Proposed Riverside Drives in
Maryland and Virginia

Governor Poards endorsement of the building of splendid
riverside drive and parkway along the Potomac River from
Mt Vernon Great Falls gives encouragement that the Vr
nia legislature when next meets may accept the terms Of
the Cramon bill and join with the Federal Government in the
construction of these great projects
What Marylands action will be similar riverside drive
and parkway in her territory between point opposite Mt
Vernon and Great Falls, is for the future.
The opposition of Maryland people removed from this
is to be expected but the matter should be of State
pride and the putting of historic part of that State in
and attractive position.

Listen, World!
BY Elsie Robinson


And nine-tenths of your trou-
bles would disappear
If you could realize that fact.
For most of your misery
Isn't caused by other people,
Or outer circumstances
It is caused by your distorted
and diseased
Attitude toward yourself.
You've cut yourself off from
the common life,
You've set yourself apart
from other people.
You've coddled and kidded
yourself
Until it has become a regular
hangnail.
No wonder you're all hot n
bothered!
Stop it!
Stop telling yourself this
fairy tale about yourself.
Stop thinking that you're
different"

sense of Importance
And alibi a lot of cuSSednesS.

So, give it up

Get wise to the beautiful and
important fact THAT YOU'RE
ALL OF A PIECE WITH
EVERYONE ELSE.
That we're all eating the same
brown bread. and drinking
the same sour wine. and hum
ming the same old song. and
waiting for the same sun to
come over the hill.
Realize that-and your whole
life will be changed.
For you'll never again feel

Isolationists And
World Peace

Editor, Times:
Sir: The isolationists and
the irreconcilables have opposed
and obstructed all the world
peace movements that have
been undertaken since the
World War. They opposed the
Paris peace treaty and got up
q separate peace treaty with
Germany. They opposed the
League of Nations and have
kept the United States out of it
for more than ten years. They
are opposed to our entry into
the World Court. And they op-
posed the Kellogg-Briand peace
pact and the London disarma-
ment treaty. And when we con-
slider that the nations of the
world are spending directly and
indirectly 70 per cent of the
national revenues on military
matters, it is time for the ma
tions to cut it down. Seventy
per cent for military purposes
and thirty per cent for all
other governmental purposes is
an outrage. In the face of this
fact disarmament should ap-

Limerick Murder Case

I sincerely hope the Wash

luck in solving this latest MUIR

Their failure to do so in my

Shortly after the plane was re-

that the pressure in this tank had

there would be held as a reserve

OVATION GIVEN
GOV. ROLPH AT
INAUGURAL BALL
Affair Proves To Be One
Of Most Spectacular
Events At Capital.
BY ELWOOD SQUIRES
United Press Staff Correspondent

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Jan. 7. U.P)
California first inaugural ball in
% years was history today - but
old-timers at the state capitol de-
clared the affair which ended carly
this morning was the greatest
spectacle of its kind in the states
history.
More than 10000 persons crowd
ed into the municipal auditorium
to dance, and cheer the advent of
the Rolph administration, while
half that number vainly sought to
enter the place.
Governor James Rolph was the
attraction of the evening.
AS he walked on to the floor of
the auditorium shortly after IL
o'clock the huge throng rose to
their feet from the dress circle
back to the galleries, and cheered
for more than five minutes.
Accompanied by Mrs. Rolph, the
new governor bowed and waved to
the assembly as spotlights played
on him.
Then the grand march began, led
by the governor, and followed by
celebrities from all parts of the
state.
1t was colorful scene, as the
long line wound around the audi
torium. Admission to the floor was
restricted to those in formal dress
Makes Speech
The crowd shouted for speech
from the new executive as the
grand march ended. He ascended
the platform and in a few words
thanked the audience for their
ovation.
Apparently everyone in the audi
torium wanted personal word
word and handshake with Cover
nor Rolph. He attempted to dance
with Mrs. Rolph, but was kept SC
busy shaking hands and greeting
people that he finally retired tc
his box and gave the crowd an op-
portunity to meet him.
1t was nearly a. M, when mem.
bers of the governors family per.
suaded him to return to his suite
at the Hotel Senator.
I'm not tired" he was heard tc
declare. There are still people
here who want to speak to me.
don't want to disappoint anyone.
A few more handShakes and he
left, ending what was certainly the
most colorful, spectacular and en-
thuSiaStic entrance into office any
California governor has ever ex.
perienced.
