A TRIP THROUGH NEVADA
 COUNTY IN AN AUTOMOBILE
(By John Tweezer)

ibS JOuu 4Wcc1Srj few days ago was riding through the country in an automobile, looking over the oil fields, and I stopped at farmhouse to inquire the price of land. The proprietor, a man of seventy years showed me over his property and in the course of our conversation I asked him what the prospects were for good roads in front of his place.
 'There wont be any good roads in front of my place if I can help it." he said. II will contribute to building barbed wire fences to keep my family at home and keep others away, but I won't make it easy for my boys to get to town or for the town folks to get out here'
 And with that he chuckled to him. self I didn't try to argue the point with him, because he was old and the chances were he wouldn't change his mind, but it occurred to me that he
  ever he or his neighbors invested in good roads
 His farm was within about an hour and a half of Prescott-when the roads were good. On rainy days it was iso- lated because the road leading up to his place was impossible in an auto mobile. With good roads I suppose there would be plenty of people anx- ions to own this place for farming pur- poses-without good roads on one would want it except as q speculation.
 A few miles farther on the bumpy We stopped alongside a spring branch to let her rest while we ate a picnic lunch.
 From the point we selected there was magnificent view of broad val ley through which flowed winding stream of sparkling water.
 All of this land was for sale or lease in small parcels as numerous signs in- formed us At the particular point we chose for eating lunch there was a ,sign, Keep Off, Private Grounds" We noticed that many other parties pre- ceding us, had disregarded the warn ing, so we took chance.
 But it struck me that the owner of this land was making mistake in warning the people to keep off his land. There was no opportunity for anyone to do any damage because none of it was under cultivation.
 On the other hand, every selfish mo- tive should have prompted him to urge people to use his land for picnic par ties.
 Would not this make the best kind of advertising for him? Would there not. on the law of averages, be many prospective buyers among the touring parties that might stop there? When you have something to sell isn't 1t better to ask people to stop and look at it rather than warn them to move on?
 A prosperous country is the refiec- ton of a prosperous people. No coun- try can be prosperous without good roads. and a cordial welcome to pros pectve investors.

Brewster will be greater in number
than the democrats deserting Reed.
It's because nobody can tell in ad-
vance of the actual count how many
boilers there will be on either ticket
that the result is SO uncertain. IN The
state is normally democratic. The
democrats who fought Reed in the
primaries are not solid bloc. Many
will stay regular at the last minute.
This states democracy is counter
part of the old solid south. 1t was
only due to the masterful orsanlza..
ton perfected by Walter S. Dickey or
Kansas City and other republican
leaders that Missouri went over
100 600 for Harding in 1920:
Senator Reeds victory in the pri-
maries is. of course, the only basis FOR
any forecast. but it is also unsatls-
factory, because. while Breckinridge
Long. who ran against Reed, is man
of high principles. he is not as force
full a character as the present senior
senator from Missouri. AS for MI.
Brewster. he Is more likely to attract
neutrals than was Mr. Long. he is.
in other words. StrGns"r catdlaate
against Senator Reed, and the chances
are he would have won easily this
year if Mr.. Long had won the demo-
cratic nomination.
Senator Reed has made spectacu-
perate desire to win has not inter
fered with his calm and careful polit-
ical tactics. He is not rushing In SO
violently to attack his opponents and
their issues as he was in the primary.
He isn't even answering many OF the
attacks of Mr.. Brewster. He ism I
playing to the VETS but Is trying
hard for the lobar vote.
It's hard. however. for jim Reed
to eliminate invective and sarcasm in
his speeches. Some one asked X. X.
Brewster what his full name was. and
the newspapers printed his reply as:
Reginald Raymond Brewster" jim
Reed always refers to his opponent
now as Reggie" It's his character
istic way of campaigning.
Enemies and friends alike say Jim
Reed will win singlehanded. if he
does triumph. His organization is
secondary. His party support is OF
doubtful value. He is fighting at this
time. however. with a better chance
to win than his opponent. though one
is amazed at the number of demo-
Gratis who supported Long who hint
that they will vote the republican
ticket. but who probably will never
acknowledge the fact. It's anybody's s
race at the finish.

CHARGE VIOLATION
BY HOUSEHOLDERS
WoodIey Place Water Drain
Enters Controversy Over
FiIIed.In Land.

Declaring that the housholders or
Woodley place northwest were VIC.
lating the law in allowing water tC
and that there was no violation of the
law for trucks to use public streets
for transportation purposes, the own
ers of the filled-in ground on the east
side Connecticut avenue between the
avenue and Rock Creek valley, over
which heated controversy RACES
today vigorously denounced actions OF
the householders in attempting to him
der the development of this land.
The trouble dates back. Woodley
place northwest begins at the end OF
Calvert Street bridge. 1t runs for a
short distance toward Chevy Chase
paralleling Connecticut avenue. In
the beginning. and. in fact, up to near
ly the present time. there was barri-
cade at the end of Woodley place to
from dropping off into the valley of
Rock Creek. ON account of an exception
ally steep embankment.
No More Embankment.
This land has been nearly filled in
so that there IS no more embankment
and Woodley place continues on
through on the same level to its inter-
section with Cathedral avenue. The
barricade, however, had never been re-
moved.
\ short time ago a short strip of
paving was put on Woodley road. east
of Connecticut avenue. The District
law prohibits the use of such "a street
until the pavement has become set =

With Woodley place now filled in
there was no more reason. in the
opinion of the owners of the land, for
the barricade. 1t was therefore re-
moved and the trucks went to the
filled-in land via Woodley place.
Householders on that street. who
had long been used to the privacy of
a barricaded street. objected to trucks
passing their homes and using the
street for public thoroughrare,
which the owners claim it is
Hence the argument.
"Street n Private One"
The householders claim that ..le
street is a private one and that the
barricade should not have been re-
moved. The owners of the property

credited highway and that it is no
violation of the law for trucks to
use it
The householders on Woodley place
are deliberately and with no justiti-
cation trying to hinder the develop-
ment of this land" said an owner of
the property. They have run water
onto the street from their hose, which
mas mired several of the trucks work
ing on the job.
The barricade will never be put up
again. Woodley place Is a public
thorouEhfare and there is no more
reason why trucks should not use it
than Connecticut avenue. The paving
on Woodley road has prevented its
use for n time.
As soon as we are allowed we will
go back to it. but it is ridiculous
for househ olders to try to keep
trucks off Woodley place if We choose
to use it.
1T is most emphatically not a
private street and the householders
living on it will have to get used to
that idea. This land development
Will go on and will not he stopped

create mire so that trucks are un-
able to get through"

Blessed Sacrament Spared
As Flames Wreck Church
':Miracle,'' Says Pastor, Vie,oing Ruins

Flames that completely wrecked the
Catholic Church of Our Lady of Vic

road, last night, burned around the
blessed sacrament. leaving that most
holy of all sacred symbols unscathed.
The stroke of fate that saved the
blessed sacrament and destroyed all

Father Yingling held service for the

nited the object.
Finds Church in Flames.
When Father Yingling arrived on
the scene his church was wrapped
in flames. but he attempted to get
to the altar and remove the blessed
sacrament. He was driven back by
the heat and forced to wait until

The blessed sacrament not only
forms the most important part of

Father Yingling placed the loss
from the fire at 100000. No part of

France Let Do,on by Britain
And y. S., Says Viscount Grey
Claims Agreements
With Her We're
Not Kept.
Frees Lloyd George
of Blame for
Condition.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 25.-Considerable
interest has been aroused by Wis
count Grey's allusion, in his address
at Bradford last night, to France
having been "let down" by her allies
since the world war. Viscount Grey
was British foreign secretary at the
outbreak of the war. retiring upon
the formation of the Lloyd George
ministry in 1916
Before we criticize Frances ac-
tons" he said. 'let us realize the
facts. When peace was concluded
France had two agreements, one with
Great Britain and one with the
United States, that she would have
lea If attacked in the future by Ger
many.
Not in Versailles Pact.
These were included in the treaty
Of Versailles, but they were as much
q part of the peace as was the treaty
Of Versailles. They made an enor-
nous difference to France. They are
gone. 1 admit it was not the fault
Of Lloyd Georges government that
they went, but 1t does not mako 1t
any better for France whose fault
it was.
"The great deal of trouble there
has been with France since has been
due to the fact that the whole peace
must have worn a different aspect in
her eyes when those two great safe
guards, whereon she must have SO
greatly relied. disappeared. If these
