LADY ASToR IS CALLED !. "DIRTY
 LIAR" IN HOUSE
Labor Member Gets Excit ed at Charges-Others !. Also Make Attack

LONDON, July 24-Lady Astor is unperturbed after brisk ex- change in the House of Commons last night when she was called a "dirty liar" and was finally told by the presiding officer that he would be glad "if the Honorable Lady would kindly keep quiet"
 The discussion centered about the extravagant Boards of Guardians.
 Lady Astcr, mentioning the word of corruption in connection with some Guardians, immediately caus- ed three members to take the floor who pressed her to name a single case.
 Lady Astor gave only a general answer and was asked to withdraw her allegation.
 Epithct Hurled She declined to do so and a La- bor member said that because Lady Astor came from Q country where corruption was so widely known that she was very glib about it. In the heat of the debate the Labor member called Lady Astcr dirty liar"
 Later Lady Astor withdrew her words but maintained the allega- ton was true.
 | The Speaker tried to make peace 1 but the Labor member answered: ! q have had so many insults from this Lady that I am resent ] ing ths.na 3i
 Told to Keep Quiet 1 Meanwhile Lady Astor started debating with another member and was asked to keep quiet by the Speaker. Lady Astor resented this but again she was told to keep quiet by the Speaker and another Labor member then leaped to his feet saying:
 q tell her straight to her cheek that I am better man drunk than she is sober"

ONLY ONE BID MADE
FOR CITY UTILITIES
New York Concerns Offer Of
$3,750,000 for Danville Plants
to Be Rejected.
DISPATCH to The star.

Special Dispatch to The STAG.
DANVILLE, Va, December 24.-The
Peoples Light &c Power Co. of New
York yesterday made bid for the pur-
chase of the city electric plant and the
gas works at $3,750,000. 1t was the
only firm which rendered proposal to
the city council which has deferred &C
ton on it until Monday.
The popular impression here is that
the single bid will be rejected as the
council had made 1t clear when it called
for bids that it would be governed
largely by the ability of the bidder to
assure Danville of new industrial en-
terprises. This the New York concern
was unable to do, though it expressed
readiness to work for new industries.
The bid is of section-wide import
ance, because E. G. Deal, president of
the corporation, outlined, when filing
the bid, plan of bringing electricity to
this entire rural section by the devel-
opment of a generating station in Pat
rick County, 20 miles west of here.
The failure of other concerns to bid
was attributed to two causes. One of
them was the stock market collapse and
the other the fact that the franchise
on which the bids were based was not
satisfactory to some who proposed to
tender proposals.

During 1929, Engineer Duncan states,
several contracts for road building in
Prince Georges and Montgomery Coun-
ties were awarded as late as July and
August, with the result that there are
now number of roads just partly COM
pleted. The new system Is expected to
prove more satisfactory to both the pub
lie and the road commission.
In addition to an effort to operate
more efficiently, it is said the large
amount of road building now under the
direction of the State commission makes
necessary an earlier start.
The number of miles of new roads
built last Summer set new record for
the State.
