New English Dictionary, 48 Years Work,
IL Expected to Be Completed This Year

ing. ana for this purpose all English
books written before 1000 have been
read by scholars all over the world,
as well as thousands of books written
since 1900.
The nearest approach to the New
English Dictionary is the great Ger
man lexicon Of the brothers Grimm,
who also wrote fairy tales in idle mo-
ments. 1t was begun in 1853, but
after 50 years it had reached only it's
thirteenth volume, down to VEG.
Even with its supplements, Littre's
French Dictionary is a small affair
compared with the oxford Dictionary.
Students find that Webster's Diction.
ary cannot be compared to the New
English Dictionary for scope and thor
oughness.
Most of the work on the oxford
Dictionary has been done in the Scrip
torium, little tin tabernacle erected
in DR.. Murray's own garden at Mill
Hill, and in 1891 taken over by Oxford
University.
When the editor started work he
had more than 100000 quotations at
hand and since then has handled
countless numbers.

COMMITTEE CONSIDERS
CIRCLE LAYOUT PLANS
Development at West End of
Bridge Across Anacostia River
Is Outlined.

Tentative plans for the layout of
Commodore Barney Circle, at the west
end Of the bridge across the Ana
costa River at Pennsylvania avenue
southeast, are being considered by the
co-ordinating committee of the Ma.
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission. The committee discussed
the proposal at meeting yesterday,
but there are no funds for immediate
execution Of the plan.
Pennsylvania avenue, which now
runs straight to the bridge, would
curve around the proposed circle ap-
preaching the bridge, and it has been
suggested that the street car line
terminating there would have a loop
in the circle.
The committee also gave further
consideration to the proposal to
straighten to some extent that part
Of Michigan avenue from the vicinity
Of Trinity College to Brookland. It
Is expected legislation to bring this
about will be prepared for presenta.
ton to the next Congress.

DOUGHERTY ELATED
AT PRESIDENTS VIEW
Commissioner Sees Hope for Early
Action on Airport
Project.

Commissioner Dough~rty was elated
today over the firm stand taken by
President Coolidge in support OF the
recommendation that tho Federal Gov
eminent share in the cost Of "Htab-
fishing a municipal airport for Wash
ington.
1t was particularly encouraging to
the Commissioners. 1t was said, that
the President IL prepared 10 approve
any budget recommendation for an
airport in the Capital. II was believ.
ed the Presidents Endorsement OF the
airport project would influence favora-
BILE action by the Budget Bureau when
the airport estimate OF $150,000 is for
warded for approval.
Before the War Department will Is.
sue a permit for the use Of Boiling
Field it will be necessary to have the
Budget Bureau accept the budget es-
innate. President Coolidge on two
occasions has expressed his desire
that the Army air base shall be made
available for mail planes so that the
Post Office Department would desig-
nate Washington as an official stop on
the New York-Atlanta air route.
With the approval of the Budget
Bureau, which is fully expected, the
Commissioners will be in position to
present the airport estimates to Con-
gress Endorsed by every official from
President Coolidge down. The Presi-
dents approval of the Federal Gov
eminent bearing it's share of the ex-
pense is declared TO be the most i'm
portant factor in putting such pro-
gram through Congress.
Commissioner Dougherty gave no
indication today when he would for
ward the initial estimate to the Bud
get Bureau.

FEDERATION ACTS
AGAINST IMAM CAR
Citizens Committee Calls on
Officials, but Finds Them
Out of Town.

An eleventh hour effort to forestall
the contemplated action OF the Pubic
Utilities Commission TO authorize IL
more extensive use of one'man street
cars was initiated today by the pubic
utilities committee OF the Federation
OF Citizens Associations. The COM
mittee held a special meeting late yes

hearing on the legal aspects OF the
case, which it believes have been over
looked by the commission.
The commission is scheduled TO meet
tomorrow morning to definitely deter
mine its policy with respect 10 one,
man street car operations. ana TINS
morning William Mex. Clayton, chair
man OF the utilities committee or the
federation, and Clayton Emig, wee
chairman. called at the District 6uilo'
ing to transmit the committees actloh
at the special meeting.
Officials Out OF City.
They discovered, however, that VIZ
tually all officials Of the commission
and it's attaches had gone to baltimore
to inspect a new type OF motor ous,
so they decided to return tomorrow
morning before the meeting OF the
commission. -.
CLAYTON was vehement in his pro-
test against the contemplated plan or
the commission to authorize the use
of more one.man cars in the face OF
the opposition Of various civic organl'
cations. THE people are entitled to
modern safe and speedy street cars,
he said. This is not time to re-
turn to small-town methods"
"ShouId Retire Obsolete Types"
"Just because the Anacostia Cit.
liens Association seeks a better type
OF one.man car on the Anacostia line
it is not necessary for the commission
to embark on a new policy which
will reverse that of the former COM
mission which had arranged for
early retirement of the obsolete one
man cars.
1.-THE talk about one-man cars pre-
venting a higher rate Of fare should
not confuse the issue. The people
are entitled to decent transportation.
If the situation then causes the COM
pany to seek higher fare that ques-
ton should be decided on its own
merits.
1.-THE running of one-man cars
through one section while another has
two-man cars is certainly discrimi.

not the letter Of the utilities law"
