COMMUNITY HOUSE
URGED FOR LEGION
Project to Be Suggested at
Next Meeting of Airing
ton Post.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,

GLEBEWOoD, Va, June 24.-Erec-
ton Of an American Legion community
home Is to be proposed at the next
meeting of the Arlington Post by Rob-
ert H. Forman, member, he revealed
today.
According to Forman, the Arlington
Post has been contemplating the erec-
ton of q building for the exclusive
use of the post, but has made no pro-
vision for other activities that could well
be conducted in the same building and
that would be advantageous to the post
The tentative plan that he will pre-
sent to his fellow members is that the
building have q clubroom in which
members could hold their meetings and
social affairs; q library room for the
members and the general public and q
day nursery, where mothers who are
forced to work to care for their chill
dren could leave them while they are
at their places of employment.
A day nursery, with salaried nurse
to care for the children, Is of far great
er Importance to the county than any
thing else ever suggested for the or
ganization, Forman thinks, and he ex-
poets to put forth every effort to have
the idea materialized.
The nursery would be supported by
public subscription, and other orRani-
xations In the county, such as the Ro-
tary and Monarch Clubs, the Organized
Women Voters and the civic aSsocia.

TWO MORE POLICE
FOR LAUREL FORCE
Additional Men Assigned to
Patrol Roads in South
ern Maryland.
BY stan Correspondent of The Star.

oy CtdH Correspondent OF Inc btAr.
LAUREL, Nd, June 24.-Responding
to repeated requests for additional
traffic police, the commissioner of motor
vehicles Saturday placed two additional
men on assignments In Southern Mary
land.
One of these men, Daniel Mccarthy.
will patrol the State Highway from
Mount Zion to Solomons Island. The
other Is Harry B. Freely. who will work
out of Waldorf. Mccarthy will handle
traffic bound to and from Chesapeake
Beach, as well as on the lower part Of
the Solomons Island road.
Now Has IL Men.
These two men bring the total Of
men operating under direction of the
Laurel subStation to IL. It Is said there
were 18 men In the same territory last
Summer. and citizens organizations in
the area affected point out that the
number of cars and miles Of State road
are greater this year.
Complaints are daily received at the
Laurel substation that the force of
State policemen in its Jurisdiction is
traffic. Many of the complaints are
received from passing motorists, while
others come in writing.
The Exchange Club of Prince Georges
County last week inaugurated a con-
certed effort to secure more State police
Twice as many men as are now ON duty
in the area could be used to advantage,
it is believed.
Cuburbs Greatest Problem.
The greatest problem exists in the
suburban area, which Is at present
policed by single State patroiman.
Although he Is supposed to travel the
State highways west of the Baltimore
boulevard as far as Takoma Park and
also a large portion of the Defense
Highway, there is always so much
traffic around Hyattsville, the center
of the territory, that he seldom gets
away from that section.
Records at the local substation show
that there are far more accidents in
the vicinity of HyattSville than in any
other spot in the territory and would
seem to indicate that at least two or
three men should be stationed there all
the time instead Of one man part of
the time, the civic groups assert.
