POTOMAC RIVER
VALLEY URGED
AS PARK SITE
Congress Will Be Asked to
Restore Entire Section up
to Harpers Ferry

Acquisition and restoration of
the Potomac River Valley from
Washington to Harpers Ferry as
a National Park will be asked at
the coming session of Congress by
Maryland and Virginia leaders.
Congress will be asked to
authorize a commission composed
of representatives of Maryland,
Virginia and the Federal Govern
ment to determine what steps
should be taken to secure the
park.
Montgomery county residents
for several years have realized the
value of the valley as park and
have sought improvements in It.
They have asked that the present
River Road be extended to Whites
Ferry. about 20 miles above Wash
ington and that a highway bridge
be erected across the river. to con-
meet with the Leesburg road in
Virginia and replace an anti
quated ferry.
Replete With History
The proposed George Washing
ton Memorial Driveway from the
Memorial Bridge here to Great
Falls would be extended, under
plans of the park advocates, to
Harpers Ferry, while a similar
drive would be constructed in
Maryland.
On the Virginia side of the Po
tomac near Great Falls is the old
canal that George Washington
tried to develop. Old stone houses
whose massive walls show they
were designed for defense, are on
both shores. On the Maryland
side is the old Chesapeake and
Ohio canal, once the chief means
of transportation to the western
Maryland coal fields.
BattlefieIds Nearby
Famous battles of the Civil War
we're fought along both banks Of
the river between Washington
and Harpers Ferry. The victo-
rious hordes of gray-clad men
under General Robert E. Lee
crossed it on their way to Gettys-
burg and the same soldiers re-
crossed a few days later, bearing
with them the shattered hopes of
the South.
The commission, if Congress
approves, will determine how
much territory will be encom-
passed by the park and what
steps will be necessary for it's
preservation and restoration.
It is expected the park will
prove as popular with tourists as
the new Virginia National Park
and others in the Eastern United
States.

Ken Murray
Says:

According to the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau consumption of
whisky has fallen off since re.
peal. i wonder whether they
draw their conclusions from
fewer liquor sales, or fewer
death notices.
While the Government blameS
it on the bOOtIeggers, others
say it's due to so many States
still remaining dry. OF course.
being dry depends on whether
they count the votes or the
bottles.
Since repeal, it's really hard
to get an accurate check.
Things have been happening so
fast that even some liquor ages
four years in four days.
so REMEMBER:
The Government says the day
is coming when there'll be no
more bOOtleggers. Funny, they
don't mention the nights.

SULTAN DENIES
|. F UMES ARE
POISONOUS
Engineer Commissioner Says
Four Weeks Necessary for
Replacing Blair Unit

Health Department experts to-
day are testing the air in the
cIassrooms of the Blair School,
Seventh and I Streets Northeast,
to determine if gases from the
old hot-air furnace there are en-
dangering the life and health OF
the school children.
I Engineer Commissioner Daniel
I. Sultan explained that unless
this is found to be the case, the
furnace in the school will not be
replaced until next summer. In
stallation of a new heating unit,
he said, would take about four
weeks and would necessitate clos
ing the school.
Decide Today On Strike
Members of the Parent-T Teacher
Association of the school will
hold meeting today to decide
on whether they will allow their
children to attend classes on
Monday.
A committee of six women, who
yesterday threatened to organize
a parent strike" against letting
their children attend the school,
will report the action of the
Engineer Commissioner at the
meeting.
Commissioner Sultan said that
if the women want to have q
parent strike, "that'S their look.
out" He added:
81 don't think they would do
anything so foolish, but to strike
is the inaIienable right of the
people of the United States"
Denies Poison Gas
The Engineer Commissioner said
that the District would take steps
to see that no children are in
danger during the winter. He
declared that there is undoubt-
edly dust in the air, but that in
his estimation there is no poison
GUS gas.
He said tn a t his engineers
would investigate the possibility
of cleaning the air ducts of SCOT
deposits with a vacuum cleaning
machine.
The regular bi-weekly meeting
OF the Board of Commissioners
was not held today as scheduled
due to the absence of both Com
missioner Melvin C. Hazen and
George C. Allen from the city.
The PTA committee had in.
tended to present their demands
at the meeting for a new heat
ing plant in the school.

Bradley Farms Horse Show At Bethesda
Tomorrow Features Country's Best Mounts;

Model Man, by Sir Horace out
Of Tessington Amity. His dam
was owned by Mr.. C.. E. Cox and
she won Al blue ribbons and 10
championship ribbons in one
season. So from the looks Of
things Roland should be q big
ribbon winner this season with
this lovely pony.
The opinion of all the anna
teur jockeys and other horse
men that know about such
things is that Drinmore Lad Is
the best timber prospect so far
In the country. He is a lovely
five-year-old brown gelding that
Jim Ryan brought from Ireland
last July. On october 2S. with
very little cchooling, he won at
Peapack, N. j. At Llangollen
Last fall, he was second to the
great Trouble Maker. He was
third in the Carolina Cup this
spring. Won at CurleS Neck
Farm in April and again won at
Middleburg on Saturday. All
the horsemen are enthusiastic
and the horse talk of the last few
days does not get far without q
mention of his name. Jim Ryan
sold him to Paul Mellon-who IS
delighted with him, and Mrs. T.
81. Somerville, who has the best
string Of horses Of this kind in
America, told Jim Ryan she
considers Drinmore Lad the
top, and outstanding timber
horse"
