Along Northern Border.
BY GEORGE PORTER.
STAFF Correspondent Of The Star

MOUNT RAINIER, Md, October 20.
Purchase of a strip of land along the
northern border of the town of Mount
Rainier from the District of Columbia
line to the Brentwood line for develop
ment into a park area was requested
by the Mount Rainier Citizens Asso-
citation at a meeting in the town hall
last night.
The citizens asked that the Mary
nd-National- Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, which has on hand
funds for the purchase of park property,
buy the land, pointing out that 1t ad-
join the site of the new Mount Rainier
High School.
Would Ban Business.
Floyd B. Matthias. who suggested the
deSirability of buying the land, declared
that its development as a park would
ural beauty of the stream but would
prevent the possible construction of
undesirable commercial structures near
the high school. The proposed parkway
is between one-half and three-quarterS
of a mile long and about 500 feet wide.
It could be purchased at present for
a reasonable figure, according to Ma
thias.
In addition to formally asking the
park BODY TO buy the lano. the cltlzenS,
through their president, w. T. s. Roll
Inns, appointed a committee to repre-
sent them in negotiations involving the
project.
H. w. Blandy is chairman of this
group, the other members being Julius
Reiners, C. H. Adams, F. w. Berlin and
D. j. circuit
A protest against the further opera
ton of blast furnace at Thirty-eighth
street and Valley avenue was voiced by
the citizens in a. resolution, which also
suggested that the Park and Planning
Commission Cooperate with the
mayor and council before setting aside
any areas in the town for industrial
purposes.
Emits Smoke and Gases.
According to A. w. AtteI, who voiced
the protest of citizens living in the
vicinity of the blast furnace, the plant
gives forth smoke and gases. which

gipe Ht other makes of cars to do so.
They have found that the luxury of
Packard transportation costs no
more than ordinary motoring in
twelve to fifteen hundred dollar cars.
Operation and maintenance expense
for a luxurious Packard Standard
Eight is no greater than for many
cars down to half its price. The
higher first cost is completely Offset
by the fact that Packard cars are
built for long life.
They can be, and usually ars-ac-
cording to our ownership records
driven nearly twiee as long as the
lower priced cars traded in on new
Packards.
Net depreciation, therefore, is no
greater. And the Packard owner
enjoys keeping his car far longer
than any other make he has ever
owned.
Simple arithmetic proves that
though the Packard Standard Eight
may be priced even at twice as much,
final cost is no greater if it is driven
twice as long.
In accordance with Packard's long
established policy, the fundamental

that they outvalue all cars in the

COLORED MAN GIVEN 60
DAYS ON THEFT CHARGE

Earl S. owen, colored, disagreed with
Judge Ralph Given, who sentenced him
to 90 days behind the bars for the
alleged theft of dollar from two news
BOYS. He said that he had been
framed by the police and the boys ana
that if the judge would only let him
out he would bring in witnesses 10, TO
part of the city at the time the money
was stolen. Judge Given said that he
believed that every man should have
a square deal, sent a policeman out for
owens witnesses and ordered the man
to the "bull pen," with the promise
that he would be released If the men
testified as he said.
After about 20 minutes had passed
a note was handed to Judge Given from
owen which read as follows: Give
me then 80 days, judge, those guys
won't come down here and testify
for me-"
Judge Given took the note as a
confession and reduced the mans
sentence to so days.
