Arlington County, Va., will find itself without an adequate supply of water are increased, Maj. Joseph D. Arthur, Jr., district engineer for the War De- partment for the Washington area, who has charge of the Distri wat r .-upul{. said today. Arlingten County gets its water through conduits cut in to the District’s supply and transported Chain Bridge. One 4-inch main, to replace the résent two 8-inch mains under Chain ridge, is necded without delay, but as Al‘llll([wn County lacks the money to pay for this improvement at thie time, it faces a wwlexlnl problem. Repti sentative R. Walton Moore, Demoert of Virginia, and other authorities been in conference with Maj. Arthur the question, but Arlington County is unable to borrow money for its water department until the next Virginia General Assembly meets in January, 1932, in the opinion of its legal experts. Engineer's Report. A report just submitted to Maj. Ar- thur by E. D. Hardy, senlor engineer at the Washington Aqueduct, shows that it would cost about $40,000 to install a new water main_connected with but not attached to Chain Bridge so that Arlington County might get its desired | increased supply of water. This work | would be done by the United Stat | Engineer Office, but paid for by Arling- ton County. Maj. Arthur explained today that it is proposed to place the new 24-inch main under the Potomac River bed, ex- cept over the channel span st Chain Bridge, where it would be carried on a separate truss, especially cotstructed for that purpose. The cost of constructing the new main would be much less, Maj. Arthur asserted, if it could be attached to Chain Bridge all the way, but the safety engineers have forbidden this, due to the age of the strueture. Chain Bridge is likely to be replaced by a new structure in the near future and Maj. Arthur has asked the Dis- trict's Bridge Dernunem to provide in the new bridge for two 24-inch mains, adequate to meet the prospective needs of Atlington County water users for many years in the future. One 34-inch Main Now in Use. At pi nt, Mr. Hardy asserted, & 24- inch main transports the water from the Washington water system to Chaln Bridge, where two 8-inch mains carry it across the Potomac River, to go into the 24-inch main on the Virginia side of the waterway. Just now, he sald, Arlington County is using some 500,000 gallons of water daily, although during the drought of last Summer it was around 1,000,000 gallons. As the Arlington County water mains are being continually extended, the number of water consumers is being increased, cutting down the available maximum supply, which was reached last Summer during the drought. Plans are being made to supply Falls Church, which is in Fairfax County, from the Arlington County supply. ROBERT L.

'They placed under arrest William Brady, colored, who gave his address as 621 Fairmont street, the driver of the car, and charged him with reckless driving, fllegal possession of liquor and having no operator’s permit. Car Stopped In Park. ‘The three gallons, contained in six one-half gallon jars, was taken from an automobile operated by Willle Archer of Alexandria, Va., after the automobile had been stopped by Park Policeman Oren Spears, when it came near col- liding with another automobile in Poto- mac Park. Archer was taken to No. 4 precinct and charged with transporting liquor, while his companion, Walter Davis, also of Alexandria, was charged with illegal possession. Archer subsequently was charged with operating with _fauity et e st [TWOAUTOSSEIZED | brakes, when a t2st by Traffic Bureau officials showed them “very faulty,” ac- cording to the report.

Day, assigned to Inspector Bean's squad, was on his way to report for duty when a heavy touring car with drawn curtains swept past him at Fif- teenth and H streets northeast. It was cccupled by two colored men. The machine sagged in the rear as though heavily loaded and Day gave chase. The colored driver accelerated his speed and began to duck in and out of alleys in an attempt to throw off the policeman, meantime - bringing the smoke screen into play. Day gave up the chase to avoid wrecking his' car after hanging on his quarry’s heels for nearly a mile. 65 COLLEGES TO BUILD Woods Polls 250 Major Institu- tions for Employment Data.

By the Associated Press. High hopes greet 19311 ‘The wish for prosperity takes prece- dent among leaders of American thought and activity, and the aspirations of specialists dovetail into the program. The question: What is your greatest hope for 19312 The Answers: Newton D. Baker, former Secretary of War—-That we Americans may be able to find some way to adjust our- selves to the industrial civilization of which we are a part, which would pre- vent the tragedy of recurring depres- sions. Capt, Frank Hawks, speed fiyer—I'd ke to see all air transport and mail schedules speeded up to at least 150 miles an hour cruising speed. Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors— That the motion picture screen in 1931, through its mission of entertainment ang education to the millions, may speed renewed confidence in the great future of our country and the prosperity which must reward genuine achievement. Gene Tunney, retired heavywelght boxing champion—That solutions will be found for the economic and political problems confronting the world from the shores of the Adriatic through the Balkans to Germany, France and Eng- land, and that the Supreme Court will act wisely on the decision of Federal Judge Clark in New Jersey. Immediate removal of the eighteenth amendment, I belleve, would bring about an imme- diate revival of trade. Hopes for Disarmament. Jane Addams of Hull House, Chicago —Two projects I hope will materialize in_1931: In the realm of intern: affairs I hope the year will bring & more successful disarmament conference than has yet bene held; and I hope the pi ent depression will result in a satisfac- tory system of unemployment insurance. H. L. Mencken, editor and critie— That it will see & definite break in the politico-ecclesiastical tyranny that has oppressed and disgraced the United States since the war, American people will demand once more the strict ebservance of the bill of rights. Ben B. Lindsey, former Denvér Juve- nile Court judgé—I hope for the suc- cess of the campaigh to abolish the divorce courts and substitute for them a commission of experts, two from the medical and one from the legal profes- sion, to hear all domestic discords, and, after an effort of reconciliation has falled, to grant an honest divorce by mutual consent. George Palmer Putnam, publisher— That the public will buy and read more and that the |l books and that the publishers will pro- duce fewer and better books. Inteliectual Enlightenment. Dr. 8, Parkes Cadman, cher—My | hope for the is mot founded upon unaided humahity. Man occupiés a friendly universe. FHence the stgeam of tendency runs toward intellectual enlightenment. So far as man is con- dismiss the ape and predict the angel. Long, Senator-elect from That & way may be found to separate Wall Street from Main street. Then, I believe, we will have a ready solution for economic @epression. Dr. Julius Klein, Assistant Secretary of Commerce—-That American business men will continue their efforts to elimi- nate waste in marketing at home and extend our markets abroad. William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor—That which I most ardently desire is or- ganization of wage earners into unions competent to keep progress for workers in line with social progress. Amelia Earhart, transatlantic flyer— What will aid aviation most in 1931 is further perfection of instruments and aircraft toward increased reliability. Development of ability to fly sched- uled service regularly even in bad weather will be a great step forward in air transport. Farmers Can Ald Themselves. Alexander Legge, chairman of the Federal Farm Board—That prices of farm products will increase. I belleve this can be hastened by the farmers themselves if more of them will or- ganize to act collectively in marketing and in adjusting the quantity and qual- fonal | ity of their production more nearly to normal mwnunl consumer requirement, Nichol Murray Butler, president of Columbia Uniyersity—That convincing be shown by the highest Agomlble officers of our tate governments that possess the intellectual capacity, administrative competence, the promptly and effective- y and constructively with the great national and international problems which confront the United States. Fu- ture judgment of the effectiveness of our form of 1ovemmmt and the quali- ty of our national character may well be determined by the measure in which this hope is fuifilled.

Offieial Finds It Nat- ural for Democrat to Back Senator Norris. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Mon- tana, last night drew return fire from Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican National Committee, for his caustic criticism Monday of Lucas' activities in an effort to defeat Senator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, in the last election. Lucas also took a dig at Norri§ and at Chairman Nye of the Senate Cam- paign Funds Committee, which dis- closed that Lucas borrowed funds to pay for literature opposing the re-elec- tlon of Norris and that the loan was secured by an account of the Republi- can National Committee, Lucas said it was “not at all surpris- ing” that Walsh should come to the ajd of “his fellow Democrat, Gedrge W. Norris.” Norris supported Gov. Smith for the presidency tn 1928. Continuing, he sald that “I venture to say that Senator Walsh has not read the litera- ture which I personally at my own expense furnished to th Republican: the last campaign. As I have repeatedly stated, this literature made no reference to any :s,le!rg‘ioll,ls ?D‘utkm nor was it calculated y_inference to aro of any kind. b “In thrusting himself into this con- troversy, Senator Walsh, intentionally or unintentionally, has placed himseif in the position of coming to the rescue of Senator Nye in the situation in which the North Dakota Senator finds him- & result of his reckless charge of a Republican ‘slush fund’ in the last campaign—a charge which he has had to confess publicly was madé without even an attempt to get the facts.” el DR.
