Thomas r.. Bond, well,known Balti-
more realtor and president of the
Bay Ridge Realty Company, de.
velopers of Bay Ridge.
Aside from historic Annapolis
and the United States Naval AGA
denny, the Defense Highway tops a
section OF the country which has
long been a favorite watering place
for Westinghouse. The new road
will enable the Washington bust
ness man to commute between his
summer home on the Severn or
Chesapeake and his Washington
office.
Among the most popular OF
these shore resorts and waterfront
developments" Mr.. Bond stated,
lis Bay Ridge. which has been
known and famed for its excellent
bathing beaches and great native
beauty for quarter OF a century.
With the opening of this high
way has come an increased demand
for waterfront property and sum.

our company is prepared to meet
this demand by means of a newly
adopted plan of building and finan-
cling summer homes at very mod.

bound to bring about
Mr.. Bond is an authority on the
development of short properties. He
acquired his present interest in Bay
Ridge several years ago before the
present interest in Anne Arundel
county property had made itself,
felt. From the first, Mr.. Bond has
had a supreme faith that Annapolis
would develop as the center of a
great summer section, and is counted
not only as a pioneer in the develop
ment of the area but as one of the
foremost OF Anne Arundel county
boosters.
He is one of the men who made
possible the early completion of the
Defense Highway. During the spring
nd summer OF 1926 it looked for
time as il the completion. of the
road would have to be postponed
until 1927 because OF the lack of
funds available to the State Roads
Commission. Mr.. Bond was one Of
the most active in securing the Co
operation of the several citizens of
the territory through which the road
runs to loan the States the necessary
money for the completion of the
highway. As a result of the effort
100000 was pledged and the road
completed.

To
Study Design of

pointed to the staff of the Bureau

to study the cotton situation from
the stand point of the woman con
sumer. She will study design of
cotton fabrics with a view t. learn
ing how they meet or fail to meet
the requirements of women 5 and
children : garments in vogue at the
present time. Style appeal. artistic
and hygienic qualities, and othc=
points which may Influence the con
sumner in choosing between fabrics
of the different tibcrs viii be con
sidcrcd
The purpose of this study by the
Bureau of Home Economics Will be
to find some Of the reasons why
cotton sales for clothing and house
hold use have decreased, and what
changes manufacturers of cotton
fabrics can effect 50 as Ia make
their products meet consumer de
mands.
Through the Extension Service
and connection with State colleges
and universities the Bureau of
Home Economies has contact with
rural women, who probably use
more cotton for clothing than any
other group Of consumers. This
study viii give these women an op-
Portunity to make known their de
SircS and needs to cotton manufact-
urcrS.
Miss Bates will make her head
quarters in New York and will
work in CLOSE cooperation with
cotton manufacturers through the
