VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS
OBJECTS TO coming
Tentative Listing of Southern
Section as "Heavy Indus
trial" Meets Opposition.
BY LESTER N. INsKEEP.

p y .
ARLINGTON, va, November e.--Al-
most unanimous opposition to the ten
tative coming of part Of. Virginia
Highlands precinct as ''heavy indus
trial" was voiced last night ct q pub
lie hearing held by the Arlington Coun-
ty ZoninR Commission in the Hume
School, Arlington Ridge.
In planning for the future develop
ment Of the county the commission
had set apart q small area In the South
washington section that was to be
known as q heavy Industrial" area,
the commission believing that that par
ticular section was not at the present
time adapted to anything else.
Voicing the sentiment of the residents
Of Arlington Ridge, Aurora Hills and
Virginia Highlands, Frank q. Campbell,
Henry G. Morris and other property
owners stated that they believed that
Arlington County was not in need OF
the heavy type Of industry, especially
those listed In section 8 Of the pro-
posed ordinance. These included the
manufacture Of dyestuffs, fat rendering,
fertilizers, matches, fish smoking and
other industries that might emit Of
fensive odorS.
Section Small.
The section zoned for heavy industry
is SO small as to be Of little use. any
way, Campbell said, and suggested that
1t be zoned non-conforming light In
dustrial.
Col. Joseph Ford asked the commits
sion to consider the announced plans
of the National Park and Planning
Commission for the development Of this
section, claiming that to permit any
objectionable type of industry may
permanently block these plans, which
have been approved by Gov. Harry r.
Byrd. J
Appearing as counsel for the WASH
ington Air Terminals Corporation,
Thomas w. Phillips asked that the
property owned by that company at
the south end Of the Highway Bridge
be zoned heavy" instead of eight" IN
dustrial He also called attention to
the fact that the waterfront property
of his client has been tentatively zoned
as residential q, and asked that this,
too, be changed. The reason for this
request, he said, was that the company
he represents may eventually wish to
establish q factory for the manufacture
Of planes.
Rivcrfront Residential.
lt was learned last night Tor the firSt
time that the commission has set aside
practically all of the riverfront from
the Alexandria line to the Fairfax line
as residential B." This was done,
Chairman Fred A. Gosnell said, In an
effort to encourage the development
along the Mount Vernon Boulevard of
a high.class apartment house and hotel
section.
Gosnell announced after the hearing
that the commission viii be glad to
reconsider any action, that meets with
disapproval, calling attention TO the fact
that any action already taken is sub
ject to change before the zoning ordi-j
nance becomes effective.

PHILADELPHIA, July 13.--If the break Connie Mack is getting pass es up A. Alonzo Stagg and Jim Ten Eyck, it won't be because the sports mob didn't pull for them
 Here Is Connie climbing back into baseball again after long and tcrtuous absence while the others of this trio of veterans plan and hope
 Stagg at 66 and Ten Eyck ct 79 aren't winning regularly any more but Mack at 67 is stepping out with a promise of duplicating his thrill- ing diamond exploits of Is years back.
 The grand old man of the Chi Cago midway and Old Jim still have q strong pull with the sports wor- shippers and they may yet flash q comeback to regain the heights.
 Stagg's Chicago team couldn't win a single important football game last fall and Ten Eyck's Syra- cuse varsity eight wound up its 1929 stab at the intercollegiate title by sinking to an unhappy finish. Perhaps most prominent of all though was Mack's heart-breaking drive to overhaul the Yankees.

RUSSIAN WORKERS PAY DOCKED WHEN
 BREAKACE OCCURS

MOSCOW, July 18.-Revelations of inefficiency and c ar el e S nes. among workers in Soviet institu- tions have brought about a new law by which negligent workers ma. be docked Up to a third of theil monthly wages, especially wher breakage or similar waste occurs Violations of rules are among the offenses listed in the decree.
 The worker has seven days ill which to appeal to the control com mission of the enterprise or to the labor court, but the decisions of these bodies are final.
 The damages are assessed for loss or breakage of tools, damage to ma- chimes, losses from stock rooms, misplacing of legal documents or money and similar offenses. It IS hoped that the measure will reform many of the weaknesses in Soviet industry and business found by an efficiency board composed Of peas ants and workers.
 The chief failings reported by the inspectors were that officials and public employees came to, work late in the mornings and permitted long delays in assigning tasks. At the Grossbank, the Soviet Unions main bank, 137 employes reported for work long after open ing hours, the efficiency experts found. They also said that civil service men wasted many working hours in the buffets, dining rooms and barber shops attached to So- vict institutions.
 For mutual protection, employees reporting for work on time signed the names of negligent comrades These tardy ones in turn commit ted similar misdemeanors wher their friends felt more like loaf ing than working.

Governor Wires Invitation to Editorial Associa-
 ton for lo3l Meet

Alaska, through Gov. George A. Parks, has extended an invitation to the National Editorial Associa- ton to hold it's annual convention in the Territory in 1881. Tine Goy- ernor, it was announced by his sec- retary, H. G. Watson, has wired Erwin Funk, President of the As- sociation, such an invitation.
 It is now meeting in Cheyenne, Wyo. The place for the conven- tion next year has already been chosen, but it is the hope of the Governor that the Association will come here the following year.
 The Governors telegram to MT Funk, said:
 1 Alaska extends cordial invita- [ ti6n to the National Editorial As- sociation for it's convention in 1881 We believe the trip from Seattle to l Alaska cannot be surpassed and the information acquired by your mem- bers on such a trip would be Of great value"
 several transcontinental rail roads entering Seattle, and steam ship companies operating vessels between Seattle and Alaska, are working to help bring the Associa- ton north, and will cooperate with the Governor in his. efforts, it was said.

 Ten Eyck who pulled winning oar 50 years ago, has been at Syra- cuse for a quarter of century and with all of his poor luck in recent years is privileged to stay there as long as he can lift a mega phone.
 Stagg, the loyable commander of Chicago's athletic affairs, has had many lean years since his last sue cessful one but he goes right or winning followers for his system of not sacrificing everything foi victory.
 There won't be any hard feelings if Mack's new change of luck pulls Stagg and Ten Eyck into line for their share.

Precision of stitchery lends decoration.

There is no part of embroidery more
important to have finely finished than
the edges. The type of finish should
accord with the style of Stitchery the
sort of textile on which the work is
done, or be developed in a color that
matches one already used, or which is
gratifying to the eye when in contrast.
From this diversity of styles let us
select the finish of buttonhole stitch
for consideration today.
The Chinese have fascinating type
of buttonhole stitchery frequently
found on edges OF napery. To do this
work, first turn and haste a narrow
hem, not more than Is Inch for fine
linen. Color is commonly employed
for the thread, generally silk, used for
the buttonholing. This is apt to fol-
low the tradition for blue so lavishly
used in Chinese embroidery. The
shade chosen is usually found In the
embroidery elsewhere on the napery.
Brown is another favorite color, but
any may be used that suits the
workers preference.
Start the buttonhole stitch in one
corner of the edge. Do not knot the
silk or fine mercerized cotton, but leave
short end. Work over this, letting
the thread lie along the edge of the
work. Always start each needleful of
thread in the same way. End it by
working the next stitch over this, and
the new end of thread. Slip the needle
under the loop of the final stitch when
starting new thread. In this way

Not long ago In this column we
mentioned the fact that large per-
centage OF women patronize haber-
daSheries for their men folks. Just the
other day an authority on such matters
informed us that rs per cent of the
purchasers of mems hosiery are women.
The other night we accompanied
friend along F street. "Look!" he
suddenly exclaimed. There he goes.
See him. The man with the brown
see the object of the friends excite
ment. That's the chief of my depart
ment." said the man in an awed
whisper.
We wondered what would have hap
pened had he seen the President saun-
tering down the street. Any man who
can inspire the wholesome respect of
a subordinate is good. There is, how
ever, difference between respect and
fear. One may respect his superior
without fearing him. 1t was notable
during the war that the officers who
succeeded in extracting the last gram
of effort from their subordinates we're
those who did not attempt to inocu-
late them with fear.
There was once a heartily detested
boss of gang working on river
front Each member of the crew would
have given a months wages to push
him into the water and let him sink.
The man was a tyrant and was known
to be by the company employing him,
but he was efficient. He contrived to
accomplish more work than any of the
other foremen.
One day he actually did fall into
the water without being pushed. In
stantly one of the gang dived in after
him. The boss was big man, and it

T, the work can be done so that no be-
ginning or ending of any thread is de-
tectable. It is thus that the Chinese
do their work.
The lengths of the buttonhole
stitches vary, first short one then a
long one and teen a short one OF
exactly the same length as the first
short one. The spacing IS SO precisely
done that each group of three stitches
appears to be separated from those on
either side of it. This effect is gained
by making the final loop in each group
an infinitesimal bit longer than the
others. 1t actually appears to be the
same length, but it is about the extra
distance of the size of the thread.
The beauty of this edge consists In
its mathematical accuracy. If the
edge of the textile on which the en-
broidery is done is straight, this can
be regulated by counted threads. II
the contour is curved or irregular II
can be marked off with dots equally
spaced, each pencil mark indicating
the tip of the point, which is the end
of the longest stitch.
An expert embroiderer can usually
rely upon the accuracy of her eye &c
guide her needle. Whatever the means
the result must be buttonholed edge
of tiny points, no tip of which reaches
to the line of the turned hem but which
comes sufficiently near for the baSting
thread of the hem to be pulled out and
the hem remain fiat and trim.

January %, 1862.-The assemblage
at the White House reception tonight
was, If possible, larger than on any
former occasion. President Lincoln
looked somewhat worn by the cares of
office. Mrs. Lincoln looked extremely
well and was dressed with her usual
taste.
The Secretary of the Navy was in
the Oval Room with his family. The
venerable Representative and former
Senator Crittenden of Kentucky,
Speaker Grow and other members Of
the House and Senate were present
Maj. Gen. Banks made his appear
ance in the East Room, and, although
he was not in uniform, his presence
was soon discovered and all eyes were
turned toward him. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Banks. Gems. Thomas,
Blenker, Smith, Fitz John Porter and
other Army officers were in attendance.
Among the officers of the Navy on the
scene were Capt. Dahlgren and Lieut..
Wise. The distinguished promenaders
included N. P. Willis and w. H. Aspin-

duties are mainly to enforce the munic-
ipal laws, but they are authorized to
act in other cases when commissioned
by the court. Keeping order in this
city at present, when it is filled with
soldiers and hangers-on attracted here
by the Army. is an unusually difficult
task, although, Of course, the provost
marshal and his force attempt to keep
order among the soldiers and succeed
remarkable well under the circum-
stances.
The most bloody engagement so far
in the history of the war, in proportion
to its size, was fought tonight on Deco
guam Bay, only few miles from
Washington. A force of so men of the
37th New York Regiment, under COM
mand of Lieut.. Col Burke, had been
sent out by Gen. Hientzelman, and sur
prised a force of Confederate Texas
Rangers" in Mrs. Lees house on the
bay. The Confederates numbered only
80 men, but they fought until all but
one was killed, the last man being
taken prisoner by Col. Burke. The
Union loss was one man killed and
four wounded.
Col. Burke does not think that any
of the Confederate force escaped. as
he had the house completely surround
ed before the action began.
