Encouraged by the attitude of some of the large ofl interests, the American | Civie Association has submitted a pro- | posed” form of argreement to 12 national ofl companies using billboards in the Washington area to gain co-operation in restricting the number of signs on | the highways. ‘The step was prompted largely by the attitude of W.'C. Teagle, president of the Standard Qil Co. of New Jersey. Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., May 9.—Judge Julien Gunn, in Henrico Court, has sustained the constitutionality of the State billboard regulation act of 1830 in the first test case in which the statute has been involved, the alleged viclation of the law in the erection of a sign within 200 feet of a high- way intersection on the Washington highway near Richmond. In the Henrico trial justice's court the Grace Sign Service was fined $5 on the charge of erecting the bill- “ board, and the case was appealed. Judge Gunn ruled that the General Assembly had the right, under the general police powers of the State, to write the regulatory act upon the statute books. facement cf the landscape received | from a member of the National Capital Committee of the association, Mr. Teagle had written: “If we have bill- boards outside of the District which are a defacement, I am sure we will want them removed.

Sands, chairman: Mrs. Spencer Illsley, secretary; Mrs. Henry Frost, Mrs. Ade- lalde Massey, Mrs. Moncure Lyon, Mrs. Nannie Fred, Miss Charlotte Noland and Mrs. Henry Fairfax, has sent out an ap- peal to the property owners in Loudoun County for active co-operation in pre- serving the natural roadside beauties of | the county and for help in getting rid |of unsightly and sometimes dangerous billboard advertisements.

Special Dispatch to The Btar. RICHMOND, Va., May 9.—Gov. Pol- lard is now studying the motor vehicle code preliminary to making his own recommendations to the General As- | sembly when it convenes next January, following the plan for a change in the license tax submitted to the Governor yesterday by T. McCall Frazier, director of motor vehicles, at the former's re- uest. Y The new plan, one of the features of which is the reduction of the license tax on all automobiles weighing up 3,000 to $10, was explained by Frazier last night before the annu State convention of the Travelers’ Pro- tective Association, meeting in Peters- burg. $5 Fee Considered. A possibility of the submitting to the Assembly of a plan calling for an even lower fee for lightweight pleasure cars, with $5 mentioned as the rate, is also being considered by some of those inter- ested. It is held that such a fee wodld be a great inducement to get more ple to move to this State, especially in the northern sections, where people compare the present relatively high irginia tax with much lower rates in Maryland and the District of Columbia. Director Frazier's plan calls for a reduction on the license fee on all classes of passenger cars and a raising of the fee for truck licenses. Under the plan pleasure cars up to 3,000 pounds would pay $10, cars from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, $15; cars from 4,000 to 5000 pounds, $25, and cars from 5,000 to 6,000 pounds, $30. The rate at present is 70 cents per 100 pounds, and the proposed schedule would mean a reduction of $11 on cars of 3,000 pounds. Tasued for Full Year. No licenses would be issued for frac- tional portions of & year under Mr. Prazier's plan. At the present time after April 1 each year the tags may be purchased for three-fourths of the yearly rate, and in the same propor- tions after one-half and after three- fourths of the year has elapsed. The plan would not mean y de- i crease in revenue, it is said, because it is equalized by the higher rate on truck licenses. Trucks of !5 ton or less, would pay $15 under the new plan; trucks of 1 ton, $25; 115 tons, $35; 2 tons, $45 and 2}; tons, $60. Trucks of 3 tons would pay $75; 32 tons, $100; 4 tons, $150; 41, tons, $200; 5 tons, $250; each ene-half above 5 tons up to 10 tons, $50, and each !; ton from 10 to 20 tons, $100 additional. |LAW SCHOOL PLANS BELLARMINE HONOR Portrait of Jesuit Theologian Will Be Presented at Exer- cises Wednesday. A reception and exercises honoring the feast day of Robert Cardinal Bel- larmine, noted Jesuit theologian and authority on law and government, who | was canonized a few years ago, will be held Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at ;:e Georgetown University School of | Law. | A feature of the exercises will be { the presentation of a_portrait of Car- dinal Bellarmine to the law school by the president of the university, Dr. W. Coleman Nevils, 8. J, and the an- nouncement of the Bellarmine scholar- ship in law. ‘The exercises will be held in the law library. Dean George E. Hamilton and James J. Kelly will speak on behalf of the faculty and student body. Then Rev. Thomas B. Chetwood, 8. J., the regent, will introduce Dr. James Brown Scott, secretary of the Carnegie En- dowment for Icternational Peace and professor of international law in the School of Foreign Service, who will de- liver a panegyric on the life and works of the cardinal. President Nevils will preside and there will be appropriate music by the Glee Club. A movement is now on foot to have Cardinal Bellarmine proclaimed a doctor of the church. His mother was the sister of Pope Marcellus II. He entered the Soclety of Jesus at the age of 18 and in later years, at the time of his ordination as cardinal, the Pope said of him: "“The Church of God has not his equal in learning.” Bellarmine day at Georgetown, it was announced, probably will be an annual observance of similar character, BRITON STILL THINKS UNIVERSE IS BREAKING Sir James Jeans, After Studying Millikan Theory, Says He Is More Convinced Than Ever. ‘STAR.

He finds nothing illuminating in Dr. Robert A.

Wilson Observatory of the Carnegie In- stitution of Washington.

In case of inclement weather the pil- grimage will be postponed to the fol- lowing day, Wednesday, May 27. The garden tour is being so planned as to include such marvelous show places as Abremont, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Parsons Erwin; the to | Willlam 8. Corby place at Chevy Chase Circle, and the estate of Capt. and Mrs, Chester Wells. Memories of Eighteenth Century. Historic interest of & fascinating sort will be implied in the visits to Hayes, the 170-year-old Colonial manor of Mr. and Mrs.'G. Thomas Dunlop, and to Brcok Farm, the quaint Revolutionary home of Dr. and Mrs. Frank Hood Shultze. Eighteenth-century memories, both grim and gay, hover around these old homes. The galleried house at Brook Farm still bears the mark of enemy cannon, while back of Hayes Manor in a sunny corner of the straw- berry garden is the grave of Parson Alexander Willlamson, the rock-ribbed old Tory who built the mansion and was later unfrocked because of his royalist leanings. He sulked out his remaining days among the roses and lilacs of Hayes, then a 700-acre estat> named after the Hnaes of ‘County Kent in England. Affer his death the estate was pur: chased, in 1782, by James Dunlop, & young Scotchman new to this country. Six generations of Dunlops have now lived at Hayes. Like Parson Willlam- son, they have preferred to remain near their home in death and slumber peacefully in the family burying plot & few hundred feet from the mansion. Its stately trees are among the chief beauties of Hayes. A gnarled and blasted oak of giant size, completely draped with wistaria, breaks the wide sweep of lawn fronting the house. The silver and pale green of young birches contrast with a background of great dark spruces, while the seldom seen tulip poplars show exotic green and yellow blossoms. The Hayes flower garden is properly old fashioned, with an abundance of roses, lilacs and peonies, while lilies of the valley and tall flag lilies peep out at every corner. Old Slave Cabin Remains. Brook Farm is that great rarity, a real farm almost in the city. One of the old slave cabins remains on the place an® Mrs. Shultz has furnished it cleverly with the proper antiques of the period. Copper cooking things are on the hearth, while hooked rugs, patchwork quilts and hundred-year-old prints complete the picture. There is even a ocoonskin nailed to the wall Tea will be served in this cabin as well as in the Shultz home on the day of the pligrimage. Quite as engrossing to many visitors as the Summer flower garden of Brook Farm will be the sleek barnyard popu- lation owned by Dr. gnd Mrs. Shuitz. Rare pheasants and ‘wild ducks are being successfully raised, also some aristocrats of the poultry world with blue-black’ combs and silky white, fur- like down instead of feathers. There is a huge turkey gobbler named Joe, who is no pacifist, two beautiful horses, a Shetland pony, and, last bug not least, BSusie Lee, a very large and Very pink- and-white pig. Susie, as a very tiny igling, was given to one of the Shultz ys and this humane-minded family have never made up their minds to let Susie go the way of all pork. An attractive feature of the tour will be the inclusion of a number of the smartly planned smaller gardens that abound in suggestions and inspiration for every amateur gardener. Has Miniature Nursery. One of the most striking gardens of this group is that of Col. and Mrs. L. C. Duncan at their Bradley lane home. Col. Duncan has completely planned and executed the entire garden, including the cement garden furnish- ings and fountains which accent the landscaping scheme. Narrow brick walks ald in securing a ltnfthy per: spective, while an amusing little Ja) anese rock garden with tiny bridges and pagodas occupies one far corner, an- other one being taken up by a minia- ture nursery, where the éolonel raises his own trees from the seed. Another instance of the value of per- sonal planning, although on a different scale, is seen at Woodend, where Mrs. Chester Wells has taken the natural contours of her grounds into considera- tion in working out a scheme of garden units. Flowering trees and shrubs are planted at the edge of the forest to form a sort of woodland garden at the border of the wide lawns. A rose gar- den and a rock garden are other 7:.— tures, while the evergreen court shows a réstful severity of beauty relieved only by the purple tones of flag lilies and lavender. A small artificial lake is also in course of being beaufified and will soon show a fairylike contrast of water lilles with weeping willow. e HOLY TRINITY GIRLS WIN ESSAY: PRIZES Miss Lesieur and Miss Miller Take First Awards in Chemical ~ Society Contest.
