|ROAD bETTERMENT
WILL COST $1,000
Maryland to Spend Sum on

HYATTSVILLE, Md, February 25.-
Desiring to make the Baltimore Boule-
ward as attractive as possible during BIZ
cen .ennial year, the State Road Com
mission will spend approximately $4,000
derived from the new billboard law, in
roadside Identification along that high
way, officials said today.
The work has already started with
the clearing away Of underbrush and
rubbish along a stretch near Muirktrk.
This will be followed by the planting
Of several hundred trees at various
places along the boulevard and the use
of sod to cover some barren and un-
slightly hillsides along the right OF way
10000 Signs Removed.
At the time the law was put into
effect the roadsides Of the State were
combed by State Roads Commission
crews and 10000 small, unsightly and
illegal signs removed. Except for signs
advertising merchandise sold on the
premises, all other signs on the high
ways outside incorporated towns were
required to obtain licenses and pay q
fee.
The total revenue derived from these
fees amounted TO about $4,000, and
after expenses were deducted, about
sc, 900 was left for roadside beautifica-
ton In accordance with the terms OF
the law.
In future years the sum available for
roadside Identification will be allo-
Gated among the various sections OF the
State, but this year 1t was deemed ap-
propriate to spend 1t all on the Balti-
more Boulevard. 1t is expected that
there will be larger sum available for
this work in the years to come, as
expensive cleanup drives and the
tabulation of all licensed signs will not
be necessary. From now on the roads
commission will merely have to keep
present records up to date.

EARLY REPEAL

House Judiciary Chairman
Thinks Dry Submission
Likely Next Session.
BY MARSHALL MNEIL
Times StaF Writer

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-In-
dication that congress might agree
this winter to submit the prohibition
amendment to the people for a vote
was given today by Representative
Hatton Summers Dem, Tex
chairman of the house judiciary
committee.
This cautious Texan said he
thought it quite probable" that the
prohibition issue would be submitted
during the next session of congress.
1T is my purpose to favor such
submission" he said.
Summers statement is important
because he is head of the commit
tee from whence must come the bill
proposing a new vote on the liquor
law.

ificationiSt this week.
Summers has long been known by
his intimates to be opposed to the
presence of the Eighteenth amend
ment in the Constitution.
But last session he was one OF the
leaders in the fight on the Beck
Linthicum bill, on the grounds that
economic problems should be met
before the liquor issue was put be-
fore a depressed nation.
Says Question Is Ripe
Regardless of attitude toward the
liquor question" Summers new
statement said, the position of the
major political parties, and the
other indications of public attitude
and purpose, establish that it is
fact that the reSubmission of the
Eighteenth amendment, as it usually
is stated. is a foregone conclusion.
quite probably that issue will be
submitted during the. next session
of congress.
1T is my purpose to favor such
submission.
The question is ripe. The ma
tional campaign will be over and it
would seem as good time as any to
get this question back to the people
for the expression Of their attitude
and judgment with reference to it"

THOUGH she never was very
\ much of an admirer of men,
she had had love affair with
certain George G. Griscom Jr.,
Pittsburgh engineer with whom
she had become acquainted while
attending college.
He was Al years old and a bache-
Tor. 1t was learned that she
secretly had met GriScom in Bos-
ton less than two months before
and that she had pawned $500
worth of her jewelry for $50 while
there.
Griscom was in Florence, Italy,
and Dorothy's father and brother
FASTENED there, hoping that there
had been an elopement and that
she would be found. Griscom,
however, knew nothing of her
whereabouts.
1t developed that on the day
after Dorothy had so hurriedly
terminated her Thanksgiving visit
to Washington she had written
GriScom long letter-mostly
girlish, gossipy epistle, but in
which this apparently significant
paragraph appeared:
well, it has come back.
McClure'S has turned me down.
Failure stares me in the face.
All see ahead is a long road
with no turning. Mother always
will think an accident has hap
pened."
To this day, nobody ever has
been able to explain what that
omlnous paragraph meant.
Was Dorothy Arnold kidnapped?
That would be very diff
cult to accomplish on busy Fifth
avenue at las p. M, when a.
woman's scream would attract
crowds and policeman in q hurry.
Did she run away9 . How.
where, why?
More than 100000 was spent
by her millionaire father in the
search for Dorothy Arnold. Her
family finally came to the belief
that she was dead.
Yet, when Mr.. Arnold died in
April, 1922, and when Mrs. Arm
old followed him to the grave in
December, 1928, the mystery re-
manned unsolved.
1t is still a mystery.

THE most famous missing per-
Il sons" case in American his
tory is that Of Dorothy Arnold,
New York's lost heiress" who
vanished twenty-five years ago
and of whom no trace ever has
been found.
Her case ranks with the kid
naping of Charles Ross or the kid
naping of the Lindbergh baby as
one of the nations classics of
mystery, which time not only has
failed to solve, but actually has
deepened.
Here is the story of her strange
disappearance as it might have
appeared in the newspapers when
it was revealed by New York po-
lice on Jan. Is, 1911, six weeks
after she had vanished:
NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Fol-
L Moving a futile search of
more than a month, Deputy Police
Commissioner Flynn announced
today that Dorothy Arnold, Is,
daughter of a millionaire perfume
importer, and leader in New York
society, has been missing since
Dec. IL last.
Miss Arnold disappeared mys-
teriously while shopping on Fifth
avenue. She had an engagement
to meet her mother for lunch at
the Waldorf Astoria, but did not
appear.
The young heiress, who is noted
for her beauty, last was seen by
Miss Gladys King, a friend, as
she emerged from Brentano's book
store at Fifth avenue and Twenty
seventh street, about las D. m.
They chatted for a moment
about party that was to be held
at Miss Arnold's home on the fol-
lowing day, and then Miss Arnold
hurried away, with the statement
that she was late for her lunch
con appointment with her mother.
AS we'll as the family can esti-
mate, Miss Arnold had about $25
on her person when she left home
that morning.
No motive is known for her dis
appearance, as she was an I'M
usually cheerful girl, a graduate of
Bryn Mawr, an amateur author
and very popular in New York
society
Police have been unable to oh
tain any definite clews.

THAT was twenty-five years
Il ago-and that news is just the
same today, unchanged, for the
police still are without clews.

DIGGING back into her past,
- detectives found lot of things
that were of much interest, but
of doubtful Importance.
Dorothy, an aspiring author,
had submitted several stories to
magazines and they had been re-
turned. This naturally led to
good-natured gliding by her family.
A little later, Dorothy rented a
postoffice box-apparently for
place where she could receive her
rejected manuscripts in secret.
At Thanksgiving time, shortly
before her disappearance, she had
gone to Washington to spend the
holiday weekend with two girl
friends.
On Friday morning bulky
package resembling a rejected
manuscript (Which seems to have
been forwarded from New York,
though nobody knows how was
delivered to her; whereupon she
suddenly called off her week end
visit and went home.

PLAN BILLBOARD
VOTE CAMP AIGN
Roosevelt Cry to Be PIas-
tered Over Nation.

By Scripps-H OWdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-Ofh-
Gals of the newly formed National
Progressive League, which is back
ing Roosevelt for President under
the leadership of Senator George
Norris, are planning a huge bill
board campaign in carrying their
appeal to the independent voter.
M. D, Hildreth, executive secre-
tary, said today that Norris slogan,
What the country needs is an
other Roosevelt in the White House, +"
will be "plastered" on billboards
throughout the nation. Granted
that the organization can raise the
necessary funds, said Hildreth, the
bill poster program will be carried
out extensively.
In addition, the league will en-
deayor to put into the hands of as
many citizens as possible, a maya
zine article by Norris, why l Am
Better Republican Than Hoover"
In order to reach sections SER
weed by local radio stations not
associated with the chain broad
casters, the league plans to have
Norris make disk records for use
on the air. They hope to put them
on more than four hundred small
stations.
Not since the 1924 La Toilette
campaign have the Progressive ele-
ments concentrated effort.
With Norris, Mayor Murphy OF
Detroit; cambridge Colby, ex-secre-
tary of state; Amos Pinchot, Sena-
tor Edward P. Costigan and others
as speakers, the league hopes to
become a decisive factor during the
last month of the campaign.

1910 Dorothy Arnold walked out
of the pages of life and left be-
hind her a mystery that outdoes
fiction.
There have been a thousand
theories, a million rumors-but
not one shred of real evidence
which might explain where she
went, how she went, or why.
Her disappearance became a
nationwide sensation, compar-
able-in this generation-to the
kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby.
Pictures of her were published
in every newspaper in the land
but no community ever has
recognized her as a stranger in
its midst. Her wealthy parents
sent detectives to search for her
in Europe but this, too, was
without result.
Search for her body was made
in the waters around New York
but her body never was
found.
Dorothy Arnold's fate became
classic of mystery.

only in keeping Europe In turmoil
ever since they we're signed. The
KellOngg Pact, conceived of and
executed by tn same pack of rob-
bers, has had the same results--it
has embalmed the idea of peace
and has become an instrument of
war-especially against the Soviet
Union as was shown in 1929 when it
was quickly invoked against the
u. 8. S. r. in the China Eastern
Railway dispute. The sincere efforts
of the Soviet Union to bring about
complete disarmament at Geneva
were summainly rejected by the i'm
perialists statesmen, who do not
want disarmament, but only wish
to use disarmament" conferences
to fool the masses, while they pre-
pare for war.
The Chinese people and the Soviet
Union obviously cannot be defended
by following the pacifists who pious-
ly and naively place their hope for
peace in Nine Powers Agree
ments and Kellogg pacts.
The only way of struggle against
war is the revolutionary feminist
way-the ruthless exposure of the
pacifists, the mass mobilization of
