In 1924, Thomas e. Donovan Of
Brookline, Mass, defied his family
and invested his whole savings Of
$1,000 to purchase a little hill in
North Conway, N. H. Today that
little hill is virtually worth its
weight in gold for it contains one
of the largest deposits Of beryl-
lium in the United States. Beryl-
ium, an element belonging to the
magnesium group, tripled in value
in past years because Of its i'm
portance in war time.

Pine Appointment
As Judge Urged by
brook|and Citizens
Association Hears
Rover Praise
Community Efforts

The Brookland Citizens Associa-
ton last night advocated the ap-
pointment of District Attorney
David Pine to the vacancy now ex-
istent on the District of Columbia
judicial bench.
Marvin M. Mclean, president OF
the association, in a speech advo-
eating the. appointment, emphasized
particularly Mr.. Pines local origin,
saying it was desirable to have as
many Washingtonians as possible in
key positions here since the District
had little representation in the ad-
ministrative branches of the Gov
eminent.
Leo Rover, for many years district
attorney, who addressed the asso-
citation on citizenship, also advocated
the appointment of Mr.. Pine to the
post.
Mr.. Rover named chief factors for
success in civic endeavor as intelli-
gence, courage and persistence.
Asks Confidence in Officials.
Mr.. Rover urged confidence in
governing officials, saying too many
people were quick to condemn and
to SANDER public officials or men
prominent in life when a vote of
confidence in the actions of the off,
cial would do much more good. In
most cases, the former district
attorney said, Investigations have
proven the investigated party or
parties innocent.
Mr.. Rover lauded the police de-
partment and the other depart
ments of the city government for
the good work they have done.
The work of citizens associations
in Washington also was praised by
Mr.. Rover, who said he could not
speak too highly of the good done
by many associations in obtain
ing improvements, particularly for
neighborhoods. AS an example, he
cited the widening of the Monroe
Street Bridge several years ago and
of the erection of the Michigan
avenue viaduct recently.
Branch Library Requested.
Daniel Masterson, secretary of the
association, authored a motion re-
Questing the erection of library
branch in the Brookland area.
The association asked that the
Brookland branch post Office be kept
at its present location instead of
being moved to larger quarters which
might be farther away from the
business center of Brookland. The
association also asked the branch
be kept open all day on Saturdays
instead of closing at 2 in the after
noon.
Paul Moore, president of the
Brookland BusineSsmen's Associa-
ton, said there probably would be
q Santa Claus Lane this Christmas
season on Twelfth street. Mr.. Moore
said the businessmen were desirous
of knowing whether Twelfth street
NE was to be widened so they could
determine whether or not to con-
tinue their efforts to have the grass
strip between the sidewalk and the
street curb concreted.
Reports on Covenants.
Mr.. Mclean reported to the asso-
citation the activities of his special
committee on protective covenants
1t was announced the Potomac
Electric Power Co. had decided
to erect power transmitting sta
ton in Brookland at Thirteenth and
Kearney streets NE. to augment
the power lines already in use in
the section. 1t was said the struc-
ture would be attractive and that
the machinery to be used would
present no annoyance to residents
A representative of the Red Cross
spoke, asking the fullest possible
support in the Roll Call.

Grace barrow looked at the baby

he had really heard her words. Two

Mrs. barrow picked up the binocu-

and looked at them.
One strong blow with these would
crack a skull, she thought. They were

crossed to the studio telephone near
the east window. She was only six
feet from the baby now, and fully 20
feet from Anna. She took the tele-
phone from its receiver and stood fac

at her unwinkingly.
The nearest police station was within
block and half Of her apartment
building. She had visited it a year
before, in connection with several
yal1abls e. possessions removed from her
cleaners. She had recovered her
treasures and she had liked the man
ners and personality Of the police SER
geant she had interviewed.
ALSO SQe naQ kept the telephone
number Of the station. An unprotected
young widow, living alone In a big
New. York studio building in which
comings and goings were rather casual,
might again need such knowledge. AS
she dialed the call Anna half rose.
I'D rather you stayed Just where
you are, Anna" Mrs. barrow said
pleasantly. In fact. I insist that you
stay where you are. Don't move One
blow of these binoculars" fingered
the heavy glasses-"would smash your
skull. I'd hate to use it, but I wouldn't
hesitate"
Mrs. barrow was now almost as much
at ease as she seemed. Her heart beats
were Quoted and the recurrent tremors
which had shaken her body in the
first moments after Annals arrival
were gone. She had the baby, she had
q weapon, she had Anna. Her voice
alone revealed her inner excitement to
Anna, who knew her so we'll

It wasn't. This was disappointing
But in another moment she was talk

the precinct, who seemed sure that
he would do as we'll.

1t wasn't quite as simple as that.
Captain Harrigan asked questions, but
not many. He said he'd come with
one man: He had only one man avail
able at the moment. Others could fol-
at Anna. The, maid was up standing
in front Of her chair, facing Mrs.
Darrow with lowered head, like an
animal making its last stand.

you've done by starting anything now

to the baby's side. She stood with
her back to the child and the window,
her eyes on Annals. A little interesting
conversation seemed indicated.
Are you in love with your husband,
Anna?" she asked the woman.
4No. l
The words were a snarl. It was in
creasingly clear that Annals character
and manners had deteriorated sadly
in the past six years.
That simplifies matters" Mrs. OAR
row said, and went on calmly: "You
will want to lie low for few months
