Westport Police Believe
 Express Robbers Caught

Greenwich, Sept. 1.-Two men in a motor car which was following a truck were arrested here by Sergeant Harvey Allen of Westport today on speculation of having been the men who broke into the west bound rail- road station and express office at Greens Farms during the night. The car was chased from Westport and overhauled here.
 The men who broke into the sta- ton are said to have opened bags of parcel post matter, express packages and other receptacles and strew the contents about the street and on the tracks. Railroad tickets also were taken. The men were taken back to Greens Farms.

AROUND THE HOUSE
dept. of Agr, U. of A.

There is no one feature of
interior decoration that will
make our homes mare cheerful,
more inviting, and more in
keeping with the alluring col
ors of approaching spring than
suitable fabrics hung at the
windows. Proper curtains and
draperies, correctly hung, Gre
ate just the atmosphere that
is needed; and the care given
to the selection and arrange

Window hangings include
opaque shades, glass curtains,
side drapes and valances.

sary in a room. When used,
their color must harmonic

materials for such use. Elab--

Side drapes and valances
give a chance to introduce color
into a room when the glazed

METHODS OF MOCULATTNC
SOY BEAN SEED
By County Agent NJ. C. Vaughn
Georgetown, Delaware

The value of inoculating soy bear
seed at planting time has been thor.
oughly demonstrated for several years
in Sussex County and if you are
planting soy beans for the first time,
it will certainly pay you to take this
precautiOn. 1t is possible, of course,
that your land is already inoculated
but no one can be sure of this as it
requires very little time and expense,
it is much better to be sure. The
two following methods are recon-
mended:
Pure Culture MethOd-This method
is much easier but is no better than
the soil method provided they are both
put on right. The culture comes in
form of a liquid or paste which is dis
solved in water and the beans are
dampened just before seeding. Care
must be taken not to let the beans dry
in the sun as this will kill the bacter-
ia. Culture can be obtained from any
biological manufacturing house and
quite a number of seed dealers in the
county are carrying soy bean culture.
Soil MethOd-This method has given
just as good results as the pure cul-
ture. 1t consists of mixing a little soil
taken from a field where soy beans
grew that were inOculated last year
and mixing it with the seed. One to
two gallons of good soil is sufficient
for a bushel of beans but care must
be taken in getting soil right from
where the soy bean roots were last
year. recommend that the first inch
of soil be removed and then take the
next two or three inches, then you
will be sure to get plenty of the bac-
terra. If beans are going to be seed
ed with drill or planter, it is well
to use a little glue water to dampen
the soil and beans With-One half lb.
Of pulVerized glue dissolved in a little
hot water then added to a gallon of
cold water, will be sufficient for eight
to ten bushels. A good plan is to
dump the beans on a tight floor, mix
The soil thoroughly with them and
hen sprinkle the glue water over this
mixture and thoroughly stir the beans
and soil until the beans will look dirty
then spread them out in the shade
md in couple of hours you can be-
gin drilling them. The glue water will |
make the particle of soil stick to the |
)eahs. The soil can be secured now in /
almost every community.
These methods apply also to alfalfa
Japan clover-scarlet cloVer-cOw- /
peas and all of the legumes that re-
luire inOculation.

UNITED STATES NOT SOLVING
ROAD PROBLEM, CLAIMED
National Highway Commission
Necessary

AT a convention called by President
Coolidge, in Washington, to consider
the subject OF Outdoor Recreation,
Dr. S. M. Johnson, vice president of
the National Highways Association,
spoke on the subject of National
Highways and National Parks. In the
course of his remarks he brought out
the fact that in spite of the enormous
sums of money now being spent on
roads, the problem is not being met
in any effective way. He said, in part:
"The Federal Government is not
backing the rOad-building program as
it should. In addition to this, the
present plan, under which Congress
apprOpriates money and distributes it
to the States to be expended in the
construction of the Federal aid sys-
TEN of roads, while vast improve
ment upon the policy is superseded, is
not resulting in a proper degree oil
concentration upon the main trunk
lines which are needed to connect
section with section, seacoast with
mountain, coast with coast, the frozen
north with the sunny skies of Florida
and the southern tier of States; and
the rest of the United States with
such recreational areas as those OF
New England and New York, the
southern highlands and the great Ma
tional Parks. This is due in no part to
Mr.. Macdonald, chief of the Bureau
of Public Roads, or to his associates,
but to the policy and in some in
stances the law of some of the States
in which Federal funds are being ap-
piled to the building of roads of lesser
consequence to the neglect of great
through routes reaching from ocean
to ocean.
"The remedy for this condition is to
nationalize the great arterial roads,
such as serve the whole Nation. The
Congress should create a National
Highway and Parkway Commission
Selection should be made of certain
arterial roads north and south and
east and west for first completion.
The States and counties should be re-
imbursed for all they have expended
on these roads and the Federal Gov
ernment should take them over and
finish them without further delay at
its own expense, and thereafter bear
all the cost of keeping them in perfect
condition.
"The scope of this work should in
clude parkways. Wherever these great
main trunk lines traverse forests, a
right of way at least 1000 feet wide |
on either side should be secured and |
forever preserved as part of the |
roadside landscape"

PRESIDENT STRESSES

Memorial Bridge Recommendations
Important

Senate Document No 95 contains
the Presidents recommendation re
garding the proposed MemOria
Bridge connecting Arlington, the Ma
tional Cemetery, with Washington. II
quotes President Coolidge, in part, as
follows:
"The Arlington Memorial Bridg.
project has many important features
which will make it the greatest single
memorial project undertaken by any
nation in recent times.
Following Immediately after the
s. Lincoln Memorial in time of cOnstruc-
tion it fortunately supplements and
completes that great memorial in fin
ishing the landscape in its vicinity
and carries the Mall treatment OF
Washington and L'Enfant across the
Potomac to Arlington and up to the
last resting place of the designer of
the original plan of the Capital at the
portico of the Lee Mansion.
I'm addition to this relationship,
there is the compelling patriotic mo-
tive in the project of a direct broad
Voulevard from the Capitol by way of
the Lincoln Memorial and on across
the broad and digniied bridge as a
route for the Nationals fallen heroes
to their last resting place in the Ar
lingtOn National Cemetery.
"There is a third great motive in
the complete plan, and that is the pro
vision of a magnificent entrance to
Washington from Virginia for the
Lee Highway coming across the en-
tire country from Los Angeles, Calf
fUyI, a
est of all, is the symbol of the binding
together of the North and South in
one indivisible Union, knowing no sec
tiOnal lines.
"a superb view of the bridge, the
Lincoln Memorial, the Washington
Monument, and the Capitol will be en-
jOyed by the traveller entering the
Nations Capitol over this route. From
the Arlington Heights the Lee High
way would descend toward Washing !
ton, keeping on the axis of the Mall, |
passing over the stream between the |
mainland and Columbia Island by a |
bridge; and across the |
axis of the island, continuing its |
course to the waters edge on the
main channel, where it is planned to
construct a water gate facing and
to that of the Lincoln
Memorial previously described.
