B ™ MOVE T0 PRESERVE | HISTORIC PLACES Action Deemed Necessary in Development of Subur- ban Parkways. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staft Correspondent of The Stai SBILVER SPRING, Md., April 20.—! With the increased demand for land in | the metropolian district of Maryland and the need for prompt steps to be taken by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission to acquire those sites necessary for preservation as a part of the permant park system, some studies have been made of historic points which should be given first at-| tention. Among the most important of | these at the present time, according to persons in close touch with the situa- tion, is Fort Meigs, on the Mariboro road just across the District line. Occupies Commanding View. ‘This historic outpost is the last of the line of Civil War defenses of Washing- ton, occupying a commanding view of the Capital City to the westward. It is said to be the largest of the posts, and is situated in close proximity to two other posts, occupying the high land | across the Anacostia River. The others | are Fort Dayis, at the end of Pennsyl- vania avenue, and Fort Dupont, also on | the Mariboro road, oniy a short dlstfince from Fort Meigs. These two have been purchased by the Federal Government. Fort Davis has been improved, so that people may g: in and see the old breast- ‘works, and Fort Dupont now is serving as a nursery for the raising of trees for the District of Columbia strests. Fort Meigs now is privately ownad, and is about three acres in area, it wi said. It has not yet been subdivided: in fact, officials of the planning com- miseion have succeeded in holding this feature off in the hope that it would be purchased as a part of the Civil War fort system, and might be included in the proposed fort drive which it is pro- posed to build around the District con- necting up these old outposis. The old bombprcofs and breastworks are said to be still in place, and unless | something is done promptly it may be subdivided and the historic works may be leveled off and forever losf & posterity. In addition to this histor,s | feature, it was pointed out that its! preservation would provide a place| from which visitors could obtain an| excellent bird’s-eye view of the Dis- | trict of Columbia. Land Belicved Cheap. Investigation of the value of the land, it was said, has incicated that | it might be gurchmd at a compara- tively small figure and improved into a parkwa®. It is considered to be far more important for preservation than the estabiishment of certain other recre- ational features at this time, if it is to be preserved at all. There has been available for two years a State appropriaiion of sao‘mi for expenditure in Prince Georges Coun- ty. where the fort - iocated, for pur- chase of park lands. It was pointed out that a uss of a small part of this fund for the acquisition of this site would be a wise expenditure. This purchase could be made without any ldd.lilon.ll tax on the residents of the county, and it would give them one of the finest parks in the area and one that would increase in value in future years. ‘The National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission for some years has Jeen going ahead and wqumnl as many | of these sites as possible in the Dis- :rm of Columbia, and there are several lrllnh which are Mu examined.

A ril 290 (). — Physicians last night cxpreued hope that Mrs. Owen Conrad, 27, a divorcee, in a local hospital with a bullet wound in_her abdomen, would recover. Mrs. Conrad shot herself, police were told, after Miss Margaret Maley, 25, had tried unsuccessfully to wrest a re- volver from her. Miss Maley was shot in the leg. The shooting climaxed a party attended by several socially prom- inent persons here Friday night.

April 29.—With the Arlington County Chamber of Com- merce $5,000 zoning fund ready to be turned over to the county supervisors at their regular meeting tomorrow, there remain but a few detalls to be cared for before the actual zoning of the county is started, the supervisors and Chamber of Commerce having al- ready indorsed Allen J. Saville of Rich- mond for the poeition of zoning engi- neer. ‘The situation as it stands today is more favorable than at any time since the zoning commission was authorized two years ago by the State Legislature, the credit for which, in the minds of those interested, is due to a large ex- tent to the Chamber of Commerce. It is through it that the employ- ment of a zoning enginder has been made possible, it having shouldered a_ half of the financial responsibility when the supervisors announced that the county treasury was not in a posi- tion to provide the entire amount for the employment of the engineer and other expenses of the zoning commis- | sion. Meeting Tonight. It appeared today that this was to be an unofficial “zoning week” in the county. Tonight the Zoning Commis- sion and Virginia Park and Planning | Commission will meet jointly to hear | Maj. Carey Brown of the National Cap- ital Park and Planning Commission explain in detail the route of the new | Mount Vernon Boulevard, especially with respect to the setback from the road that will be desired by the Federal commission. ‘While the matter of a setback is en- they have expressed a desire to co-oper- ate in every way with the Federal com- mission, but have not as yet learned just what the latter body has in mind. ‘Tomorrow’s quarterly membership meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, which will be held in the form of a din- ner at the Washington-Lee High School, will be devoted entirely to an address upon Arlington County's zoning prob- lems by Saville. The tickets have been made availeble to every one who is in- terested in zoning and the advance sale indicates a record attendance. It is ex- pected that by the time of the dinner, which will start at 7 o'clock tomorrow night, Saviile will have been officially designated by the supervisors as the county zoning engineer. Public Subscription Plan. ‘The next meeting at which zoning will be the paramount issue will be the regular fortnightly meeting of the | board of directors of the Chamber of | Commerce, which will take place Thurs- | day. The chamber hes actually raised but $3,000 of the amount required, cer- tain members having pledged them- selves for the remaining amount. It is expected that plans for the immediate raising, by public subscription, of the | baiance will be formulated. It was believed today that the Zoning Commission may find it advisable to | hold extra meetings after the appoint- | ment of Saville is made of . ‘Thelr | regular meetings now tuke place at 5| o'clock on Mondays, but their work is increased considerably with the ap- pointment of a zoning engineer and it | may be impossible for them to come plete it in one evening each weck. | HEAD ACHE?, DOZEN different things may cause a headache, but there’s just one thing you need ever do to get relief.

RICHMOND, Va., April 20.—Death of a man, his flancee and their hostess, caused by the drinking of gin cocktails 2t a party in Baltimore, was the occa- sion for a legal argument before the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond. The case before the court is that of the Zurick General Accident and Lia- bility Insurance Co., Ltd, appellant, against Mrs. 8. A. Flickinger, mother of Samuel Peyten Flickinger, deceased, formerly of Norfolk, who died, the rec- ord of the case shows, from effects of the cocktails served at the party in Bal- timore. The insutance company is petitioning for reversal of the lower court's judg- ment. which awarded Mrs. Flickinger $6,500 on a policy carried by her son. The insurance company, in appealing the case, contends that the lower court erred in instructing the jury that “the drinking of intoxicating liquor in a home where one is a bona fide guest of the owner by his invitation, which said liquor he knew was not lawfully pos- sessrd is not a violation of any Federal law.” Counsel for the company in argumem contended that the death of TFlickinger was not accidental, but was the result of a voluntary act in drinking cocktails containing liquor made at home which fthe deceased knew “it was not legal to own.” SILVER SPRING WOMEN PRESENT BENEFIT PLAY Music Section nl Improvement Club Gives “Three Pegs” Before Crowded House.

The revised plans recommended by the Planning Commission reduced sev- eral rather sharp grades and eliminated two abrupt dips in the road profile at either end of the proposed bridge over | wood. The planning body considered the revised plans desirable because ot{ future requirements and was much vised plans would be used. It is generally conceded that the | opening of Rhode Island avenue from the District line to Hyattsville will prove a distinct boon from the local traffic standpoint and result in a marked in- crease in land values along the high- way_of right of way. The communities of “Brentwood, North Brentwood and Hyattsville will be particularly benefited by the construction of this important arterial highway. Unquestionably a large portion of the traffic both ways | between Washington and Baltimore will take Rhode Island avenue in prefer- ence to the longer, more congested and. occasicnally, inundated route through Bladensburg, Colmar Manor and Cot- tege City.
