Critical Condition After
Mystery Attack.

Police continued questioning 3O-

shed additional light on the mys-
terious and critical mutilation OF heI
husband, Romley Harvill, 26, OF l2l1
B street southeast, a street car motor
man.
Between gasps of pain, and in a
weakened condition from loss OF
blood. Harvill told police the crude
operation was performed on him by
two colored men, who forced him into
an automobile and drove him into
Maryland yesterday afternoon.
Unable to verify the victims story
detectives arrested Mrs. Anna Louise
Harvill and are holding her for in
vestigation. No formal charges were
filed against the wife. who, police say
has given them little information OF
herself except to affirm she would tell
all she knew if her husband dies.
Condition Is Critical.
Detectives we're able to interrogate
the husband only briefly before he
lapsed into unconSciousness last night
at Casualty Hospital Physicians said
the patient still was in critical con-
dition today.
The injured man said the two COL
ored men forced him into an auto
mobile as he stepped from his street
car at the navy yard car barn about
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He sale
one of the mer. mad a gun and he
was compelled to accompany the pain
to Twelfth and N streets southeast
where they transferred automobiles.
Harvill declared the men then drove
him to Maryland, to point in The
country he could not locate, where
they bound him with hSavy tire chains
and performed the operation.
The motornan said he could re-

had a dim realization that he wa

posted near where his automobile wa
parked. Harvill explained that h
drove home and collapsed on arriving

Story Is Unsupported.

HIGHWAY WIDENING.
MAY HIKE TRAFFIC
Merchants Told Probable
Benefit of Defense
Route Move.

Widening of the Defense Highway,
in all probability, will prove a boon
to the territory through which it
passes by bringing a double amount
of traffic into the area.
In the face of complaints from some
merchants along the road that the
vast amount of publicity concerning
its defects which followed the recent
auto-bus crash, in which five persons
were killed. has hurt their business.
leaders of the campaign to have the
road widened today pointed out that
this essential step probably would
double their customers.
Boulevard Example.
Such a result can be expected II
the Baltimore Boulevard's history is
repeated.
When that road was only 20 feet
in width and almost as full OF dan
serous curves as the Defense High
way now is the average daily traffic
flow over it was 5,274 vehicles, about
the same as the present daily average
over the Defense Highway between
Bladensburg and Lanham.
This. according to the Highway
Committee of the State Planning
Commission. was sufficient to justify
its widening from two to four lanes"
by the time the widening had
been completed in 1881, however" a
report of the committee states, the
average daily traffic had increased to
lo,006 vehicles. with peak traffic in
excess of 27,000 vehicles.
Alternative Course.
Had this large increase in traffic,
which developed Immediately upon the
completion of the improvement, been
visualized, it would have been appar-
ent that an entire new road, construct
ed along modern alignment and grade.
with right of way sufficiently wide to
prevent encroachment, would have
been a more economical solution OF
the problem and would have provided
highway of far greater convenience
and safety than that which resulted
from merely widening the existing
line"
The committee. which was headed
by H D. Williar. jr.. former chief en-
gineer of the State Roads Commission,
and included Nathan L. Smith, his
successor, also concluded that the
provision of adequate facilities tends
to develop additional traffic"
1t pointed out that in addition to
counts of existing traffic, efforts
should be made to determine potential
traffic by considering the trend OF
population growth, economic develop
ment of the local areas served, motor
vehicle registration and other factors,
Doubling of Traffic.
All of those things cause Mary
landers to believe a doubling of pres
ent daily traffic may be expected If
the Defense Highway is made ade-
quate. and a substantial increase in
its peak traffic of $4,000 vehicles a
day.
The Defense Highway is included
by the Planning Committee in group
of roads whose reconstruction and
modernization is termed the para
mount need of the present moment" :"
1t is classified as a road which. orig
inally "unplanned," is now carrying
traffic far in excess of its safe ca
pacity, with existing lines, grades and
width.
Its improvement is recommended
because it naturally belongs in the
planned system of State arterial high
ways. and is inadequate because of
insufficient road width. short sight
distances. bad curves and unsafe earth
shoulders.

Motive Considered.
County Policeman Elon Turner said
Tippett, who formerly lived at Cln-
ton, was brought there Saturday after
noon by William Taylor of the Six
teenth street address, his brother-in-
law. The fact that Tippett had only
IS cents in his possession led Police
man Turner to conclude he had
been attacked by some one who
thought he had more money with
him.
Tippett spent the evening with
friends at Clinton, Turner said aud

house of his late father, Wilson Tip

committed suicide two years ago
Young Tippett's body was found near

and believed robbery could be the
only motive for the crime.
An autopsy was performed by Dr.
James I, Boyd of Forestville, corr

probably would be no inquest and the
body was released. 1t was removed TO

Here's a charming dress of rust
novelty crepe that will be worn right
into the winter season.
The main dress is such an I'M
complicated affair. Even an anna
teur at sewing can make it exactly
like the original model. It's the
smart military collar of rust crepe
with cleaning metal threads with
its pretty frill stitched on afterwards,
which does the trick.
In black satin-back crepe with
white slipper satin trim, it's also
very effective.
Style No. 626 is designed for sizes

Opening lead-% K.

In the play of the hand I was
surprised to find number of good
players who failed to make their
contract simply because they were
careless. They boldly led out three
rounds of trump and, naturally, who
last got into the lead, he could see
that tie only way to defeat the
contract was to switch to a heart.
The proper procedure is quite SIM
pie. The opening club lead is won
with the ace. Two rounds of trump
are taken with the ace and king,
and then club ruffed.
Now declarer leads out his dia-
mondS, hoping that East, who holds
the high spade, also has three dia-
monds.
On the fourth diamond, when
East trumps in, declarer discards a
losing heart. In other words, he
gets rid of two losers on one trick,
reducing his loss to three tricks,
and thereby making his contract.

Tired Feet
Are Problem
for Expert
Troubles No Longer Can
Be Blamed on
Shoes Alone.
BY ALICIA HART

No longer are foot troubles blamed
exclusively on poorly fitted shoes
and too short stockings. These mat
tiers deserve attention, of course, but,
generally speaking, a woman whose
feet are tired and aching most Of
the time ought to consult a special
ist. She owes this to her health as
well as her beauty.
If your feet are uncomfortable
you won't enjoy walking, one of the
best beauty exercises in the world
Golf, tennis-even riding-will be a
burden instead of JOY.
Why not learn something about
your feet and intelligent ways to
care for them right now before you
start out to complete your winter
shoe wardrobe?
1t may be that your arches are
weak. If you have one of the many
symptoms (swollen ankles, fatigue

you get up in the morning are a
few of them, better consult foot
specialist and get his advice about
the kind of shoes you ought to wear.
You should not try to cut corns
yourself. If you can't get to a foot
doctor, maybe your druggist can
suggest a medicated pad that will
lessen the pressure of your shoe on
the corn and perhaps eventually
cure it.
Don't underestimate the inpor-
