RLINGTON BRIDGE
BILL BEFORE HOUSE
MEETS OPPOSITION
Continued from First Page.)

Arlington Cemetery on the Highway
Bridge and at both ends of the Key
Bridge. This condition will RAPIDLY
grow worse, on account of the enormous
Increase in the number of visitors COM
Ing to Washington by automobile as a
result of the completion of the Lee
highway and other highway projects
under the Federal aid system, to say
nothing of the growth Of the suburban
population Of the city.
1t was also emphasized that conse-
quent to the building of this bridge
there will be developed a magnificent
thoroughfare along the Mali leading
from the Capitol to the Nations
shrine at Arlington which will relieve
much of the traffic congestion on
Pennsylvania avenue, and especially
at such points as Fifteenth street.
When the bill was first called up
Representative Blanton of Texas
raised the question that the commit
tee on public buildings and grounds
did not have proper jurisdl stion. The
first Indications Of the attitude of
the House on this measure was shown
in the vote Of ISL to 5S against Mr..
Blanton's point of order.
Speakers For and Against.
Among those who spoke in favor
of the measure were Representatives
Elliott of Indiana, Montague of Vir-
ginia, Cramton of Michigan, Moore
of Virginia and Almon of Alabama
Among those who spoke against 1T
were Representatives Lanham of
Texas, Byrns Of Tennessee, Johnson
Of Kentucky and Howard of Okla
homa.
Representative Montague spoke on
tho great relief to traffic that this
memorial structure would afford and
of the proper approach it would give
for ceremonies at the nations shrine,
Arlington Cemetery. Representative
Moore discussed two phases of this
legislation. He stressed that the
traffic to Arlington Cemetery on ex-
traordinary occasions cannot be ac-
commodated by the existing bridges
while the ordinary traffic between
Washington and Virginia can be COM
fortably accommodated. Therefore, he
argued, this bridge is needed for Ma
tional ceremonies rather than to ac-
commodate local needs.
He brushed aside the question Of
economy by pointing out forcefully
that the President of the United
States, who more than any other in
dividual personifies the spirit of
economy, has unhesitatfngly recon-
mended construction Of this bridge.
Representative Almon declared that
this is not a local improvement, but
a national memorial utilitarian and
one of which all the people of the
country will feel Justly proud.

Don TyIers Interest.
Don Tyler, when asked to tell, for
the benefit of pupils now entering
the 1925, how he became interested
in the contest, what it meant to him
and the actual method which he fol-
lowed in preparing his GRAFTON, wired
the national headquarters as follows:
THE fact that there is popular de
mand for the repetition of the Ma
tionaI Oratorial Contest certainly
shows that success begets success.
The 1928 contest, which was local
in Southern California and was
sponsored by the Los Angeles Times.
QlQ not, TlRnI at the outset, arouse
a great deal of interest in my par
ticular school, but as the contest
moved along the enthusiasm mounted
steadily and L was among those who
regretted not having participated.
when the contest was first an
nounced for 1924 upon national scale
our principal asked the winner of the
previous local contest to address our
student body. AS / listened to his
stirring account of what his expert
ence had meant to him l resolved
that I would lay aside other special
activities and devote my time in
tensively to preparation for this con-
test
THE plan which followed was
simple enough. 1 talked first with
our school representative of the pre-
vious year, with the winuer of the
southern California contest and with
English and history teachers. 1 next
utilized to the utmost the photography
and the suggestions which had been
offered as part of the contest ma
terial.
"As I began to get into the subject
the idea became bigger and bigger.
The theme became a warm, pulsing
thing of life, and the lives of the
founders of our country took on
new significance. 1t was this realiza-
ton of the humanness of the Consti-
tuition, and its great strength as the
bulwark of our Republic that has
meant just as much to me as the JOY
of victory or the substantial reward
received"

AMHERST, Mass, February 1S.-
A sound resembling a human sigh is
produced when the atoms of iron are
stirred by a magnet placed near the
metal, Prof. S. R Williams of AM
herst College announced today. The
sound, he said, was detected by a
very sensitive ampliner used in a
series of experiments aiming to CO.
relate the changes of the length Of
steel when 1t is magnetized and the
noise produced by magnetization.
The application Of the principle OF
adjudication to the study of magnet

Al IN LAND OFFICE
DEPRIVED OF Jobs
So "SurpIus" Employees Fur
Ioughed Without Pay and
II Are Retired.

Separation of Al employees of the
General Land ONCE from the govern
ment service was annuonced today
by Secretary of the Interior Work.
Thirty-six surplus" employees were
furloughed without pay effective
March 1, while II other surplus en-
ployes have been retired. A reduc-
tion in the force of the General Land
Office is being made, Secretary Work
explained, in accordance with the
policy OF the Interior Department to
get the daily work out promptly with
the minimum number of employees
necessary and to keep the expendi-
lures within the appropriations made
by Congress. The General Land Of
fee appropriation for the fiscal year,
1925, is approximately $4,000 lower
than that for 1925.
Secretary Works Statement.
The Interior Secretary explained
that of the total of Al employees dis
continued, IL have been retired un-
der the retirement act, and 36 will be
placed on March l in a non-pay status
until July /, so that as many Of them
as possible may be recalled to duty
in case any vacancies occur before
that date in the General Land ONCE.
Mr. Work made 1t plain that these
employees do not lost their civil serv-
ice status and are eligible for recall
or transfer to other departments.
The decrease in personnel an
nounced today came about as re-
suit of a survey inaugurated by Sec
retary Work several weeks ago for
the purpose of co-ordinating the ac-
tfvfties of the General Land ONCE,
abolishing the non-essential work of
its various divisions, and making the
necessary changes in office methods
and personnel. Tho survey is not yet
completed.
Falling of in the public land busi-
ness of the Government was ascribed
by the Interior Department today to
the fact that virtually all the fertile
public lands have already been home
steaded,. and most of the remaining
lands are not susceptible of cultiva-
ton or capable of producing liveli-
hood for family.
Statistical Showing Cited.
Statistics Just compiled show that
ock-raising entries over the last
Ave years have decreased more than
so per cent, while original home-
stead entries on the public domain
have decreased even a little more In
the last four years.
Disposition Of isolated tracts of
land belonging to the Government by
public auction during the last five
years also has diminished, the In
terror Department said, indicating
that the amount Of public land that
may be offered through public sales
to the highest bidders is gradually
disappearing. While in 1920 the Gem
eral. Land ONCE conducted 1888 pub
lie auctions In 1924 the number had
fallen to 423. Auction sales on aban-
doned military reservations last year
reached the lowest figure in the his
tory Of thA 0sneeA Land Once.

LabOrers ill Dispute,
 One Fined for Assault

Samuel Fernerille of 34 Lafayette street was fined S5 and costs by Judge Benjamin w. Alling in police court this morning when he was found guilty of assaulting Louis Buchella of 3S0 Elm street. He was arrested yesterday by Sergeant John ]. King on Main street, where both men are employed on a construction job.
 According to the evidence Buchello has charge of the operation of a cement mixer, while Fernerilie is employed carrying bags of cement to the machine, Tuesday Fernerilie claims that Buchella complained that he was piling the bags too close to the mixer and had them set back about 10 feet. Yesterday Fernerilie said that he was placing the bags at the same distance when Buchella complained to a foreman that they were being piled too far away. This angered him and an argument fol- lowed between the two men that re- suited in the assault. Fernerilie said that he only slapped Buchella with his open hand. Court officials, after looking at Buchillo's face, wondered if there would be anything left of it at all if Fernerlie had struck him hard blow with his fist

GERMANY INSISTS
 UPON NEUTRALITY
This Would Be Only Reservation
 in Joining League

Locarno, Switzerland, Oct. S R,-- Although M. Briand tho French for eign minister and pr. Luther. Ger many's chancellor in the quitetude Of a secluded spot on Lake Maggiore yesterday had heart to heart talk on tho subject how best to bring about lasting peace In Europe, Ger many continues to pursue persistent ly q campaign against permitting German soil 10 be used as a theater to combat in any possible war among her neighbors.
 Such utilization of German terrl- tory would be conceivable under the provisions of the covenant of tho league ot nations concerning movements of troops against a war ring nation. Both M. Briand and pr. Luther expressed the determina- ton to do everything humanly pos sible to provide against future war fare and for an enduring peace.
 Ky far the meeting of the French and German statesmen on the shore .of Lake Maggiore. whore they went quietly to get away from the other security conference delegates in Locarno so that they might discuss without hamper the weighty pro- blems confronting France and Ger many, was the most outstanding feature of the security negotiations since they began. It served to inject high degree of optimism fin the observers of the situation here.
 But Germany still wants the all lies as members of the league of nations to subscribe to the German interpretation of the covenant of the league which will permit Ger many like Switzerland. to maintain her neutrality. This would mean exceptional treatment for Germany which the allies feel they are not authorized to countenance,
 The German spokesmen said today that if they could claim the aid of the allies in this respect. Germany would enter the league of nations without any other reservation. They added, however, that Germany must remain adamant in refusing France permission to guarantee the full fillment of Germany's arbitration treaties with Poland and Czecho- slovakia,

Device Invented by Hart ford Architect to Have First Trial in New Britain.

The New Britain police depart ment will be given tho first oppor- tunity to test a new traffic device, designed by Adolf Feinberg of 49 Belden street Hartford, and which has been pronounced by police oifl- cials and newspapermen who watched it in operation yesterday one of the most thoroughly scien- tiic and unique inventions of its kind ever shown here.
 MT. Feinberg is an architect with offices Tn Hartford. His signal sys- tenn is the product of several years work. Having completed the task while at work supervising the erec- ton of the Beloin garage on Church street and the new Jewish syna- gogue on Winter street, plans for both of which he had prepared, MT. Feinberg decided to submit the idea for test before tho Hardware city authorities on traffic.
 The traffic post consists of inc usual concrete or metallic base con- atruction, surmounted by a cylin- drical mirror made up of a number of five-inch panels lying at about a 30-degree angle. Attached to the mirror Is a series of red reflex lenses, legalizing the system for night use There Is no maintenance costs, such as lighting, wiring, etc, and the initial outlay is from 60 to 70 per cent lower than the medium priced traffic systems, Architect Weinberg explains.
 With base about 36 inches in height and the mirror standing 40 inches. the entire stand will be 76 inches in height.
 The system is designed particular 1y for placement at the point of Intersection on a main highway where a blind street" joins. Drivers coming down the blind street" are able, by looking at the mirror, to determine the approach of a car in &Nther direction from a point 150 Beet away. The slanting mirrors make u DDSSlPlt tb Stt lIlt app otitil- ing cars. regardless of the angle at which a person looks at the post, for he moving machine is "brought up" along the axis. Determination of just what the pitch must be was 3, mathematical problem that con- sumed long study. research and ex' pertinent MT. Feinberg believes he has now perfected the system and an inspection of small model brought to this city yesterday in dicated the practicability of the plan to city officials and news papermen.
 Chairman David l.. Dunn of the police board expressed himself as favorably impressed with the idea following yesterdays showing.
 Mr.. Feinberg plans to begin the manufacture of the traffic systems about the first of January in Chi cago.
 The designer has been resident of Hartford for nearly five years. He was educated In Vienna,
