FAIRFAX OFFICIALS SUED FOR TAKING PRIVATE ROAD JOB
WAR SEEN
RENEWED At
TREE DOOM

CHARLES TOWN, w. Va.
March 31.-A renewal Of the
cedar war" at Shepherdstown,
near here, was evident today with
the announcement that notices
had been served on cedar owners
that more trees are to fall before
the axes of the Department of
Agriculture.
Notices stated that they were to
be cut to prevent damage to the
orchard of C. D.. Wysong, who
denies this, saying he has never
experienced any damage from
cedar rust"
Nationwide attention was given
the recent cedar war when the
Voters League appealed to Presi.
dent Hoover to prevent the de.
struction. Miss Sereane X. Dand-
ridge, secretary Of the club and
large owner, had to be forcibly
removed from the field where she
had maintained constant vigil
over her trees.
Several times she threw the cut
ters' axes into the Potomac River
and locked their implements in a
warehouse, throwing away the
key. Failing in this, she raised
American flags.

professor of English literature and
dean of the graduate school Of the
University of Virginia, in his ad-
dress at Founders Day and conyo-
cation exercises at the State
Teachers College here.
IndividualiSm was given as the
keynote of DR.. Metcalf's address,
and he paid high tribute to
pioneers in the fields of states
manship, politics, science and
education. Modern education,
based on the mass production sys-
tenn, was declared by DR.. Metcalf
as destructive Of individualism
and the pioneer spirit which leads
to achievement.
A feature of the Founders Day
exercises was presentation of a
silver vase to the school. The vase
was donated by Miss Eleanor
Beatrice Marable, of Prince George
county, the first girl to file appli.

50 TAXPAYERS
ASK WORK Be
ENJOHVED

FAIRFAX, Va, March 31.-An
Injunction suit brought by T. p.
Johnson, OF Merrifield, and other
taxpayers in this section has been
filed with the clerk of the Fair
fax court with the purpose of
restraining the Fairfax county
board Of supervisors and the
county engineer from employing
county tools, equipment and men
on private road jobs and other
private enterprises.
The Injunction specifically re-
quests that the county be re-
strained from doing work on
the Greenway Downs subdivision
near Falls Church. The suit as
filed is supported by the sigma
lures of some 80 taxpayers.
Claim Authorization
The suit is said to be the re-
suit Of a feeling on the part of
private contractors that the
county should not attempt to
compete with their efforts to Sc
cure contracts for road work.
County officials claim that the
employment of county equipment
Tor such private work has been
authorized by the board of super
viSors after an opinion from the
attorney general of Virginia sup
porting the legality of this
procedure.
They hold that the use of coun-
ty machinery and employees is
a benefit to the taxpayers in
that the extra revenue earned
by the county is gained by use
OF the road equipment when it is
not needed for county road work
and that the road force can be
given more regular employment
and held together by doing such
private work.
County Engineer F.. N. Larkin
states that it is not the policy
of his office to do private work
when funds were available for
county work and that no attempt
was made to bid in competition
with individuals. He also said
that all of the regular county
construction work for which
money had been allotted was
finished early this winter and
that his office has taken only
as much private work as was nee
essary In order to keep his plant
running at a minimum rate.
Worked for Towns
In addition to work for private
owners, the county force has COM
pleted many road jobs for in
corporated towns in Fairfax coun-
ty, where the cost of the road
work was paid by the towns
rather than from the county
budget,
Commonwealth Attorney Will
son Farr states that it is not
probable that a hearing on the
case can be had until the May
term of court, but that he is
confident that the county Off.
cials have been working in en-.
tire conformance with the law

however, are determined to use
every effort to prevent The county

Cascade authorities are asking
themselves this question as they

IN selecting blouse of the washable
sort you should not merely satisfy your.
self that the material itself is washable.
Remember that the better grade crepe
de chine and wash silk Is much less
likely to shrink than the cheaper.
hirnsier sort. Pleated frills and rufiies
are attractive, but they lose their charm
once they have been washed. BE sure
that the buttons used to fasten the
Guns or to provide ornament TO the
blouse are of the washable sort.
1t Is always wiser to select q blouse

a colored material Is used for trimming
on q light blouse. If the color runs"
little in the wash no harm is done
in the monotone blouse-whereas If
a colored material is used on q light
