SUBURBAN GAINS
SEEN FOR CAPITAL
Head of Sanitary Commits.
sion Outlines Big Increase
in Maryland Homes.

The tremendous increase of the IA
ctlities of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission as a result of
the rapid development of suburban
Maryland was outlined by 7. Howard
Duckett, chairman Of the commission,
at the opening lecture Of the realtors
Friday
The water lines Of this commission
have increased from 81 miles to more
than 400 miles in the past few years,
the speaker pointed out in predicting
a still further tremendous develop
ment of the area included in the COM
mission territory. This area com
prises some 20 square miles, or 90
square miles greater than that occu-
pied by the District Of Columbia.
Mr. Duckett outlined the various
charges made for the services rem
dered by the commission, and ex-
planned that these were kept to the
minimum.
The commission has laid water
mains for practically the entire sub
urban territory OF Maryland north
Of Washington, and according to the
speaker, expects to extend its area
TO the southeastern section of the
District line near the Potomac. The
speaker predicted that there would
be further tremendous growth and
pODuldIlOn UeNelDIfIlelll III ltiS AInl
land suburbs. and declared that he
was at the service of realtors for any
Information or assistance they would
need in assisting this development.
Through the services of the Subur-
ian Sanitary Commission insurance
Yates have been reduced upon certain
types of buildings In connection with
fire hazards, and the citizens have
been afforded service which would
not have been possible under the sys-
tenn Of township taxation The water
rate is something over 81 per month
for $4,000 gallons, while the eXpendi-
lures, he declared, for improvements
amount to possibly millions of dollars
per year. These Expenditures are taken
care Of by bond issues extending over
q period of so years. Mr.. Duckett de-
clared that the people Of suburban
Maryland and the commission are
anxious to do all in their power to
assist the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission in the develop
ment of that section in accordance
with the plans for Washington as the
most beautiful city in the world.
The speaker expressed his opinion
shat in the near future it will be very
difficult to tell where the District ends
and Maryland begins because of the
great growth that is to come in the
outskirts Of the District and Mary
land.

has made an investment

and has paid a price for
it that competition cannot

We have the pick of the

we pay the very highest day

return the best work-con-

We give them the very

this high standard.
There is no other build

CHAPTER XIII

"We're Our Pappy's own--and We
Belong on Nameless."
That night at dusk as Nance sat In
the open door with Sonny browsing In
her lap, Dirk shot out across the yard
like tawny streak and headed away
toward the river.
He made no outcry, but went
straight as dart, and presently there
came the little crack of shod hoofs on
the stones Of Nameless' lip, and a
rider came up out of the farther
shadows with the collie leaping in
ecstasy against his stirrup.
Something frightened in Nance's
throat, thrill shot through her from
head to, foot. That strange surge of
warmth and light seemed to flood her
whole being again.

Youthful Mountains

AS old as the hills means little In
Haiti. for the mountains there are
very young and the earth's crust very
mobile.
DR.. Wendell P. Woodring of the
United States geological survey says
that the rising of these hills prob
ably causes the earthquakes which at
intervals shake the northern part Of
the country. Some of the coral reef
caps cover marine terraces that rise
like gigantic stairs from sea level to
height of about 1.500 feet These
terraces, begun in Miocene times. are
preserved because of the aridity of the
climate and underground drainage.

The man dismounted and came for
ward.
He lifted the boy and kissed him,
holding him on his breast, while he
held out hand to Nance.
At its warm clasp the surging glory
inside her deepened strangely.
Mrs. Allison rose and lighted the
lamp on the table.
"Come in, stranger" she said, "and
set"
Fair came in and Nance presented
him to her two relatives.
Mrs. Allison looked deep in his face
with her discerning eyes as she gave
him her toil-hard hand and nodded
unconsciously.
With Bud 1t was different matter.
There was a faint coldness in his
Young face, sullen disapproval. But
Nance saw none Of these things. Her
ewes were dark with the sudden dila-
ton of the pupils which this mans
presence always caused. There was a
soft excitement in her.
For little while they sat in the
well-worn, well-scrubbed and polished
room which was parlor, dining room
and kitchen, and talked of the warmth
of the season. the many deer that were
in the hills, and such minor matters,
while Sonny clung to the man and de-
voured his face with adoring eyes.
Then the mother, barking back to
the customs Of another time, another
environment, rose, bade goodnight
signaled her son and retired to the in
ner regions.
Bud spoke with studied coldness
and shambled after her.
