WORK TO START
SH0RTLYA AT
GLENCARLYN

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE
Jan. 21.-Plans for development
Of a park area of approximately
so acres in the Glencarlyn section
OF Arlington county are rapidly
nearing completion and actual
work on the development is eX'
pected to be under way within
several weeks, it was learned here
today.
Residents Of Glencarlyn vicin-
ity will file a suit in the circuit
court here sometime within the
next two weeks asking that par
eel Of land comprising approx
mately 26 acres be conveyed to
the State Commission on Conser-
walton and Development to be de-
veloped as a park area under the
State supervision.
Work Due Soon
Officials of the commission
have indicated that work on the
development of the park will be-
gin shortly after the deed convey
ing the land to the State has been
recorded.
Supplementing this area will be
several other parcels acquired by
the county for additional park
areas.
That portion being supplied by
the Glencarlyn section stretches
along Four Mile Run between Car
lin Springs Road and Long
Branch, and is traverSed by the
new Lee Boulevard. The area was
originally set aside by Gen. Sam
uel B. Burdett and w. w. Curtis,
law partners, who planned the
subdivision of Carlin Springs, now
styled as Glencarlyn.
Original plans were to turn the
land over to the community as
soon as it incorporated as a town.
The community never incorpor,
ated and the land was held by
trustees until the death recently
of the last person acting in this
capacity. The suit filed for title
to the tract will prevent its rever,
sion to those owning adjoining
property.
Two Other Tracts
Two other parcels, approx,
mately 10 acres each, have been
acquired by the county to supple.
ment the Glencarlyn tract. One
Of these stretches along Four Mile
Run below that portion compriS-
ing Is acres, while the other runs
along Lubber Run, nearby.
The portion along Four Mile
Run acquired by the county was
formerly in a huge tract of land
once owned by George Washing
ton.
The suit on behalf of the Glen
carlyn residents will be filed by
Emery N, Hosmer, attorney for
the trust. Mr.. Hosmer pointed out
that the development Of this tract
as a park should be well under
way by midsummer Much of the
work in developing the area is eX,
pected to be done with CCC work.
erS.
Will Help Traffic
When completely developed, &C
cording to the plans now being
made, the park area will be ira,
versed by several roads including
the new Lee Boulevard, and will
afford improved approaches to the
Nations Capital. It is also calcu,
lated to relieve traffic congestion
now existing on the few roads
leading into Washington from
Arlington county.
Besides serving as a thorough.
fare for through traffic, the new
roads will also serve as a connect
ing link between the upper and
lower ends of the county.
Plans for the park, which will
mark the first project of its kind
in Arlington county, have been ap
proved by the county, State and
Federal officials. It's creation was
suggested by A. B. Cammerer, Ma
tional Parks director and a resi-
dent Of Arlington county.

JAIL GROWTH
ON REPEAL

Prohibition repeal has caused
a surprising" rise in the Federal
prison population. according to
testimony Sanford Bates, Prison
Bureau director, made before the
House Appropriations Committee
and made public today
The number of prisoners in Fed
eral prisons at this time last year
was 1926, while at the present
time there are 1854, he said,
adding:
81 think the principal cause
for the increase is the large
number of convictions for inter
nal revenue law violations.
up to the time of prohibit
ton we had an average of less
than 200 persons in prison for
revenue law violations. With
the advent of prohibition we
went to the high-water mark of
1888 commitments in year to
the Federal institutions.
when we repealed prohibit
ton we expected we would De
considerably relieved in our pris-
on population and for a time we
got some reduction.
But if you notice the figure
for the year ending June 30,
1885, you will see we had 4,5S1
persons committed for these viO-
latiOns, which is practically as
many as we had during the
time of prohibition"
Increases during the past year
were also noted in counterfeiting
interstate commerce act viola.
tons, motor thefts, sale Of illegal
narcotics and offenses against the
postal laws. Decreases were noted
in convictions for homicide and
white slavery.

MD. u. EXAMS
SYSTEM HIT

COLLEGE PARK, Jan. 21.-Stu,
dents of the University of Mary
land yesterday voiced disapproval
of what they termed lover -empha-
sis" in the grading of final exam
nations.
The Diamondback, student
newspaper, after making a can
vass of the student leaders and
faculty members, stated that the
vast majority of the students
thought the grading system un-
fair. Most of them favored the
substitution of weekly an d
monthly quizzes.
The Diamondback also stated
that, although the faculty mem
bers refused to be quoted, most
of them indicated that they were
heartily against the present ex-
animation system. Their oppo-
Sition, however, seemed to be
based o. the fact that the pres
ent plan leads to too much cheat
ing on the part of the students.

 Kay laughed. Sorry. haven't any"
 He slapped the little book shut and then stood up. "Okay by mel But when you get lonely in port just give me e wink. I'll be around"
 When he was gone Kay laughed softly to herself "The spoiled little bratl He can't be more than 22. In spite of his conceit. though, he's probably a nice boy"
 She settled back into her seat and remembered the look of quiet resolution on Ted Graham's face. She sat quietly for e long time, until suddenly she turned and saw Doris Lees angry face close to her.

 Kay looked back and saw Chuck Jones' blond head close to Alice Millers. Ills blue eyes were shining and Alice seemed enormously pleas cd. Her breeding, tinid air had somehow vanished and she was laughing at something he had said.
 In Q minute or two the co-pilot rose and walked past Kay with out SO much as c nod this time. Doris scowled after him. Chuck took the pilots place, and Q few minutes later the pilot appeared. He glanced at the two girls in uniform, but, just as he was about to speak to them, one of the passengers, a dowager, leaned into the aisle to say, "Boy"
 The pilot jumped as if he had been shot, but he responded cour- teously.
 "The plane passes over my daughters house near Pittsburgh" the woman said. Tits on Q big hill. I wonder if you'd 60 down low so I can see the lights of the house. I'm sentimental about those things.
 The pilots face concealed his mirth. "sorry, madame, but ct that point we can't fly lower than 5000 feet. Government regulations" |"
