 Some of the boys are really go- ing in for bowling In a big way. They like Kingpins. However, on a recent bowling jaunt they only found duckpin alleys available. Bet ter luck next time. The bigger they come the' harder they fall even if it takes little longer.
 The gang advises me that even though they are not overseas, they will accept packages of cookies any time after the 10th of October. Just a moment boys! Thanks giving comes before Christmas and before that birthdays. However, in case any do come in they should be properly addressed-no return address is necessary.

 The fellow who wrote the song "When The Lights Go On Again All Over the World" must have forgotten that it stays dark pretty long after the bugle blows in Con- necticut, fall and winter.

Second Plea Made
To End 'IntoIerubIe'
Situation in Virginia

BY the Associated Press
RICHMOND, July 21.-Gov. Dar-
den has sent his second appeal to
officials in Washington for action
in relieving what he described as
Virginia's almost intolerable' gas
oline situation.
The Governors message yester-
day went to Price Administrator
Brown and followed by little more
than week a similar request sent
to Petroleum Administrator Ickes
urging a rechecking of this States
gasoline plight and an abatement
of what were termed harsh" and
"inequitable" gas restrictions. So
far the Governor has not received an
answer from Mr.. Ickes.
In his letter to Mr.. Brown the
Virginia chief executive stated that
the people of Virginia are faced
with an almost intolerable situation
on account of the limitations that
nave been imposed upon the use of
gasoline, and the severe measures
which have been used in the en-
forcement of the restrictions.
The Governor recalled that re-
ports have indicated that the supply
OF gasoline in storage. in the State
is such as to warrant similar treat
ment for Virginia as for States to
the south.
While stating that there is no
disposition here to question any reg
ulation which is necessary for the
prosecution of the war" the Gov
errlor said there is deep-seated re-
sentiment against what appears to
be unjust discrimination.

Alexandria Council
Refuses TO Grant
Rezoning Request
Real Estate Firm Loses
Move for Approval Of
Apartment Project

The Alexandria council, by a S to
4 vote, last night refused a request
by Graham & Ogden, real estate
firm, to rezone the Chauncey and
Duncan tracts on Duke street ex-
tended from Al residential to CO
residential to permit construction
of apartment houses. The council
considered the request for the third
time.
Opposing a rezoning motion by
George T. Bender, 1t Col. Everett
A. Hellmuth of the Virginia Protec-
tive Force pointed out that the ac-
ton would affect the entire city.
Il believe the council can estab-
lish a boundary line as is proposed
that will hold in the courts" Col.
Hellmuth said. However, I believe
that it will be but matter of time
before the council is asked to move
this boundary to Janney's lane and
then short step to King street road
and so on to the city limits.

Liz odAlC dl SulIleI1GS WHICH are
advanced in this case will be ap-
pllcable in every instance, and in a
relatively short time the most beau-
tiful residential area still unde-
veloped in our city will be built up
with apartment houses"
Col. Hellmuth said apartment
houses are necessary in the growth
OF city, but added that he is firm
ly convinced that the satura.ion
point for apartment buildings has
been reached in Alexandria, at least
for the duration of the war. He
said no further residential land
should be rezoned for this purpose
unless it cannot be developed other
wise.
ITO construct more apartment
houses in Alexandria," Col. He'll
muth asserted, will bring about a
condition after the war in which
there will be more houses and apart
ments for rent than there will be
tenants to rent them. This will re-
suit in a condition where tenants
will prefer to reside in modern
apartments in the residential areas
rather than in older property in the
city, thereby causing the loss of
revenue to the owners of the prop
erty."
Salary Voted.
A request by Arban Bros. to re-
zone tract Of land on the Rich

granted by the Council.
