SHORE ROAD WORK
Maryland State Roads Commits
sion Gives Permission For Ferry

Special permission having been
granted by the State Roads Com
mission, work on the State road
from Stevensville to the new
terminal of the Kent Island-An-
napolis Ferry has been resumed
and was progressing rapidly this
week If favorable weather con-
tinues it is expected the road will
be completed in a few more days.
Arrangements are being made by
the Field, Barker and Underwood
firm, who last week secured the
contract for building jetties in the
bay to protect the ferry piers, to
begin work at the spot immedi-
ately. According to information
given out by the ferry officers, if
nothing happens to seriously delay
the construction work, it is prob
able that the line will be in oper-
alton early in the spring. Esti-
mates for the construction of the
new Narrows drawbridge, one of
the principal remaining links in
the good roads program connect
ing the Chesapeake Bay with the
Atlantic Ocean, were given out
last week by the State Roads
Commission. The new bridge,
which will be of the very latest
type construction will cost ap-
proximately $111,OOO, it was said.
The State Roads Commission did
not say when bids would be ask
ed for on this work, but it is be
lieved the commission will be
ready to make known its plans
shortly A considerable amount
of work in building shoulders to
the new concrete road between
Queen Anne's and Wye Mills still
remains to be done, and it now
looks improbable that much grad
ing will be done on the road be
tween Wye Mills and Queenstown
before early spring. This road,
however, will not delay operation
of the ferry upon completion of
the other projects now under way,
it is said.

The Smyrna Times extends
best wishes to its readers and
advertisers for a Merry
Christmas. Christmas is
sometimes called the chill
dren's holiday, because so
much of the thought Of the
day centers around them. It
celebrates the birth of the
Holy Child, and today the
main thought in every home
blessed with the little ones, is
to make it a happy day for
them. The gleeful faces of
these little ones as they see
their sparkling Christmas
tree and their lavish gifts,
compensates the parents for
whatever sacrifice they have
made. 1t is appropriate that
the world should turn to the
child heart on this day of
days, because that heart Of
youth has something to teach
us all. This thought was ex-
pressed by Jesus when he ut
tered those most notable
words, Except We become as
little children, We shall not
enter the kingdom Of heav-
en-"
To many this may seem a
statement of oriental imagery
not to be taken literally. But
there are certain qualities Of
simplicity and unpretentious-
ness and sincerity and lack Of
mercenary spirit, that are
characteristic Of children,
which people need to retain
through their adult life. As
people grow older they tend
to lose these traits. AS said
the poet, Shades Of the pris-
on house close about the
growing boy"
The heart Of childhood is
one Of hope and confidence, it
is trustful and confding. The
strivings and graspings Of
later life should not SO largely
obliterate that child spirit.
Christmas should be. q hap
py day, because people lose
for the moment so much of
the self seeking that the year
have brought to them, and
for once they think Of others.
And Christmas is not all it
should be for the children
themselves, unless they learn
to give as well as to get. If
they simply receive presents,
and do not make any with
money they earned themselv-
es, they do not get the best OF
their own holiday.

OLDF|ELD GRATU|TY
MAY REACH FLOOR.
Tennesseean Tells Plans II
Amount Is Curtailed in
General Supply Bill.
BY the Associated Press.

A fight over whether Mrs. Pearl p.
Oldfield of Arkansas, successor to her
husband, william A. Oldfield the late
Democratic whip in the House. shall re-
ceive the full $4,000 gratuity granted
beneficiaries of deceased Congressman,
has been waged in a House appropria-
tions subcommittee and may be taken to
the House floor.
Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
ranking Democrat on the appropria-
tons committee. has served notice on its
members that he will take the matter
to the House floor, If the attempt to
curtail the gratuity is made in gen.
eral supply bill by deducting the salary
paid to the late Representative Oldfield
last year until November Is, 1928
Mrs. Oldfield entered the House jan
uary Q last and would receive about
$1,524 in salary by March 4. Repre-
sentative Byrns said he was willing for
the amount paid Mrs. Oldfield as salary
to be deducted from the gratuity. but
he was opposed to the reduction OF the
amount paid her husband, because 1t
would leave her but about 81 100 Of the
gratuity.
Had Mrs. Oldfield not succeeded her
husband. Mr. Byrns said, she undoubt-
edly would have received the full
$4,000 outright. AS 1t is she would
lose an amount equal to her salary in
Congress for filling out her husbands
unexpired term. Because she did take
ONCE, Mr.. Byrns said. was no basis for
discrimination, because the gratuity was
similar to insurance for the protection
of House members and their families.

IiticaI Snag.
By the Associated Press.

Early approval Of the nomination OF
Arthur Batcheller Of Massachusetts, to
be member OF the Federal Radio Com
mission, Is expected to be granted by the
Senate interstate commerce committee.
However, the nomination of G. M
Jansky of Minnesota, which was sent
to the Senate with that OF Batcheller,
may strike snag because of some ques-
ton as to his political affiliation.
The Minnesota man told the COM
mittee he could not be classified as
either a Republican or Democrat. He
was certified at the time of his appoint
ment as a Democrat.
The law requires that no more than
three members of the commission be
affiliated with the same political party.
JanSky testified that he voted for viii
son In 1916, Tor no one in 1920, for
Davis In 1924 and for Hoover last Fall.
Chairman Watson OF the committee is
of the opinion that II Jansky's politics
are satisfactory to Democratic members
of the committee the Republicans will
not oppose him.

There has been much criticism OF

COUNTY ROADS
PROGRAM IS
REMAPPED

SILVER SPRING, Nd, April 21s.
At a conference this weeJ: between
Maryland state roads commission
officials and Montgomery county
Representatives including DR.. Benjat
min c. Perry, president Of the board
Of county commissioners; Capt.
Joseph G. CisseT, attorney for the
board and e. Brooke Lee, speaker
Of the house of delegates, the Mont.
gomery county road building pro.
gram was discussed in full detail.
Ten members of the States road
commission and the entire engineer.
ing force of the commission devoted
several hours to a revision of the
road and grade crossing elimination
projects.
Program Remade
The most important decision an.
nounced by the members of the
State roads commission was the
willingness to build with county
funds and take over as a part Of
the State roads system nine-foot
highways where traffic Is light. The
members IF the commission insisted
that at any points where nine-foot
roads were built and traffic did In.
crease to the extent, that widening
to the 16-foot requirement of the
State roads commission becomes ne
cessary be done as a capital charge
against Montgomery county. This
will mean that any widening will
have to be paid for either from the
county's annual post or lateral road
fund or from subsequent county
bond issues. =.
At a meeting of the board Of
Tuesday, April 23, complete recon-.
mendation of roads to be built dur
ing the next two years win be made
and the program given to the State,
roads commission.
The Montgomery county repre-
sentatives at the meeting were also
advised that the construction of the
subway ON the East and West Su-
burban Highway between Silver
Spring and Bethesda. which is also
the connecting link between Six
teenth ctreet at the District Line,
and the CoIesyi1le- Baltimore High
y-ay at Georgia Avenue; will be ad-
vertised at an early date by the
ctate roads commission.
To ID. C. Line \
1t was also learned that the five
miles of construction on the Colum-
bia route from Laurel to Silver
Spring and Sixteenth Street at the
District Line will be built this sum-
mer.
The elimination of the Gathers
burg grade crossing was discussed
and charts produced from the State
roads commissions office to show
that the density Of traffic at equal
distances from Baltimore and Wash
ington on the route between Rock
vile and Frederick was second to
the volume Of traffic incurred on
the Washington-B Baltimore Boule-
ward. The commission was unable
to announce just when the Gathers
burg grade crossing elimination pro-
ject will be undertaken.
