MILK INSPECTORS
PAY BOOST ASKED
Maryland and Virginia Dairy
men Would Raise Wages of
District Employees.

By staff Correspondent of The Star.
SILVER SPRING, Md, February A.
Increase of pay and allowances for the
inspectors of the Health Department of
the District of Columbia, who watch
over the purity of the milk supply Of
the National Capital by visiting the
farms in Maryland and Virginia, where
it is produced, is to be sought by the
members of the Maryland and Virginia
Milk Producers Association, it was an
nounced at the annual meeting Of that
body held yesterday in the county
building here.
A petition was read at the meeting,
which is to be circulated among the
membership in both States and which
is subsequently to be presented to Rep
resentative Frederick N. Zihlman of
Maryland chairman of the House Dis
trict of Columbia committee, asking
him to aid in putting these men on q
par with the Federal inspectors of the
Department of Agriculture. A recon-
mendation is made in the petition that
they be paid $4,000 year and given an
allowance of 7 cents a mile for their
automobiles. The present pay and al
loWances are too small, it was pointed
out, and they have to travel hundreds
of miles in their work of inspecting the
dairy farms and the herds.
The following officers were elected:
President, F. S. Walker of Orange, Va;
first vice president, l.. E. Riggs OF Sill
yer Spring, Md; second vice president,
r. S. Hynson of Manassas, Va, and
secretary treasurer. John McGill, jr., of

Three College Girls
Outing as Hoboes
Ended by Officer
Special Dispatch to The Star.


LYNCHBURG, Va, February
5.-W. H. Irwin, patrolman for
the Southern railway, after 80
years experience as policeman.
had a new one Sunday, on the
main line of the Southern rail-
way. when he picked up a trio
of pretty college girls from this
place, who were enjoying a hobo
ride on a southbound freight
train.
The officer was somewhat taken
back when he found that he
would have to arrest a trio of
Southern beauties and the sur
prise Of the young women was
equally as intense when they were
advised that they were under ar
rest.
During the holiday between the
two semesters they made a wager
that they could walk so many
miles, ride SO many more in an
automobile and still others in a
freight train. Saturday they
walked to Lovingston, from
whence they went Sunday to
Shipman, where they boarded the
freight train to return. They
knew Lynchburg was South and
thought all trains stopped at
Lynchburg. But here they figured
wrong, for the train did not stop
until it reached Montview, six or
eight miles south of the city.
They were put aboard switch
engine and brought to the Union
passenger station.

SPLIT ON PRINCE GEORGES
ZONING MAY BE CLEARED UP
Park and Planning Commission to Meet
With County Heads at Upper Marlboro
This Afternoon.

While approving of the Zoning plans
drawn up by the park commissioners
the county group, which had previously
exercised its own constitutional right OF
passing and administering a coming
ordinance, hesitated to administer the
new plans for the reason that an ap-
pointive body, such as the park organi-
cation, had no authority to create zones.
The commissioners insisted only an
elective body such as they were could
legally handle division of areas.
Willing to Act.
When requests for changing in Zoning
began to come in it was found the Park
Commission had no legal authority to
conduct hearings and decide such mat
tiers, but the members of the commits
sion. who received their appointments
from Gov. Albert c. Ritchie, expressed
a willingness to administer the coming
act if the law was SO amended as to
permit them.
The Montgomery County commission
ers, who faced the identical problem
did not hesitate to exercise their au-
thority. Hearings have been held on
proposed changes by them, the Park
Commission sending representative to
approve or oppose such step, but the
commissioners making the final de-
cision. None of their verdicts have so
far been contested in the courts, as the
Prince Georges commissioners antici-
pated.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February S.
Mount Rainier is seeking to enlarge it's
corporate limits by a bill introduced in
the House last night by Delegate Will
liam F. Keys of Mount Rainier, Prince
Georges County. The measure would
annex 100 acres of land in Prince
Georges County in the area bounded
generally by the District line the
present corporate line and Queen Chapel
road.
A similar bill was introduced and
passed by the 1927 Legislature, but was
vetoed by Gov. Richie at the request
of the Prince Georges County delega-
ton in the House because of certain
errors which would have put in effect
the old tax rate of 10 cents.

1880 BUICK IS QUICK SELLER;
 MERRITT BUYS
First Model to Reach Con- nors Motor Company
 Is Sold on Sight

The first 1880 Buick to reach Alaska, coming to the Connors Mo- tor Company, of this city, found a ready purchaser and left the dis play rooms before one third of the autoists of Juneau and prospects had an opportunity to give it the once over. M. L. Merritt was one of the first to see the exhibit and he planked down his money. The purchase was a 30-70 Sedan.
 Greater power, longer wheelbase, lower, longer and more beautiful bodies, and innumerable mechani- cal improvements are outstanding achievements of the Buick for 1880.
 Fourteen models, divided in to three series, comprise the new Buick array, Series 40 embraces six mod els, five passenger, two-door se- dan, four passenger sport roadster, five-passenger phaeton, two-passen- ger business coupe, passenger four-door sedan and -four-passen- ger, de luxe coupe. Series 50 is composed of a e-passenger four door sedan and passenger

 The new quarters are located adjoining the building which houses the womens' apparel store of Cor don's Incorporated. The two places will be made into one, and the business use both, Mrs. Jones said. Gordon's Gift Store, located across Seward Street, will be moved into the new quarters and the two busi- nesses operated jointly.
 We expect to have the new store quarters completely arranged and occupied not later than September l, in time for our annual Fall showings of new goods" Mrs. Jones said. We will add new lines to those now carried. This will in- clude a shoe department. Several other lines will also be added"

 Wheelbase Increased
 The wheelbase iA the 40 series has been increased from 116 inches to 118 inches; in series 50 from 121 to PA inches, and in the 60 series from 129 to 132 inches. The famous Buick valve-in- head engine on the 40 models has been stepped up to 8016 horsepower, while the larger motor in the 50 and 60 series has been increased to 99 horsepower All models develop an actual speed well in excess of 90 miles an hour.
 All models have been lowered ap- proximately two inches; body con- tours have been refined, and the radiator shape has been revised to give it long, racy appearance The margin of the radiator shell has been reduced and the radiator core has been protected with ther- mostatically controlled shutters.
 New type mechanical operated internal expanding Servo four wheel brakes have been adopted on the new Buick. This is larger brake than used heretofore and is con- trolled by patented hinged shoe construction, assuring smooth oper- ation and elimination of grabbing

ments in the 1880 Buick. This ac- tion is controlled by metering valves which insure uniformity or action under all road conditions.
 Evidence that no cost was spared in making the 1880 car the finest Buick in history, is apparent in the incorporation of double breaker arm distributors on all cars in the 50 and 50 series to insure proper firing of the larger engine under all speeds and conditions. The gasoline pump has been redesigned and improved and the low speed carburetor adjustment has been eliminated, each carburetor being accurately calibrated to give the best all-around results.
 Steering Is Easier
 An ease of steering has been ob- tained in the new Buick by the use of an accurately made and fully adjustable worm and roller type steering gear, In addition, all road shocks through the steering wheel are eliminated by special road shock eliminator placed at the front end of the frame on the steering gear side.
