COUN TY WILL
BENEFIT BY
BRIDGE
Ruby Lee Minor, Developer OF
Lee Heights, Va, Discusses
Future Of Suburb

No statement by public. official
has been of more interest to the
residents of Arlington county than
the recent declaration of Lieutenant
Colonel Clarence o. Sheriff. that
the new Arlington Memorial bridge
will be ready for traffic in about
half the time it was originally
estimated the construction Of the
bridge would require.
Colonel Sheriff. said that If all
went well, traffic would be going
over the bridge in two and one-half
to three years, the original expec-
tation- being that it would not be
open to traffic for five years.
Colonel Sheriff. added that in all
probability the approaches and
elaborate parkways that are in
cluded in the design would be COM
pleted within a five-year period,
although ten years originally were
allotted for the work.
Colonel Sheriff. is executive and
disbursing officer OF the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission, of
which President Coolidge is chair
man, and is devoting his time to
the early completion Of this struc-
ture, which is planned as the
worlds most imposing memorial.
AS soon as Congress authorized
the construction or the magnificent
new bridge, the certainty o2 the i'm
provement was reflected in greatly
increased real estate buying in Ar
lington county both by home-seek-
ers and investors. The statement
by Colonel Sheriff. in respect to the
II wit 1Nts<
bridge has again stimulated buying
because Of the prospect that the in
creased property values due to the
important Improvement would come
several years in advance Of the
time first expected.
Many observers of real estate
values ami the trend Of develop.

they say, invariably have resulted
in the rapid development of the
communities affected and in a large
increase in land values.
Colonel Sheriff., himself, when
questioned on this point at a recent
public meeting gave it as his Off
hand opinion that land advantage
ously situated in Arlington county
near the new Memorial bridge, II
1t weer now selling for around
$500 an acre, for example, would
as the result OF the coming of the
bridge soon sell for SIS 900 an acre,
or ten times the present price. It
is beiived that Colonel Sheriff.
spoke conservatiyeIy, for the effect
OF the bridge, although only the
first borings are now being made,
is already being felt as far distant
as Fairfax county.
Mrs. Ruby Lee Minar, developer
of Lee Heights on the Lee highway
and dealer in Virginia properties,
stated that an unusual number Of
inquiries are being made for farm
lands and other acreage ten to
thirty miles from Washington in
Arlington, Fairfax and Loudon
counties. The public, she said, ap-
parently is giving serious attention
to the investment possibilities OF
this section and Is beginning to

MOTHER FINDS DAUGHTER
THROUGH RADIO APPEALS

WILLIAMsPoaT, Pa, April Is.
After a separation of more than
twenty years radio appeals by a
mother resulted in happy re-
union with her daughter in this
city.
Mrs. James Bastian, Of Fields
station. near here, mad been search-
ing Tor several. years for her daugh-
ter, who was given over to the
care of a Chicago family when
about three-years old. Every effort
failed until the radio was sug-
gested. Last month messages were
sent out from six broadcasting sta
tons. These were repeated several
times, and last week Mrs. Bastian
received word direct from her
daughter, now a woman, in Fort

They AN thought that somebody was
playing joke on her and that the
diamonds were false, but the next
day somebody suggested taking the
bracelet to q jeweler. Then It was
learned the seventy five diamonds
and forty erneralds were genuine.
Miss Haskell said she had no idea
who could have sent the bracelet,
and her father turned 1t over to
the police. They have been unable
to find any Clue to the identity OF
the sender. Employees at the
Postal Telegraph office Thought
the package had been left there
for delivery by a young man who
did not give any name or address.

He said that the bill made dis

within the limits of the city Of the
parent bank and the establishmant
by such bank of, branches in other
tov
ment of Statewide branches involved
the principle of absenJee banking,
that is to say. the control over local
finance would be taken away from the
locality in which the branchis located
and shifted to some great financial
center in large city. In such a case
n local customer could not deal with
his bankers, as has been the custom in
this country, but would have 10 zeal
with an agent in charge of a branch
bank, who was acting under instFuc-
tions from the head Office which is a
a hundred or so miles away.
In the case. of branch banking
within the city limits, the only ques-
ton involved is the matter of addi-
tiona1 facilities for meeting the needs
of local customers and the dangers
which arise in branch banking would
be absent. He expressed no enthus-
iasm for branch banking even within

ESTABLISH YOUR OWN CREDIT
NO ONE ELSE CAN

There's many a funny quirk In human
nature-if there weren't it wouldn't be human.
For example the average man is prompt
and careful In meeting his bank and business
obligations, especially if he is a young business
man with limited capital. He knows that
every bank note promptly paid makes it
easier to discount the next one that every
merchandise account cleared when due makes
larger next order possible.
In every such transaction the creditor
bank or the creditor-manufacture invariably
says or thinks: "Mac's good riskr'
That's the only way that young or old
"Mac, the Mixers" can possibly establish
credit.
