ARLINGTON WORK
WILL Be SPEEDED
State Approval of Lee
Boulevard Alignment
Spurs Action.
BY staf1 Correspondent Of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
August 1o.-With notification received
today from the State Highway Com
mission that approval of the new
alignment and plans for Lee Boule-
ward was virtually assured in a few
days. and with bids for the resurfacing
Of 80 miles of Arlington County streets
to be opened Monday. County Manager
Roy S. Braden tonight was preparing
to throw his entire engineering and
road forces behind the broad improve
ment program and speed it through to
early completion.
Rejoicing over the arrival yesterday
of gravel shovel, which already has
been placed in operation in a pit OBJ
tained by the county near Lincolnia
Braden revealed that one of the causes
Of delay in getting the graveling prof.
ects under way had been overcome
and that 1t now will be worked on
full-time basis.
800 Yards a Day.
The shovel Is capable of producing
300 cubic yards of gravel daily. This
will be used on the county's secondary
streets as fast as it can be trucked
from the pit, the county manager
stated.
The resurfacing contemplated under
the proposals to be opened Monday
includes streets in Clarendon, Cherry
dale. Bancroft, Arlington and other
sections of the county where sewer
construction has been comp,-.ed.
On September IL more bids are to
be opened for the resurfacing of an
additional 60 miles of streets and
when the contracts for this work are
let the full street program will be well
under way, Braden believes.
Another highway project which fits
into the general plan for promoting
better traffic arteries is the widening
of Columbia Pike which appeared to-
day to be more likely since the Fair
fax end Of the pike has been absorbed
into the State aid system. Word was
received from Richmond yesterday
that the Az miles in Fairfax had
been taken over by the Highway Com
mission. This has been urged by the
Arlington County Board and the Fair
fax County Board Of Supervisors for
some time. the Arlington portion of
the pike having been absorbed into
the system more than two years ago.
Additional Traffic Lane.
With this much of the plan for
Columbia Pike accepted by the State.
the Columbia Pike Citizens Associa-
ton and other civic organizations
which have been interested in the
project may now concentrate their
efforts on the objective to add an
other trafic lane and cut the pike
through to connect with Memorial
Bridge
Approval Of the new alignment for
Lee Boulevard will be followed by
campaign to obtain the necessary
rights of way for the amounts allowed
by the State and the county.
Braden expressed the opinion today
that no difficulty would be encoun-
tered in purchasing the property with
ing the limit prescribed. The State
earmarked 100000 for this purpose.
with Arlington County agreeing to
furnish any additional amount up to
100000.
In addition to these sums the Works
Progress Administration a few days
ago allocated s150,000 to complete the
boulevard.

Projects to Take Year.
The only projects providing less
than a years work are those connect
ed with the Home for Aged and In
firm. That work will take about three
months to complete.
Some of the work will call for skilled
labor, with wages ranging up to $79
q month, but the great majority Of
workers will be paid the minimum of
$45 for manual labor
The six parks where $21957l will
be spent in grading and landscaping

Allen in the work sheets he sub

The liberal allowance made for the
Improvement OF school grounds fills
long-felt need in the District.
The Board of Education had tried
IN vain to obtain the approval of esti-
mates for such work in recent months,
but the District Commissioners at
that time felt money was needed more
urgently on other projects. With the
advent of the works program, how
ever, Commissioner Allen saw an op-
portunity to include the school
grounds among his recommendations
for work relief.
Money thus obtained from the
Treasury will be spent in accordance
with well-balanced program worked
out by the Board of Education TO fit
the most urgent needs of the school
system.

Sunday

Fedor Chaliapin, who will APP
pear here Sunday night at $3.50
o'clock at the National Theater,
is the MuSsolini of artists
sprung from the masses.
On the stage he is more
kingly than kings. At the close
of every performance, however,
the assumed Czar-like pose van
ishes. He comes before the
footlights in response to the &C.
claim always accorded him,
shorn Of his wig and royal
robes to make way for Chali-
apin, ex-Russian peasant, ex-ap'
prentice to a bookbinder.
At heart he is of and for the
people. There never was q time
when Chaliapin did not prefer
the company Of ordinary work
ing people to that of the fash.
ionable world.
While travelling, he likes to
invite a crowd of his fellow
passengers to share his meals.
He usually prefers to eat his
meals in his own drawing room
on the train, in picnic fashion,
without knives or forks.
His valet always takes a large
basket on tour, which is filled
with food; then he invites his
fellow passengers to share his
hospitality. In his childhood
there was no feasting. He is
still trying to make up for lost
time.
