cials, spurred by public sentiment
moved today to have the Defense
Highway widened at once.
The worst accident on the road, SO
notorious for fatalities it became
known as Death Highway" soon after
it was opened. caused aroused citizens
to demand it be made safer through
widening.
Although already widened from IS
to 20 feet continuance of the fatali-
ties and an ever-increasing volume OF
traffic speeding around its too-short
curves has convinced the State Roads
Commission it should be converted
into a three-lane boulevard.
Will Press for Funds.
Tuesdays tragedy caused the COM
mission to decide to press for immedi-
ate action on its application for P. w
A. funds, which will be used for the
widening, DR.. H. E. Tabler, chairman
said.
Joining the chorus of those clamor-
ing for action today was the Keystone
Automobile Club which proposed Q
dual highway, accommodating foul
lanes of traffic be built to eliminate
accident hazard.
Many badly laid-out curves anc
earth shoulders, in addition to the in
sufficient width of the road caused the

highway as one for which widening
is imperative.
damned on Week End.
Although able to accommodate the
average weekday traffic of $500 cars
without crowding, the slippery surface
of the road. its narrowness and bad
curves. result in as many accidents
during the week as on Sunday, when
its capacity of 10000 cars Is taxed tt
the limit and traffic is slowed to q
snail's place, police records show.
Prince Georges County officials, ir
whose territory most of the congestion
occurs, today said they would renew
their demands for relief through
widening of the road and construction
Of cut-offs.
Mayor Fred W. Cast of Cheverly
and w. r. Beattie, chairman of tn,
Bladensburg town commissioners ar,
in the forefront Of the movement fo
modernizing the highway.
OF all the dangerous places on tn,

Tuesdays collision occurred has th'
worst police record" according II
Sergt. A. w. Hepburn of the Prince
Georges County force.
Ten Killed on Curve.
Ten persons, including Washing
ton couple whose car left curve

have been killed there, police said.
A short straight-away between two
curves, neither sufficiently banked anc
both made slippery by oil surfaces anc
doubly hazardous by improperly main
tanned earth shoulders which dror
four inches below the concrete, the
spot combines all the bad features oi
the highway to create one of the
worst death traps" in the State.

more numerous indications of no

"In spite of the fact that final fig

revealed larger increases than were
in prospect at midmonth, the trend
OF sales thus far in July has been
strongly upward"
Expanding consumer buying of
Summer merchandise and vacation
requirements was found in nearly all
parts Of the country.
"The increase in sales over the
comparative week Of July, 1884, ran
as high as 40 to so per cent in some
districts, with the conservative esti-
mate for the country set at 10 TO 80
per cent" the review stated.
The volume of business in whole
