The United States Supreme Court will
hear arguments early this week in the
legal battle over whether the boundary
between the District of Columbia and

on the Virginia side of the Potomac
River.
The question arose in litigation in
Virginia between the Washington Air
port, Inc, and the Smoot Sand and
Gravel Corporation, but the Federal
Government is interested in having the
question settled because of the extensive
improvements it is carrying on along
the river, and is taking part in the
presentation of the matter to the high
est court. The airport company is con-
tending the boundary line is at low
water mark. The sand and gravel COM
pany and Federal counsel contend it is
at high water mark.

are still quite short.
In this country especially the home

skirt that Is Just long enough now will
be too short in q few months II the lit
tie girl for whom It is made keeps on
growing In normal way and so mother
makes allowances by making the skirt
too long.
The best plan Is to cut the skirt with

skirt Is finished with piping or in some
other way without hem. TO turn down
the extra length at the top.
