back to kick and get off a nice
ount that went out of bounds on
the 3 yard line. The Notre Dame
fans groaned, it looked like the ball
game was over.
However, a minute later these
same fans were cheering them
selves hoarse. On the first play
from scrimmage Savoldi took the
ball off guard, fought his way

THE development of East Capitol

ture projects for the identification of
Washington. This plan was devised
by the Beaux Arts Institute and ap-
proved by various Federal commits

dream of DR.. George C. Havenner,
who began to boost the idea IS years
ago and never ceased until it was
completed.
Anacostia Parks most exquisite
feature is the lane Of American crab
apple trees between the Eleventh
Street and Pennsylvania Avenue
Bridges. When they mature, un-
doubtedly the trees will rival in fra
GRANGE and color the world-famous
japanese cherry blossoms around the
Tidal Basin. Another interesting spot
in this park is the National Memorial
Grove Of trees closely associated with
historical events, places and persons.
During the last IS years the Park
Commission has been quietly acquir-

War forts surrounding the city. Many
are still well preserved. They all
afford wonderful park features

from Conrad's boarding house on New
Jersey avenue and c street to take
the oath Of Office as President. He
was not off Southeast ground that

President.
Zachary Taylor, that intrepid old
Indian warrior, is another President
unhonored in the Federal Capital.
President Taylor died in the White

laying the corner stone Of the WASH
ington Monument. DR.. William
Thornton is almost unknown in
Washington. although it was he who
drew the original plans for the Capt.

named for them in some new South
east project.
Half the vacant land within the
District of Columbia lies east of the
Anacostia River. This land" says
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, "can accommodate
at least 100000 additional popula-
ton" A well-known Washington
architect recently chose a home site
in this section. There Is no place
on earth" he says, more beautiful
or inspiring than the highlands
across the Anacostia River"
President Cleveland once selected o

owner learned his client was the
President of the United States he
raised his price five-fold over night
and Cleveland, like many others, went
northwest for cheaper land.

ideal location for a Washington art
colony-for the city has none. Away
from the pulsating noises Of the con-
gested metropolis, with a $4,000

a chain of historic fort parks in the
back, one could find quiet enjoyment

The avenue beyond the District line

main many years, but q bridge is
needed now to cross the river at South

shorten the distance between down.

fields. It also will connect the Ana

proposed Fort Washington scenic

According to the Civil War forts
project the fort drive will cross the
Anacostia River near the National
Training School for Boys. The pro-
posed bridge at the foot of East Cap
itol street will undoubtedly be
monumental bridge with memorial

grand eastern portal to the Capitol.
In q few years the Anacostia- River

Land already has been set aside for
q great national amphitheater, which
is to be built at the foot of East Cap
itol street bordering on the river.
Grading is being done on the site
This great outdoor coliseum, planned
to seat more than 10000 persons,

At present few monuments and no
statues grace Southeast Washington
but surely many will be added in the
future. This section teens with ira
ditions and is alive with history. Every
inch of its land has been trodden by
men famous in the making of Wash
ington. The Fort drive and its parks,
the new bridges and their plaza en-
frances all offer unusual opportuni-
ties for memorials.
A statue of Capt. John Smith may
mark the spot in Anacostia Park
where he landed in 1908 while ex-
ploring the tributaries of the Chesa-
peake Bay. A great monument may
be erected in the future to Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, who as a youth
attended Hines Junior High School

Of these objections exists. The last tc

THE immediate need in the rapidly
developing southeast is a new
Pennsylvania avenue bridge. The ex-
isting bridge, the main route to

nor can it adequately accommodate
the flow of traffic in that direction.
Already $4,000 appropriation has

for this bridge. The western approach
near old Congressional Cemetery is
named for Commodore Barney, hero
Of the Battle Of Bladensburg, while the
eastern plaza is memorial to Andrew

William A. Maio, president Of the

r. MERGING from a century-old
r. eclipse, Southeast Washington
- is slowly regaining its place in
the sun. For many years the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission has viewed with grave
concern the unbalanced development
Of the city, and now as the major
northwest projects are out Of the way
the commission next will concentrate
its efforts on the long-neglected east
and southeast sections. This body
has for several years discouraged new
projects that would further growth in
the already congested northwest area
to the detriment of other sections of
the city.
Originally the city fathers expected
the Federal Capital to develop chiefly
to the east and south, consequently
they faced the Capitol east and on
southeast land they built the House
wing and the Library of Congress.
Later, on this land pregnant with his
torical significance, they built the old
and new House once Buildings, the
Library Annex and the classic Folger
Library.
When the city was young Washing
ton aristocracy entrenched itself on
Capitol Hill, while the avid real estate
barons skyrocketed land prices in that
vicinity. But business sought cheaper
land in the northwest and great
streams Of population followed. The
Capitol Hill brummels looked with
longing eyes to the verdant highlands
Of Anacostia, but the pressure Of
modern conveniences drove them to
the northwest. Only the Navy Yard
remained and prospered through the
long eclipse of commercial develop
ment.

HIGHWAY RECOMMENDED
BY OCEAN COMMISSION

The "Wicomico News" of yesterday
Thursday contains the following:
preliminary study of direct high
way from Delmar to Pocomoke by
way of Salisbury has been made,
State Roads Commission officials
have announced.
"The statement pointed out that the
study was made in connection with
the statewide traffic survey now GO
ing on. The purpose was to learn
what kind of a road should be built
if the traffic survey shows the need
for such a route. The traffic count,
which has not been completed, will
show how many cars would use the
new route under study. The investi-
CATION, termed "a very preliminary
one, did not go into the type Of road
to be built.
"At the same time, officials of the
Ocean Highway Association, released
the partial text of a letter the asso-
citation had received recently from DR..
Homer E. Tabler, chairman of the
commission, saying that 'our survey
has been started between Delmar and
Pocomoke City.
CDR. Tabler's letter to the highway
group was in reply to a resolution
passed at the annual meeting of the
association in Wilmington, N. c., on
August IA, advocating the construc-
ton of dual highway along U. S.
Route through Maryland.
"The resolution, prepared and pre-
scented by Richard T. Pillsbury, vice
president of the association and man
ager of the Wicomico Hotel and Clar-
ence T. Morris, unofficial representa-
tive of the Mayor and Council and
the Chamber of Commerce, cited CON
gested highways and traffic choked
communities along the route, and ad-
vocated the construction of dual
highway as IAN absolute necessity, not
only to expedite traffic, but to safe
guard the lives of the travelling pub
lic.'
"a letter accompanying the resolu-
ton said The association desires an
immediate decision for construction
along Route Is in order to secure an
agreement from the Delaware Com
mission for. the continuance of Route
10 as a dual highway from Dover,
Del, to Delmar.'

the report had not been verified it
had been consistently rumored and

Good news to lovers of dance music
is the announcement made this week
that the committee in charge of ar

Dance has secured Frank Pinkerton
and his orchestra of Philadelphia for
this affair.
Mr.. Pinkerton needs no introduction
to the people of Pocomoke. He is a
former resident of this city and a
pianist of recognized ability. His or
chestra is composed of skilled musi-
clans and it is safe to say it is one of
the finest, if not the finest, orchestra
ever to visit the Shore.
A real treat is assured for those
planning to attend the Christmas
dance. The announcement is made
early so that suitable Accommodations
may be made for the unusually large
crowd expected. Table reservations
may be made any time by telephoning
