North Carolina Governor Tells Of- | ficers to Watch Markers. RALEIGH, N. C., December 15.— Gov. A, W. McLean today issued a proclamation, c.ll.llng upon _officers of the counties along the North Carolina- South Carolina boundary line to arrest any person interfering’ with markers on’ the line and offering $500 reward for the arrest and conviction of any one on this charge. The proclamation was the result, the governor said, of a report that one of the markers on the recently surveyed line had been dug up and reset. HESSE PLANS NEW POLICING SYSTEM Would Get Officers From Other Cities for Service During Inauguration. Preparations for policing the city If you need work, read the want col- umns of The Sta: during the approaching inaugural period will be started by Maj. Edwin B. ’Hese, chief of police, and his several assistants as soon as the inaugural committee definitely determines what is to be done and gives officials an idea as to the approximate number of visi- tors expected. No matter what conclu- slon the committee reaches, it is stated, Congress unquestionably will be asked to appropriate money to afford the city extra protection. It is considered ammost certain that methods employed during many past inaugural ceremonies will not be fol- lowed at the approaching ceremonial. Heretofore it was the custom to appoint several hundred special policemen for duty both in the business section and outlying districts, such persons per- forming duty in civiiian attire. Maj Hesse does not believe such men meant a great deal in the matter of protecting | the city, it is stated. and money will not for such service during the period when Herbert Hoover is in- augurated. Officials of the department are said to frown upon any move that is in- tended to “plaster” persons in civilian attire with shields of the department. Heretofore members of the commit- tees on public order serving at inau- gurals have been commissioned special | policemen, and the sight of such per- sons, so equipped, along the line of (march is said to have provoked unfa- | vorable criticism on the part of visitors. | committee serving during the coming inaugural period will be given ribbons or other designations to show they are members of the committee.

STAUNTON, Va., December 15.—Miss Virgina Miller, 65 years old, died at her home in Bridgewater, Thursday at 4 pm.. following an illness of three months. She was a daughter of the late John C. Miller. In late years she spent part of her time in Roanok |FRANCE GIVE MEDALS TO 2 DISTRICT WOMEN | “Conspicuous Contributions to Ad-| vancement of Nursing Profession” Win Government Awards. Two Washington women, Maj. Julia ‘ C. Stimssn, superintendent of the Army | Nurse Corps, and Miss Clara D. Noy | national director of nursing service, American Red Cross, have been awarded the Medaille d'Hygiene Publique medal by the French government for ‘“con- | spicuous contributions to the advance- ment of the nursing profession.” it was | announced y! day through the New York office of the American Hospital in Paris. Two other recipients of this honor were Annie W. Goodrich, of the School of Nursing at Yale Uni- versity, and Anna Caroline Maxwell. Due -fo the illness of Miss Maxwell ceremonfes which yesterday were to have marked the presentation of the ' awards at New York City were called | off. The medals and citations were brought to America by special mes- senger from the French government at Paris, but the formal exercises were delayed pending the recovery of Miss Maxwell. In the first eight months of 1928 air- nlanes and parts exported from the United States totaled more than $2,606.- 000 as compared with $1,010,000 during the same period of 1927, County Chamber of Commeyce, sched- uled to come to a close tonight, as the concluding feature of “civic week,” ~gponsored by the chamber to stiyulate a greater interest among the citisens and business interests in activities of the organization and problems con-, fronting the county, will.be continued through Tuesday, it was announced at a dinner gecting here tonight, when budget teams reported a total of $10,295 in_subscriptions. While $15,000 had been set as the chamber’s budget goal for the week, Daniel E. Weigle, community organizer of Philadelphia, engaged to conduct the drive, and Clarence R. Ahalt, president of the local trade body, expressed them- selves as gratified at the showing made ! to date, and confident that a little more | effort the next three days will put the project well over the top. “One of the most pleasing things #mbout the whole drive,” Mr. Ahalt de- clared, “is that the budget is not only assured but the chamber gains much ~in the way of new members. About 50 per cent of the amount raised comes in the form of membership dues, and this is a good indication that the ~people are alive to the need of a strong chamber of commerce in the county.” Hope of leaders of the drive that the “budget will be reached if not exceeded is based on the fact that only about 125 per cent of those on the prospect list were visited by the team workers, Twenty-five out of 150 Washington merchants on the list, it was reported, -responded generously to the appeal and the others will be visited before the drive closes. All of the Washington merchants listed for a subscription are sald to be ~vitally interested in the development of Arlington County, due to the proximity of the county and the city and the _benefit they receive through patronage of Arlington County citizens. Four of the 20 teams w ng in the drive were still out tonight, and their reports, which probably wiil be made “Monday, are expected to add much to the total. Announcement was made that the fchamber would sponsor & progr: Christmas eve in celebration of the re- -opening of Lee Highway, which has sbeen partially closed for several weeks for widening and reconstruction from Rosslyn to Cherrydale.
