He said Monday he believed the con- certs and lectures broadcast every Sunday would prove of deep inter- est to churchgoers which had in fluenced him to request his church officers to make the experiment.

FAVOR EXTENSION
OF ANAC0ST|A PARK
Army Engineers to Recon-
mend Development Beyond
Benning Road.

Continuation Of the project for the
development of Anacostia Park, by the
reclamation of the area extending
from Benning road to the District line
near Bladensburg, is recommended by
commission of Army engineers con-
sisting of Lieut.. Col. c. o. Sheriff.,
Maj. James O'Connor and Maj. ]. f.
Bell. The report of that commission
will be submitted to Congress next
week by Maj. Gen. Beach, chief of en-
gineers.
For several years Congress has
failed to provide for reclamation work
above Benning bridge. Last year it
called on the engineer commission to
report on the desirability or undesir-
ability of improving that particular
section. If the commission considered
it desirable "and in the interest OF
economy" it was to report its recon-
mendations with such modifica tions of
the original project as were found
possible in decreasing the cost.
The report will not be made public
until it reaches Congress. 1t is
known. however, that the Engineer
Commission fayorS continuing the
general park improvement above
Benning road and that the Fine Arts
commission mas approved the pro-
posed modification of the original
plans. These notifications, while re-
ducing the original estimated cost,
will permit the reclamation of the
swamp lands above Benning road. the
parking of both banks Of the river,
the building of n boulevard to the
District line and the reasonable de-
velopment of kingman lake. The re-
vised plans. 1t is said, also eliminate
the necessity of putting draw spans
in the railroad and highway bridges
at Benning road
1t has been estimated that IL will
cost about S2,000.000 to, complete the
park. according to the original project
The proposed notifications of the
work above Benning road will ma
terially reduce that amount.

by name by the saleswoman. From
there she had gone to a bookstore
and asked for a book which she had
previously ordered.
She was next seen at the soda
water counter of a fruit-and-sweets
shop. where she ordered a maple
sundae. 1t was then exactly 10
minutes after three, the clerk being
able to fix the time so definitely
from the fact that just after he had
set Miss Rangers order before her,
a disturbance had been created by a
customer at the cashiers desk over
a question of correct change. The
alteration had become so heated
that the manager of the place had
been summoned.
Miss Ranger, like every one else
in the shop, had turned to watch
the incident, and then, when 1t had
been settled, she finished her sun
dae and went out.
And from that point, the investi-
gators IA into a blank wall.
After four days of assiduous effort
on the part of the Police Depart
ment, aided now by an army of pri-
vate detectives. no clue had been
unearthed to indicate what had be-
come of her or whittier she had
gone.
Mrs. Ranger was by this time I'M
der the care of physicians, i'll from
grief and worry; and her husband,
his face lined and haggard, his
straight shoulders bowed, looked 20
years older. Even Eustace Highly
showed the effects of the strain.
In desperation they decided to
make the facts public, and every
newspaper in the country was filled
with descriptions of the missing girl.

as a matter of habit, Ranger con-
tinued to go daily in the attempt to
win some surcease from anxiety by
absorbing himself in the accustomed
routine.
So ready was he to listen to every
wild story or suggestion offered him
that it had been found necessary to
post guards before his office door
to protect him from the invasion of
cranks and impostors.
Thus, IN morning, Number One
of the Gordon peremptorily halted a
caller who had attempted to stroll
by him, and who now, with too
much assurance to be pleasing said
that he wished to see Ranger"
