is believed that there will be little
difficulty in this regard. as it is the
belief that Gov. Albert c. Ritchie of
MARYLAND will be strongly behind it.
The present Bradley lane is set
down as the memorial boulevard be-
tween Connecticut and Wisconsin ave
nues. when it will continue to follow
the present Bradley Hills road,
which has 100-foot right of way past
the Congressional Country Club:
where it would connect up with an
other road for the additional two and
half miles to Great Falls. The right
of-way for this road has been obtained.
and, in fact, 1t has been partly graded,
although not yet At for traffic. This
would provide a direct route to the
Falls through virgin territory, un-
surpassed in its Scenic beauty.
AT the Falls 1t Is proposed to es.
tablish as a fitting end to this section
of the boulevard a great park. taking
in all the beauties OF the Falls. The
Government now owns approximately
2o acres at this place, but it is the
proposal of Mr. Merryman that the
Government should increase it's hold

this end in view, it Is proposed

the Virginia members Of the Planning
Commission 10 get their support to
obtain additional holdings for a park

George Washington.
War Department Approves.
From the Falls it is proposed TO
have the roadway loop back and
connect up with the Conduit road.
The War Department has approved,
according to Mr. Aferryma and will
have finished by 1927 a new section Of
Conduit road. which will follow the
conduit from the Falls and along the
canal bank to connect up with the
present Conduit road at the Anglers
Club. This would make a level road
instead of having those using it turn
right and go up over the hill as at
present.

CALIFORNIA MADE
GOODS SELL WELL
IN EAST STATES
(By E. GRANT COvELL)

Many people in the west will be
surprised to know that many Calf
fornia made products find a ready
market in the east.
The Mastcrbilt Wall Fixture COM
pany of Santa Barbara. manufactur-
ers of high class kitchen cabinets,
breakfast hooks, disappearing wal.
seats and so forth, during the past
year have marketed over $1.0O0,000
worth of their product in large east
crn key cities.
Starting with a small factory two
years ago this company has grown
SO rapidly shat they are now manu-
f;cturing their product in a factory
covering 25 acres, the largest wood
working factory west of Chicago.
This proves that products of merit
manufactured i'll the west that are
So available to the greatest lumber
supply in the United States find Il
ready market in eastern cities and
it will be but II short time until the
shipments in wood manufactured
goods from California will far ex-
cced the shipment from the east to
California.
Ii. V. Cowan, incorporated. ar"
distributors for Masterbilt Wall Fix,
lures in California and have during
the last year installed these fixtures
IN the most modern and up to date
apartment houes that have been con
structed i'll Los Angeles and San
Francisco.
One outstanding feature of these
fixtures is the fact that they can be
installed equally as well in old
houses as they can in houses that
are being constructed. BY doing
this they have been able to increase
their market and people with homes
built several years ago can now for
a small cost modernize their kitchen
so that it has all the conveniences
and is highly decorative as the
houses built Mt the present time.
