When passing through villages

down to normal rate of speed.
Normal speed is defined as a speed

a pleasant task for an officer TO

A request lhas gone into the
patrol office in Olympia
for a traffic officer to visit the
Island quite frequently. This Of
ficer will take care Of all ear
owners who have failed to obtain
licenses, who have headlights not
properly adjusted, aud who have
paid no attention to the condition

CIVIC BODIES Join
IN coming FIGHT
Aurora Hills and Virginia
Highlands Associations Unite
in War on Industries.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
stan CORRESPONDENT of The star.

y ~ =
AURORA HILLS, Va, November IL.
The first difficulty encountered by
the Arlington County Zoning Commits
sion in the public hearings that are
being held prior to the presentation Of
the tentative coming ordinance TO the
board of county supervisors is gaining
such rapid Roadway that the civic
bodies of Aurora Hills and Virginia
Highlands combined last night to night
the establishment of a heavy indus
trial. area in this section.
There was considerable opposition at
the hearing held last Friday night in
the Hume School to the plans of the
commission to set aside for the use
of heavy industry section of South
Washington, having Arlington juno
ton as its center, and great many
of those attending left with the promise
that the fight had only begun.
Civic League Acts.
That this was true was evidenced
last night at the regular meeting of the
Aurora Hills Civic League, when, after
an address on the subject by j. c..
Mcclellan, president of the Virginia
Highlands Citizens Association, the for
mer body voted to appoint Mcclellan
and John c.. Gall, president of their
own association, as committee of two
10 arrange a mass meeting at the JeI-
ferson District auditorium in the near
future. Edward Duncan, supervisor of
Jefferson District and chairman of the
board of supervisors, and members of
The Zoning Commission are to be invited
to attend this meeting
In his talk last night Mcclellan stated
that he has been present at the Hume
School hearing and that there is not
thing in section 8 of the tentative
ordinance, under which heavy industries
come, that We want. If We do not fight
this thing now" he declared, "our cause
will be lost because the { dlnance is to
be presented to the board of supervisors
early next month"
School Meeting Opposed.
1t was the concenSuS OF the meeting
that the Hume School was an improper
place to have held the hearing, first be-
cause public meetings have never been
held there, as a result of which many
people were mistaken in the meeting
place, and second, because the citizens
of this section have an auditorium for
public meetings that is located in the
center of the district.
Many of the people have not vet seen
the map, 1t was said, ana as result are
not entirely familiar with the plans of
the commission for this section. One
thing upon which all are agreed, how
ever, was that they do not want a series
OF Objectionable factories, a great many
OF which, dnder section 8, would emit
unpleasant odors, between them and the
new Arlington Memorial Bridge.

ROCKVILLE, Md, November H.
In his charge to the grand jury at
the opening of the November term OF
the Circuit Court here yesterday,
Judge Robert B. Peter stated that the
local option or prohibition law OF the

quired by law.

that has won the appreciation OF ex-
perts.
At present Raymond is the only boy

years he has attended all of the lessons
given by Miss Regain at the Oxon Hill
School, where he is q pupil.
He insists on attending the classes in
spite of a tendency on the part of the
instructor to discourage boys from sew
ing. But when she gets such answers
as. II am thinking seriously of study
ing medicine and want to learn to take
stitches" what can teacher do?
So, while other members of the class
pattern a dress or nightgown, Raymond
diligently fashions shirt or apron or
something equally useful to boy.
Some of his handiwork. or needlework,
was so clever 1t won prizes at a recent
local fair, in which a large number of
