CLARENDON. Va, July 2.-Its
last-minute appeals to the Lee High
way Assertion to defer selection of
the Lee boulevard route through Ar
lington County having failed, the Di-
rect.to-the- Bridge Boulevard Associa-
ton will work for adequate and di-
rect route from Falls Church to the
Memorial bridge to meet the require
ments of the thickly populated areas
of the northern part Of the county,
according to an announcement today
by Arthur Orr, chairman OF the as
ISOLATION. A boulevard 100 feet VIDE
is planned, Mr.. Orr states. Not only
do local requirements. he said, make
it necessary for the establishment of
a boulevard wider than the roads in
the county, but the inevitability of
the maj or portion of the tourist traf-
fic using this route, when it becomes
known that it is shorter by about
miles, offers another good reason
for a spacious roadway. Tourists,
he said, ARE bound to take a road
that is the most direct and will prove
g. time-saver, and in planning for the
direct route we must plan 4 road
wider than ordinary 10 accommodate
expected greatly increased traffic.
DR.. S. NJ. Johnson, general director
of the Lee Highway Association, at
the meeting in Washington Audi
forum Wednesday night when the
southerly route was announced for
the Lee boulevard called attention to
the need of a direct route to the
bridge for Clarendon and BallSton
and adjoining communities. suggest
ing that a roadway of 100-foOt width
would amply meet the needs. He
pledged cooperation of the Lee High
way Association in the realization of
such a project.
To further its plans the association
has appointed a committee on right
of way, naming Ashton c. Jones of
Clarendon as chairman. Others are
c. Eugene Doyle. Charles w. Smith,
DR.. John r. Hagan and Clarence r.
Ahalt Mr.. Orr states that the com
mittee will be enlarged as the needs
may require. The committee, it is
announced, will proceed at once to
secure a 100-foot right of way that
will follow straight line as nearly
as possible from Falls Church,
through Clarendon and Ballston and
on to the Memorial bridge.
Announcement is also made by the
association that Mrs. Catherine NJ
Rogers has been named as chairman
of the committee on membership.

were 1850 teachers in the 1924-25
session, last session there were only
6,499.
Mr.. Lancaster pointed out that the
decrease in the counties was due to
consolidation of schools, and attribut-
ed the greater percentage of decrease
in the cities to more efficient distri-
button of work. This, he said, was

FINDS STRANGE cURIo

Charlie Murphy, we'll known prospector and owner of { number of promising proper ties in the Texas Creek section returned last week after al: extended visit in the Yakutat and Port Wells districts to look after his local mining interests.
 MT. Murphy bro !ght back a unique souvenir of his trip in the shape of small sword, o1 a type seldom seen in this part of the world and evidently very old. The weapon is abou. two feet in lengtL. with s. heavy b. adc of wavy tattern closely resembling the Malay kris. Near the handle, the blade is widened to a width of about 4 inches to form the guard, the edges of which are cut in a serrated pattern of ornamental design. One side of the guard is mounted with a narrow loop of beaten silver and the wooden handle is bound to the blade by ferrule of the same metal, which is engraved with a decorative pattern and partially covered by a band of woven fibre. The end of the hilt apparently bore a metal cap at one time but this is now missing, al- though the end of a band of beaten copper shows beneath the fibre wrapping that still remains on the handle. The blade is af remarkably fine steel and shows traces of en- graving or inlay work near the hilt. The curious blade is enclosed in cumbersome wooden scabbard made in two sections which were fastened together with wooden pins.
 MT. Murphy found the weap- on while rummaging in a de- serted settlement in the Port Wells section while looking for an iron to use in calking his boat.
