BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY, Swft Corcespondent of The Star. SLIGO, Md.,, December 17.—Stormy protests ~eainst the holding of boxing bouts in the National Guard Armory, which "1ad been expected at the public hearing in the county building here last night, failed to materialize, when Capt. Joseph C. Cissel, commanding the Service Company of the Maryland Na- tional Guard, suddenly withdrew the application and was immediately given a vote of thanks by those who had ex- pected to talk against the matter. The hearing was conducted by Lacy Shaw, commissioner in charge of the north- ern metropolitan district of Montgom- ery County, and was on an application of the militiamen to hold boxing bouts in the armory for the purpose of in- creasing the company funds. Citizens Against Bouts. Commissioner Shaw announced at the beginning of the meeting that he had received protests against the granting of the application. Examination of them showed that the executive com- mittee of the Blair Citizens’ Associa- tion had voted 8 to 1 against the bouts, according to a letter from E. M. San- ford. Mary W. Alden, corresponding secretary of the Rector’s Aid of Silver Spring Mission, on behalf of the mis- sion, protested against such means of raising money. The protest of the Silver Spring Baptist Church was signed y Mrs. Lester E. Veirs, clerk. There was a petition signed with the names of 31 persons claiming to be residents of Silver Spring. The Woman’s Im- provement Club of Silver Spring held a special meeting on the matter, and it was reported to Mr. Shaw in a formal communication, had unanimously voted against the bouts. “The women,” said the letter, in part, “feel that the exhibitions would bring into our community undesirable people and lower the plane of the com- munity as a residential suburb. We advocate, as_citizens, a high standard of living and must be an example for other communities.” The letter further said that it was the belief that this action expressed the general sentiment of the community. Bouts Would Be Legal. Capt. Cissel pointed out that it was perfectly legal for the Guard company to hold boxing bouts in the armory, both without the permission of the State Boxing Commission and the county commissioners, but neither he nor the men of his company wanted to do any- thing which was opposed by the citizens ghters, Dorothy, 17, and Vir- ; three brothers, John F., Cecil H. and Clifford; a sister, Mrs. Leta Clark, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.

Bethune, mayor of Falls Church, yesterday presented to the State Highway Commission at its Charlottesville hearing the claims of Falls Church and this section of Arling- ton County for the improvement and widening of the Lee Highway from Halls Eill through Falls Church as far as the concrete road at Broad street. Capt. Bethune likened Arlington County to_the front doorstep of Vir- ginia and Fairfax County to the vesti- bule. These two counties form the threshold through which all the con- gestion of traffic from the North and from the Nation's Capital must pass. Capt. Bethune pointed out to the com- mission'that, although the tentative al- locations announced for expenditure next year in Culpeper district con- tained no provision for completing this main artery of travel, he trusted that the commission could find some means of building this link in the chain in view of the fact that the $40,000 voted for this purpose last year was diverted instead to the Glebe road. After the commission had taken care of the improvement of Glebe road, the funds originally appropriated to carry the widening of the Lee Highway through to Falls Church were sufficient only to reach Halls Hill, where the road now suddenly narrows at the brow of a hill, in a congested neighborhood. At the other end of the gap, eastbound traffic passing through Falls Church is suddenly thrown from the concrete yoad at Broad street onto a macadam road, hard surfaced by the town several years ago, which is ranidly deteriorating. due to the heavy traffic it is now called on to bear.

She was stricken in the store of John W. Jack- son, where she was employed, and was ordered removed to her home by Dr. Henry M. Hodgson, where she expired soon after arrival.

Formerly, he said, this was done with the money obtained from use of the bowling alleys, but it was no longer possible because of the establishment of other alleys in the community. Several bouts, he said, had besn given for the purpose ot ascertaniing whether they would pro- duce revenue, and it was found that they would, and then the sentiment ot the community was sought to determine whether they-should be continued. Capt. Cissel said that he had written letters to various organizations in the community in an attempt to feel out the sentiment, but, he added, none of the organizations had not even granted the courtesy of replying, so that a public hearing was determined upon by filing a formal application with the county commissioners, in which the statement was made that if there was any opposi- tion it would be withdrawn. If the organizations had made known their opposition in answer to a letter, he said, that the application would never had been filed. He said neither he nor the members of his company desired to embarrass the commission in making a decision and in the face of opposition he with- drew the application.

Spectal Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va., December 17.—Fair- fax County is this year for the first time presented with a list of Christmas opportunities. Mrs. Leon Manghum, superintendent of public welfare, who ice, is appealing to the people of North- ern Virginia to contribute to the chil- dren who without such help will suffer not only at this Christmas season, but later throughout the year. No funds have as yet been appropriat- ed by the county board of supervisors to assist Mrs. Manghum in meeting press- ing emergencies as they arise. Very often a small sum of money wisely ex- pended will correct a situation which if neglected becomes intolerable. Mrs. Manghum has been forced to depend on contributions for what money she has needed since her appointment. She is appealing at this Christmas season to those more generously endowed and has prepared a list of opportunities, selected from among the many cases she has been called on to deal with during her first two months. The Opportunities. Opportunity No. 1. In one of the mostisolated sections of Lee district, on a road which, during bad weather is accessible only on foot, lives a 29- year-old mother with two little girls, one 3, the other 5. The father is serv- ing a 10-year sentence in the State penitentiary. The house is old and sparsely furnished, but clean and tidy; there is not a toy in the house, not even a doll. The necessities of cloth- ing are there, but no more. At present the mother receives $15 per month {rom the county and $8 from her father. Unless at least $5 per week extra is secured it will be necessary to put the children in a home in order that the mother may go to work outside. She is making every effort to keep her lit- tle family together. Mrs. Manghum asks for this family $20 per month and toys, clothing and food. Opportunity No. 2. A woman in Providence district, who has been de- serted by her husband and left with a 4-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy, now earns $11 a week by working in a Washington laundry. Out of this she pays for food, clothes, and rent to the elderly woman with whom they make their home and who cares for the chil- dren during the day. Clothing for her- self and the children, Christmas toys for the youngsters and occasional bas- kets of food would be welcome. Eight Orphans, Opportunity No. 3. A family in Falls Church district, eight children left fa- therless and motherless last year when both parents died of tuberculosis. The oidest, a girl of 19, herself married and with two young children, has tried to keep the family together on her hus- band's salary as a truck driver. The husband’s salary is sufficient to care for his own family, but not for all the brothers and sisters. Local help has been given, but it is spasmodic, often unwise. Mrs. Manghum has arranged that one boy, 14 years old, be sent South to an uncle and she is endeavor- ing to get the oldest boy, who is in- clined to be unruly, into the service. A second uncle has agreed to take the 14- month-old baby. Efforts are being made to have the 9-year-old boy, 8- year-old girl, and two boys, 4 and 3, placed in church homes. At least $25 per month is needed to pay their board in these homes and their transporta- tion expenses. Toys for the Christmas season, clothes and general relief under Mrs. Maughum's supervision will also be welcome. Opportunity No. 4. A family of eight children, living in Providence district. ‘The mother is a worthy, hard-working woman, the father shiftless and lazy. No money is asked, as the father is able to work, but toys for the children and Christmas cheer and goodies as well as clothing will be much appreciated. The five girls are 11, 10, 6, 2 and 2 months; the boys are 13, 8 and 4 years old. Toys Needed Here. Opportunity No. 5. In Mount Vernon district Christmas toys are needed for four children ranging in age from 8 to 3 years old and in addition at least $5 a week apiece with which to place them in boarding homes with the idea of placing them in foster homes as soon as the latter can be obtained. The case is a pitiable one in so far as the children are concerned, and the family has re- ceived much local assistance, which the mother is apparently unable to use wisely. By order of Judge Howard Smith on November 23 the children were removed from the custody of their par- ents, who were deemed not proper per- sons to take care of them until the father provides a suitable home. They are now under the supervision of Mrs. Manghum, who will place them as soon as the necessary funds are contributed. The youngest child, a baby, who was saved from absolute starvation, has already been placed in a private home and the oldest boy has been taken by the grandmother. Opportunity No. 6. In Falls Church district a father and mother and six children are living in a small two-room building, clean but very sparingly fur- nished, with no provision save for actual necessities. The children range in age from 8 years to 4 months. father was an Army photographer dur- ing the World War, and later received two bad spills in aviation, which shat- tered his nerves and makes steady em- ployment impossible. He receives a small persion, which he is endeavoring to eke out by work with his little farm. Twenty-five of the sixty dollars he re- ceives each month goes as payment on his place. Toys and clothing for the children, groceries, feed for his flock of chickens would be of great assistance. Widow and Two Children. Opportunity No. 7. A widow and two children, the oldest a girl of 15, the boy several years younger; the father died this Summer after a long illness. ‘The sole support of the family is what the mother earns by doing washing and the contributions of neighbors, who help her pay her rent. She is endeavoring to keep her children in school as long as possible. Food, clothing and Christ- mas cheer would be most acceptable. Contributions of money should be mailed to Mrs. Leon Manghum, Box 15. East Falls Church. Toys, food and Going Out of Business At 1209 Pa. Ave. (LEASE EXPIRES) High-Grade Men’s Clothing and Furnishings the delinquent magistrate is reduced. It is then, Baughman said, that the mag- istrate hastens to pay the money due.

The contour of the ground is said to be al- most perfect for such a course, with many natural hazards. The plans also include the construction of tennis courts, should the demand arise, it is stated. ‘The early erection of a club house is also contemplated, according to the pro- moters. The plans, just completed, call for a large, rambling, one-story rustic building to consist of a lounge, a dining room 40 by 60 feet, with two large fire- places and porches on three sides of the structure.

Williar, chief engineer of the State Roads Commission, an- nounced today that he had ordered a survey made at Johnson avenue and the terminus of the new extension of Rhode Island avenue here to determine what might be done to widen the new thoroughfare at this point. It is realized by the commission, said Maj. Williar, that the road is too nar- row here and that something must be done to improve conditions. There is little clearance at this point between the road and the store building of A. Eugene Burgess. The railway tracks at this corner already have been moved as_far to the east as possible. It is expected that something will be done to widen the road by early Spring. Crossing to be Built. Another improvement in the new road which is expected to be made “in a short time is the construction (. n crossing across Eldridge avenue a short distance north of Mount Rainier, from the west to the east side of Rhode Island avenue. At this point Rhode Island avenue on the east begins a curve which takes it into Cottage City. Construction of the Eldridge avenue crossing is provided for in the contract nue. It has been delayed pending rais- ing of .the grade and putting in of new trackage at this point by the electric railway company. However, as soon as this work is completed it is expected that construction of the crossing will be undertaken promptly. ‘Would End Confusion. Since the new extension of Rhode Is- land avenue was opened there has been much confusion as to ci gs in the vicinity of Mount Rainier. Construc- tion of the crossing at Eldridge avenue is expected to relieve conditions to a marked extent. With the completion of the crossing it is planned to have one-way traffic on either side of Rhode Island avenue, from the District line to Eldridge ave- nue for northbound traffic and from Bunker Hill road to the District line | for southbound traffic.

They came upon the scene of the accident a few minutes after it oc- curred and, with Brockwell, lifted the heavy car enough so that Beach’s head, which was caught between the body and a bank of lose dirt, could be freed. ‘The injured man was removed from the car through the broken front wind- shield and rushed to the hospital in a police car, where he was treated by Dr, .
