Washington metropolitan area. The
total distance between the city lines
of Washington and Baltimore by way
of the projected parkway Is 81 miles.
OF this distance, miles are publicly
owned. Within the Washington re-
gion. including Prince Georges County,
nearly half Of the 13 miles of the park
way is in public ownership.
The District already has spent $4.-
100000 in the reclamation and devel-
opment of Anacostia Parkway and it
new has reGched the stage where it
should be opened for public use by
the construction of roadways.
Dual Road Project.
The Park and Planning Commission
has In mind dual road development
for the parkway, the two halves of the
road being separated by center land
scaped strip of varying widths, with a
minimum number of intersections.
I'VE have in this parkway project"
Mr.. Nolen said, "the necessary means
Of providing a magnificent parkway
system with connections to the north,
east and south, to serve not only local
but through traffic"
Sound development of East WASH
ington already has been started and
requires only proper stimulation and
guidance, recent studies of local trends
made by the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission indicate.
The proportion of building activi-
ties in East Washington to those in
other sections of the city has dou-
bled since 1888, according to the re-
suits of studies made by the Park
and Planning Commission. In 1888,
only II per cent of the total value
of building permits issued in the
District were for the eastern section
of the city. In 1884 this had in
creased to 26 per cent, in 1885 to
~ per cent, in 1885 to 80 per cent
and in 1887 to 37k per cent.
To-day" Mr.. Nolen said, approx
mately 40 per cent of the total build
ing activity in the District of Column
bia is in East Washington"
Population figures show a similar
trend. Between 1910 and 1880 the
population in the "old city, declined
by 13 per cent in the Northwest Sec
ton. On the other hand, population
in the Northeast quarter Of the old
city gained by 81 per cent and in the
Southeast by Is per cent.
Division Of Population.
The 1880 census shows that e2.5
per cent Of the population is con-
centrated in the Northwest section
on As per cent of the total area
Of the District OF this area, a large
part is included in the Mall, the Tri-
angle, Rock Creek Park, the central
business area and other sites which
are not available for residential pur-
poses. The Northwest section has
been practically all built up. While
there still are some open areas capa.

particularly as both are on the Mall
axis. One plan calls for great his
torical monument symbolical Of the
growth of the Nation, treatment
especially appropriate in keeping with
the proposed development of East
Capitol street as an Avenue of the
States" Around independence Square
under this plan would be grouped the
buildings Of the 13 original States.
Another proposal would provide sites
for more massive governmental build
ings around the square.
The plan for an avenue of the
States originated with Charles w.
Eliot, I'd, former director Of planning
of the Park and Planning Commission.
With the development of the Ana
costa Parkway as link in the pro-
posed parkway development to Balti-
more and south along the Potomac,
and the possible construction of a
bridge across the Anacostia in the
vicinity of East Capitol street, that
street in time would become major
entrance to Washington-an entrance
deserving of world renown.
The Anacostia River valley presents
an unusual opportunity for develop

Westchester County Parkway near

In Kingman Lake, Washington has
unusual opportunities for scenic ef-
fects and for water sports. The waters
are calm, without the rapids and rocks
which make the Potomac River dan
gerous. Use of Kingman Lake for
boating and canoeing would provide
q much safer recreational area than
can be found in the more turbulent
Potomac, it was pointed out.
The Anacostia Valley is Of great
importance from another standpoint,
however.
TT so happens" Mr.. Nolen ex-
planned, that the Anacostia Valley
stretches toward Baltimore and pro-
vides splendid natural approach for
a parkway into Washington from the
northeast. Extending south and
southwest, the valley also provides a
connection in the natural direction of
traffic flow to the recreational and
historical areas along the Potomac

He came toward her, beckoned
her to come out of the building.
Then when he could be sure Of
being heard, he asked, What
would we be wantin', miss?"
"I want to find a young man by
the name of Jimmy" she said
urgently. "That's all know of
his name, but I must find him at
once"
The laborer scratched his head.
"'Bout half the men working
around here are named Jim or
Bill" he said. Seems like when
they run outa names, they always
fall back on Jim, it being sorta
homey-like. And them that's not
named Jim or Bill are mostly Bob
or Joe. That's my monicker, Bill"
"But I must find this particu-
lar Jimmy at once" Noel urged.
'I'n take we to the Office" the
man said, and led the way around
the side of the factory to a small
building which was like a cottage.
On the door was written: office.
No Admittance Except on Bust
ness"
But Noel went in boldly after the
laborer had gone back to his work.
A fair-haired young man sat on a
high stool behind a cage. Noel
explained quickly why she had
come.
When she finished, he said in a
friendly voice, "Why. that ought
to be easy. Well just find a man
named Jimmy who knows girl
named Laurie"
Noel was almost able 10 smile
in her great relief.
The young man left the Office.
He was gone about 20 minutes.
When he returned, a young man
was with him, red-haired and boy
ish looking with kind, red-brown
eyes.
II only found about two dozen
Jims and Jimmy's, but this is the
Jimmy who knows your FRIEND"
the fair-haired young man told
her. Then added, "His name is
Delevan."
whats wrong with Laurie ?"
Jimmy asked in a a husky voice.
"She has pneumonia" Noel told
him gently.
She saw his face go white under
his tan. THAT'S terrible" he ex-
claimed. Then he turned. "I'll be
ready to go with you in about half
a minute"
He was wearing a khaki shirt
and dark trousers. He disappeared
into an adjoining room, and came
back wearing neat dark suit.

"Thank you so much, Mr..

She drove back rapidly, but the
way seemed endless just the same.
When they went in. Julian was
not there, but there was a look Of
relief on Ruth Chester's face when
she saw Noel with the red-haired
young man. She took Jimmy's
arm and said: Just be very quiet
and sit here by Laurie's side so in
case she opens her eyes. she'll see
YOU"
Laurie was very restless, tossing
her head from one side of the bed
to the other, failing her thin little
arms, using up what little reserve
strength she might have had. To-
day had been one of her worst
days. It seemed as if her frail
hold on life might be loosened at
any moment.
tn "a
her face toward Jimmy.
Laurie" he whispered huskily.
It seemed as if her restlessness
ceased in that moment. Her eyes
opened. She looked straight into
Jimmy's face. But there was no
recognition in her eyes.
She was quieter, however. all
during the long night, while jim
my kept his vigil by her side.
Noel hurried back from Luigi's
to find there was no change. how
ever. in Laurie's condition, even
though she was quieter.
The next morning, early, Noel
was standing at the foot of the
bed, Jimmy still in the chair he
had occupied all night.
Laurie lay still, her eyes closed.
Suddenly they opened. Hello.
jimmy" she said weakly. IT
wanted to" but she was too
weak to finish.
Her voice died away, her eyes
closed YEARLY. A faint smile
crossed her face and vanished.
After which she lay motionless.
Noel had never been so fright
ened. Was this the end? She
called Ruth, and the nurse hurried
to the bed.

CHAPTER 26

CHAPTER 26
TAKE MY CAR" Julian said,
as soon as he knew that Noel at
last knew where she could find
Jimmy. Then he added, Hurry,
but don't take any unnecessary
risks"
He meant of course that Noel
was not to let her anxiety to find
Jimmy and bring him to Laurie
make her drive too fast.
She promised him that she
would be careful, and a few min
utes later found her on the way to
Willow street where the Barton
Stave and Spoke company was
located.
A policeman gave Noel careful
directions. She was to follow the
cross-town car tracks, turn at
Riverview park, drive about five
blocks west, then about three
blocks south.
1t was a long way out there, and
seemed endless to Noel. She found
herself at last in a district Of small
shabby homes with the streets
growing more and more narrow as
she drove slowly along scanning
the numbers on the houses, and.
then quite abruptly the numbers
ended at a high board fence, which
was definitely the end Of the
street.
Noel looked about. puzzled. She
saw a sign behind the high fences.
Barton Stave and Spoke COM
pany."
So she had found it. The next
thing was how to get in. She
parked the car and walked around
the fence looking for an entrance.
Suddenly a voice spoke in her
ear. "What're you lookin' for
lady?"
II was wondering how to get
in" Noel turned and faced a
laborer.
"Tn show you the gate" the
man said and walked a few yards
down a plank sidewalk which was
practically hidden with weeds, to
where there was gate on which
was written: Employees Only"
Its not locked" he said and
opened it for her.
Then Noel stood inside, gazing
bewilderedly at the huge place
with its five or six buildings all
with numberless windows. No
doubt several hundred people
worked here, Noel thought. How
on earth would she find one man
out of all that number when all
she knew about him was that his
name was Jimmy? But she was
going to find him-that was all
there was to it. She would not go
back this time without Jimmy.
She had heard the whirring
noises before she had entered the
yards. But now that she was ap-
preaching the buildings, the noise
was deafening.
Nobody paid any attention to
her-this small, slender girl in
much worn tweed suit and a little
beanie" thrust over her pretty
curls. At last Noel timidly en-
tered a building where there were
a number Of men at work in la
borer's clothes.
She stood there for moment
undecidedly. Then she moved to-
ward a man who was in the act Of
lifting huge billet of wood to
place it on a sort Of carrier with
wheels.
I'm looking for a young man
by the name of jimmy" Noel be-
gan. trying to raise her voice above
the whirr Of the machinery. But
she couldn't even hear her own
voice in that awful din, so she
felt sure nobody else could hear.
The man she had addressed hadn't
even lifted his head.
Noel stood there growing more
perplexed every minute. Then the
man turned to lift up another bill
let and saw her. An expression Of
surprise crossed his rough kindly
face.
