$148,000 impounded since the Hoover
administration, construction of the
equestrian groups at the Washington
end of the Arlington Memorial
Bridge which has been delayed for
several years, will get under way
soon, c. Marshall Finnan, superin-

moving forward again, Finnan an
nouncing that bids will be advertised
shortly for construction Of the new
three-arch stone bridge at the north
west end of Columbia Island.
Grading Job Accepted.
Dovetailing with this program was
Finnan's assertion that the Govern
ment has accepted the grading job
in the first unit of the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway, which runs
from Columbia Island to point south
of Key Bridge. Studies are under
way for carrying this riverside drive
underneath Key Bridge, necessitating
addition of a span to that structure.

ior Department, who is attached to the

sculptor Leo Friedlander. These de-
pict the arts of war and will be erected
at the Washington end of the Airing
ton Memorial Bridge. Two other eques-
trian groups, symbolic of peace and the
arts of peace, will be erected at the
Rock Greek and Potomac Parkway ap-
proach from models executed by New
York sculptor, James Earle Fraser.
Bridge Is Approved.
Finnan explained that the half size
model is the final one, from which
the granite carvers will work. doubling
the scale of that produced by the
sculptor. National Capital Parks Of
ficials pointed out today that the
Federal Governments contracts with
Friedlander & Fraser called for their
producing the finished product here
in Washington. This means that they
will supply the granite carvers and do
all necessary work here. The Bureau
of the Budgets release Of the i'm
pounded funds, with approval of
President Roosevelt, will enable
prompt payment to be made to Fried
lander & Fraser, officials asserted.
The new stone bridge across Bound
ary Channel at the northwestern end
of Columbia Island has received the
approval both of the Fine Arts Com
mission and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.

DRIVE MAPPED
ON D|PHTHER|A
Rutland Asks Public and
School Groups to Join
in Efforts.

A city-wide public campaign for re-
duction of the Districts diphtheria
mortality rate, now the highest in
the country, was being organized to-
day by Health Officer George c. Ruh-
land, with an appeal for extensive use
of preventive measures this Summer.
Members of parent-teacher associa-
tions, the District Medical Society, the
Medico- Chirurgical Society and par
ents of children who have not been
immunized are asked to join in a CO.
operative attack on the disease.
Attention to Pupils.
Dr. Rutland emphasized that the
disease is preventable through adop-
ton of available protective measures
and stressed that all children, not i'm
munized. should be treated before
school reopons next September.
Parents not able to employ the serv-
ices of private physician may take
their children to Health Department
clinics.
Writing to Mrs Walter B. Fry, pres
ident of the Congress of Parents and
Teachers. DR.. Rutland said, in part:
Medical science has been able to
eradicate diphtheria to a large extent
and most of the large cities are at the
present time conspicuously free from
this disease. It is rather disappoint-
ing to note, however, that in the Dis
,trict we have not achieved an equal
protection for child life against this
disease
20 Deaths in District,
"At the present writing there have
been reported since the first of the
year $50 cases of diphtheria and 20
deaths from the disease 1t should be
noted that the sole damage from
diphtheria infection is not expressed
in deaths. Unfortunately, many of the
children who are infected from diph-
liberia develop heart disease, which
will cripple them for the remaining
days Of their lives"

Stock Widely Held Here.

These are only few figures which
are being studied and pointed to by
more than 1000 stockholders, a ma
jority of whom are Washingtonians,
as having vital bearing on the plea
for higher fares. The matter is being
widely discussed in the financial dis
trict, many stockholders having paid
over S100 a share for the stock, which
sold yesterday at STATS share.
In some quarters the impression pre-
walls that the transit company wants
to abandon the so-called 81 passes.
The company does not wish to give
them up. but to increase the price to
SIPS, making the cost of all passes
ON all lines uniform. Any action that
will place the stock back on regular
dividend basis is being awaited anxi-
o,lsly by the shareholders. Naturally,
their views and interests are quite diff
ferent from those of many other street
car and bus line patrons.

rippling waves on the lake. Every thing was so glamorous and still and beautiful, 50 different from the noise and heat and dirt of the city It was fantastic, unreal. It sent Ann's spirits soaring again, though at her heart was the gnawing sen- sation of loneliness. Out there on the water were young couples in canoes. A guitar strummed.
 "The worst thing about the wide open spaces" Ann unused, 'is that there are not enough people in them"
 She was looking at the starlit heavens when, almost in front of her, she saw a mans body launch through the air in a straight dive to the lake. His head bobbed up, and he swan back to the dock at her feet with 6 powerful stroke. He lifted himself up on the boards, dripping water on her feet. Then he saw her standing there in the dark.
 "Oh, I'm sorry" he said. lHC GUIu WhLtI OIl IltI oJOShltIBo had made her cry out, but now she was laughing. "oh, that's all right"
 He lowered above her with his broad shoulders and trim figure of a crew man. Are you guest at the hotel?" he asked.
 When she nodded, he said lazily, I'm the head boatman, Ralph, Did you want a boatP"
 "T'm afraid I can't paddle my own canoe,' she said. Then she was glad 1t was dark, because she knew she was blushing. Her re- mark seemed audacious.
 "Oh, I'll take you out a while" he said. T don't mind. I haven't got aything else to do anyway"
 Ann laughed softly in the dark. What an extraordinary young manl

She began to wish feverishly that even Bill Ware had come along Any human being who would re- licve her of this awful fear that gripped her. The specter of lone liness.
 Ann got off the train pulled her hat down over her eyes, and strode toward the porter of the Glenwood Inn, her chin up. She needed buck ing up" again. When the man nov cd forward to take her bag, she saw that 1t was the same college lad who had served the hotel aS porter three years before. Her spirits rose. At least here was q familiar face. She did not fel 50 alone.
 The boy recognized her, and called, Right this way, Miss Hamiltoni"
 On the way to the hotel Ann chatted with him and he told her about the crowd at the hotel, about the weather, and about the dances.
 Are there many men guestsP" Ann asked, quite sure of herself with this employO of the hotel.
 The porter frowned. Well, not so many. Men are scarce at Lake Racine these days. I guess they all have to stock to their jobs You know how it is. Men can get reduced rates at summer hotels, If they'll promise to go to the house dances every night. It's that bad!"
 Ann smiled at this disloyalty to the place.
 Plenty of pretty young gIrlsl" the porter said, turning to grin amiably at her.
 That doesn't make me happyl" Ann said pertly, and the boy laughed.
 "Women are Q case" he said But my girl works up here, too --in the dining room. We have a good time, just ourselves"
 Ann said pleasantly, "I'll bet you dol" but her thoughts were far from complacent,
 When they drove up in front of the little mountain inn, the porter took her bags in, Ann reg istered, and then took Q quick turn about the lobby and game room, scanning the faces eagerly. With a feeling close to panic again, she recognized none of the pretty girls. And not q single man was to be seen!
 It was some comfort when the hostess at the lodge came to greet her. Anne was the same pleasant person Ann had known three years before, and talking to her was like greeting m old friend. There wns an air of camaraderIc about Aimee aS she instrduced Ann to some of the other girls.
 After dinner Ann wandered, alone, down to the boathouse, where she had spent many romantic moments three years before. The moon was shining down on the water.
 It was night filled with en- chantment, as are all first nights in the mountains after a year spent in the teeming city. There were faint

CHAPTER HI

On the way to Lake Racine Ann felt that adventure was in the air. What was to happen next? She was alone, and the sight of pleasant woods and broad fields made her forget the broiling streets of the city she had left behind. A record heat wave was in progress, but already, onl va few hours out, she could feel cooling breezes.
 Rather she sensed the cool mountain air of Lake Racine, which lay ahead of her, like Q glistening blue jewel in the midst of soaring green mountains.
 She thought of the vacation presents, snugly wrapped in her luggage. She thought of the smil- ing faces that had seen her off at the station; of her roommate, Alice, who was at the seashore; of the girls in the office who were awaiting their turns at taking va cations. There was Bill Ware who, at the last minute, had turned up at the station to say goodby.
 The business details of the trip had centered her friendship with Bill and she had had two dates with him. Once they had gone up the river on the bus with the other heat-ridden people, looking for some cool air. Another time they had taken the excursion boat on the river. Bill was Q good sort, she thought idly.
 But then she thought of her new nile green bathing suit, of the even ing dress - 0 cardinals red - which she had picked up at a Tuesday morning sale for almost nothing. She thought of the ami- able hostess at the Glenwood Inn where she was to stay, of young men like knights in shining arr nor, of tennis balls poised In q hand, or guava jelly lone of her gosng-away gifts), of the cow hoen on q long, low-slung roadster she had watched racing the train part of the morning, of electric fans, of speedboats on water, and of the travel book Alice had given her.
 But when she changed trains at River Junction, and found her. self once more on the dinky little mountain train which poked it's way up among the high mountains on the narrow gauge, Ann merely sat and watched the other vacn- tioners. A feeling of loneliness suddenly beset her.
 The others seemed to have brought their friends with them. They called out familiarly from one end of the car to the other. 'What are you doing tonight2" q boy called, quite unbashed, the length of the car. A pretty, slim girl seated with her mother at the opposite end. called back, Walk around the lake2"
 "Sure. See you When," the boy answered impudently.
 Tn the seat opposite sat a boy and Q girl completely engrossed in themselves. Ann wanted them to be honeymooners, so aloof they seemed, but once the girl pointed excitedly out the window, and said, "There's our cabin, John, darling, looki It hasn't changed q bit since last year" A cabin in the woods that belonged to them. A setting for their romance.
 Come on over to our camp" "Let me know when you want to play tennis" Cock tails ct 6, and bring everybody we know" Invitations flew all about her.
 Suddenly Ann felt a vast un- easiness. She was q little alarmed. Suppose she shouldn't meet even one man she liked. The mere repetition of such thoughts made her feel forlorn and lonely--afraid.
 Tn panic she wished she had gone to the seashore with Alice.

ECHOES of the Dark Ages come
 from the slopes of a mountain peninsula in Greece that juts in- to the north Aegean Sea. There rises Mt. Athos, the Holy Noun tain, on which some 7000 monks have joined in a sort of unique religious republic, from which all females, even female animals, arc excluded. Twenty large monas- teries are there, each with it's own ruler. and all rulers form a coun- cil that governs the strange land.
 First under the benign influence of Greece, then of Turkey, about 1000 years ago, and now back in Greek hands, the monks keep themselves entirely apart from the world, completely in ignor- ance of events outside. Mostly Greeks. the order also attracted Serbs, Bulgars, and Russians who sought the sequestered life. To them the sin of sins is sex; ac- cordingly, all women, and even cats, cows, and hens are barred. to keep the f16ly Mountain clean, godly. and thoroughly masculine.

If there is to be any change
In school hours the parents Will
have the first say.
This was made plain yesterday
when DR.. Frank w. Ballou. super
intendent of schools and himself
a parent, suggested to members
of the Board of Education, meet
ing at the Franklin School, that
parents would be the first ones to
feel the effects of a change in
school hours. The change was
recommended by Frederic A.
Delano, chairman of the Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
who feels that traffic hazards
would be lessened if washington
youngsters went to school either
a half hour earlier or a half
hour later.
The board agreed with DR.. Bal
lou and suggested that pupils be
requested to ask their parents to
submit their wishes. All agreed,
however, that nothing was to be
done until the next school term.
The board approved the open
ing of vacation classes July l. The
