Irked by the claim Of two

not know as much about the
Government as women visitors
to the seat of government, the

Results Not Flattering
The result was really not flat

The two policemen, FIR a n k

ROAD PROGRAM
FOR MARYLAND
SUBMITTED
80 Projects Cost $4,000, 900;
BaItimore-AnnapoIis
Road to Benefit

BALTIMORE, Sept. 16.-Thirty-
two projects were included in a
tentative program OF highway con-
struction for Maryland submitted
yesterday by the State Roads
Commission at conference with
Governor Ritchie and public
works officials for this district.
The program calls for expendt-
ture of $12,O00,000, and includes
improvement of the Philadelphia
and Belair roads and the Baltl-
more-Annapolis Highway.
Financing of the projects would
be done with the $3,600,000 al
lotted to the State by the Public
Works Administration; a Federal
aid grant; $4,000,000 in State de-
bentures authorized during the
last session of the General Assem-
bly,, and available State roads
funds.
Twenty-Five per cent of the $3,-
100000 public works money will
go to the counties, and a similar
amount will go to Baltimore city,
under authorization of the State
roads commission.
The remaining SO per cent is
allocated to the Philadelphia,
Belair, Annapolis and Leonard
town road projects.
Part of the funds to be ex-
pended in Baltimore city will be
used to improve East Fayette
Street, which is an outlet to the
north for traffic from Washing
ton. A proposition also is being
considered to improve the Wash
ington-Baltimore Highway from
the entrance to Baltimore to the
center of town.
The Philadelphia road improve
l1ent project anticipates 56-foot
boulevard with sidewalk on each
side, from Baltimore city line to
Golden Ring, Md, and from that
point to the Susquehanna River
two paved highways of 20 feet
separated by six-foot parking
center with sidewalks on each
side.
On the Belair road 1t is esti-
mated $1,062,O0C would be spent
in the construction of a 40-foot
paved highway with sidewalks on
each side through the developed
suburban section of Baltimore
county, and then a 30-foot paved
highway with an eight-foot dirt
shoulder and sidewalk on each
side. This would extend to
Belair.

CLOTH|ERS FEEL
BUY CAMPAIGN
BENEFITS
Leaders Report Increase In
Sales and Demand for
Better Goods

Washingtonians are buying a
better quality of clothes than
they have bought the past two
years.
So say several local clothiers
who, in reporting that business
has increased recently, point out
that the desire for finer mer.
chandise shows that the public
has more confidence and opti.
miSm than has been shown for
many months.
The NRA and the Buy in Sep
tember" campaign are responsible
for the gain in sales in mems
and women's garments, it was in
dicated by several of the clothiers
interviewed by The Washington
Times in the seventh of a series
of studies of conditions among
local industries, the previous sur
veys having been made among
District jewelers., department
stores, druggists, florists, book
dealers and photographers.
"Prices Going Up"
In lauding the BUY in Septem'
ber" movement, being sponsored
by The Times and other Hearst
newspapers throughout the ma
ton, Milton R. Ney told of a
woman customer who came to his
clothing store to buy fine coat.
According to Ney, the lady said:
81 guess 1 had better follow
the Buy in September plan.
Prices are certainly going to go
up"
A tremendous rise in sales is
also reported by Ney, who states
that his business has been so per
cent better recently than it has
ever been in the history of his
establishment.
Evidence of better times also
comes from I. L. Goldheim, of the
store bearing his name. He states
that sales are better now. than
they were at this time last year,
in spite of the recent bad weather.
He said:
Marked Increase
"SeIIing has shown a marked
increase, and most buyers seem
to be interested in better quail
ity merchandise. This is caused,
1 believe, by greater public con-
fidence, rather than by more
money being in circulation"
Fred Pelzman, of the Fashion
Shop, in agreeing with reports
that finer goods are now in de-
mand, asserts that business is
good. He said he is looking for
ward to better conditions.
Thus, Washington clothiers join
the dozens of other local business
men who have given encouraging
evidence of a turn in the direction
Of prosperity.

American!"

The proposal that the Federal
Government impose a uniform
gasoline tax throughout the coun-

among the States, made by Sen
ator Harry F. Byrd Of Virginia,
has met with strong opposition in

Governor Ritchie, in stating
that he did not favor Federal col

the impost should be reserved to
the States. William S. Gordy,
State comptroller, concurred in
the governors viewpoint.

It's possible to stir up quite
an argument about the most ver-
satile track and field performer
in this years college ranks, leav-
ing aside the Observation-Disclosures
who engage in the decathlon and
comprise one-man team in
themselves.
Princeton's Bill Bonthron GER
tainIy stands out as the best all-
around runner on Eastern tracks.
The long-striding Tiger can do q
fast quarter-mile and he has dis
played iron-man qualities by rae
ing 500, 1900 and 1000 meters on
one and the same afternoon. At
these distances he scored three
victories against Yale.
Keith Brown, Yale's ace pole
vaulter, and George Spite, New
York University's great high
jumper, have been doubling up to
keep warm as well as to gain adj
ditionaI points for their teams.
Brown has cleared 6 feet 4 inches
in the high jump and Spitz won
the intercollegiate broad jump
championship indoors.
Ben Eastman is the west coasts
best all-around foot-raeer, but

Meanwhile it seems to Dale
Stafford, the Pontiac (Mich.) OBJ
server, that the University of
Michigan has the outstanding
track man of the year in Willis
Ward, negro sophomore, who will
carry the Wolverine colors in the
East's blue ribbon meet.
'In the past Ward has been
only high jumper and 100-yard
dash man; broad jump and high
hurdles are new to him." writes
Stafford. HE ran second to
Metcalfe in the 100 at Drake and
gave Jack Keller a great race in
the high hurdles at Ann Arbor
recently.
''He is only a sophomore and
barring injury I am confident he
will become one of the great
track men of all time.
Incidentally Ward viii be

such champions as Keller and
Metcalfe in two Of the features

ne will compete with George

Ward just missed making the
