TheySay
BY HENRY GEORGE WEISS

Is manhood not within you, courage gone?
Are you but fit to be the slaves you are?
Can you not bear the light of Freedoms dawn
Nor lift your heads to view single star p
Oh tell me true-are you the blind, the dumb
The patient beast of burden that they say?
But stupid dolts from whom no will can come >
To break the bonds and throw the chains away
You toiling serfs that delve below the earth
You rugged ones that plant the generous whea
Are you but fools fit for your masters mirth?
Are you but dust beneath their naughty feet?
And you who toll in factory and mill
Speak! Let me hear! They say you love your
chains;
They say that at their bidding you would kill
To add another dollar to their gains
They say =. they say 49,. and as they sav
The thud of rebel feet, the sullen cry
Of Labor Militant write deep with fear
That on their brows which gives them back the
lie!

1000 Orphans Find Toys Awaiting Them
On Return From EIks' Annual Outing

The thrill that comes once In 4 life.
time! Punch and Judy. toys galore,
q monster band, real live clowns,
merry-go-rounds, roller-coasters and
pink lemonade were only a few Of the
thrills that greeted the 1900 orphan
children or washington and AlexaI-
dria on the twenty first annual Elk
outing and picnic yesterday at Glen
Echo Amusement Park.
The boys and girls, accompanied by
the groWn-ups, who seemed just AZ
thrilled as the youngsters at giving
their charges good time, had q
regular spree. They clambered
saboagd trolleys and busses and were
whisked out to the park, where the
Midway, the Scooter, the Caterpillar
and the other concessions were soon
going at full blast, with young hu-
manity swarming all over the huge
Enclosure with joyful abandon.
Tempting food of every description
was spread out and healthy appetites
kept the Elks, commissary pushed 70
capacity. The members Of B. p. O. r..
Lodge. No. Is, kept things humming
for the horde of excited children.
The Elks' Band, led by Sam Gibson.
played all their favorite tunes, and
the Elks clown troupe in charge Of
Harry Givens, staged good old
fashioned Punch and Judy show.
A real surprise lay in store for the
children when they returned to their
homes last night, for Sam Richards
had shipped Ave truckloads of toys
of every description to the various
asylums while they were out playing.

This morning the children fairly
danced with joy at the Elks gener,

OF base ball paraphernaiia, rubber
balls, dolls Of every kind, miniature
telephones, jingles, even nipples and
pacifiers for the babies, fancy hand
kerchiefs, perfume, harmonious, flags,
horns. whistles, balloons. and count
less other things to bring happiness
to the orphans Of dozen institutions.
Manager Leonard b. Schloss Of
Glen Echo was rewarded for his

that realty spectators had gone
wild. in Arlington and Fairfax
Counties as a result of the discus
sion of plans for locating the Lee
boulevard in undeveloped territory.
In this connection he told or the re-
fusal Of the State Highway Commits
sion to go forward with It's plans
for taking over d pro ected highway
along the ocean front near Cape
Henry and on to Ocean View be-
cause Of the unfortunate activities
of real estate nianipulators In specu-
lating wildly along the right Of way.
The state highway chairman ex-
pressed the hope that such q situ-
alton would not arise with regard
to the Lee boulevard. Gov. Byrd
also emphasized his distaste for
questionable realty speculations" IN
the development of q new highway
and announced his intention to make
q thorough probe of the rumors that
unethical deals had been negotiated
along the Lee boulevard route. In
the event formal complaint was
lodged with him by responsible
parties.

from reliable source that the high
way commission probably could be pre-
vailed upon to set aside precedent and
assume jurisdiction over a 100-foot
right OF way when this matter comes
before itsfor action.
Chairman Shirley announced his
conviction that the State would take
over some road leading to the new
Memorial Bridge, in the interest of
better transportation facilities for
the commonwealth. It Is to the
public interest to have adequate ap-
proaches to that bridge, he explained.
Gov. Byrd stressed his deep inter-
est in the projected Lee boulevard
and made note of the fact that he
has received numerous letters pro-
testing the route selected by the Lee
Highway Association for the APP
proach to the bridge.
He emphasized the point that the
State as yet has no official connec-
ton with the project, except In SO tar
as such a large public enterprise
affects the welfare of the common
wealth and its citizens.
Mr.. Shirley stated he understood

ly will maintain q "hands-of" policy
tn the controversy over the route for
the Virginia approach to the new
bridge until such time as the COM
mission may be called upon to take
that part OF the boulevard into the
State highway system.
The State highway chairman stated
that he confidently expects that II q
free right Of way for q boulevard is
obtained, and this right Of way is Of
tered the State, there will be no diff
ficulty in getting the State to take
over an S0.foot strip of the right of
way for improvement with an 1S-fOot
! strip of paving, as limited by law.
provided that in the Judgment Of the
commission the route Is practical and
best calculates to serve the territory.
This 1S-foot strip later, he said, could
be widened, but the initial width was
restricted.
Is The State could take part Of such q
right of way over under It's present
a2h per cent clause, which permits
the addition Of the State highway sys-
team annually of 2h per cent Of the
mileage of roads not under State con-
troll. Another plan, he asserted, would
be to have special legislation enacted
placing the boulevard under State
SUPERVISION.
In deciding to assume jurisdiction
over such right Of way, however,
disputes as to different routes would
have to be settled in regular public
hearing, MIR. Shirley said. Such
public hearing could be held next De-

1926 already has been decided and
cannot be altered, he stated Aring-
fon County roads were not involved
IN the 1926 program.
Mr.. Shirley made public all CORE
tsoondence which had taken place be-
tween himself and the Lee Highway
Association in connection with the Lee
boulevard, and called attention TO the
fact. that at no time did the highway
commission give the Lee Highway AS
eocfation warrant for believing that It
had decided in favor Of any particular
route.

Highway Commission would have to

Mr.. Shirley declared that a tele-
gram which he sent DIR. Johnson on
June z, to the effect that the State
Highway Commission would assume
jurisdiction over an 80-foot right Of
way, was in response to a query as to
