A program is being worked out be- tween the War Department and Vet- erans' Bureau, which now has about 500 men at Walter Reed. It is hoped to make Walter Reed a great medico-military center. Under this plan it is believed that there will be constructed two wings to the main building to provide additional wards, and perhaps three separate bulldings and additions. The separate builings are expected to contain a kitchen and dining hall, library, isolation ward, tuberculosis ward, observation ward, laboratory and morgue The constfuction departments of the Veterans' Bureau and of the Quarter- master General's office of the Army, it understood, will work together in the matt As =oon as plans are completed ground will be broken and construction started. Some funds will be available from the Veterans’ Bu- reau, and as soon as Congress meets in December it is expected it will ap- propriate the $2,000,000 authorized. Many patients at Walter Reed are housed in temporary wooden struc- tures built during the war, some of which are held to be dangerous. The fire hazard is great, according to offi- clals, who revealed vesterday that there have been several fires on the reservation. UPPER MARLBORO. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., March 7 (Special). — Prince Georges County Commissioners have just passed an order that the sheriff and his deputies shall have the right, when in thelr discretion they belleve it necessary, to use the county almshouse here as & place of detention for juvenile of- fenders. The purpose is to obviate necessity of detaining juvenile of- fenders at the county jall, along with adult prisoners. This action follows a request presented by S. Marvin Peach of Hyattsville that a room or rooms be set aside in the almshouse for juveniles. Peach was named to lay the request before the committee by a meeting of representatives of the League of Women Voters, Federation of Women's Clubs, Pomona Grange and Community Council, held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Patter- son &t College Park, this meeting being called by the League of Women Voters to consider the juvenile de- tention situation in the county. The commissioners named Dr. C. F. Maguire physician to the almshouse to fill the unexpired term of Dr. R. Apgar, resigned. A. (. Thompson was appointed a special officer for the collection of dog licenses in Surratts district for 1925. The Prince Georges County Board of Education has accepted the offer of the University Park company to reserve for school and playground purposes not less than five acres in that community. The board accepted, however, subject to its ability to erect a school on the proposed site. The Rev. Henry L. Durant of Georgetown, D. C., will preach in Trinity Church here next Thursday evening. Visiting clergymen are fill- ing the pulpit of Trinity Church each Thursday evening during Lent. The County Commissioners, the Orphans Court for the county and the County Board of Education’ all will meet in the courthouse here next Tuesday. A representative of an electric com- pany formed at North Beach, Md., for providing electricity for that town held a conference with the Upper Marlboro town: commissioners and a few residents at the courthouse here to induce the town commissioners to sign & right-of-way to his company to pass through the town with its lines, but he also proposed that additional stock be issued to subscribers here, giving a resi- dent of Upper Marlboro a place on the board of directors of the company and providing current for this town. It was explained that the proposed route is to connect with the Potomac Elec- tric Power Company at Oakland. Prof. Nicholas Orem, Prince Georges County Superintendent of Schools, spoke before the last meeting of the ‘Woman's Club of Mellwood District, held at the home of the club's treas- urer, Mrs. John H.
