An immediate expansion of the Ma
TONS road building program was urged
upon President Hoover and Congress
yesterday by Thomas p. Henry, presi-
dent of the American Automobile Asso-
citation.
The maintenance of national progress
now and in the immediate years ahead,
he said, hinges in large measure ION
the development of an efficient system
of highway transportation"
Henry recalled the associations recon-
mendation that Congress increase the
appropriations under the Federal aid
act whereby the Government now spends
$4,000, 900 yearly, to $125, 100000.
This would mean," he said, that
the States would match the $4,000 900
increase dollar for dollar. 1t would slim
ulate and intensity road building in the
various States, provide employment on
a large scale, hasten the completion Of
the Federal aid system and pave the way
for an extensive program of express
highways on the free principle"

Late in the nineteenth century Flor
ence Emery, one OF William Emery's
two daughters, was married to Fred
Francis Georger The girls parents OPP
posed the match, and the young couple
kept their marriage secret.
The son was born in Washington,
Mrs. Georger having come here to keep
her parents from learning her secret.
Ten days after his birth the baby was
adopted, the one condition being that
his parentage be kept in strict con-
f1dence. Consequently few persons knew
of the existence of this son until search
was started for him q few months ago
as heir to the estate.

the Baltimore Sun describing the cir
cumstances of the missing sons birth.
He had been born in q foundling'S hos
