NEW BOULEVARD
{ WILL AVOID CITIES
Lee Highway Official Says
New Market Route Will
Dodge Congested Zones.

The proposed 200-foot boulevard
connecting Lafayette National Park
at Bar Harbor, Me, with the Shenan
doah National Park and the Valley OF
Virginia at New Market will go out.
side all cities and towns in order to
avoid traffic congestion, DIR. S. M.
Johnson, managing director of the
Lee Highway Association, said today
in letter to c. j. Balliett, an officer
of a development company at New
Market.
DIR. Johnson said Army engineers,
headed by Maj. Carey II. Brown of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, are expected to be
in New Market in a few days to lay
out the section of the road near that
town.
Congestion to BE DOdged.
Our plan is being developed on the
principle of by-passing every town or
city in order TO avoid traffic conges-
tion," DR.. Johnson said. THE towns
recognize the necessity for this. for it
will not be many years until as many
as 100000 cars a day will be using this
motorway. 1t will be impossible to
widen the main streets of towns like
New Market to take care of this
volume of travel in addition to local
use for transit and parking along the
main street.
Furthermore, the location of by
pass from the present Lee Highway
to the Valley pike as one goes in
either direction from New Market will
mean the development of a fine. new
residential section which will add
much to the population and aSSeSSible
wealth of New Market.
Our organization is pushing as
rapidly as possible the survey of the
location of the bypass which will be
made as close to New Market as en-
gineering and other conditions will
permit. Maj. Carey H. Brown of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and the State Highway
Commission of Virginia will assist us
In making the location, and l hope
the engineers may be on the ground
within 10 days.
Quick Action Planned.
Our program involves quick action
by private property owners in the
actual construction of sections of the
boulevard just as soon as survey has
been completed and location made.
We are pleased, therefore, to be ad-
vised that you are prepared to begin
actual work in the near future"
About So per cent of the 200-foot
right of way between the west end
of Arlington Bridge through Arlington
County to New Market has already
been secured. Although the exact To-
cation of the Lee Boulevard through
Arlington County has not been made
known, except in a general way, Dr.
Johnson has stated that it would
avoid all towns for its entire length
and would travel generally through
thinly settled sections of the country

sUnian Institution.
This was the work of an itinerant
Universalist minister, Abel Fletcher,
at Massilon. Ohio, in 1S45 The only
method of photography believed to
have been known in the United States
at that time was the making of
dagucrreotypos. This did not permit
any copies to be made. a separate
sitting was required for each picture.
About 1899 Fox Talbot in England
invented method of making paper
negatives from which reproductions
could be made. which is the foundation
of modern photography. Talbot. how.
ever, patented his process, and it came
into use very slowly.
Possibly Ranks as CO-Inventor.
There is considerable doubt whether
Fletcher had in some way learned of
the methods Of Fox Talbot or whether
he had struck out on an entirely new
line. If the latter is true, he must be
considered practically as a co-inventor
of photography with Talbot.
Nothing Is known OF MS process.
After he had made few negatives
he was blinded by an explosion of con-
centrated ammonia in his laboratory
and remained totally blind until his
death in 1890. The name of this oh.

"a star is in effect nothing but a
novel view of stellar structure advo-
Gated by DR.. j. H. Jeans, secretary
of the Royal Society of London.
The interior of star, according to
his theory, is hotter and heavier than
the exterior. At the surface of the
sun, for example. the temperature is
only about 5000 degrees centigrade,
a temperature attainable in the labo-
ratory. But in the center of the sun
the temperature rises to the enormous
figure Of 20 million degrees. Sirius.
the Dog Star. is supposed TO be twice
as hot as the sun.
The density or specific gravity of
the sun as a whole is Ia times that
of water. and one-fourtn that of the
earth. But The core of the sun Is cal
culated to have a density of 800. com
pared with water. This is ID times
as heavy as the metal platinum. No
element on earth comes anywhere
near this figure in density. Some 80
or 95 per cent of the mass of the star
must then be concentrated in a cen
trail sphere of half the radius and one
eighth the volume Of the star.
Stars EvapOrate OFF.
This DR.. Jeans explains on the sup
position that the dense interior is com
posed Of heavier atoms than any
found on earth. The heaviest atom
on earth is uranium, and this is SO
unwieldy and complex that it is con-
tinually breaking down spontaneously
into smaller atoms and giving Off
enormous amounts of energy in the
form of rays resembling the X-rays.
but Of much higher frequency. The
radioactive elements, like uranium
and radium, probably represent the
last surviving vestiges of more vigor-
Gus primeval matter" of the stars
which is breaking down into lighter
and more permanent elements, such
as we see on earth. The youngest
and largest stars must consist mostly
of such bulky unstable atoms, and
| these evaporate off in radiation, like
| the X-rays and other wave lengths,
in the course of millions of millions
of years, leaving ball of burnt-out
ashes like the cinder on which we
live. The evolution of a star is. there

famous definition of evolution.

when these come into contact the op'

annihilated. AS DIR. Jeans describes

Throughout stars interior, cleo

stroy one another, the energy of their
fall being set free as radiation

The heroine had been lured from her

The villain tried to make her take a

glass to her lips, farmers wife arose
suddenly in her seat, as if she had
been playing in the act, and, waving
her arms commandingly, shouted in
loud voice:
Don't drink that stuff, little girl.
The company got nervous, some
thinking the interruption might
break up the play. But it didn't.
Beulah caught the situation and, as

threw the glass to the floor and cried:
