Leaders Preparing
To Block Petitions
In Next Congress
House Chiefs To Request
Requirement Of 2I8
Signatures.

House leaders hope 70 block the
hlorz in the next Congress before pO-
ferusl administration foes have any
thing TO oppose.
They plan on the day Congress
meets to change the petition rule
which several times during the past
session threatened President Roose-
veIt'g program. They believe they can
prevent forced votes on such things as
the soldiers bonus. full pay-off OF
bank deposits and broad inf1ationary
proposals
The bonus bill passed the last House
even though il lacked committee sane
tion. It was forced to vote because
I45 of the ABS members signed petit
ton.
Representative Byrns OF Tennessee,
Democratic leader. said yesterday he
will ask the House to increase to 2l8
the number of signatures needed on
such a petition
1T takes a majority to pass any
bill" Bylns said. 1T should take a
ma ioritv to bring it up
An attempt was made last session
to change the rule 1t failed when
members who had pledged themselves
to support on-administration meas
ureS organized against it. They as
sailed the change as directed at what
ever bill they favored,
This time Bvrns said. "We will
adopt the new petition rule before
single bill has been introduced. Then
nobody can say it is directed at one
single proposal"

Special Dispatch 20 The star.
BALTIMORE. July 2l.--A recon-
mendation that the Maryland LesislA-
ture create a commission 20 beautify
Maryland highways by controlling bill
boards and filing stations along the
various routes Is embodied in q report
submitted this week TO Abel Wolman
chairman OF the Maryland State Plan
ming Commission. by Harry d. wiIlisr
jr. chairman Of subcommittee.
which has been studying the subject
for some time.
Mr.. Willar. chief engineer OF the
State Reads Commission, pointed in
his report 70 the success with which
a similar commission In Westchester
County. N. Y. has functioned in
besutifying roads within It's jurisdic-
tion.
a00-FoOt Right-of- Way.
The principal highway laid out by
the westchester County group. he
pointed out, occupies a 4Oo-foot right
of-way. with landscape planting on
either side, and protected by further
law which prohibits billboards within
800 feet OF the right-of-way.
The cost Of building such parkways
in WestChester County, Mr.. Williar
pointed out. has been about $50 .000, 900
so far. but this cost. he said. has been
more than counterbalanced by the in
crease in assessed valuations Of prop
erty on either side of the highways.
Mr. Williar's specific suggestions
were that:
/. The Legislature grant parkway
powers to the State Roads Commission
permitting the acquisition of abutting
property along highways for parkway
purposes to prevent encroachment of
structures
2. To have the Legislature give
power to some commission already in
existence to acquire parkway areas
along State highways for similar i'm
provement, the plan being for the
commission so designated to work in
cooperation with the State Roads
Commission.
3. The creation by the Legislature,
of an entirely new commission to carry
on the improvement projects in CO.
operation with the State Roads Com
mission.

LAKE is CREATED
WITH U. S. FUNDS
Opposing North Dakota Factions
Get Together to Solve Drought
Problems.

GRAND FORKS, N. Oak, July 81
R).-Old demon drought rests in a
watery grave in one section of North
Dakota, sunk without trace by the
cooperative effort of four communi-
ties.
A moving monument tells the story
of the demise-a lake miles long. 21a
miles wide, and averaging 4 feet in
depth.
The same territory was a dry, ugly
looking salt slough just few months
ago.
Farmers and business men of Grand
Forks, Ardock, Minto and Grafton
conferred in despair. Each group de-
manded stream dams be constructed
in its territory with the Federal funds
that were pouring into the State.
But cooperative thought solved the
problem 1t was proposed that one
dam, instead of four, be built. Across
the bed of dry mud and clay a half
mile grade was raised, and concrete
rock-rubble dam was constructed by
farmers working under the relief
set-up.
Waters of Forest River met the
barrier, backed and flooded, and
agrarian labor was rewarded with
fresh-water lake, where formerly au-
tomobiles had been driven over a
dried lake bottom.
Cooling breezeS carrying moisture
are one result. Thoralf Swenson,
State game and fish commissioner,
under whose guidance the lake was
created, says it has been a distinct
boon to agriculture in this area.
Waterfowl which have disappeared
from the section are expected to re-
turn this Fall. Tests of the water
are to be made to determine whether
it will support marine life so the lake
may be stocked with fish.
Six spillways provide an overflow.
minimizing danger of the grade being
washed away by the water.
Now the citizens of the four COM
munities have a new problem-what
to call the lake.
Each wants its name on the map.
Ardock has won temporary victory
as Swenson refers to it as Lake Ar
dock,

THIS is the name Of a number Of
parishes and places in the coun-
ties OF York, Somerset and North
cumberland in England. There are
also many smaller localities so-called
in many other counties. In old Anglo
Saxon charters, thorn trees fire.
quently occur as boundary marks,
which. from the great longevity Of
the tree. is quite natural.
The coat of arms here illustrated
was borne by one Thomas Thorne,
gentleman. Of Yardley Hastings,
Northamptonshire His grandson was
Thomas Dudley, who was a Governor
Of the Massachusetts, Bay Colony.
This name was early represented
IN New England by two Williams. One
settled in Boston, was a freeman in
Lynn. Mass, and in 1912 was living
IN Rhode Island The other came
from the County of Dorset, England
and was married in New London,
