Just before adjournment, however, it was mgain broached when Delegate Frank G. Campbell of Arlington County offered 8 resolution declaring the development of Washington on a scale as befits the Nationa) Capital is beyond the financial capacity of local residents. Delegate James G. Yaden of the District pointed out that the citizens of Washington were not “tax dodgers” and were willing to pay a fair share, while W. B. Arm- strong. secretary of the conference, was of the opinion there were so many ramifications of the principle of the Tesolution that its wording should be left o a subcommittee. It was finally agreed to have a carefully drafted resolution on the subject presented at the April meeting.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., March 18.—Having hesi- tated to make public their intentions until the announcement of the resig- nation of the present judge, two Ar-| lington County_attorneys today made it known that they are being indorsed for the judgeship of the sixteenth judi- cial cireuit to succeed Judge Howard W. Smith. These two attorneys are Judge Harry R. Thomas and Charles T. Jesse, both prominent members of the local bar, the former being at this time judge of the Arlington County Police Court. Judge Thomas stated today that he was not yet prepared to make a state- ment other than to announce that he is & candidate for the office and that Gov. John Garland Pollard has been so notified. He has received the indorse- ment of a number of local attorneys and of a large number of citizens, he to Gov. Pollard. Head of Bar Body. Jesse is president of the Arlington County Bar Association and Judge Thomas is vice president of the bar association of the sixteenth judicial circuit, both being well known through- out the entire circuit. Jesse's indorsers also have telegraphed the governor. The present office of Judge Thomas will automatically expire when the new county court act is put into effect, since the law authorizing a county court re- quires that the judge be elected by popular vote, and Judge Thomas be- lieves that an improper procedure in the election of a judge. An already complicated political situ- ation becomes even anore involved today with the decision of Judge Thomas and Jesse to seek the circuit judgeship. Judge Smith is resigning from the bench to run for Congress from the eighth congressional district, and two Arlington County attorneys, State Sen- ator Frank L. Ball and Capt. Crandal Mackey, are opposing him. In addition to this will be the race for judge of the county court, which will take place at the next general election. Judge Smith's resignation comes too late for the election of his successor by the Virginia General Assembly, that body having adjourned its regular ses- sion on March 8. It will, therefore, fall to the lot of the governor to make & recess appointment, the appointee to serve until the next General Assembly, which will meet two years from now. While the judgeship appointments of the governor are temporary in nature, it was pointed out today that it is seldom that the General Assembly fails to elect the governor's appointee after he has served for any length of time. Other Candidates Expected. 1t 1s held unlikely that Judge Thomas and Jesse will be the only candidates for the judgeship, for there are other coun- ties in the circuit that are expected to Rgoduce applicants for the position. Judge Thomas is a native of Arling- ton County and has been judge of the Police, Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts for the past seven years. Jesse is a native of Caroline County and has been a resident of Arlington County since 1909, He has served four terms in County, —_— ALEXANDRIA. ALEXANDRIA, Va., March 18 (Spe- | cial).—A force of 12 city employes hac | started the work of repairing the holes in Braddock road and Mount Vernon averue in order that those streets may be in condition to carry the heavy traffic which will be diverted to them when the State again closes the River road to complete the work of widening and resurfacing the Arlington County portion. The lower road was closed for a time last Fall, but reopened at the insistence of R. L. May, local bus oper- ator, in_conjunction with certain Ar- lington County officials. When this force completes Mount Vernon avenue as far as the city limits it will work back over Russell road, which is also in bad shape in a number of places. Following the Russell road work the force will repair streets in other sections of the city. No work will be done on the city's portion of the River road at this time. City Manager Wallace Lawrence stated yesterday that it would be impossible to work on this road ‘until the heavy traffic was diverted by the closing of the county portion. The State is ex- pected to resume its work on the River road within a few days.

Spend a few pennies today for the greatest shaving improvement in twenty-eight years HE old Gillette was a good ser- vant. The New Gillette Blade and Razor (patents pending) is a better one —very much better. You never need waste your time wip- ing this razor dry. And there’s never any “razor pull” to deprive you of shaving comfort. These are only two of many improvements that have been made. - In tackling the problem of “razor pull,” thousands of men were inter- viewed. Tens of thousands of razors were examined. ' The evidence all pointed one way. Most razors had been dropped and the corners dented. The THE NEW GILLETTE RAZOR, 24K. gold-plated, in beausiful case, complete with New Gillette Blade . .: dent threw the blade out of alignment. And this caused “razor pull.” The smallest dent could do great harm, for your Gillette is a finely precisioned instrument. Now the trouble is solved. In the New Gillette Razor the four corners have been reinforced to withstand the hardest knocks. The four corners of the new blade are cut out. The blade is not held at its corners at all when cap and guard are screwed together. There’s, no chance of its being thrown out of alignment even if the razor is dropped. When you're through shaving with this new razor, there’s no wiping neces- $1.20 Price Octher De Luxe Models at $5 to $75 sary. Youdon’tneedto take it apart. Because o this new blade is] spe- / cially processed to re- X sist rust, you merely hold razor under hot running water, shake thoroughly...and lay on the shelf. The old posts are gone, too. They stuck through the blade and so often accidentally caught and dulled the blade edges. Please note, too, how the A guard teeth are rounded back farther, * to meet the skin more smoothly, more comfortably. Another great convenience — the ends of the new blade are square, for safer handling with wet fingers. The square ends fit flush with cap and guard and permit closer shaving around the'tight little corners.of mouth, nose and ears. * Changed and improved as this New Gillette Blade is, it has been designed so it will fit your old razor until you are able to get your New Gillette. The new razor, 24K. gold plated, and in a beautiful case with New Gillette Blade, is only one dollar. The New Gillette Blade in the new green package costs one dollar for ten, or fifty cents for five. 3 Here’s your chance to know how smooth a shave can be—to own a razor shat will deliver the same superb shaves year after year in spite of hard knocks and abuse.
