Vidal repeated the denial5 he made in the District Attorneys office, that he ever had promised to marry Miss Whitehurst, or that he had wrenched Il ring from her aftor punching her.
 ''Wo only were good friends said the Spaulard "and the ring was nothing more than d token of friend ship"
 The Spaniard's version of the af- flair was that tho girl had called at his apartment one night and threat encd to Kill herself, whereupon he had called the police. He appeared voluntarily in court to listen to the allegations of Miss Whitehurst. whose lawyer asked for d warrant charging grand larceny in connection with the alleged theft of the ring.
 At this point, the magistrate tried to bring peace With the assertion that Hove heals all wounds"
 "There never has been any love- retorted Vidal
 The court, however suggested a consultation in his chambers and ad journed the case until later with the assertion that "this is no common American gfrl."

VAST FOOD WASTE

The Department of Agriculture says that
$4,000 900 bushels of potatoes from last year
crop have been wasted Some OF them were
left undrg and the rest were allowed to spoil
after digging.
A bushel of potatoes will keep human
being alive for long time, The potato IS
mans most useful vegetable. Along with
meat. fish, eggs or milk it makes an almost
perfect food. How precious those 5O,O00,ooo
bushels would have been this winter in hungry
Europe
: Their waste, perhaps, i; nobody's fault in
particular. There was big crop. Prices III
some sections did not pay for digging or
shipping. So all that wealth and nutrlment
was thrown away
But the loss is everybody's fault. Such
loss, multiplied many times in our agrlcul-
tural production, is an indictment against civil
lization. Industry and commerce should be
able to distribute goods produced IN the
place where they are needed And tiley
could do it. il mankind would devote to this
bic economic problem one-tenth OF the thouSi''
and effort it devotes to war.

ONE ROOM SCHOOL OUT GROWN

Ii is hardly fair to attack the little feu
school house with such violence as group
of representative women did i'll one state re-
Gently They accused that historic edlhce OF
being grossly inefficient, Impractical and TN
scientific" apparently forgetful OF some OF
the excellent work done i'll that type OF Schooi-
house and of the great men and women VINO
have cheerfuly acknowledged that they oD-
t,ined their start in education in the little dis
trict school.
1t cannot be denied however, that what
ever its service in the past, the little req
school hottse is now outgrown by modern ed''-
cational needs. When there are in single
state 1000 schools each Of which has lever
than nine pupils in attendance, it must be ad-
mitted thai the system is not suited to present
needs. The centralized or consolidated school,
wherever it is at all possible, IS big I'M
provemerlt over the one-room and one-teacher
school. 1t encourages attendance and ahoroS
better equipment, more modern and hygiene
conditions, better trained teachers.
Let us not condemn utterly the pioneer
school house, but, grateful to it for the c%-
celent work it did in its time, go on from II
TO the sort OF schools, teachers and teaching
required by the present and future needs OF
the country.

HEARTBEATS BY RADIO

Hands across the sea" may now give place
to hearts across the sea-rot hguratively, but
literally.
DIR. Leo Jacobsohn, a German physician,
recently demonstrated before the Berlin Medl-
cal Society device which amplified the
heartbeats of patient SO that all in the big
auditorium could hear them distinctly. lie
remarked that it was but an obvious step to
combine this mechanism with radio and trans
NIT the heartbeats to any desired distance.
Thus physician in all American city might
keep in touch with patient and give HIM
continuous medical advice, with the patient
anywhere at sea or abroad. Moreover, many
specialists, widely scattered, might listen III
at the same time on patients internal work
ings.
When vision is added to radio outfits, as
it may be some day, the link between here
and there will be complete.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1928,
A BIGGER ALEXANDRIA

The KiwaniS Club has prepared a gigantic
schedule for the building OF Greater Alex
andria. They propose to build good streets,
to clear the dirty places of the city, to sewer
HooffS Rum to build big hotel. to estab-
liSh ferry to Maryland. and to do numerous
other things that will aid the city in its tri-
umphant march forward They also propose
to agitatc the question Of extending the
boundaries Of the city as far north as -Four
Mile Run and this, we believe, is the most
important item included on the recommended
tons submitted to the club yesterday.
For months and months The Gazette has
advocated all OF tha measures recommended
at Yesterdays luncheon and We again reconl-
mend these projects to the consideration OF
all progressive Alexandrians.
The Kwaniaus did 4 good days work
Thursday and it is to be hoped that the pro-
granme will be carried out. This cannot
be one,howeyer by the Kiwanis Club alone.
In order that their efforts may be crowned
with any degree OF success ii is necessary that
everyone cooperatcS to the end that Alexandria
will be one OF the most progressive cities III
the State.
One thing more than any other is import
ant just now and that is the proposed extern
sion OF the city limits to include Our prosper
ing suburbs on the north Arlington County
we understand, is contemplating Incorporating
its entire territory into one municipality. II
this IS done the suburbs OF Alexandria will
suffer terribly BY reason OF their isolation
from the remainder of the settlements of the
county The tax rate viii increase and it
,ar.not be hoped that any great improve
mentS will result On the other hand If
they came into the city OF Alexandria they
might enjoy many improvement. Our pres
cnt street system might be extended north
ward SO that these communities would be di-
rectly connected with the city.
Alexandria needs room to expend aud the
suburbs need room to grow. Alexandria needs
more territory and the suburbs will not profit
in the least by the proposed incorporation OF
the County The city needs the suburbs and
the suburbs need the city.
With this in mind the KiwanianS, the
Chamber of Commerce, the city government
and the citizens should take up this matter
and see that it is placed in top position among
the improvements that are to become Alex
andrias in the year of 1923. 1t is, without
doubt. the most important and, therefore
should receive first and most careful atten
ton.
