TRIPLE CONGRESS RACE ENLIVENED Second Virginia - District Rivals Speaking Daily With Vote Far Off. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., July 17.-~Reports from the second congressional dis- trict, in which a triangular fight is being waged for the congressional nomination, are that the candidates are on taeir mettle, speaking at least twice a day each. ‘ Representative Deal is fighting prohibition, Col. George C. Cabell, lvrmt;fly omolk. now of Pona; mouth, is ioning the cause of the drys and Alfred C. Smith is for law enforcement. The liquor lssue seems paramount. Deal is betgveen the crossfire of his two opponepts. He claims the sup- port of the larger business interests, while ultra drys are strong for Col. Cabell. Sgnith is having the support of some organizations. Camp Site Troublesome. The $ist Brigade, Virginia National Guard, has been in camp since last Sunday at the State rifle range, 1,600 strong. The absence of two com- panies—one from each regiment—has matarially reduced the camp attend- ance, and added to this is the release of the members of the Blues Bat- tajion, who went to France. from the camp show that the men have been working hard and that they have had the benefit of the ‘most favorable weather imaginable— ©oool, mostly dry, and with breeze enough to blow the mosquitoes off. In closing a road near the pistol range it was necessary to put one end of the barricade on private prop- erty, At night some person went out and smashed the barricade. Tele- phone wires, put up for the protection of persons who might want to walk along the beach while the firing was on, were cut in 15 places. Making Shooting Records. When the high record niade by the machine gun company of Roanoke became known and was discussed in camp, the additional fact that the riflemen were doing some pretty good shooting came out. The records for the several commands have not been compiled, but when finished this will show that the Virginia National Guard has about 50 per cent, who are quall- fled as marksmen. The Roanoke machine. gun com- pany set a record for the guard in the United States, it is believed, when 28.43 per cent of the members en- $uged in the machine gun work were qualified as marksmen, and 63 of the 66 men shooting were placed in the list as experts. Capt. J. O. Jor- dan, of Roanoke, is in command, and he is proud of the accomplishment of his men. The scoring of the shooters was made by a captain of the corps of instructors detalled for Virginia, and not by men connected with the local organizations. Capt. Willlam < CLARENDON, ! Va., July = 17 (Specfal.—Heeding the. urge of eciti- Zens’ associations all along the route, Supervisor Willlam J. Ingram will improve Wilson boulevard from Roas- lyn to the Fairfax County line, the work to start in about two weeks. In making the annsuncement of the | flags, coniymplated improvement viser Ingram stated today that the entire stretch is not tc be hard-sur- faced n“ v.hl:h time, ' “Bventually I want to give the people in this thici settled area a good n&"&‘m rfl from the Fairfax line Bridge, but available funds will not p;rml! me going that far at this time.” The plan of improvement, Mr. In- gram said, provides for resu ing of the road from Rosslyn to Lubbers Run, but just what the type of con- struction from there on will be has not been definitely 'deternilned. .He sald, however, that the humps and bumps, which for some time past have made the road almost impas- sible, will be ironed out sq that it can :)e used with a greater degree of com- ort., Putting this roadway in good shape was recently brought to the attention of Supervisor Ingram by Ashton C. Jones. In a letter to the supervisor Mr. Jones stated that residents of Clarendon and nearby communities who find themselves in Fall Church or vicinity must use a circuitous route in returning to their homes, The Lee highway, which is pretty gen- erally used by vehicular traffic com- ing from that direction, he pointed out, is getting very badly crowded and it was his opinion that the people of the thickly populated areas were due a more direct route. Copies of the letter were sent to the various civic organifations interested and the proposal approved by them. Further préssure was brought to bear on Supervisor Ingram at a recent meet. ing attended by representatives of citizens’ associations along the line of the proposed improvement. to the Key ) Costell Work by County Force. The work will be done by the county road force. Mr. Ingram ex- pressed the view that it could be done more economically this way than by letting the work out under contract, as hauling was the biggest feature of the work, and the county has its own trucks, which can be put into service.

July 17 (Special).—At the meeting of the town council Tuesday night Dr. John P. Bmallwood submitted a proposition'to the effect that if the council would furnish the necessary gravel or, cin- ders he would provide means for having them hauled and placed on Lincoin avenue from a point begin- ning at L. D. Roberts’ store to Green Gables. The proposition was re- ferred to members for investigation. Interest ‘money from the $75,000 school bond {ésue, amounting approxi- mately to $2,200, was directed to be added to the principal and made avail- :a;o to the school board in paying 8. Members of the school board ap- peared in a body and asked authority to borrow money sufficlent for equip- ment to be made ready when, the school term opens in September. Section 21, chapter 42 of the acts of the Virginia Assembly authorizes town councils to give authority to school boards to make loans to the extent of 59 per cent of the aggregate of county, district or town levies for school pur- poses. In Falls Church this would amount to about $10,000, but the board asked for authority to borrow only $2,600, which amount they think will cover the expenses of furnishing desks and seats for the puplls, desks and chairs for teachers; seats for the auditorium, shades for windows and complete glastering on the brick walls of the auditorium. Plan for Repayment. This loan will be repaid by the school board in annual payments of $500 for a period of five years out ot the appropriations made it each year by the town council for school purposes. The old. Congregational Church bullding was leased by the town coun- cil for a consideration of §1 a year, beginning August 1, for one year, to be renewed, if so desired. The bulld- in¢ will be used as a council room, but the school board could not legally turn over the building without special authority from the Virginia Assembly. The Assembly will not meet again for two years, so the lease was agreed upon in the interim. The council in turn gave to the library committee of the Woman's Club the use of the rear room ana alcove for library purposes for the term of the leasa. This committee ‘will furnish its own light and heat. An application by Mrs. Maybelle A. Mills, through her eontractor, to erect a garage on the property on ‘Washington street was refused on the ground that the buflding will not be a suitable type for that location. The mayor was instructed to take legal steps for the removal of a ga- rage on Washington street which is used as an icehouse and which, puv up without a permit, it Is said, is over the buflding line. ' The owner may be given permission to relocate within the bullding line. This is the first case of removal being ordered for lack of conforming to bullding regu- lations. Stewart Is Re-elected.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 17—It ‘would appear that for the special ben- efit of taxicab drivers, San Francisco * is going to make a determined effort: to eliminate jay-walking. At least, one day a taxl driver bawls out Georges Carpentier for indulging in one of this city's favorite pastimes, and the next day it is announced that a modelstraffic ordinance is being con- sfiered which will place pedestrians %u as strict restrictions as motor- The story about the French light- heavyweight is that belng in San Francisco, he did as the S8an’ Francis- cans do, and started to cross Market street in the middle of a block. Emerg- ing from between parked vehicles he stepped in the path of an oncoming cab. An accident was narrowly avert- ed, and the taxi driver figured the “jay-walker” needed a bit of advice about how to cross busy streets. He had hardly gotten well started in his lecture, which was being interspersed with picturesque expletives, when some one whisperingly advised the chauffeur as to the identity of his audience, whereupon, the story goes, the lecture was cut short and the taxi- cab vanished in the traffic. Perhaps this fncident and the de- termination of the city fathers to eliminate unregulated walking have the relation of cause and effect and perhaps not. But anyway, this me- tropolis seems about ready to take a tip from its Southern rival and make midstreet dodging one of the forgotten amateur sports. Ten northern Cali- forna cities are represented at the Municipal Traffic League meeting here in an attempt to standardize regulations for motorists and- pedes- trians. A uniform ordinance, based on the study of experts and generally following the system aiready in force in Los Angeles, is being considered. ADMITS $300,000 ROBBERY Man Held as Bank Hold-Up Sus- pect- Confesses in Milwaukee. MILWAUKEE, July 17 (®.—Mat- thew McNeil, arrested several days ago in Superfor, Wis., as a suspected bank robber, confessed today to par- ticipation in the robbery of the North- western Natfonal Bank of Milwaukee in December, 1924, when several rob- bers escaped with $300,000 in cash and securities. Heory A. Deigman, cashier at the Northwestern National, identified Me- Neil as the man who held a gun against his body during the hold-up. McNeil was one of a band of six arrested in Superior, but thus far none of the others has been con- nected with the Milwaukee robbery. Each of'the six was heavily armed, and & sawed-off shotgun was found in the automobile in which they were traveling. FREE SALES GALLERY. New Department to Aid Artists Opened by Chicago Institute. CHICAGO, July 17 (®.—A new department for the encouragement of .uruxsllng artists has been opened in the Chicago Art Institute called the ‘““Acquisition Roo ‘where ob- Jects of art of museum quality are shown. Friends of the institute or of other museums are invited to pur- chase for the institute collection or for their own homes. It is somewhat of a sales gallery, except that its space is limited and, thus its facilities for possible com- petition with commercial galleries are restricted. The exhibits shown there will be what the institute con- siders “museum pieces” of genuine merit. omd A GUARANTEED LICE KILLER ‘We guarantee one of the surprises of your life when you sprinkle Pratt’s Powdered Lice Killer on a Lousy hen.
