintest trace of a smile, 81 am very
much obliged to you"
Luke Moreland led up the sleek
young bay that Bill Dale had named

Into the saddle. He faced the sheriff.

Together they rode through the
woodland toward the broad, green val
ley, with the Littlefords, the More
lands, Major Bradley and Hayes fol-
lowing closely behind them.
Up on the side of David Moreland's
mountain there had been a silent and
unseen witness to the arrest of Bill
Dale. She was hidden behind a
gnarled and twisted clump of sheep

dainty, pure blue dayfiowers-crushing

most recent accomplishment toward

the parade which is to be participa-
ted in by so many organizations OF
the city and which is to be led bv the
Citizens Band, according to Mayor
Smoot The two lodges of Red Men
have already signified their inten-
ton of joining in the parade and
other fraternal and business organi-
cations are now lining up in an eff
fort to have representative con-
tingent in procession. 1t is under
stood that the local Ku Klux Klan
will laso make its first public ap-
pearance at this time.
Alexandria will not be alone in the
celebration of this latest triumph for
from all over the surrounding coun-
ties word is coming that our neigh
bors are to be on hand en- masse to
take an active part in the proceed
ings of the evening.
Formal invitation has been extend
ed the Alexandria Fire Department
to furnish a portion of the paraders
1t has not yet been definitely de-
cided as to the exact hour that the
lights will be flashed on for the first
time but these arrangements will be
completed by Monday it is under
stood and will subsequently be pub
lished in the Gazette.
All that now remains in the path
of the White Way, which extends
from Fairfax street to Patrick street
along King street, is the razing OF
the intricate system of wiring row
strung on the wooden poles that
have so long been an eye-Sore in the
sight of Alexandrians. Promise
however, has been given by the four
public utilities that these poles will
be removed at as early date as is
practicable and that the wire will
either be put into cables which will
be strung from the neat iron pole
that bear the White Way or else be
taken up one of the back streets thus
clearing King street Of the wooden
poles and giving it neater appear
ance which will be in keeping with
the progress being made by the city.
Already the idea of extending the
White Way the entire length of the
main thoroufhfare is occupying a
high place in the minds of some of
the citizens.
The next move is in the interest of
the Greater Alexandria proposed is
the consummation of the projected
Ferry to the MARYLAND shore opno-
site this city. This. in conjunction
with the opening Of the Little River
Turnpike which is expected in the
early spring will give to Alexandra
greater trading territory than it has
enjoyed in its 10 years of existenc"
as a chartered city. The Ferry will
become an actuality within the next
twelve months according to the pro-
genitors of the scheme.

Asks Better Use Of
Women's S VIII Power
Miss Adele Clark Delivers lnsplra-
tional Political Speech Before
Local Woman Voters IinD.

"Use the will power Of the women
for good government urged MISS
Adele Clarke, of Richmond, President
of the State League Of Women Not-,
ers, in her address before the LOCAL
Executive Board and a number on
interested women of the city. inns
meeting, held at the residence OF Dr.
Kate Waller Barrett, was We'll at
tended and Miss Clarke's message en-
Enthusiastically received. Speaking OF
the aims and accomplishments of the
League of Women Voters Miss Clarke
said in part:
"The power that runs government
is will power. Government run by
one mans will power is monarchy.
Government run by the composite
will of the people is democracy. Be
tween these extremes are many forms
of government by groups, either au-
thorized groups, or groups that nave
assumed or usurped power. 1t is the
aim of the League of Women Voters
to have the will power of women used
for good government.
To accomplish this aim, the League
is organized i'm local branches over the
State. The ten Congressional Dis
tricts and thirty counties and eleven
cities are represented by women OF
both parties upon the Board of Dl-
rectors and the Executive Council OF
the League. Individual members are
enrolled in many communities not yet
organized into local leagues.
"The League has divisions of wor';
which deal with Training for Citizen
shin, Legislation and Efficient Govern
ment. 1t works in these divisions
through its standing committees.
Training for Citizenship

training for citizenship were express
ed bv the founder of the League in
Virginia, Lila Meade Valentine, in the
following sentence: We shall COOP

zenship.'

Liberty Bands
Far Below Par
Fatalities In Air Service During Past
Twelve Months Amount To
SiSxty-five.
(Rv Isaac Gregg

Washington, Dec. 9.-The recent re
lapse in prices of Liberty bonds
which brought them below par was
due to conditions in the American
money market and the commercial
and industrial demands for money,
according to high officials of the
Treasury
All liberty issues, or rather all Of
the war issues went to par or better
last July and they stayed above par
until October. Since then they have
been point or two below.
Treasury officials say that the
bonds will be consistently main
tanned at par or better and, every
Treasury policy is shaped with. the
view of maintaining the market for
these issues. With the war bonds at
par. il means that those who sub
scribed their funds to help win the
war can get as much or trifle more
out of the bonds than they paid for
them. For several years after the
armistice there were thousands, if
not millions of people who could not
comprehend why perfectly good
government security for which they
had paid one hundred dollars could
only be sold for amounts as low as
$S5.
In the past two years, Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon has arranged
fiscal transactions of the Treasury
with view to bringing and main
tanning the bonds at par. Hundreds
of millions Of dollars worth have
been bought on the open market and
retired through sinking fund opera
tions. These purchases. increasing
the demand and so materially re-
ducing the supply offered helped the
prices upward.
The toll of fatalities in the past
twelve months in the various branch
es of the air service of the United
States fighting forces has reached a
total of siXty-five. This is inclusive
of the crash of the army plane at
langley Field Wednesday when six
additional names were added to the
record of sacrifices made by the army
the navy and the marine corps to the
DEVELOPMENT of aerial navigation
since January l, 1922.
Here is the death toll for air
crashes since the first of this year:
Army air service, 46; Naval air
service. IL; Marine corps air SER
vice. s. total of 65.
While the number Of accidents to
planes that have resulted in total
wrecks, destruction by fire and
deaths in the twelve months is ad-
mittedly large the total marks very
considerable decrease from the rec
ord of the previous year For the
corresponding period of last year the
number of fatalities for the Army
air. service alone was II while the
Navy and the Marine Corps had
fifty per cent more fatalities.
Practically all of the accidents were
Of the character described as more
or less unavoidable, there having
been very few where the accidents
were accounted to faulty material in
planes or engines or defective de-
signs in the various types used.
