TAKE Up CHANGES
IN HIGHWAY PLANS
D. c. Heads to Give Hearing
April 16 on Recommended
tons Made by Commission.

Seven important changes in the
highway plan of the District will be
considered by the Commissioners at
a public hearing in the board room Of
the District Building April Is. The
changes already have been approved
by the co-ordinating committee of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
The principal change provides for
the elimination of a number of pro.
jected streets lying between Ridge
and Conduit roads and the creation of
new ones which will follow natural
topography and make an ideal section
for suburban development. To carry
out the original plan, according to
Melvin C. Hazen. District surveyor,
would cause considerable cutting and
telling of trees and the destruction of
natural topography.
Other Changes Outlined.
The other changes provide for the
elimination of North Capitol street
between Oglethorpe and the Metropol.
itan branch of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad: the elimination of Ames and
w streets between New York avenue
and Adams street, and the rearrange-
ment of other streets in the section
south Of the National Training School
for Boys between Bladensburg road
and the Anacostia River to suit drain
age conditions; the Encouragement of
Beach, Chestnut, Elm, Firtree and
Barnaby streets west OF Rock Creek
at the District line to fit the to-
Biography.
Also the extension of Shepherd
street between Fourteenth and Six
teenth streets in a curved manner in
order to create a thoroughfare CON
Meeting Fourteenth street and Piney
Branch Parkway, which will run
under the Sixteenth Street Bridge
creation of short street connect
ing Naval Observatory Circle with
Wisconsin avenue and the elimination
of Montana avenue between Fifth
street and Lincoln avenue and the
widening and extension of Franklin
street from Fouth street to Michigan
avenue.
This later change will provide an
east and west street between Soldiers
Home and Bladensburg road and
eventually TO Anacostia parkway.

How Can Orailgutan
Be Given Cod Liver
Oil? Zoo Heads Ask

How should cod liver oil be fed
to an triangular?
The baby ape at the Zoo OF that
species. now 2 years old, has got
to swallow a dose a day as a body
builder and Zoo officials anticipate
strenuous objections when the
process starts. The little fellow
is a popular pet and has devel-
oped delicate tastes in food But
the cod liver oil has been pre-
scribed for him by a noted animal
specialist.
A bottle secured yesterday was
tasty enough--it contained alco-
hol to kill the taste of the oil.
After considerable debate it was
decided not to let him have it--for
fear he might develop a hard
liquor appetite and If there is any
thing the Zoo officials do not want
it is an inebriated triangular. His
lips, they are determined, never
shall touch liquor except in the
direst emergency.
So, it seems, the little triangular
must stomach real cod liver oil.
