To Get NeU HiqhlUay

MARTINSBURG. w. Va, Nov.
26.-The construction of the
George washington Memorial
Highway westward has spurred
Virginia valley towns from Win
chester to Alexandria into an er,
fort to have the new highway
routed through Virginia instead
of the Eastern Panhandle , Of
West Virginia, Gray Silver has
warned residents of this section.
It has been the plan to have
the highway routed over the
Shenandoah River into West V1r-
ginia, near Charles Town, and
thence through this city wesS-
ward. where it would join the
Northwestern Turnpike that leads
across the State.

BLIZZARD TAKES
LIVES Of z

CHICAGO, Nov. 26 U.N.S)
BliZZardS, snow storms and sub
freezing temperatures gripped a
large portion of the country to-
day with the storms death toll
increased to ~ persons. .
While the main llizZard re.
sponSible for crippled communi-
cations and deaths advanced
eastward, a second storm of
equal intensity was descending
from the Northwest.
The mercury here fell to Is de-
greeS above zero today and &C.
cording to predictions will fall
even lower before the holiday.
Fatalities attributed to the
cold wave were reported as far
South as Atlanta. Discovery of
the bodies of five additional dead
on the Snowbound roads Of Colo
rado and wyoming today brought
the toll to 20 persons.
The behavior of the storms in
many regions puzzled meteorolo.
giStS. F'reakiSh blizZardlike wind
storms often died out under the
glaring sun only to reappear with
greater fury. Fifteen States were
affected.
Tornado-like winds tore roofs
from box cars on the Chicago
and Northwestern road between
Pilger and WiSner, Neb.

la,lreateship to Ben Jonson. He has
been a worker with his hands, as
Jonson was. He has seen life IN the

blest origin and through the most sor-
rowful circumstances to his present

should come man of the refinement
of thought and expression that Mase-

of human development.
It is reported from England that
Masefield's selection gives universal sat-
isfaction. He is recognized as tower
ing genius, and his present eminence
counts alone regardless OF the obscurity
and the poverty and the misery from
which he evolved. His own life is an
epic. He is reported to have said, upon
learsling CO his selection as laureate,
that he would not write for occasions"
that a man cannot really write unless
he is deeply stirred" This means that
he Will not grind out birthday verses
and anniversary odes, but will wait for
inspiration. And it also means that
whatever he produces as laureate will be
worth while, real contribution to Eng

Masefelds selection probably signi-
fies that Kipling viii never attain the
rank to which his admirers have hoped
he would be advanced. The new laureate
is fifty-five years of age, while Kipling
is ten years his senior. In all likelihood
Masefeld will survive Kipling, and
though the present royal prejudice
against the author of "Recessional"

there is small chance that the ONCE will
become vacant with him living. But
MaSefield is rated by many as even
higher in point of great writing than
Kipling. If the matter were put to the
vote of those competent to judge be-
tween the merits of the two men, as Gre
ators of poetry, Masefield would prob
ably win the decision,

A Reiteration.

That Commissioner Crosby will have
much support from local civic organiza-
tions If he decides to change from the
traftic-congesting and fundamentally
unsound rotary left-hand turn to the
Hoover turn, made from the center of
the street and used in every city of
consequence in the United States except
Cleveland, is indicated by the action
Of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association yesterday, when the board
of governors of that body reiterated its
stand for uniformity and urged the
Commissioner seriously to consider a
revision Of the rotary system. This is
not the first time that the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association has
excoriated Washington's unique method
of slowing up traffic. Its reiteration,
therefore, with the advent of a new
Commissioner, is especially significant.
Besides the merchants body, the
Board of Trade and the American
Automobile Association, as we'll as other
civic bodies, are squarely on record as
favoring the change to the Hoover
turn, which will bring Washington in
uniformity with the rest of the country.
With these opinions of local bodies to
back him combined with the consensus
of national bodies of traffic control,
Commissioner Crosby will make no
mistake in ordering return to
normally, regardless of whether the
traffic Office sees 1t to recommend it
or not.
