WILSON BOULEVARD
WIDENING BLOCKED
Arlington Supervisor Says
Main Travel May Shift, Due
to Lack of Space.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.

CLARENDON, Va, February 7.-As a
result of the refusal Of number of per-
sons living along Wilson Boulevard to
donate free rightS-of-W for the WIDEN
| ing of the highway there Is a strong
possibility that they may see the main
travel between RoSslyn and Clarendon
transferred to some parallel road, it was
indicated today by B. M. Hedrick, super
visor for the Arlington district of Ar
lington County.
THE desire for personal gain" He'd
rick declared" has made it impossible
to widen and repave this thoroughfare
at this time. However, there are plenty
of other roads IN the county on which
this years county road funds can be
expended. There ere parallel roads that
can serve just as well for the heavy
travel between the Key Bridge and Clar-
endon, Arlington County's most thickly
populated section"
Need of Donations.
Hedrick has promised that he would
widen as much Of the road as possible
this year if the property owners would
donate sufficient grounds for the pur-
pose. In an effort to assist in the work
q number of members of the Arlington
District Council or Citizens Associations
volunteered to assist in obtaining the
rights of way.
Their efforts met with success in deal
ing with some of the property owners,
but others refused to donate the ground.
Their refusal, Hedrick thinks, is due to
their desire to sell the ground at profit,
thinking that the county would buy
because they were forced to follow the
route of the Wilson Boulevard.
There will be about $4,000 available
this year for construction of new roads
in Arlington district. This would have
been sufficient, Hedrick said,. to widen
more than a mile of Wilson Boulevard,
eliminating the dangerous curves at the
Rosslyn end of the road.
ut is impossible" Hedrick said, "to
build the road and purchase the rights
of way also. Either the property owners
along Wilson Boulevard must donate
the rights of way or it is impossible to
build the roads. have no preference,
for the rest of the funds must be used
in the upkeep of the other roads in
the district"
Now Heavily Travelled.
Wilson Boulevard is acknowledged as
the most heavily travelled county road
in Arlington County, and the transfer
of the heavy travel to another road
would result in the immediate depre-
citation of property values along that
thoroughfare, with a subsequent in
crease to the holders of property along
the other route selected for a modern
paved road, 1t was pointed out.
1t is the opinion Of business men OF
the county that the property owners
along Wilson Boulevard would gain con-
siderably more by donating sufficient
ground than by holding it for pur-
chase by the county.

"How to Study"

The third of the series of faculty
talks on phrases Of the subjects, "You
and Your School," was given by Miss
Medcalf, the able Biology and
"Math." instructor, Thursday the,
twenty minute period before the High
School assembly. "How to Study"
was the topic chosen by Miss Medcalf.
She pointed out that we should
not learn every detail, but instead
learn the facts. Of course, we must
have knowledge of the details and
be able to connect them with the facts.
Concentration is necessary if we
are to get the most out of the time
we spend in study. A quiet, well
ventilated, and well lighted room
facilitate study. An intermission
of five minutes at least ought to be
taken before you plunge into the next
subject.
Some students find it easiest to pre-
pare the hard lessons first and then
gradually work down until the east
est is left. Others get more satisfac-
tion using the reverse method-study-
ing easiest lessons first and working
up to the hardest.
Our teachers are proving to be in
teresting speakers since their talks
are all within our own experience and
consequently easily understood. Sew
eral good points have been brought
out in these talks which I'm sure will
remain with US.

Eastern U. S. Founders in
Wake of Worst Snow
of Season.

NEW YORK. February 22-After a
beiated visit Of Winter, the Eastern por-
ton Of the country today was founder
ing out Of the worst snowstorm of the
season.
The storm, sweeping in on a north
east wind, spread thick covering of
snow from Maine to the Carolinas and
westward to the Mississippi Valley.
Severely low temperatures were record
ed in many sections.
The deaths of II persons, injury to
several others, and numerous minor ac-
cidents were attributed to the snow and
cold. Shipping was hampered and rail-
road schedules disrupted. In some Sec
TONS drifting snow blocked highways,
Wnlle only strenuous efforts by aug
mented maintenance gangs kept roads
open in other portions.
Inches In New York.
!. A fall of seven inches brought out
the maximum snow fighting force in
New York, where officials estimated
22.O00 men were clearing the lanes of
heaviest traffic with the aid of a huge
Meet OF plows, scrapers, brushes and
trucks.
The liner Leviathan and other vessels
Were delayed, being held outside the
narbor until the curtain CT snow had
lifted.
Rapid transit lines and railroads en-
tefng the city experienced some delay,
pug tnere was no interruption of traffic.
Upstate New York was buried under
the heaviest fall of the year. Paul Sc
gai, ~, OF Montreal, was killed, and
MS nancee, Miss Mary Sherman, 18, also
oI montreal, was critically injured when
tnelr automobile was wrecked in the
binding storm near Poughkeepsie.

the worst snow storm of the year, with
snow reaching depth of IA inches in
places. Temperatures fell as low as IL
degrees below zero.
Three Ships Missing.
One schooner of fishing fleet which
headed out of Portland into the storm
returned with one member of her crew

counted for.
Ten persons, two mothers and their
eight children were burned to death
In the vicinity OF Johnstown, Pa, in

CRUISER PROGRAM
WINS IN SENATE
Navy Bill to Be Taken Up,
With Restriction on Debate
After 3 Today.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
Opponents Of the cruiser construction
program have been beaten in their ef-
forts to keep the naval appropriation
bill from being taken up by the Senate.
After voting yesterday to take up the
bill. the Senate also reached an agree
ment to restrict debate on the measure
after pm. today.
This was taken to mean that the
naval bill would pass and that money
provided In It to begin work on ave
cruisers during this fiscal year would be
immediately available.
Fear of Filibuster.
It was feared that opposition to the
bill might result in a filibuster, but two
other threatened filibusters still remain
to be dealt with. Senator Walsh of
Montana has expressed strong oppose
ton to a provision in the Interior De-
partment bill which would give the Sec
retary OF the Interior the right to con-
denim privately owned lands in natiopal
parks. Walsh proposed a compromise
to provide that the Secretary would be
prohibited from condemning any pri-
vate dwellings, hotels or property used
In the parks by religious organizations.
The Senate accepted this, but the House
had decided to ask another conference
with the Senate on the section relating
to the condemnation of lands.
senator Glass of Virginia has also
given notice OF his disapproval of the
elimination from the second deficiency
bill Of the $24.00O,O00 for prohibition
enforcement provided In the now de-
funct first deficiency bill, and some in
terpreted his language as meaning that
ne might use filibustering tactics.
Hale Makes Concession.
Before the agreement to limit debate
on the naval appropriation bill was
reached, Senator Hale of Maine, a spon-
sor OF the cruiser construction program,
made a concession to the opposition
when he said he would amend the bill
to provide only 100000 for work on
the cruisers during this fiscal year.
All the Is cruisers and one airplane
carrier provided for in the cruiser bill
which has passed both Houses and
been signed by the President, are to have
work begun on them before June 80
1881. Almost $12,500, 900 is provided in
the naval appropriation bill to take
care of work on the cruisers for the
first and second year programs. though
this will probably be supplemented by
other funds.

BERLIN, February o. - Refueling
processes developed by the American

upon by Capt Herman Koehl to make
possible fight from Berlin to New

Friends of the captain, who, with the
late Baron Ehrenfried Won Huenefeld

Col. FitZmaurice and two others. as

an experimental venture, made to
ascertain the possibilities of refueling on
transoceanic commercial flights.
A three -motored machine of the type
