Imagine. if you will. all Of Washing

with the outside highway system OF the
United States with spacious boulevaroS

No more cobblcStone streets, no more

Such is the picture that would de-

The picture however. is not an idle

House last week and discussed extern

The measure. for the District OF Co.

a fund OF s20.367057 and would make
possible the speeding up of the high

program an estimated time Of from IS

The District Highway Department
records show that only 30S miles. or
slightly more than half OF the streets
Of Washington are now paved with
what is regarded as permanent pave
nlent. Added 10 this are l07 miles OF
rlacadamiZed streets. leaving IT'S miles
o. open and used streets which have
not been paved.
Some estimate OF what the engineer

District could DO with this huge paving
fund is possible from figures OF the de-
partrent which show that a 30-foot
street including curbS costs 10 build
here from $4,000 10 100000 per mile

of the department for last year show
that SS50.o00 was spent for this item

The money would be allotted to the
States under the Federal aid allotment
program, but in so far as the District is
concerned the measure provides that
s per cent shall he used In the Ma
tion's Capital for the improvement OF
its highway system.
Would Attract Tourists.
The outstanding feature. therefore OF
the measure. is that the bill will provide
for the entire United States special
highway building program of S407,54l.- -
las and for the District of Columbia a
sun of more than 90 millions. yet with
out dollar Of added expense TO the
taxpayers.
A recent survey made by the Ameri-
can Motorists Association shows that
the average motorist in city tho size
of Washington spends $40 per day and
that the average motoring party con-
sists of three persons, thus meaning a
total expenditure of $50 per day for
each automobile that comes to Wash
ington on motor tour

at the height of the motoring season
a good highway system. making WASH
ington available 10 motorists from
the North and West. would mean from
purely commercial viewpoint the
bringing to Washin2ton Of 1000 addi-
tional touring automobiles. During the
touring season it is estimated that this
would approximate from S2.5o0,o00 to
$4,000. 900 spent BY visiting tourists.
The purpose Of the highway system,
however the association points out. is
not TO bring to Washington the motor
ist for the purpose Of making money
out of him. but rather for the purpose
Of making Washington. as the Nations

health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps

suffer with sick headache, or dizzy,

you have rheumatism when the
weather is bad, begin drinking lots
of good soft water and get from

the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been

John W. Davis, Democratic pres

radio audience over thirty-tWo sta
lions last night that the issue of
religious tolerance now has become
more important than candidates or
parties or the outcome of the cleo
ton"
THE nomination of a Roman
Catholic has furnished the occa-
sion," Davis said, Ito set on foot
what has all the appearances of a
widespread, organized, and deliber-
ate effort to poison the mind and
pervert the reason of the American
people on this vital question"
Called Historic Justice
In his plea to voters to forget
religious hatreds and prejudices, the
Democratic leader recalled the steps
in early American history which led
to the ideal of federation.
ut is a rare piece of historic JUS
tice that Catholic and a Quaker
should be contending this year for
the highest Office in the gift of their
countrymen," he said.

General Harry S. New before his de-

Washington.
IT believe the sentiment of this
State is strongly for Mr.. Hoover"
said New, "but that sentiment is not
sufficient in itself.
81 have sat i'll the Presidents
Cabinet with Mr.. Hoover for nearly
six years and no man who had the
opportunity to observe another as
1 have had to observe Hoover, do
ing great jobs in times of national
emergency, could fail to form cor
rect estimate of the mans size and
capacity. I doubt if there is an
other man living who understands
the business of the United States
as Herbert Hoover understands it."

SUPREME COURT SUPPORTS
RIGHTS OF PENNSYL-

GATES SUI.

The right of Pennsylvania to con-
denim land owned by James G. Col
gate, for use in connection with the
Conowingo project on the Susque-
hanna river in Maryland, was ap-
proved on Thursday by the Supreme
Court. Most of the power to be
generated will be used in Philada.
Counsel for Mr.. Colgate contend
ed that the Pennsylvania law under
which the land was condemned was
unconstitutional. Most of the mem
bers of the court took issue with
him, insisting that Pennsylvania had
the right to determine whether the
taking of land in that State was for
a public purpose.
After Mr.. Colgate's attorney mad
exhausted all the time allowed him
for argument, the court declined to
hear argument for the companies be-
hind the power project, thus indicat-
ing that at an early opinion day the
court would formally dismiss the
appeal.
