a strike and two spares in the first
three boxes, before exploding with a
triple-header strike in the fourth,
fifth and sixth. In the seventh she
picked three-pin spare break. She
counted a fiat 10 in the eighth and
made a three-pinner for spare in
the ninth. She counted seven pins
on the spare and after again picking
a three-pin break, made two pins on
the third shot to top Miss Levy's
12-year- -old mark by just that many
sticks. Her score by frames was 20,

the odd skirmish, GIG to COS, as Lor-
raine GULL fired 157 in a 1862 set for
the winners and Mary Brown, 144
and 370 for the losers. The win
gave Hi-Skor a tie for third place.

Arlington Population
To Increase Sharply,
Hanrahan Predicts

Arlington County Manager Frank
c. Hanrahan celebrated his 10 an
niversary in Office today with the
prediction that the county's popu-
lation would about double from it's
present size to 100000 persons lin
a few years"
He said recent reorganization of
county divisions has put us in a
position to meet greater challenge
which will result from Arlington's S
development as part of the Ma
tional Capital Area.
War Curbed Development.
Pointing to the county's peak con-
struction before the war, and its
subsequent decline, he said, "Arling-
ton is not war boom community
It's development program was halted
by priorities."
Building statistics show 1914 as
the lowest year for valuations since
1884, with permits issued for con-
struction valued at $4,153,041, COM
pared with $1,154, ,45095 in 1884.
One of the major factors in fu-
ture development, he continued, is
the consideration of Arlington as a
single community, rather than as a
group of individual neighborhoods
This unihcation of thought by
citizens, he said, usually is found
only among residents of cities.
Cites 10-Year Record.
Predicated on population gains
which have almost quadrupled the
county's size in the last 10 years,
Arlington's expansion in that period
includes increases in living units
from 9,431 to 31,l06; street surfac-
ing, 127.64 to 252 miles; 26 miles of
