bt e ——————— —— TS P ————— RITCHIE FAVORS WIDER BOULEVARD $2,000,000 Bill Recommend- ed to Provide Against Road Congestion. Special Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE, January 5—The Balti- more and Washington Boulevard will be widened to 40 feet, providing four lanes of traffic inftead of two, for the entire distance, if the Legislature passes a special loan bill of $2,000.000 which, | it is belleved, Gov. Ritchie will recom- mend. The widening has been done for a distance of 4 miles north from | Laurel, paid for out of the regular| construction funds of the State roads commission. but as the cost averages| over $60,000 a mile it is impossible to | widen more than 3 or 4 miles| a year unless the money is provided through a special @6t of the Legislature. Goy. Ritchie in his message to the Legislature this week called attention to the rapidly growing congestion on the Washington Boulevard and said the improvement would have to be made in the near future to prevent conges- tion that would not only delay com- munication between Baltimore and Washington but become more dangerous each year. Problem in Road Width. “The width of our main roads is bound to become an acute problem be- fore many years” said the governor. “Some of our roads are hardly wide enough now to care for the increased traffic. Within a relatively few years | many of the roads we have and are| building in all probability will be quite | inadequate and when it becomes neces- sary to widen them appreciably the State will be confronted with buildings and improvements close to the edges which will have to be bought or con- démned. Some plan ought soon to be THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

This would serve to put property holders on their guard against building so close to the high- ways that the improvements might ultimately have to be condemned by the State. “Perhaps some better plan than this may be devised and I am, of course, not unmindful of the objections, constitu- tional and otherwise, which may be raised to legislation of this kind. It may be a little early yet for the matter to be brought to a head, but we cannot look into the future of highway con- struction without realizing that some day serious consequences will be pre- sented both to the State and to the property holders if some appropriate measures are not taken to meet the problem of future road widening.” Bill to be Submitted. A road construction bill will be sub- mitted to the Legislature providing for a State loan for post roads of $1,500,000, of which $750,000 will be issued this Spring and $750,000 in the Spring of 1930. The proceeds of this loan will be used to match the Federal aid ex- tended by the Government in the same amount, so that $1,500,000 will be avail- able each year for the reconstruction of post roads. No loan for lateral roads will be submitted to the Legislature this year because the entire expense of the lateral road construction program is now paid from the proceeds of the 1% cents gasoline tax for lateral road pur- poses and likewise no loan for the elim- ination of railway grade crossings be- cause the State’s share of this expense is now paid from the proceeds of a half-cent gasoline tax. A special bill, however, will be sub- mitted for a state loan of $1,000,000 for the construction of bridges in the various counties of the State, which is the same amount the Legislature of 1927 provided for the same purpose. Work on the viaduct at Hyattsville, which will eliminate the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad crossing on the Wash- ington Boulevard, will be started, this Spring as well as construction of the extension of Rhode Island avenue to connect with the Washington Boule- , which will give two entrances into the District of Columbia, one by way of Bladensburg and the other by way of Rhode Island avenue.

Green Parrot, When Appearing By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 5.—Baby, a green parrot of uncertain age, but of fixed opinions, cost John Slovick $25 today when the bird appeared in Municipal Court as a witness in a case in which Mrs. Olympia Blair, a former roomer in Slovick’s flat, claimed hes landlord refused to give up her parrot when she moved. Slovick said the parrot was his. “Well,” said Judge Harry B. Ham- lin, “let's hear what the parrot has to say.” A black cloth was removed from Baby's cage. Baby cast a wicked eye at the judge, ruffied his feathers, and said nothing. “Hello, Baby,” called Mrs. Blair. “Hello, mama—hello, mama—hello, ALEXANDRIA, Va., January 5 (Spe- clal) —City Manager Paul Morton said today that city automobile tags will not be placed on sale until February 1, the order for 3,000 plates having just been placed with the State Penitentiary at Richmond following the city council’s decision Thursday to continue the auto- mobile tax. The rate will remain un- changed and is 20 cents per 100 pounds. All cities of Virginia have adopted a standard tag this year, conforming to the State plate in color and length but being only approximately two inches in height. J. Frank Carlin, local agent for State automobile tags, announced this morn- g that his office at 104-106 South ashington street so far this year has sold only 1,725 tags for passenger ma- chines, 225 for trucks, 40 for convertibles and 60 chauffeurs’ licenses.

Mrs. Blair knocked on the judge's bench with her knuckles. “Come right in—come right in— come right in,” invited Baby hospitably. “Now, Mr. Slovick, you try it,” in- vited the court. “Hello, Baby,” said Mr. Slovick, ex~ tending a finger in greeting. “Rr-rrrk,” responded Baby, miscal- culating as it made a vicious jab at the finger. “Pretty polly—I mean Baby,” coaxed Mr. Slovick. Baby turned its back and winked at Mrs. Blair. “Twenty-five dollars and costs, Mr. Slovick,” remarked the court. “Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye," sreamed Baby, ruffing its feathers at the judge as Mr. Slovick paid up.

By the Associated Press. ANGORA, Turkey, January 5.—In the Turkey of Kemal the bells of 1929 echo the annual refrain, “Ring out the old, ring in the new,” but this year there is a touch of swan song in the tune. Kemal knows and the bells know that soon there will be nothing old left to ring out of this one-time quaint and antique land which the iron fists of the Ghazi have scoured into such daz- zling newness. Next year the bells may c}ldlmc “Ring out the new, ring in the o Political Opposition Dead. Over Turkey's 1929 there hangs no imminent cloud of political dissension and there breaks no dawn of political liberty. The political opposition has been thoroughly rung out of the “lim- ited republic's” one-man party, one- party government. Kemal's only re- maining formidable foe is himself. How long his iron constitution can stand the strain of the hard living is an im- portant factor. Outside the economic fleld, varied and spectacular, it is rumored, are the coming events of 1929 in Turkey. The Ghazi has more reforms to launch. This year, for sure, he is going to serap the traditional Moslem Sabbath of Friday and order his Turks to pray and rest, if pray and rest they must, on the Occident’s Sunday. This year, too, he is going to Christianize tradi- tional Moslem ritual, SCrap prayer rugs and fill the spacious emptiness of Turkey’s mosques with pews and order | the worshipers of Allah to keep their shoes on. It is averred by many officials here in the capital that this year he is go- ing to put through legislation giving women the vote and the hat. The women are as solidly behind Kemal as the army, and it is reported that the time has come when he would like to see women not only voting but holding seats in Parliament. He has laid mag- he has shot off countless skyrockets of spectacular re- forms, but for his creation to become the rock of Gibraltar that he dreams it remains for him to do a lot of solid economic cementing. Economy Is Keynote. “Economic development will be the main concern of the government dur- ing the coming year,” promises Prime Minister Ismet Pasha. The main points in the program he outlines are an up- ward revision of the tariff which, by terms of the treaty of Lausanne, expires in August, 1929, the new tariff to be heavily protectionist, in the hope that ‘Turkish industries will miraculously come to birth; the stabilization of the currency and the creation of a state ]bank. and a cure for ne high cost of iving. Indications that the reformer is tired of waiting for the womenfolk to switch from the veil to the hat or their own accord is given by hes recent order to all Turkey's schoolmarms to turn up at school in hats or not at all. This execu- tive order presages a blanket law sup- pressing the veil as peremptorily as was suppressed the fez. Marriage is scheduled as another number in the 1929 show. Not the Ghazi's own—his intimates declare that he will never remarry—but marriage for Turkey at large. To cure the na- tion’s serious state of depopulation, Kemal wishes to see everybody but him- self married. A celibate tax is to be levied, runs the rumor, on spinsters as well as bachelors. The total number of women concerned in all of Turkey is not known, but in Constantinople some 80,000 unbetrothed maidens and 120,000 widows (widows will also be liable to the tax a year after their be- reavement) are bewailing a leap year that passed too soon. Education Is Planned. But the most spectacular event of the coming year, by all odds, will be the rounding-up of the whole population of 14,000,000 persons in the great ABC campaign. By June 1 every man, wom- an and child, including the 12,500,000 who are at present blissfully ignorant of any ABC's, new or old, must be able to produce a certificate signed by a government examiner testifying to his al acquaintanceship with all the new sym- bols from A to Z.

Revised plans for the new medical and dental school building for George- town University, bids for which will be opened January 17, will involve a total expenditure of approximately $850,000, university officials stated yesterday. This is a considerably larger amount than was at first anticipated in the original plans for the building, the site of which was changed recently from a location at Thirty-seventh and O streets to the university grounds bordering the Reservoir road. Rev. Walter G. Sum- mers, S. J., regent of the medical and dental departments, explained that the construction of the building and land- scaping of the grounds would cost ap- proximately $650,000 and an outlay of $200,000 would be required for equip- ment. Work on the foundations of the building started last Thursday and is expected to be completed in time for the construction of the building to begin by February 1. Under the contract, which is to be awarded by President W. Coleman Nevils and the board of trus- tees of the university, completion of the building will be required by September 15. This would be in time for the 1929-30 academic year. Site on Plateau. Designed in the shape of a letter H, the building will occupy a site on a broad plateau overlooking Reservoir road and set back a distance of 150 feet from the thoroughfare. Its two main wings, each planned to be 280 feet long, will parallel the road. The connecting wing will be 101 feet in length. No change has been made in the exterior design, which calls for a four-story structure of red brick and limestone trimming of the colonial type of archi- tecture. Facing Reservoir road, the building will be approached by granite steps lead- ing gradually, by means of broad ter- races, to the entrance. The general de- sign of the building has been made to conform to the natural setting, which will require extensive landscaping be- cause of its wooded acres. The front door of the main wing will open on a foyer, 50 by 35 feet, with marble walls and floor. The adminis- tration offices and the medical and den- tal library will occupy the first floor of this wing. Classrooms and private re- NEW DENTAL search laboratories will occupy the sec- ond and third floors, while the entire top floor will be devoted to the scien- tific branches of medicine, taking ad- vantage of the better light for the | laboratories. The rear wing, of the same propor- tions, but five stories high, will have an | additional story. There will be two, amphitheaters, two dental laboratories, | examination rooms and a dental in- firmary with 93 dental chairs in this| building. Additional space will be de- voted to research rooms and special | dental work for children. | Classrooms in Wing. Nearly all the classrooms will be | located in the four-story connecting | wing which will permit more ready ingress and egress for the student body and faculty. Particular attention will be paid to the equipment of the new building and especfally with regard to the laboratories. George A. Didden is the architect. Members of the medical and dental faculties have spent a long time in studying similar equipment at the larger medical schools of the country and no expense will be spared in making the Georgetown building a model in this respect. President Nevils, in selecting the Reservor road site, was planning for the future development of Georgetown's proposed medical center. It is the hope of university officials ultimately to erect a new hospital building on this site and use the present building, at Thirty-sixth and O streets, for other ! purposes of the university. With the exception of the college, all departments of the university resumed classes last week after the annual mid- winter holidays. Examinations will be- gin shortly and occupy the chief atten- tion of the student body until the open- ing of the second semester. The Christmas holidays end for college students tomorrow. Prof. Willlam A. Reid, of the School of Foreign Service, will be the repre- sentative of the Pan-American Union at the International Rotary Congress to be held in Miami, Fla., during the week of January 21-25.
