ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE. Va,
January 23.-Sudden illness of William
c. Cloth. Commemorative attorney of
Arlington County, caused postponement
today of the Alexandria Arlington an
nexation hearing, scheduled to have
opened at 10 o'clock before special
tribunal appointed by Gov Byrd. Mr..
Cloth was sent to his home and is be-
lieved to be suffering from influenza
John S. Barbour, chief counsel for
Arlington County, asked that the hear
ing be continued at least until 10 o'clock
tomorrow on account of the important
part which Mr.. Cloth has in the presen-
tation of Arlington'S side of the hearing.
Alexandria'S case was completed some
time ago.
In order that the time be not wasted,
the judges, Don P. Halsey of Lynchburg,
Frederick Coleman of Fredericksburg
and w. G. Hudgins in Chase City, ac-
companied by counsel of both sides,
made an automobile tour of Potomac
and environs, the territory sought by
Alexandria for extension of her bound
aries and of Alexandria. A tour of
inspection by the judges would be nee
essary, anyway, before their decision is
reached on whether AleXandria's suit to
annex the Potomac section of Arlington
County should be granted or denied.

FURORE IS BLAMED
TOLACK OF coming
AhaIt Says Arlington County
Could Have Avoided
Abattoir Trouble.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


CLARENDON, Va, January 23.-
Failure to zone the county is respon-
sible for the furore raised by the recent
application of the Auth Provision Co.
of Washington to locate an abattoir on
the Columbia pike, near Relee Station,
according to a statement made today
by Clarence r. Ahalt, prominent attor-
ney and civic leader.
IF Arlington County were ZOned as
was authorized two years ago." he said,
"the furore we now have about the
Auth application for an abattoir would
not exist. In coming the county or
any city the plan provides for diff
ferent classes of areas and these COM
mercial zones fix the character of IN
dustry to be located therein, and bust
ness firms are usually not SO foolish
as to try to locate them elsewhere.
In fact, the industrial or commercial
interests prefer to locate in a zoned
community. This fact has been DEM
onstrated by more than one prospect
for industrial plants in the county
when they have stated that they would
not entertain locating in the county
until 1t was zoned.
Protection to All.
'It is obvious, or should be, that a
zoning plan operates for the protec-
ton of every class of property holder
it properly locates and protects resi-
Dental areas against industrial en-
croachment and guarantees a security
of purpose for which the property Is
purchased. ~
Il fear our people as whole have
not come to a full realization of the
necessity for coming plan. Personal
ly, do not consider they have urged
upon the supervisors the necessity as
they should have, and consequently the
supervisors have not been as active
possibly as they might otherwise have
BEEN Certain agencies have urged it,
but they have been almost alone, and
until the people make it forcefully
known that we must have coming, we
are likely to have many more such Sit
uations as the present.
Proper Location Necessary.
"On my own personal responsibility
and not speaking for any group, say
we must have industry properly located
In Arlington County. Such is essential
for its proper growth and development,
but do not let us put the pig in the
parlor. There must be assurances that
1t will be an aid to the county, not a
detriment. These principles are the
result of the experiences of other COM
munities and we should be guided by
them.
Next to the fight of the county to
prevent the annexation of its territory
by Alexandria is the proper coming of
our county, and this question must be
met promptly to prevent disaster to
home owners, and avoid retarding the
progress and development of this ter
ritory of ours, so logically situated and
possessing so many possibilities"

ROCKVILLE PLANS
INCREASING WATER
Officials Discuss Added Sup
ply, With 100, 900 GAL
Ions Used Daily.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, January 23.-The
mayor and council of Rockville have
decided that an additional water supply
will have to be provided soon. The
town is using approximately 100000
gallons of water a day. which is said to
be pretty close to the capacity of the
water works. According to those in
charge of the towns affairs, no actual
shortage exists at this time. but the
daily consumption is gradually increas-
ing and it is realized that the supply,
under present conditions will soon fall
short of the demand and that a serious
situation might be precipitated at any
time should the need of an unusual
quantity of water develop.
The city fathers, therefore, are known
to be seriously considering ways and
means of augmenting the water supply
and are expected to soon announce
what, in their opinion, should be done
to insure an adequate supply Of the
necessary commodity.
Conference Is Held.
The first definite step taken by the
mayor and council toward aScertaining
what is best to be done, was to hold
conference with representatives of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission of Maryland and the State De-
partment of Health. Attending were
Mayor j. Roger Spates, Councilman
Joseph L. Clagett H. Worthington Tai
bolt, Stedman Prescott and j. Paul
Burnett; Emory H. Bogley and j.
Donald Clagett, members; Robert B.
Moss, chief engineer, and j. Darby
Bowman, secretary, of the Sanitary
Commission, and MesSrs. Goodrich and
Schaeffer Of the State Department OF
Health.
The whole situation was, it is under
stood, gone into with some thorough
ness. The sinking of additional wells
and the erection of another standpipe
in Rockville was discussed as a means
of affording relief for few years, but
more serious attention is said to have
been given to suggestions looking to
providing an ample water supply for
all time or long period Of years.
Ideas Are Discussed.
The purchase of water from the
Sanitary Commission, which would
necessitate the laying of a pipe line to
connect with the Commissions water
main at Garrett Park, and which would
involve very heavy expense, taking
over the towns water and sewer Sys-
TENS by the Sanitary Commission and
developing a water supply from Rock
Creek, two miles away, were the princi-
pal ideas discussed. The conference,
however is understood to have accom-
plished nothing more than to furnish
food for thought.
Whatever is finally decided upon will,
It is agreed, entail heavy expense, and,
as legislation is expected to be neces-
sary, definite action must, it is said, be
taken in time to have the Legislature
now in session, and which adjourns
in a little over two months, authorize
whatever is required.
Rockville has a taxable basis of ap-
proximately S2,OOo,ooO while its bonded
Indebtedness is only about 100000. It
is held that the town can well stand
whatever additional Indebtedness an in
creased water supply would bake neces-
Sary.

of the children of residents Of the
little settlement of Odenton, also known
as Annapolis Junction, out of their
public school by more than threescore

Army stationed at Fort Leonard Wood

that the county already pays 96-cent
school tax. and is faced this session
with getting through a million-d dollar
bond issue for schools.
Aside from the problem of providing

out that this county, like Montgomery

Delegate Romeo F. Redmiles Of

there from Fort Leonard Wood had
forced one grade of children of the tax
payers to leave and go to the Millers-
vile Academy. Another class has been
put in the basement, while others are
on half time or less. He pointed out
that the parents Of these children did
not pay any taxes, nor does the State
get any benefit of the vast area in
cluded in Fort Leonard Wood, as 1t is
tax-exempt as Federal property. Con-
sideration is being given to the matter
IF attempting legislation which would
require the payment of s-fee from the

WHAT A DOCTOR Knows
ABOUT
CONSTIPATION

There is a way of overcoming the
tendency to constipation. And here
is how you can PROVE it.
The next time your bowels need
any assistance, don't take the first
laxative that comes to mind. Take
one the druggist can assure you Is
made with CASCARA. Just as eff
fective as using force, and it's good
for the system. Indeed, it helps
make good blood. For cascara is
nothing but the bark of a tree.
The Indians chew this bark, and
live to an old age without a days
sickness.
What happens when you cascar-
ize the bowels? They will usually
function well for SEVERAL DAYS.
One more dose--no larger, and
perhaps smaller than the first
and the bowels function of their
own accord for a still longer time.

John Gilbert is one motion picture star who has no liking for the routine, tailor-made hero type. He delights in unusual characterizatiOns, in roles that are real rather than heroic. Ac- cording to his own express sion, he pre- fers characters that sweat" Which preference on his part probably ac- counts for the unusually colorful ca reer he has had, the wide variety Of roles. since he became a Metfo-Gold- wyn-Mayer star.
 Gilbort's latest picture, Desert Nights" Metro Goldwyn Mayors pro duction, which will be at the Bradley Theatre Friday and Saturday, affords him n role that meets all his favorite specifications. IL is strong dramat- ically; it is out of the ordinary and t does not glorify the character out of all human proportions. Realism pre- dominates. There is as much bad as there is good in the character Gilbert creates. It Is not even dress ap mart. for in the majority of the scenes the well-known Gilbert features are masked by a heavy growth of beard. It IS, literally, role "that sweats.p
