towns Of Mount Rainier, Brent.

completed from a point near Lau.
rel to connect with 18th Street, at
the District line. will enable people
in this area to reach their destina-
lions without going through the
crowded business section of WASH
ington.
The elimination Of the Hyatts.
vile grade crossing Is a major IN.
dertaking of the greatest impor.
lance, which will not only remedy
what has frequently been an intol.
rable inconvenience on the Balti.
more Washington Boulevard, but
will make impossible for all time
the tragedies which have occurred
at that point.
The grade crossing. at Silver
Spring has also been eliminated,
and it is also expected that others
at Rockville, Kensington, and Cal
thersburg will be removed this
year. The crossing at Gathers
burg Is Of great Importance, be.
cause 1t is on the main highway
between Washington and the West.
The communication between
Washington and its surrounding
territory and the part Of the state
known as Southern Maryland IL
also Of great interest because Of
the business and social relations
which exist between these sections.
The Robert Grain Highway and
the National Defense Highway, to.
gether with the new road now
practically finished in the lower
part of South-rn Maryland, bring
all that section of Maryland into
much closer and better comunica-
tion with both Washington and
Baltimore.
We should not overlook the ben
eft to the public schools which
such an extensive highway pro-
gram affords. Better roads make
better schools. They furnish inn
proved facilities foI getting to the
schools, and thus increase the con-
venience and the attendance Of the
pupils, anG facilitate the CONSOLE
dation of elementary schools in
proper cases. The progress Of the
public school system all over Mary.

The spirit of cooperation which
Maryland is anxious to manifest
in all these regional improvements
is not confined to the subjects

undertakings will be proposed
from time to time, and we want
20 consider and do our part in all
CT them in the same spirit of mu-

Until the arrival Of the new baby

Of the family. A faint trace Of jeal-

where the new arrival came from.
The mothers reply was that the baby
had come from heaven.
"Did I come from heaven, motherY'
was the next question.
"Why, yes, Bobby" the mother
replied.

Governor Of Maryland
From Review Of Review

about to be extended and new
parks established. Rock Creek
Park will have an extension into
Maryland, and Sligo Valley, the
valley Of Cabin John Run, and the
valley of the Northwest Branch
will be added to the system.
One of the great opportunities
along this line which should re-
ceive cooperative consideration is
the main valley Of the Potomac
River. This, with its glorious seem
cry, is the natural setting for a
park unsurpassed in all the world.
The Cramton bill, passed by the
last Congress and signed by Presi-
dent Hoover, provides adequate
funds for the immediate creation
Of the park system recommended
for Washington City by the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, at total cost of $780,
100000. 1t also makes available
federal gift of $1,500,0O0 for the
purchase Of park lands in the sew
en- main valleys of suburban Mont
gomery and Prince Georges coun-
ties, in Maryland, extending from
the District of Columbia; and 1t
provides further federal loan of
100000 for eight years without
interest to those counties.
This total of four and a half
million dollars is the estimated
cost of the entire park system in
the Maryland valleys extending
from the District of Columbia.
It seems probable that Mont
gomery and Prince Georges coun-
ties will combine to avail them
selves of this loan from the Gov
eminent in order that this great
park system may be brought into
Immediate realization. In such
event. title to the park lands in
these Maryland valleys will con-
tinue in the state with recreation
al improvements and maintenance
paid for and administered by the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission
One Of the principal agencies
we have established to protect the
health and meet the necessities of
the Metropolitan District is the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission. The purpose was to
acquire the existing municipal and
quasi-public water and sewerage
systems in the area, to coordinate
them, and to see that water and
sewer service keeps pace as far as
possible with the growth If the
area.
This commission has jurisdic-
tion over about ninety square miles
in Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties. At the time of it's organi-
cation, eleven years ago, there
were about 100 niles OF water and
sewer facilities in the area, serving
less than 1000 houses. Today the
commission has acquired or con-
structed almost 500 mills, serving
nearly 1000 houses This work
represents a bonded Indebtedness

Ascribed to Franklin

"Ca Ira" was popular song Of the
French revolution. The words are of
uncertain origin, one version probably
being the composition of Ladre. a
street singer. The air was a popular
carlton by Buccourt, and a favorite
Of Marie Antoinette's. French writer's
say that Benjamin Franklin In speak
ing Of the American revolution often
used the expression "Ca Ira," which
means ut viii Succeed" The phrase
was caught up by the French.

Bomb-Proof Auto

The most costly and luxurious auto
mobile ever brought to China was
built in the United States for the
president of the Marking government.
The whole of the metal work on the
body Of the limousine, and even the
hood, is Of balf-inch thick navy steel
plate, which is designed to shed the
bullets or bombs of would-be assas-
sins. Two extra seats project from
the back of the car, built high enough
to permit the occupants to see for
ward over the hood. These win be &C.
eupied by special guards with machine
guns. The running boards are un-
usually long, for guards to stand, each
with a revolver In hand.

velopment policies and opportuni-
ties of the District of Columbia
and that ction of Maryland
which is adjacent to the District.
Neither of these sections can work
out it's future plans without re-
gard to the plans of the other.
The boundary line between
Maryland and the District cannot
be considered as a barrier sepa-
rating one from the other. In a
legal sense, Of course, the develop
ment policies of both sections must
be separately formulated, but the
interests Of botl require that this
be matter Of form only. The
plans and hopes and possibilities
of this part of Maryland and Of the
District must be comparatively
worked out for the common good
of both, because they are interde-
pendent.
Similar considerations with re-
spect to the portion Of Virginia
adjacent to the District, make Vir-
ginia a natural third partner in
our common undertakings.
am happy to say that during
my administrations as Governor of
Maryland, my state has recognized
ali this, and has contributed meas
urably to the fulfilment Of our
joint interests.
In 1927 we created the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, and gave it juris-
diction over coming, parking, per-
manent system of highways, and
other public works and utilities
necessary to the proper and ade-
quate physical development of the
area extending for an average dis
lance of ten miles from the Dis
trict line into Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties.
That Maryland commission CO.
operates with the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. It
first zoned the suburban portions
of these two counties, and for al
most two years the property in all
this rapidly growing area has been
enjoying the benefits and the pro-
lection of intelligent coming. That
this has been effected in a way ac-
ceptable to the communities con.
cerned, is shown by tie entire abb
sence of any serious attacks either
rpon the law or it's administration.
Along with this work the COM
mission has proceeded with plans
for an extensive park system.
AS practical recognition OF the
very vital Importance Of this, I
recommended to the Maryland Leg
islature of 1927 an appropriation
of 100000, which was provided,
for the acquisition Of park lands
in Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties. In addition to this, local
taxation in those two counties is
making available several hundred
thousand dollars more for park
purposes and an adequate amount
for park maintenance.
The parking program has been
tied in with the Regional Plan, and
It has progressed to the point
where existing parks are now

ALL PATENT OFFICE
RECORDS ARE BROKEN
Phenomenal Increase Is Due to New
Law Raising Fee.

BIZ Science SeTUice
WASHINGTON, June 24.-All
Patent Office records for the num-
Der of patents issued are being
broken during this week with 3,174
issued. This is nearly four times as
many as the normal weekly number.
The patents issued this month have
also broken all records with a total
of 1869, or about II per cent Of the
number which will normally be
granted for the whole year. Last
week 1,722 patents were granted,
and the week before the number was
1,497.
This phenomenal increase is not
due to any unusual activity of
American inventors, but to new
law which went into effect on June
1, raising the government fee for a
patent from $40 to $50. Inventors
whose patents had been allowed
rushed their final fees to the Patent
Office before the end of May, in
order to avoid paying the extra $40.
1t takes about four weeks after pay
ment of the final fee before the
patent is issued SO that the peak
now is being reached.

UNITED STATES
OF INDIA URGED
IN SIMON REPORT
Federation Government Is
Chief Proposal of
Probe Group.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
United Press STAFF Correspondent

LONDON, June Recon-
mendations in the second part OF
the Simon report on India today
we're believed assured Of passage
by the British parliament.
Chief among the measures advo-
Gated is a federation form of gov
eminent for India.
The report outlined in detail a
scheme for organizing what might
be termed a United States Of India,
with q. constitution entirely flexible
and susceptible Of wide modification,
and holding the hope that the in
dependent native states eventually
would Join the provinces of British
India, Of their own free will.
Dominion in Future
Important points in the report
follow:
The principle was enunciated
that "any constitutional changes
now recommended for British
India must have regard to a future
DEVELOPMENT when India as a
whole, not merely British india
will take her place among the con-
stituent states of the commonwealth
of nations united under the crown"
The attainment of dominion
status is left an announced objec-
tive of the British government as
rNf fur
It is an absolute condition for
development of self-government in
India that the gateway Of the
northwest should be safely held,
adding, I'VE hold that for many
years the presence of British
troops and British officers serving
in indian regiments, will be es-
Sential"
Separation of Burma
Immediate separation of Burma
from India was recommended. A
new constitution for Burma and a
separate Governor, with gradual ex-
tension of government, was recon-
mended. . .
The commission strongly recon-
mended ending the present division
Of authority by which native pro-
vincial authority is given control
over some matters, and others are
reserved" for the British govern
ment of India.
Extension of the franchise to 10
per cent of the population of the
present 2.8 percentage is proposed.
One of the most significant and
far-reaching recommendations Of
the report favored putting the po-
lice power in the hands Of the pro-
vincial governments.
