Arlington
Studies Three
Highway Plans
Substitute Street
For Military Rood
Stirs Conflict

The Arlington County (Va) Board
will meet Tuesday to approve a
route for a proposed substitute
street for the closed Military road
through Washington Airport.
Because of conflicting views on
the issue expressed by the public
and county officials yesterday, ac-
ton was deferred.
One plan, Endorsed by County
Manager Frank C. Hanrahan and
county zoning, planning and traffic
engineers, would cost approximately
5000. The Washington Airport
last spring paid Arlington $25 900
for the Military road right of way
through the flying field. Some be-
lieve the full amount should be ex-
pended, while others, feeling there
Is no obligation to do this, believe a
cheaper route will suffice If it serves
the public as well.
The proposed route under the $8,-
900 plan would locate the road from
the southeast corner of Arlington
National Cemetery across the al
ready acquired abandoned right of
way of the Arlington 81 Fairfax
Railway to intersect Columbia pike
at the old Relee station Just east
Of South Ives street.
Second Plan.
A second plan also would start the
road at the cemetery and traverse
the right of way until it reached 4
point at South Eighth street. Then.
instead of connecting with Colum-
bia pike, the route would veer left
and roughly parallel Columbia pike
to point on the Washington-
Richmond highway just south of
the Southern Oxygen Co. To &C
quire land and construct this Sec
ond route would require all of the
$2S, 600, 1t is estimated by engineers.
Among those who favored the Sec
ond route were J. Byron Brooks and
Horace L. Woodward of the Arling-
ton County Civic Federation and
Clarence r. Ahalt.
Board Member William p. Ames.
who had supported the second route.
proposed an entirely new plan to
meet the requirements of both sides
OF the issue. He suggested that the
second route be built, but in addi-
tion, connecting link be con-
structed from near the old Relee
Station to run diagonally for about
900 feet to connect with the new
route. 1t has been estimated that
this entire project would cost about
$32, 500.
To Straighten Boulevard.
On motion of Mr.. Ames, the board
appropriated mot more than 5000"
to acquire rights of way to straight
en- Washington boulevard at Quincy
street. The State Highway Depart
ment will take over the project for
construction when the land is OBJ
tanned.
Another appropriation Of $1,000
was voted to acquire the right of
way Of the Old Dominion Railroad
in Cherrydale for approximately
1,100 feet. This will split Lee high
way traffic around the Cherrydale
Bank and eliminate a traffic bottle
neck.

Press for Post Office
In Congress Heights
Section
Progressive Citizens
Association Names
Special Committee

It's plea for post Office sub.
station in the Congress Heights area
refused, the Congress Heights Pro-
gressive Citizens Association last
night appointed special COM
mittee to interview high post office
authorities on the proposal.
Notice of initial rejection of the
request was given in letter from
the Districts postmaster, Vincent
G. Burke, who in effect, held the
suhstation economically unsound
Letters concerning the matter are
to be sent to the chairman of the
House District Committee.
Petition Circulated.
The committee named to inter-
view postal authorities is composed
OF E. E. Richardson, T. D. Bowles
and Joseph L. Bockovac. The aid
Of the Congress Heights Citizens
Association will be sought. A petit
ton now bearing 1927 names is be-
ing circulated.
The election of officers was post
poned until next meeting, Deem
Der 4.
A letter to the association stated
that the Board of Trustees of the
Public Library recognized the need
for a branch library in the area
but voiced the likelihood that moth
ing would be done about it in the
near future because of the proposed
construction of a new Central Lii
brary.
The association was informed
that a Capital Transit Co., survey
failed to show Anacostia High
School students overcrowded the
buses or inconvenience other riders,
and that the associations request
for special school buses was re-
jected as impractical.
Ask Traffic Aid.
A motion by Mr.. Richardson re-
questing the National Park and
Planning Commission to produce
some means of transportation across
the Anacostia River in line with
South Capitol street was passed
unanimously:
Replacement of a mail box in
front of the drug store at 1924
Nichols avenue was asked.
How Often Do We Defy Not
Traffic Laws, But Our Own Con-
science" was the topic of speech
by Melvin Sharpe, representing the
Traffic Advisory Council. Mr.
Sharpe predicted the banning OF
bicycle traffic from main thorough
fares in the near future as a pre-
ventive for killing and manning the
city's youth. He also stated that
the change in the times had yelled
the realization of traffic danger in
the streets to fathers and grand
fathers who give toy vehicles to
youngsters to play with in the
streets.
Visitors from the West End Cit
liens Association were present. The
meeting was held in Congress
Heights School.
Thirteen new members were adj

SUGAR IS SUGAR, WHATEVER
 THEY SAY

one popular misapprehension which seems to be dying out is that honey is somehow more suitable than other sweets or sugars for persons who have diabetes. There is no ground for this notion. One with dia- betes can assimilate cane sugar syrup or glucose quite as well as he can honey.
 Cane sugar is sucrose. Milk sugar is lactose. Malt sugar is maltese. Grape sugar is glucose or deXtrose. Sweet corn, onions and unripe pota- toes also contain glucose. Another name for fructose is levulose. Levu- lose is commonly associated with glucose in plant ju:ces, fruits and especially in honey. Honey generally contains one-fifth water and four fifths sugar, and the sugar of honey consists of about equal parts of glu- cose and fructose 0evulose), with small amount of sucrose (cane sugar. sometimes. Honey has been used for sweetening medicines from the earli- est tines. That lingering tradition is the only reason for using honey rather than plain syrup made from cane sugar or corn syrup, so far as can learn, beg the apiarists to lay of this once, unless they have some definite scientific source or test to bring to my attention. It not that I don't like honey, for I don't, but we can't let these misleading traditions go on forever, you know.

 The perfectly groomed woman thinks of her neck as part or nec face. She begins cleansing ana creaming routines at the base on her throat--not at the chinline. She blends foundation and powder on her throat as carefully as she does on her face.
 In addition, she does special ex. ercises to keep the back of her neck relaxed and her throat line firm, smooth and youthful. Here are de rections for one of her favorite re- laxing routines:
 Sit in a straight chair with base of spine flat against the Dack ol " and feet together on the floor. Now relax neck and let head fall back ward as far as possible, letting lower jaw drop. Hold the position q sec. ond, then slowly turn head toward left shoulder, let it drop forward, slowly bring 1t around to the right and. finally, let 1t fall backward again. Mouth will be open except when head is in forward position. Repeat until all tense feeling in back of neck has disappeared.
 Now let hands hang loosely at sides and lean forward until head is between knees. Straighten up slowly, touching one vertebrae at time to the back of the chair. When center of backbone is touch- ing, place hands behind ears and lift head upward, making hands do all of the work. Notice how lifting from behind ears makes the lump on the back of the neck disappear and chinline seem more sharply de- fined.
 If the skin on your neck seems to be slightly discolored, bleach with fresh lemon juice one night a week. Simply clean thoroughly. pat on the lemon juice, let dry, then rinse off with warm water.

 Water from drilled well on our country place contains a lot of lime -so much that when I boil 1t il turns the kettle brown inside. Is il harmful to the kidneys or the arter- ies to drink such water? (Mrs. A. M
 Answer-If the water is satisfac- tory in taste and not polluted in any way, 1t is perfectly healthful to drink. No evidence to indicate that any one can get too much lime from drinking water. On the contrary, it may be a good source of lime which is deficient in the average diet.

But the point l would like to make is this: since 1t cannot be dis couraged easily, without sapping all the child's spirit and making a com plete end to ambition, parents might try developing 6ther char acteristics that will govern his con- duct. He might be made to see that his pocketfull of marbles means a heartache to Johnny, next door, who never wins anything. Why not let Johnny win? Or why not give Johnny some marbles for a pres ent?
 Ambition and acqusitiveness are assets or the opposite, according to the virtues developed along with them. Such a child needs lessons in self-control, kindness and sports manship.

I'll say this for honey. If you like the stuff at all 1t is more wholesome, more healthful for you, in my 1udg- ment, than is any manufactured sweet, with the possible exception
 Honestly, bee keepers, I hate to mention this, but candor and good faith compel that I acknowledge the nutritive value
 of old fashioned molasses.
 The reason why I place honey high on the list of. sweets or sweet eners is that honey contains more mineral matter than any other syrup or sugar, with the exception of mo- lasses. And old fashioned molasses at any rate, contains fair amount of vitamin B. There is no vitamin al all in honey, according to Sherman and other authorities. But old fash toned molasses is hard to find now. adays. The product of modern sugar. manufacture commonly sold as mo. lasses contains sulphur dioxide whict comes from the fumes of burning sulphur used for clarifying the juice of sugar cane, which is dark col. ored mass when expressed from the cane. The modern molasses also con. tains considerable lime, which is added to the cane juice to neutralize natural acidity and to. facilitate CO., agulatoin of the dissolved matter Old fashioned molasses was the un- treated product left after boiling down and separation of the sugar.
 Cows or goats milk contains 5 or ( per cent of lactose, milk sugar. For merly lcatose, sugar of milk, was much used for modifying cows milk for infant feeding, but in recent years other sugars have been widely exploited for this purpose. and moi only physicians but mothers have acquired the notion that other sugars are better than milk sugar for one reason or another. There s little real evidence that milk sugar, cane su- gar or corn syrup (glucose) is not quite as desirable in every way foi the purpose. .....

is A lot of trouble. Or maype we get all worked up by that whisper CT called conscience. Sometimes coaa- a,. science is fear, sometimes pet.sf things, but under 1t all we are ser fish. That is the way we are maoe.
 But this greedy child. Is he sheer extrayagant without heart or feel- ing? That can't be, because extra- verts are among our finest citizens. They can be as generous as the next one. And introverts, supposed ly the most generous and meek, are secretly the most self-centereo neonle in the world. There is no point to be proved by typing the nature of e child. Actually most children are a little of both. A good wholesome mixture of go-get- iyeness and lack of confidence.
 I think that the greedy. child, so- called, simply has 8 big bump oi acuuititiveness. To acquire IS part of the human temperament; to own things, whether they do us any good or not. It is used by the salesman, this weaknes o fours, to break down any resistance we show. He knows all the time, in the back Of his customers mind, something is say l ing: "You want this. It is sor1e- thing more to possess"
 There is no use in our trying to create alibis. We are selfish, we are acquisitive, and we don't mind show ing our fellow-men about a bit in the scrimmage to get there. Yet we go after the greedy child as though he were a criminal of some sort. Naturally he has to be trained to better things. He must be shown that rights of other people are to be respected. He has to see that he cannot always be cock of the walk. He has to give way, to share, to be a nobler person, and like 1t.
