OFFICIALS DISCUSS
ARLINGTON LIGHTS
First Steps for Illumination
of Business Streets Taken
at Session.
By a stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY a stan Correspondent Of The Star.
CLARENDON, Va, November 49,
The first steps toward the consumma-
ton of plans to accept the offer OF
the board of county supervisors with
respect to the adequate lighting of the
three principal business streets OF the
county, especially the Clarendon pol
ton of Wilson Boulevard, were taken
yesterday when p. p. Woodbridge,
executive secretary of the Arlington
County Chamber Of Commerce, and
H. B. Mitchell, chairman OF the R0-
tail Merchants Association of Clarell-
don, met with officials Of the Virginia
Public Service Co.
Chamber VIII Aid All.
While the Merchants Association is
interested only in the Clarendon prof.
ect. woodbridge said, the Chamber OF
Commerce will lend its assistance To
the Lee Highway and Frazier avenue
proposals as well. The Wilson Boule-
ward lighting, however, is the only plan
that has been considered in detail.
Before attempting to decide just now
many modern arch-lights viii be need
ed in Clarendon, the two associations
will await estimates from the power
company as to relative cost and the
submission of plans that will show the
space that can be adequately illuminate
ed by each light. When the estimates
and plans are ready, Woodbridge said,
q Joint meeting of the chamber,
Merchants Association, county ell
gineer and others who are interested
will be called.
Two Types Considered.
There are two types of lights to be
considered, one the bracket type that
was recently installed on King street,
Alexandria, and the other the single
type, with the globe on top. The
bracket type, it is understood, would
carry telephone and other wires on
the top, while the single type would
require the changing of the wire sys-
tenn where they are installed.
At their last meeting the supervisors
Instructed william H. Duncan, CLERK.
to advise the business men that If they
would pay for the installation of orna-
mental poles the governing body would
assume the power expense.

EARbY in 1918 airnen of the allied armies
reported that German pilots were using
parachutes to escape from their planes when
ever they were shot down out of control or set
fire. This the beginning of nsistent
demands the part of allied airplane pilots
for parachute equipment The demand was
partly filed by the British adapting balloon
type parachutes to some of their airplanes.
The Air Service of the American ExpeditiOnary
Forces endeavored to produce satisfactory,
parachute by combining the good features OF
several parachutes already in existence. All
of these, however, were very bulky, heavy and
hard to place on the airpIanes to any advan-
tage.
The balloon parachute however, was used
to good purpose by members of the American
Air Service who were assigned to the lighter
than-air branch. From the World War records
1T is CLEANED that lit emergency parachute
jumps we're made from balloons in the zone of
operations-10S by officers and by enlisted
men. OF these lit jumps, So were made from
balloons which had been attacked and set on
fire by enemy airmen and So from balloons which
were attacked but not set on fire. The out
standing figure among these balloon jumpers OF
the World War Lieut. G. Phelps, who was
credited with five jumps three of them from
burning balloons.
Work the parachute was started at the
Air Corps Engineering Division at Dayton,
Ohio, in September, 1913 and for the first nine
months it was under the supervision Of Floyd
Smith. Thereafter, and until the assignment

"E pIuribus unum," the Latin phrase
that has become our national motto,
originally occurred in a poem entitled
"MOretum," supposed by some to have
been written by Virgil. 1t literally
means, lone from many" or from
many one" According to the Path

Of the United States of America, and

turing methods and processes are en-
abling the volume producer TO put adj
ditional equipment and refnements
into his product at no advance over
former prices. Mr.. Clancy told the
Oakland Pontiac dealers that they are
in a particularly favorable position
this year in view of the high public
interest shown in their two lines of
cars according to the story revealed
by sales figures. The new Oakland
All-American Six, he said, despite
having been announced during the dull
selling season, is rolling up the high
est monthly sales figures recorded
since the line first came on the market
in 1907 The new Pontiac "Big" Six
similarly, is gathering orders at a
rate that assures peak production

"a record 35 per cent better than in

unparalleled order, and confidence evi-
dent from the huge corporation to the

ity will continue and should make 1929
the automotive industry's best year,

these basic reasons is the fact the in
