In Mayor Races in Fairfax
Daniel Defeated
By Gibson at
Falls Church

Incumbent mayors were returned
to office yesterday in three Of the
four Firfax County towns holding
municipal elections, while an in
cumbent City Councilman defeated
'write-in" candidate in the only
contested race in Alexandria.
Mayor Burns N. Gibson of Falls
Church defeated Maj. L. p. Daniel,
former Mayor, by vote Of 236 to
lot.

sixth ward councilman, defeated
William E. Warne, a last-minute
"write-in" candidate, supported by
the Sixth Ward Voters League, by
vote of 480 to I'll.
Mr.. Warne's candidacy was urged
by citizens Of the northwest section
who opposed action of the City
Council in approving construction
of $7500,00O apartment project
in that area by the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co. of New York.
1t was the first time in a number of
years that Democratic councilman
has faced opposition in an Alex
andria election.
League members protested the
refusal of Registrar John Logan to
allow 104 persons who had registered
last week to vote. The league tele-
phoned Gov Darden for an opinion,
but the Governor said he had no
jurisdiction over a local election,
and it must be left up to the City
Electoral Board. Mr.. Logan main
tained that he had not actually
registered people last week. but had
merely taken their names for future
registration as 80 days must elapse
between registration and qualif1ca-
ton of voters.

given to the following:

R. Sherwood, Warren N. Watson,
Edgar Littleton and o. B. Campbell,
incumbents, and Robert B. Walker

Railroad service Is being provided
to the races at Charles Town, w.

be forced to discontinue part o1
their road improvement programs
because Of an anticipated decrease
this year in their annual gasoline
tax allotments from the State Roads
Commission due to gasoline ration
ing.
This was indicated in a letter
from the commission received yes
terday by Waldo Burnside, attorney
to the county commissioners, at the
weekly meeting Of the group in
Upper Marlboro.
In its letter the commission sale
that payments due the towns for
the fiscal year ending September
30, 1912, would be $27 ,709 80, based
on estimated total receipts from the
gas tax.
May Wind Up "in Red"
IF there should be a failure to
realize the entire estimated sum for
the current fiscal year." the commits
sion wrote, land payment is made
to the towns based on the estimated
income, it may have the effect OF
paying at this time a greater sum
to the towns than the ratio or per-
centage of actual receipts would SO
warrant"
In other words, it was explained
by Linden Briscoe, clerk to the COM
missioners, if the towns proceed to
carry out their regular road i'm
provement programs in anticipation
of receiving the $27. .709 80. they may
wind up in the red" if this sum is
not forthcoming because Of declin-
ing gas tax receipts due to gas
rationing."
During the last fiscal year the
towns received $28, ,709 81 from the
maintenance section Of the lateral
gasoline tax allotted to the county
from the State Roads Commission.
Road Closing Approved.
'It would seem advisable" the
commission said, Ito defer actual
remittance to the towns until after
the close of the fiscal year and
then to remit only their established
ratio of actual receipts credited to
the maintenance section Of the
lateral gasoline tax fund Of the
county"
The commissioners approved the
closing of that section Of the old
county road known as Branchville
road for a distance of 800 feet,
beginning at its intersection with
the newly constructed roadway over
the Branchville crossing Of the

Marc and Herman have been the
best of pals ever since the child's birth
and. as these pictures show, they pal
around constantly. indoors and out En-
cept when Herman is doing his turn
on the stage, he and the infant Tarzan
are busily playing around the coy six
room Maison bungalow.
Specifically Marc and Herman
seem to do many things in common.
The monkey for example. appears just
as content as the baby to play with the
toys While Marc bubbles along with
his own special brand of baby talk.
Herman mutters gibberishly as he
fondles the playthings. But while the
youngster grins and laughs. Herman
never changes his sad and patient ex-
preston.
Herman, like the baby has his own
wardrobe, The suits for both the play
mates were made by Mares grand
mother Mrs. Henry Maison.
A scientist would be interested in
noting in this strange baby-monkey re-
lationship that the young chimpanzee
is much brighter in figuring out some
things than little Marc. AS they play
together Herman often catches on TO
the operation Of different things that
stump the baby but as the months go
by the Maison youngster becomes
smarter and smarter in his actions and
his play while the monkey shows no
sign of any increasing intelligence.

The Pitiantjaras are proud lot
