Work To Start Soon
On New Buildings Of
Health Institute
$l,5l7,00o Construction
To House Laboratories
And Living Quarters

Construction will begin imme-
diately on two additional laboratory
buildings and living quarters for IA
medical officers and their families
at the National Institute of Health,
near Bethesda, Md. DR.. L. r.
Thompson, director of the institute,
announced today.
One of the new laboratory build
ings will house the division of in
fectious diseases and biologics con-
troll. The other will be used by the
divisions of chemistry, pharmacol-
ogy and zoology. The cost of con-
struction is S1,5l7OOO.
With the completion of the two
new laboratory buildings and the
National Cancer Institute Building,
which was started last November
DR.. Thompson said facilities will
be available at the Bethesda center
for about 600 scientific investi-
gators, laboratory technicians and
research workers.
1t is expected that the Cancer
Institute will be completed early in
July, and that at that time the lab
oratories at Cambridge, Mass, and
in the institute buildings at Twenty
fifth and E streets NV, will be
moved to Bethesda.
The new buildings are being erect
ed on the original plot of As acres Of
land fronting on the Rockville pike,
which was given to the National In
stitute of Health in 1885 by the late
Luke I. Wilson and Mrs. Wilson.
Subsequent deeds by Mrs. Wilson in
1887 increased the grounds to about
so acres.
The new buildings are to be fin
ished by the spring of 1910. Each
will be so feet wide, 250 feet long and
contain three floors, two Easements
and an attic.

New Bridge Proposed
For Rock Creek
Traffic Bottle Neck
Massachusetts Avenue
spon Declared as
Cheap as Tunnel Plan

Congress will be asked by the
Commissioners to revise plans for
the treatment Of the traffic bottle
neck in Rock Greek and Potomac
drive under Massachusetts, avenue
NV. and to provide for the con-
struction of a new open-arch bridge
instead of the digging of a new tun-
mel through the high earth fill, it
was revealed today at the District
Building.
Costs Believed Same.
Engineer Commissioner David Nc
Coach, jr., approved finding by
Highway Director H. C. Whitehurst
that it would cost at least as much
to proceed with plans for the tunnel
as it would to build an entirely new
crossing for Massachusetts, avenue
over the creek and Park drive. The
engineers concluded the new span
would be more desirable both in ap-
pearance and in traffic facility.
Congress at the last session wrote
into the District Appropriation Act
for this year an item of $125 900 to
begin construction of a 100000 cul-
vert under Massachusetts, avenue
Award of contract has been delayed
because detailed estimates of the
project showed the cost would ex-
ceed the authorized limit and that
either under an open-cut plan or
a tunneling plan for opening the
new roadway through the high bank
would run the cost to some $537, 900.
Plan Proposed.
At the deepest point the fill, over
which Massachusetts, avenue is car
ried, is 100 feet high. At the base
of the fill, on the line of the exist
ing culvert, the fill is more than
200 feet in length. The plan ap-
proved by Col. McCoach proposes
that the $125,00O now available be
reappropriated together with an
additional $175,000, making 5000 900
available for work on a masonry
arch span to replace the present
entire culvert arrangement. The
additional $250,00O estimated as
needed to complete the bridge prof.
ect would be appropriated in the
fiscal year 1941.

Borrowed Car Brings String
Of Troubles to D. 6. Pair

A pleasure trip to Baltimore IN an
automobile borrowed from friend
brought nothing but trouble and a
short stay at the Baltimore central
police station for washington. cou-

Howard S. Dukes, "a, of 308 F

his companion, Miss Rose Marie
Spain, %, of 1882 Sixteenth street
NV, ran out of gas when headed
for Baltimore on the boulevard near
Waterloo, Md.
Leaving Miss Spain in the car,
Mr.. Dukes said he walked back to
find a filing station, and when he
returned with some gas he found
the car nowhere in sight. From a
nearby house he reported to the

Two Men Sentenced
For Stealing Safe

Justice Jesse c. Adkins in the
District Court today sentenced
Walter L. Gray and Charles Smith
to terms of Is months to 3la years
each after they confessed to stealing
a safe from the Washington Beef g.
Provision Co., ITO E street S.W., on
September IL, 1887.
Two other men earlier had been
found guilty of the same crime and
were sentenced to to Is years each.
Now they have been give new
trial on the basis of the confessions
by Gray and Smith.
The two men found guilty last
summer are Henry Milton and
Carman G. Quantrill, and they are
seeking an immediate new trial.

ton for new trial of the other two,

planned that truck had pushed her
to another filling station.
The couple started out, but at Bal
timore city limits they were picked
up by city police and no amount Of
explaining could make their story
ring true to the skeptical officers,
particularly since Mr.. Dukes had no
registration card for the car. Pro-
ducing title for the machine, made
out to Miss Helen Louise Hughes Of
1921 Connecticut avenue, he ex-
planned that he had borrowed the
car from Van Wrinkle Scott of 1416
Twenty-flrst street NV.
Mr.. Dukes and Miss Spain finally
were released after being held for
few hours. Washington police had
checked and found accurate the
story Of the sequence of events and
said the car had been loaned to Mr..
Dukes by Mr.. Scott, who had been
asked to sell 1t by Miss Hughes.

knitters Fooled Historians
For Years, Patent Group Hears
Expert Gets Reporter MuddIed, Too,
With Complicated Techniques

Homer declares that Penelope

suitors who f1ocked about her while
Husband Odysseus was away at
war, and reported killed, when she
had completed a shroud for Laertes,
her father-in-law, then stalled for
time by unraveling each night what
she had woven that day.
Robert H. Lawson has no quar-
rel with the Greek poets report of
the ruse employed by this devoted
wife, but he doubts that she was
weaving funeral pail.
She probably was knitting" says
Mr.. Lawson. who represents the
third generation of his family to
be identified prominently with the
knitted goods industry in this
country, because it is difficult to
unravel woven goods"
Although the expert devoted most
of his appearance before a meeting

machine knitting methods, he told
first of the crafts development

Mr.. Lawson expressed the view
that many references to weaving"

A chubby, blond headed little

testimony in Police Court showed
it was all mistake to accuse a

ganized in France, according to the
speaker.
He pointed out that Queen Eliza
beth has become associated with
knitting because the first practical
machine was invented during her
reign by William Lee. When In
ventor Lee applied to the court for
patent the queen told him to
produce device which would make
fine guage goods. He did so, but
Elizabeth changed her mind and
withheld royal favor. The father
of mechanical knitting struck more
hard luck when he moved to France,
for assassins disposed of King Hen
ry w just after he had become in
terested in the machine.
At this point in the story of knit
ting Mr.. Lawsoh's remarks and dia-
gram slides became technical, which
was what the audience of patent
experts was anticipating.

and cutting OUT banks of needles
