ON VIRGINIA’S HISTORIC MANTLE Arlington Folks Think Billboarda Like Price Tags Stuck on Coat-Tails of Ghosts of Lee and Washington. Arlington County, Va., wrapped in a mantle of hallowed historical asso- ciations, is all worked up over the| fear that its mantle is going to be obscured by an outbreak of bill- boards, 1t seems that the visitors who ven- ture into the county to derlve inspi- ration from the sacred scenes where Gen. Washington, Gen. Lee and other notables worked or lived come away instead with a firm resolve to hold on to that schoolgirlish color, to use nothing but cigars that are toasted, and to end carbon troubles forever by using Nox Carbonica, the New Motor Fuel. Try as you may, the Arlingtonites claim, you cannot sneak up on the county from any of its entrances without being confronted by belliger- gnboards. One hardly has left ores of G argetown behind him, en route to Ariii.ton Cemetery over tt Key Bridge, before he finds himself surrounded by con- fusing advice to what to drink, ‘majestic palisades of the Potomac do not mark tho spot where George Washington did not tell a lie about smashing cherry trees in his pop's orchrd, as they would seem to indi- ocate, but advertise a popular thirst Qquencher. Onward through Rosslyn the patri- otic visitor zigzags his way, and half a mile farther on toward Fort Myer turns his gaze toward the Potomac only to meet with a kaleldoscopic suc- cession of signs to lure his thoughts away from things more solemn than Pall styles for men, soap powder, tooth paste and balloon tires. Should he retreat hastily back to Georgetown and seek to fool the ad- vertisers by entering the county across the Highway Bridge he is forced to admit defeat as soon as he gears his non-skids to the Virginia soil. ’ Benuty to Iron. Pointing at him with accusing fin- gers are stern-faced business men who attribute their success to iron. ST, in their locks. Pounding at him with clenched fists are rah-rah boys who need cereal to keep them in physical trim. Flaunting their curves in his face are bathing_girls wearing Mod- esty One-plece Water Garments or staving off sunburn with skin lotion. Grinning at him ironically are teeth which testify before a walting world to the efficacy of Dr. Molar's Dental Cream. And gazing sorrowfully into bis eyes'are wall flowers who wonder ‘what insidious thing it is that keeps them from being popular. These are all matters not to be taken lightly, according to some of the nation’s foremost manufacturers, and the thoughtful sightseer conse- quently is overcome with a surge of mixed emotions as he plies his way unsteadily toward Arlington and Mount Vernon. Perhaps he hasn't been eating sufficient iron of late, he muses, and as the panorama runs off before him he usually has to re- strain an urge to gnaw a steel hinge Off the left front door. Residents of Arlington County whose familiarity . with these signs has led to a feeling of contempt be- lieve that the beauty of their his- torfc countryside is being marred by all these confusing suggestions which are popping up from ynsuspected quarters to baffle tourists who wish to visit the sacred shrines of nearby Virginia. It is for that reason that the citi- zenry is seeking a way to curb erec- tion of further boards in certain A AUGUST 14, 1924 parts of the county, and, if possible, to eliminate some of those already in place. The fight is being led by Frank G. Campbell, president of the Arlington County Civic Federation, and al- though one proposition based on & high tax scheme has been turned down by the county supervisors, the federation fntends to continue its battle until Arlington County again stands forth a all its virgin gran- eur. 4 HURT IN UPSET AUTO.
