Lying on a bed Of pain in
Georgetown University Hospital
is a little old lady Of IS whose
hobby, baseball, was responsible
for her being where she is.
Since the beginning Of the
World War, Mrs. Elizabeth Ed
wards, married SIS years and the
mothers of six grown children,
has attended most of the major
and minor league games held in
the Capital city.
She knows all the players by
name, their weaknesses and their
strength. She is familiar with
all the sports writer's, baseball
announcers and peanut vendors
who haunt the Griffith Stadium
when the season is on.
She'll Be There
She has never missed an open

doesn't intend to miss the one

OYSTER TRADE
TBY FREEZE

RICHMOND, Va, March 25.--It
will take the oyster industry at
least two years to recover from the
setback caused by the severe
winter just passed, Richard Arm
strong, chairman Of the State
Fisheries Commission, announced
today following a survey.
The heavy ice pack over the
rivers and Chesapeake Bay ruined
some of the finest oyster beds and
it is probable that a closed season
on many of the beds will be
ordered next year.
The floods have delayed the
shad fishing, Chairman Arm
strong said, but fishermen are
hopeful the run will start in the
next few days.

WHITES FERRY
BRIDGE PLAN
REVIVED

ROCKVILLE, Md, March Is.
Believing a golden opportunity at
hand to obtain bridge across the
Potomac at Whites Ferry, Md,
since all bridges crossing the river
for many miles above this point
we're destroyed by the flood, Mont
gomery county authorities will re-
new their efforts for such a bridge.
The county commissioners point
out that the bridges at Brunswick,
Md; Harpers Ferry, w. Va, and
at Point Of Rocks, Md, were swept
away by the flood waters, and
both State and Federal funds are
expected to be made available for
these projects. They propose to
include the Whites Ferry project
also.
Although surveys have been
made for bridge at Whites Ferry
and Edwards Ferry, the former
site is the most favored by the
county board.
BY crossing the river at this
point, they declare, the bridge
would, with the construction of a
few miles Of roadway, connect
Poolesville Nd, with Leesburg,
Va. If constructed at Edwards
Ferry several miles Of road would
be required on both sides Of the
river to provide Quilts.
In reply to a request from Gov
Harry w. Nice for information re.
garding the funds required FOR re.
lief work, replacement of roads and
bridges and sewers destroyed by
the high waters, the commissioners
will petition him to consider this
project.
The project was also recommend.

ZepS To Spread
Propaganda
For NQziS

FRIEDRICHsHAFEN, Germany.
Details of the plan for the new
luxury Zeppelin, the Lz-129, to
serve the Ministry of Propaganda
by making a 4S-hour election
campaign flight this weekend
over all Germany, were revealed
today.
While displaying Nazi slogans
and broadcasting campaign propa-
ganda, it will be accompanied by
the true and tried old Graf Yep
pelin. Both will have large
searchlights and loud-speakers,
manipulated by the propaganda
crew.
The press is already playing up
the idea of the new dirigible as
another accomplishment of the
regime in power, although it was
conceived and it's construction
was started before Adolf Hitler
became chancellor.

HAT FOR KING
HELPS TRADE

LONDON, March 25.-Not long
ago King Edward, then Prince
of Wales, seldom wore hat and
his example was followed by
countless others throughout the
country. Then it was brought to
his attention that the hat in
dustry was suffering severely from
this trend, so now he Is setting
an example in the opposite direc'
ton.
Manufacturers are delighted that
the no-hat craze is definitely wan
ing. Nowadays the King is rarely
seen without a hat and as he
exerts great influence on fashions
both at home and abroad, 1t Is
noticeable that men are already
becoming more hat conscious.
Another factor in the improved
condition of the industry is the
imposition of sanctions against
italy, London normally imports
large quantities Of felt bodies
for women's hats. In 1884 the
value of these imports totaled
f375, 900.
This trade now has been almost
entirely captured from the italians
by British manufacturers. In
January of this year only f33 of
hat bodies were imported from
italy, against $4,000 in January,
1885. Hat manufacturers who
were running at less than normal
capacity have been able to put
the idle portions of their factories
to work on this new trade and
unemployment in the industry is
now lower than it has been for
wears.

One Of the least popular Of sug-
gestions for subways in the District
of Columbia has been the construc-
ton of underpasses for street cars
below such public buildings as the
White House, the Capitol, together
with such important intersections
as those at Thomas and Dupont
circles.
Proponents Of the idea give two
arguments in its favor: % that
it would increase the beauty Of
public buildings affected by re-
moving surface lines from their
vicinity, and ca that it would
make traffic conditions safer
around the buildings and the
circles.
Opponents claim that, If money
is to be spent in the quantity neces-
sary to provide the underpaSses, a
better plan would be to appropriate
