WOMAN At 122
HAS Sd TEETH

Margaret Lyle is cutting her
baby teeth!
Not that there is anything par
ticularly astonishing about such a
thing, but in this instance, Mar
garet is a colored woman, living
at Potomac, Md, who claims to
be 1872 years old.
On March 4, according to one of
her granddaughters, Eulie Wilson,
she will celebrate her 123rd birth
day. What's more, she will cele-
brate it in good health save for
the annoyance caused by her
third "teething" process. Margart
already has had her two normal
sets of teeth and these that are
now coming through are, to all
appearances, the same as those
that cut through the gums Of a
small. child.
Born in Leonardtown, Md, in
1911, just befor Americas Second
War of Independence" this tiny
old Negress had passed her half
century mark when Abraham Lin
coin freed the slaves. She was
not, however, ever a slave hersf,
her family having been freed sew
eral years before she was born.
She lives in a small abandoned
school house near Potomac and is
not, as in most cases of persons
who have passed their hundredth
birthday, helpless. She dresses
herself every day, makes her own
bed, and assists in the household
tasks, even to preparing the fam
lily meals. Her only handicap is
that she is almost stone deaf.
Margaret's husband, for whom
she bore IA children, died 40 years
ago and since that time she has
lived with her descendants. And
there are plenty Of these. Four Of
her children are living. About
dozen Of her Grandchildren, not to
mention some score or more great
grandchildren, also are still very
much alive. The generations do
not cease here, however. There are
also great-great-grandchildren and
two gre a t-great-great-gfandchil-
dren, the Oldest of whom, Chris
tine Jackson, is 6.
She attributes her long life to
keeping active, eating heartily, and
being a good woman"

volver in the basement room

vice president of the defunct Park

carpenter, of the 2100 block First
st. N. w. He was working on a
house next to the now vacant
Stuntz home, and seeing the door
open he went in to look around.
In the basement room he found
the pistol concealed. Saturday
Afternoon he took the weapon to
a D Street store to sell it, and
while there was taken into GUS
tody on a charge of carrying a
deadly weapon.
When Mr.. Huffman explained
the circumstances to Judge John
P. Mcmahon in Police Court to-
day, the judge took the case
under advisement.

RIGHTS Of WAY.
PROVIDED IN
MEASURE
Differences Between Falls
Church and County Would
Be Composed
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. 19.-Dele-
gate William D. Medley, of Arling-
ton, today introduced bill in the
house to give the county right OF
uniform front footage assessment
for installation Of the Arlington
county sewerage system. Another
feature Of the bill is to provide
taking possession Of necessary
rights of way for the system as
they are needed and thus save
the county the delay of waiting
until condemnation proceedings
are gone through.
The bill is modelled on the laws
Of several Eastern States and
would make the sewer system,
which will be county wide, one
project and the county board
would have the right to set a
county wide front foot rate.
Attorney Aids on Bill
Lawrence w. Douglas, Airing
Ton county commonwealth at
torney, spent the weekend here
working on the bill with Mr.. Med
ley, and the former explained that
property owners will be entitled to
Q hearing before any assessment
Is listed. It is expected the bill,
II passed, will save the taxpayers
much money in the sewer con-
struction.
Mr.. Medley introduced another
bill today providing there shall be
no. duplication Of services in cases
where towns and counties have in
stalled their own sewerage system.
The bill is aimed to clear up any
possible difference between his
county and Falls Church in the
laying of their respective services.
Parkway Fund Sought
The Arlington county delegate
will seek to have $4,000 appro-
priated for the purchase Of land
for the George washington Me-
mortal Parkway, to extend from
Mt. Vernon to Great Falls.
Arlington county has been un-
able to match a similar appropria-
tion made in 1882, but it is hoped
the county will be able to meet
the asked for appropriation dur
ing the next two years, the life
Of the appropriation.

 1 AND KID FRATTIN | FIGHT TO DRAW
Welterweights Put on Stirring Battle in New
 Haven Ring

New Haven, Conn, oct1s--( (UP) Andy Callahan, Boston, New England welterweight champion. and Make (Kid) Frattini, Italian titleholder. slugged 10 rounds to a draw here last night in the star bout on the New Haven Arena card.
 The fight was a nip and tuck af- fair from the gong and marked the introduction of welters here after two seasons of heavyweight fea- lures. Frattini found Callahan a more formidable opponent than Cocoa Kid, whom he fought sev- eral weeks ago and found little op- portunity to land his long-range haymakers. He earned draw in the final round after a fast ex- change with the Boston lad who was forced to extend himself to keep the pace.
 In the scheduled 10-round co. feature, Frankie Britt, Fall River Mass, scored technical knockout over Billy Bridges, Willimantic, in the seventh after opening deer gash over Bridges right eye.

 lily Malley, acting for Battalino. had notified Matchmaker Lou Wis., cusi there would be no fight unless the New Haven camp deposited $150 as guarantee Cocoa would make the stipulated weight, 13S pounds.
 So Viscusi made a hurried trip to New Haven, Tuesday, and re- turned with $150 check offered on behalf of Cocoa by former state senator Harry Durant. Cocoa Kid says he Battalino camp need not have had all that concern about his making 139. "I weighed 141h today" he said yes- | terday, land will make 139 easy" Not Worried The dusky Elm City battler has been fighting at a higher poundage l than the weight limit set for this
