BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Staff Correspondent of The Star. SILVER SPRING, Md, June 14— Roadside stands for the sale of fire- { works prior to the Fourth of July will be distributed along the Baltimore boulevard between the District of Co- | lumbia line and College Park, as has been the practice for some years since the sale of fireworks was prohibited in the District of Columbia. The Mary- land-National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission at its meeting last m.gt approved the issuance of permits for the construction of 13 of the stands, according to Irving C. Root, chief engi- neer of the Maryland body. Zoning Amendments. Mr. Root also presented to the com- mission last night a series of proposed amendments to the zon! regulations of the metropalitan distfict of both Montgomery and Prince Georges Coun- ties. Coples of fhe amendments were given to each member of the commis- sion, but no action was taken at that meeting, as it was indicated that they desired to study the list which was drawn up by Mr. Root and J. Bond Smith, general counsel of the commis- slon. It is probable that the matter will be taken up at the meeting next ‘Wednesday night. The new regulations are designed to tighten up the zoning restrictions in the metropolitan district, and particularly to guard against any lengthy litigation should some real estate owner seek to overcome the desires of the commission. ‘The present regulations follow some- what those in the District of Columbia, but Mr. Root has made a study not only of zonimg regulations in other of the country, but also of court lons on zoning. Particular attention, it was said, was given to the court rulings, with a view to putting into the metro- politan district regulations those things which the courts have generally ap- proved. In the case of attack, the court rulings can be cited as authority for the posed new in the land regulations. Consulted Federal Experts. In the preparation of the amend- ments, Mr. Root also consulted the zoning experts of the Department of GR Home NITARY WASHINGTON, D..C Barn at Culpeper Burns in Series of Strange Fatalities Special Dispatch to The Star. Cl swept over this section the large barn cn the farm of County Superin- tendent of Roads W. P. Rudasil, about 3 miles from Culpeper, was struck by lightning and consumed, in spite of the efforts of the Cul- peper Volunteer Fire Company, which rushed to the scene on get- ting the alarm. The barn was & large one and the flames were plain- ly seen for Culpeper. It would seem that this farm pos- sesses a fatality of some kind. About two years ago a carpenter, C. E. Hutcherson of Culpeper, who was working on_the barn, fell through some scaffolding, recel such in- juries that he died a few days latter. And 18 months ago one of the tenant houses, occupled by Mr. and Mrs. Peacher and children and the for- mer’s son by a previous marriage, Gid Rixey, caught fire one bitter cold night and young Rixey and two of his little half-sisters, whom he had rushed into the house to save, were burned to death, and the moth- er was 80 injured that she died in the Charlottsville Hospital within a few days. Commerce, with a view to making the new set proposed for Maryland a model zoning code. It is believed politan district of Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties will have a code which will guarantee its orderly growth for years to come, as a part of the greater National Capital. In the consideration of the road- side stand problem, the commission, it was said, did not turn down any applications for the erection of the temporary stands for the sale of fire- works. It also was said that no ap- plications were received for the-erec- ;fln of any such stands on the roads was indicai gl e B e efit o Fire Department. < —_— le of Manchuria are taking to Amq phonographs. —_— Office { PIGGLY WIGGLY | Cantaloupes Cantaloupes Cantaloupes IN our opinion nothing is ripe cantaloupe when quite so delicious as a tasty, it is properly chilled . . . whether it be served as a breakfast fruit or as a dinner salad or dessert. l THE fine cantaloupes that we are offering are from the Imperial Valley of California where the finest flavored melons are grown. with these fine cantaloupes reasonable. ¥ note the prices of our Our stores are well supplied ... and the prices are most VISIT our nearest store, examine the quality and cantaloupes.
