even the tentative limit of $31,551,5O5

however. about s2,500,00O is repre-
sented by increased salaries to police
hremen and other employees.
Although the Commissioners do not
begin hearings at the Treasury until

Bureau are already fairly well in
formed as to the merits of the pro-
jects for which large amounts are
being asked Representatives of the
Budget Bureau have made a number
of trips about the city recently, get

After the Commissioners have been
heard the Budget Bureau heads will
determine whether the final estimates
Tor next year are to remain at the
tentative limit of s31.551,505, or be
increased by the approval of some of
the supplementals.

annually on the 500 assessed value

Cost Is Nominal.
by adding the $93.135.94 to the
present bond issue, it will be neceS-
sary to pay the interest and provide
the sinking fund to retire these bonds
at the end of 20 years" BY adding
35 cents to the 500 of assessable
property, making 81 on the 500 for
the roads in Dranesville district or
l per cent on your assessed value
This equals about onethird of 1
per cent on real value, which, 1 con-
slider, getting one of the most i'm
portant assets for our district at a
very nominal cost. When you take
into consideration the indirect taxes
you are paying for the want of these
roads completed, such as extra gas
and oil; broken springs; cut tires and
extra time consumed, which is a
consequence of inadequate roads. All
Of you realize the motor vehicle has
come to stay and it is up to us to
build roads that will carry them.
There iS not a question in my mind
but the owner of any class of motor
vehicle will pay more taxes for the
want of these roads in indirect tax
as above mentioned, by not having
these roads completed than he will
have to pay to borrow the money
and finish them, and have the benefit
of them at once. In other words.
the question is which is the best
business-to pay 35 cents on the 800
and have the roads at once, or 35
cents on the 500 in indirect taxes
and not have the roads?
THE following reasons are Just
few of the reasons why we should
finish the roads; Take the schools
when they are completed, the children
can get from any distance in ease and
comfort; the certainty of getting any
where you want to go. In case of ILL
ness the doctor can respond to a call
quickly and surely; the advantage of
sending produce to market that would
with district roads be wasted; and the
fact of the inducement to people to
come here and settle and help us de-
velop the community. To prove these
facts, I will quote you a paragraph
in letter written by M. E Church Of
Falls Church to the director general
of the Lee Highway Association.
Since the Lee highway has been built
Falls Church real estate sales
have increased one thousand per cent,
and prices increased one hundred per

1000 MARRIAGE BROKERS
ARE OPERATING IN BERLIN

ny Ine hSSOCl1te0 freSS.
BERLIN, October 11.-Berlin alone
has 1000 marriage brokers. They are
divided into three classes-f1rst-c class
brokers, who deal only with clients
of high social standing; brokers of
the second class, who handle the love
affairs Of the bourgeois; the third
class brokers, who deal only with the
workers.
One of the leading brokers, a
woman with an upper class following,
boasts having made SO matches in
three years, or one for every month.
She says the photograph of no client
has remained in her album more than
a year. Many marriages she arranged
turned out to be love marriages.
This broker admitted that most of
her clients were women with dowries,
whose beauty did not equal their for
tunes. She said the most annoying
feature of her work was the disposi-
tion, both by men and women, to un-
derstate ages. Eventually, aproperly
certified birth certificate must be pro-
duced and the truth often led to the
breaking off of potential matches.

SHORT SKIRT CONDEMNED
BY THEATER DIRECTOR
Bobbed Hair Also Seen Adversely
Affecting Ability of Ac-
tresses in France.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. October 1.-THE revival of
the short, narrow skirt is strongly
condemned by Andre Antonio, former
director of the Odeon Theater and one
of the leading authorities on the
theater in France. -...
Speaking from the standpoint Of the
stage, M. Antonio said he had just
been congratulating himself on the
tendency of women to allow their hair
to resume it's normal length and with
the prospect of being no longer
obliged to see great heroines with
bobbed heads and shaven necks, when
the short skirt fashion came back.
Many actresses Of unquestionable
merit, according to NJ. Antoine, re-
Gently have appeared to lose much
OF their ability because Of the fact
that they wore exaggerated costumes

Scientists have worked out some
theories that will amuse, IL not

as the planet earth gets older the air
around it will disappear. the sense
of smell dying with it. with the result
that humans will have enormous
noses not unlike the trunk of an ele-
phant. AS sound and smell diminish
as the air gets thinner, humans will
also have great bat-like ears, these
scientists say. Added to this worry,
humans may look forward to a COM

Architects Present First Plan
For Great Masonic Shrine Here

to their requirements. they found
nearly every one demanding kitchen
attached to each lodge room. This,
of course, would not only be 'mDrac-
ticable, the architects agreed, but
also tremendously expensive and
wasteful of space.
Grand Banquet Room.
To get around this difficulty they
conceived the idea of a grand BAN
quet room and cafeteria beneath the
plaza, in space that would otherwise
be wasted. In order to give each
lodge an opportunity Of enjoying its
refreshments in private, this hall
would be so arranged that each eve
ming 1t could be divided off into en-
tirely separate dining chambers. each,
however, served by common kitchen.
1t would be possible to reach these
dining rooms from any building OF
the group through covered hallwa ways
The existence of such an audi
torium as the one proposed in the
tentative plan for Temple Heights
would give Washington structure
that has long been needed. When
the plan was Informally discussed
with prominent men and women here
1t was pointed out that the presence
of such an auditorium might even
make 1t possible to bring famous
musical organizations here for con-
certs. such as the Boston Symphony
Orchestra and the Philadelphia Sym
phony Orchestra.
Site Is Historic.
The Dean estate, which was pur-
chased for the proposed Masonic Tenn
pie and is now known as Temple
Heights, represents an integral part
in the history of Washington and
provides suitable place for the con-
struction of such a memorial as Is
now proposed. Long before it be-
came one of the principal residential
estates Of the Capital it was favor
ite meeting place for the Indian
tribes that roamed these parts before
the coming of the white man, accord
ing to tradition.
Among the many beautiful trees
that dot its slopes is one that is
known as Council, Oak. There is an
old tradition that the Indians chained
a pioneer prisoner to that tree many,
many years ago and held him captive
for a long time. He was permitted
to walk around at the length of his
long chain, so the story goes, but was
never given his freedom.
The plans submitted by Mr.. Mar
shall and Mr.. PierSon so arrange the
proposed group that this tree would
be preserved and be in one corner of
the suggested plaza. The house, too.
need not be destroyed Immediately, and
to Washington Masons it already has
at least one fond tradition, for about
a year ago the first Masonic initiation
to be performed on Temple Heights
was completed in the old homestead.

Nature of Complaints
Now the major part of the COM
plants that | have heard, when it
was found out that our original bond
issue would not finish the roads for
which they We're issued, was blaming
the highway department for not MAX
ing the estimates high enough in the
nrSt place. Now TO explain this
Ihelr estimates was based on the fol-
lowing SuppoSition: At the time the
estimates were made the department
thought that labor and material would
come down by the time we started
construction at least - per cent. but
instead, 1t increased over 50 per cent,
which caused these deficits. and for
my part, the only difference | can
see IN making estimates high enough
at that time to complete all of these
ROADS, and issuing enough bonds now
10 complete them, is that we will have
saved one per cent. for nearly two
Years, on the amount of S9313594
w nile TINS does not amount to a great
deal, it is to be considered, and
another thing to be taken into account
Is that these last estimates are based
by the department on a perfect sur
Ney and unit prices.
Now comes the most important
question 20 the taxpayers: What is it
going to cost them to carry these
bonds? l will en6eavor to tell You.
First, the assessable valuation of
property that We can issue bonds on
IN the district is as follows: The town
OF Herndon. 1924 ,629.66. and the dis
trict, 01,eS6.SS, making a total of
s2'I". .'el61i. We now have outstand-
lng Tor roads $4,000 in bonds pay
able in 20 years from the time of

these outstanding bonds and to pro
vide sinking fund to retire them
