Steps Taken TO Get Land
For East Capitol Project

Condemnation proceedings for the
extension of East Capitol street.
east of the AnacoStia River, and
for the widening and improvement
of Texas avenue, were ordered yes
terday by the District Commission
ers in the largest condemnation
cases adopted in recent years.
Action was taken ON recommend
ationS by the District surveyor, F.
F.. Healy, who said that East Capitol
street now is entirely blocked by
privately owned land between Ben
ming road and Forty-ninth street
and that at other points the road
way was too narrow for adequate
street purposes.
Mr.. Healy said the proposed con-
demnation would provide for the
acquisition of land needed for this
important thoroughfare" through
to the District line. Additional land
will be acquired along Texas ave-
nue. between Benning road and c
street Sc, since this highway plan
roadway is near East Capitol street
and. Mr.. Healy said, should be &C
quired in the same proceeding.

If you should happen to see two
men driving around in what appears
to be the first horseless carriage ever
built, don't jump to the conclusion
that they have robbed the Smith
sonian Institution.
They probably are Howard w
Dashiells and Thomas Gillen with
the 1900 Ford which they drive daily
from their homes in Alexandria to
their work in the new Quartermaster
Depot nearby.
Mr.. Giller bought the car five
years ago from a Pennsylvania
farmer for sl00 and until recently
he used it for publicity and adver-
tising stunts. Its ability to run 35
miles on gallon of gas and its solid
rubber tires made him decide to use
it personally.
The original body has lost its
fringed top, but the oil lamps are
still in use, although electric head
lights have been installed. The two
cylinder car is chain driven and has
an air-cooled motor. Lack of a
speedometer makes it impossible to
determine how far it has gone. but
Mr.. Gillen is sure it has been in
continuous use for AZ years and he
DRIVES it 10 miles a day to work and
back with an occasional pleasure
trip.

Bangust, Pettitt and Waterman,
awarded the Navy Cross posthum-

over Jolo in the bombing attack
commanded by 1t. Hastings that in
flicted heavy damage on several
Japanese war and merchant ships.
McLawhorn, another who won the
Navy Cross, was wounded seven
times but never quit fighting" the
Navy said.
Its account continues:
'Bangust and Waterman were
serving as waist gunners in two
planes and were wounded shortly
after the approach was made. They
continued to fire on the Japanese
Zero fighters, however, until enemy
bullets killed them at their posts.
Petit, first radioman of one
plane, refused to leave his station
when his compartment was flooded
with gasoline, although to have done
so would have saved his life. Enemy
bullets subsequently ignited the gas
oline and he was killed.
"McLawhorn manned both waist
guns alternately when gunners at
those points in his plane were killed.
He was wounded seven times, but
continued to fight. Enemy incen-
diaries ignited a number Of am
munition cases in the plane and
machine gun bullets in the cases
began to explode. The wounded
man calmly jettisoned the explod-
ing cases, risking his life in so doing.

pilot from drowning when his plane
