WIDENING OF FIVE
STREETS PROPOSED
K, Tenth, M, BIadensburg
Road and Eleventh Suggest
ed by Commissioners.

An extensive program of street wild
enng, designed to relieve traffic condi-
! tions on Ave Of the most seriously con-
gested thoroughfares. has been mapped
out by the District Commissioners.
The streets which the Commissioners
propose to widen follow:
K street from Fourteenth to, Six
teenth streets.
Tenth street from F street to Massa-
chusetts avenue.
NJ street from Twenty ninth to
Thirty fifth streets.
Blandensburg road from II street to
the end Of the asphalt
Eleventh street from E to G streets.
Picked As Arteries.
In announcing the plans today, En-
gineer Commissioner Bell explained
that these five streets were picked for
widening because they are principal ar
teries of vehicular traffic and because
agitation for the improvement on these
thoroughfares has been insistent. Maj.
Bell pointed out, however. the proposed
widening of these thoroughfares will
not be carried out if any opposition
develops.
"A puOllC liCd1ih oh eHC SNA
widering program will be held at the
District Building at 10 am. on Sep
tember 5, at which property owners,
motorists and others interested in the
plan will be given an ample oppor-
tunity to express their views. The
Commissioners desire to sound out
public sentiment on the propositions
before asking Cor gress for authority
to go ahead with the work." said
Maj. Bell.
IF no opposition is heard it is pl OBJ
able that two or three of the streets
which seem to have the most merit
can be included in the 1926 estimates.
Legislat ton for assessments in all
cases similar to those provided for
in the widening of Thirteenth street,
now in progress. is proposed"
Maj Bell poir ted out that M street
from Twenty ninth to Thirty-fifth
streets is badly in need OF resurfac-
ing. and this work will have to be
undertaken soon. The widening of
this thoroughfare, he said, could be
more economically done when the
street is improved. At the same time.
better approach to the Key Bridge
will be made
The widening of M street, however.
Will confront the District engineers
with difficult problem AS the side
walks are narrow. 1T may be neces-
sary to move the buildings back.

Dawes experts committee adopted in
the report which they will submit to
the reparations commission.
The report will insist that Germany
will only be able to pay reparations
with the excess of exports over i'm
ports and that foreign credits will be
necessary for the reorganization Of the
nations finances and the balancing of
its budget. 1t is proposed that the

Civic improvement Is
Part of Legion's Work

That the American Legion is or
gained for selfish purposes for vet
Grams only is easily refuted by the
thousand of instances where COM
munity development is made subser-
Went to all else. News Of Legion
participation in every phase Of civic
betterment is received at national
headquarters daily, and recountal Of
this gives rise to the belief that the
Legion is rapidly becoming one of the
foremost movements in the nation for
progress of the community.
The interest attached to many of
these instances of participation by the
Legion men brings realization of the
possibilities of the organization to
many public officials. One of these, a
letter of appreciation of the Legion's
effort, was written by Richmond d.
Moot, chairman of the city planning
commission of Schenectady, N. Y, who
came forward with a letter of endorse
ment of the LegiOn's work in his city.
The letter follows:
in the World war have found another
field of service in time of peace, and
within the last few years, the Schen-
ectady post of the American Legion
has become the leading organization
for civic betterment. Single-handed, it
secured the creation of the city plan
ming commission to plan the future OF
the city; it stopped the illegal issuance
of sewer bonds it created joint COM
mittee to study the city's finances; it
assisted the naturalization authorities
in securing better knowledge Of the
English language on the part of ap-
plicants for citizenship; it has organ
lied and conducted the series of pub
lie meetings to welcome new citizens;
is has conducted a series of essay con-
tests, the latest being on the civic
questions in founding city planning in
the public schools; and annually fur
nishes the schools, both inside and out
side the city, with large number Of
speakers for all patriotic occasions. 1t
neither fears nor favors any little
group or selfish interest, and its mem
bers are being drafted In increasing
numbers for public service. The Lee
gion has become and is destined to
continue the greatest force for con-
structive civic improvement"

LLGION
"FORTY AND EIGHT"
QUARTERS ARE OPEN

HEADQUARTERS Of the Forty and
Eight" the fun-making branch of the
American Legion, has been officially
opened in Indianapolis near national
headquarters of the parent organiza-
ton.
1.-The Forty and Eight" as it is
popularity known, is founded, principally
for fun, and based on the now famous
boxcar in which the men of the A. Il.
f. moved about France. The cars
were destined to hold either forty men
or eight horses, but just how the
French were ever able to crowd SO
many men into so small a space re-
mains a mystery to most Americans.
incidentally, the fun originating from
the travels, of the soldiers in these
cars finds a faithful portrayal in rit-
ualistic work Of the Legion's shrine"
At present the organization has
nearly $50 "voitures," or local chap
ters, scattered throughout the United
States. To become a member of the
organization one must be Legion
naire and have performed some act of
service either for that organization or
ans. 1t counts as members the most
prominent and active LegionnaireS in
the nation
The society has other aims as well
as providing enjoyment for Legion
naires. In many places it takes over
the function of county council of the
Legion, providing funeral escorts for
deceased veterans, raising of funds for
the Legion and other movements, and
assisting the parent organization in
every manner possible. On a national
scale the organization has attempted
to endow fund, earnings which will
be devoted to care of orphaned chill
dren-aside from the Legion's pro-
gram-and an annual assessment is
made on each member for this pur-
pose. AS soon as >this fund reaches
sufficient amount an active program
of relief work among dependents of
World war veterans will be attempted.
