OPENING OF R.LAVE. Gov. Ritchie Heads Parade Inaugurating New Thoroughfare. BY GEORGE PORTER, Staft Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., December 7. ‘With music, pageantry and speeches, | the suburban area of Prince Georges County yesterday opened the long- sought extension of Rhode Island ave: nue and dedicated the new road, t ge.her with the overhead bridge, which eliminates the Hyattsville grade cross- | ing. to the convenience and safety of || all who tour by motor. Voicing the sentiment of gratitude at the completion of the projects, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, guest of honor and principal speaker of the || day, awakened new enthusiasm when he announced that he had “every ex- pectation and confidence” that the Bal- timore Boulevard would be widened to | 40 feet from Laurel to the District line ||ff| before the end of next\,Summer. Speaking in the National Guard Armory at the conclusion of the parade, which " constituted the opening feature | of the celebration, Gov. Ritchie gave a | general outline of what he termed “the most extensive road program which the State has ever undertaken,” of which | the Rhode Island avenue extension and Hyattsville Bridge, he said, were “major || attainments.” . 1 Promises to Speed Roadwork. Other features to be undertaken | shortly, the governor said, included the rcad from a point near Laurel to con- nect with Sixteenth street at the Dis- trict line, and the widening of the De- fense Highway. In regard to the latter, Gov. Ritchie || said: “I1 can assure the people that |! this work will be begun in earnest next 1 year, and as much of it will be finished | &s the available money will permit.” ‘The governor paid tribute to the co- operation of the various towns in work- ing for the improvements dedicated yesterday and mentioned specifically T. || Howard Duckett, J. Enos Ray and Irven Owings as the leaders with whom he | had contact in helping complete the || task. i The governor spoke again at a ban- | quet served by Ruth Chapter, No. 7,|! O. E.

A sim- | ilar performance occurred when the! parade reached Hyattsville, with Miss || Elsie G. Casey of Hyattsville and Miss | Esme B. Reeder of Riverdale serving as sponsors.

They were followed by Company | F, Hyattsville National Guard, escorting | Gov.

She formerly ran a small candy shop in Paris, Despite efforts of Aga Khan, who Is a famous owner of race horses, to keep such details secret it became known she was to receive about a million francs (about $40,000) before the cere- mony took place. Aga Khan objected strenuously to at- tention paid his forthcoming wedding by the French press, and complained it was just an “ordinary affair.” Despite this, ‘more than a hundred newspaper men and photographers followed the couple to this little town, which is the birthplace of the bride. Aga Khan's full name_is His High- ness Sir Sultan Mahomet Shah Aga Khan, grand cross of the Order of the Indian Empire. Aside from the Pope the prince, head of a Moslem sect, has the largest spiritual following in the world, his spiritual and temporal do- minion covering not only a considerable part of British India, but much of the adjacent country. It was his wish his wife’s wedding gown contain his racing colors, emerald and chocolate. He recently gave her a $500,000 diamond ring for a present. The civil ceremony was most simple.

TWO SHIPS CRASH IN GOTHAM HARBOR Fog Is Blamed for Collision of Europe-Bound Liner With Gulf Coast Steamer. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 7.—A heavy fog that shrouded New York Harbor, delaying all shipping, resulted in the collision of two out-bound ocean liners today—the Anchor Line Transylvania and the Southern Pacific Creole. They came together while just off the Bat- tery and were forced to return to their plers for repairs, No one was injured. The Creole, bound for New Orleans, had 69 pas- sengers aboard and the Transylvania, Europe bound, carried 309 on its pas- senger list. Both liners were proceeding slowly down_the river. Capt. David Bone of the Transylvania said the collision oc- curred when the Transylvania turned to ;vold two tugs which loomed out of the og. A hole, 3 feet in diameter, was torn in one of the Transylvania's plates just below deck and several feet of railing was twisted as the ships scraped sides. The Creole™ went into dry dock at Hoboken, where, after a careful ex- amination, it was said repairs might be completed in time for sailing at mid- night. Observers said she had a hole in the bow. The Transylvania is expected to get under way again in a few hours. “Dean” of Commons Dies. TORONTO, December 7 (#).—Wil- liam Findly MacLean, former proprietor of the Toronto World, and “dean” of the House of Commons, died today. He was 75 years old. et ] JEWELS GIVEN PRINCESS. PARIS (NANA).—Princess Marie- Jose's jewels include two very beautiful | bracelets. One, of platinum, set with {a fine sapphire, her flance gave her 12 months or so ago, and the other, a diamond and platinum trellis about. two inches wide, was one of her engage- ment presents from father and mother. Perhaps it was because he had al- | ready given her a sapphire bracelet (her favorite stone) that Prince Humbert chose the princess’ engagement ring in ruby and diamond. The Italian royal house seems to favor ruby engagement rings, though, so perhaps it was a happy coincidence. Another engagement present to the princess from the King and Queen of the Belgians was a very fine row of ” large pearls.
