MONTGOMERY PAYS B-YEAR ROAD DEBT $278,623 gheck Is Turned; Over to Commission by Brooke Lee. Epecial Dispatch to The Star. BALTIMORE. Md, May 13.—When the reorganized State Roads Commis- sion met yesterday for the first time, E. Brooke Lee, newly appointed mem- ber, presented that body with a check for $278,623.42, drawn to its order by the treasurer of Montgomery County. The presentation revealed for first time the existence of an account of $510,623.42, said to have accumu- Jated against the county since 1925. This sum, it was said, represented an accumulation of construction costs in excess of the estimates on Montgomery County road projects. The county periodically has been gettling for highways constructed for it by the State Roads Commission which were to be financed through county funds. The highways were built in advance of the actual receipt of the money by the commission. Taken From 1929 Issues. The difference between the total ac- count of $510,623.42 and the check rep- resents $232,000, the amount of the 1931 road allocation to the county. This sum was credited to the account a the request of the county commis- stoners, Tacy Shaw, president of the Mont- gomery Board of County Commis- sioners, said the amount paid by check was taken from the balance of 1929 county bond issues. - At the meeting of the outgoing com- mission last Thursday, Willlam A. Codd, auditor for the roads body, was in- structed to collect the money or refer the matter to the attorney general. Robert H. Archer, assistant attorney general, who was present at the meet- ing yesterday, said such action was un- necessary as the settlement had been made. ° Settlement Accepted. The settlement was accepted by the new commissioners—Mr. Lee and Robert Lacy—on a motion by G. Clinton Uhl, chairman. Mr. Lee and Mr. Lacy suc- ceeded Howard Bruce and John K. Shaw, who had served since January 15, 1929. The minutes of the commission for & meeting April 28 said the roads body “had no knowledge of any substantial indebtedness by Montgomery County until a detallesl audit was completed in Februany, 1931, by the commission's suditor, which discloses this balance due of $275,640.72 for road construction ob- ligations up to December 31, 1828. Mr. William A. Codd, the commlis- sion’s auditor, due to fragmentary, in- sufficient and inadequate records in- herited by this commission, had no knowledge of the exact amount of this indebtedness although he appreciated the fact that there was some small balance due upon the completion of several contracts. The completed audit brought to him his first definite knowl- edge of the extent of the indebtedness. Indebtedness Listed. “Further,” the minutes continued, “that the balance of $225,000 now due should have been paid to the commis- sion from proceeds of bonds issued by Montgomery County under authority of chapters 346 and 547 of the Acts of 1929 in accordance with monthly bill- ings of the cost of construction which were forwarded to the county commis- sloners.” A summary of indebtedness to the State Roads Ccmmission follows: Amount due for road construc- undercrsosing accordance with the letter of the county ommissioners dated August 37, Amount diie af totai costs of idbor and material for laying s storm gewer in center of parking on Bradiey svenue, in "sccordance o 2mm0 $610,623.42 John K.

Such a credit in the amount of $232,000, rep- resenting this year's State road con- struction allocation, is herewith official- 1y and unanimously asked by all seven members of the Board of County Com- missioners of Montgomery County. Audit Not Made, “We desire to officlally advise your commission that we never have been eforded a sufficlent opportunity to 2udit or check the records of your commission covering the charges made against Montgomery County for the State road construction with county funds during recent years, and we re- spectfully request your commissicn to v us such an opportunity in the not_too distant future.” The president of the board said the crediting of the 1931 road allocation would not mean that Montgcmery County would be without a road pro- gram for the coming vear. A $600,000 bond issue was authorized for that pur- pose by the recent Legislature, he said. 0ofin, clalists Quer 25 Years It'll Not Obligate You in the ~—to have us mal on condition. on.

British Leader Reports. 1In his report of the expedition, Capt. rdon said: uc"“l"h: following morning, August: 217, 1814, to our great joy the wind be- came fair, and we made all sail up the river, which now assumed a more pleasing aspect.

" ‘l‘;lnlghrr up the river on the opposite | side, Fort Washingten appeared to our | anxious eyes and to our great satis- faction it was considered assailable. A‘ little before sunset the squadron an- chored just out of gunshot. The bomb | vessels at once took up their positions | to cover the frigates in the projected | attack at daylight next morning and began throwing shells. Garrison Retreats. «wThe garrison, to our great surprise, nu-::‘ud!tmm the fort and e short time | afterwards Fort Washington was blown | up; which left the Capital of America | and the populous town of Alexandria open to the squadron, without a loss of | a man. It was too late to ascertain | whether this catastrophe was occasion- | ed by one of our shells, or whether it had been blown up by the garrlson;[ but the opinion was in favor of the lat- | ter. Still we are at a loss to account for such an extraordinary step. The | position was good and its capture would | have cost us at least 50 men and more, | had it been properly defended; besides, | an unfavorable wind and other chances | were in their favor, and we could have destroyed it only had we succeeded in | the attempt. “At daylight the ship moored under the battery and completed its destruc- tion. The guns were spiked by the | enemy. We otherwise mutilated them, and destroyed the carriages. Fort Washington was a most respectable de- fense. It mounted two 52-pounders, two 32-pounders, in a martello tower, two 12-pounders with two loopholes for musketry, and a battery in the rear mounting, two 12 and 6 pound field pleces.” Fort Commander Dismissed. Failure of the defense at Fort Wash- ington resulted in the court martial and dismissal from the service of its| commanding officer, but perhaps part of the blome should have been placed | on BSecretary of War Armstrong, who rejected & plan to strengthen the fort before the advance of the British on Wllhllll:‘on, President Madison, more worried than Armstrong, had commissioned Maj. Plerre Charles L'Enfant in 1813, to in- | vestigate conditions at Fort Washington | and prepare plans for enlarging its de- | fenses. Maj. L'Eniant recommended | additional guns and equipment and | construction of an additional fort in the neighborhood. Fort Hunt, across the river, was not then in existence. Secretary Armstrong is quoted, in an attempt therefore, totally any preparations Was Indian Defense Site. President Madison is sald to have come round to this view, too, and, con- sequently but a& handful of men and antiquated defenses were ready to con- front the British fleet in August, 1814. Fort Washington's history reaches far beyond the War of 1812. The lofty bank on which it stands was recognized for its military advantages by the early colonists and by the Indians. promontory is said to have been the battleground of Indian tribes before the white men sailed up the Potomac, and Gov. Leonard Calvert and his English colonists found the bluff manned by savages in war paint when he anchored in nearby Piscataway Creek in 1634. In 1645, according to early Colonial records, a fort was established there for the defense of the ices. Capt. John Smith's map of Virginia shows an Indian settlement on ‘the approximate site of the fort. Guns Now Removed. George Washington personally se- lected the high bank for a fort in 1794 after a canoe trip along the river. He obtained land for the post from his friend and across-the-river neighbor, ‘Thomas Digges, and the fort was named ‘Warburton, after the Digges estate, known as Warburton Manor. During the Civil War Fort Washing- ton was garrisoned by 40 Marines, under command of Capt. A. 8. Taylor. l;l;lhemlort w-stnw?‘:ucted nfi 1896, v ree new-type ppearing guns replacing the old smooth-bore cannon. ‘These guns, of 10-inch bore, were fired for the last time when Lindbergh came up the Potomac from his triumphant flight to Paris. They were dismantled a few months later and sent to Aber- deen for storage. The fort today is scarcely more than a place to garrison troops. On duty there are 20 officers and 518 men. MRS.

MAN LEADS BANDIT IN RACE TO ARREST Clerk Runs to Police, Trailed by Ex-Sailor Who Tried Hold-up. Minus Gun.

Ship- ley, alias Stmmons, 27 years old, of the 1600 block of Ridge place southeast, who later admitted, police say, he planned the hold-up because he had no job and no prospects of securing one. Shipley was booked at No. 1 pre- cinct and is being held for further in- vestigation. Trips Burglar Alarm. ‘The clerk, Roy A. Barnes of 1909 Nineteenth street, was alone in the | office when the intruder came in shortly | before 10 o'clock, orderin, “Open up that safe and let's have the money!” Barnes, tripping a burglar alarm un- | derfoot, replied he did not have access to the safe, but indicated the cash drawer, which contained about $10. | As the man moved toward the drawer, Barnes darted past. The other wheeled and slugged the clerk behind the ear with his fist, just before Barnes ran to the street in search of police. Bandit Sprints Alongside. Barnes and the intruder reached the street almost together and the latter, perhaps from confusion, sprinted off | alongside the clerk, who was calling | for police.

Barnes said the man menaced him | with what was apparently a weapon |held in his right hand and kept con- cealed in a coat pocket.

Use Beauty Soap For Bath To Give Skin Proper Treatment A bath should be a luxury, in the| opinion of beauty speclalists all over the country. It should do more than just cleanse, it should refresh. it should soothe the skin, it should keep the skin supple, fine and soft. For this reason beauty experts| unite in recommending use of Palm- olive Soap—which is a beauty soap— for the bath as well as the face. “I wonder.” says one expert, “why the American woman doesn't give herself the luxury of a beauty bath every day. She can do so. Palmolive Soap costs no more than any bath soap. Yet think how much more it does for the skin” “When women come to me,” says another expert, “with all sorts of complaints about how soaps irritat the skin—I say to them, ‘But have you trled Palmolive? It is a veg- etable oll soap. You'll find it is sooth- ing as well as cleansing.’ I consider it the ideal soap for the bath and of course, as you know, I always recom- mend it for the face.” about soaps you use on your face Palmolive tells you, willingly .. . it is made of olive and palm oils—not one bit of animal fats!

What these experts prize in Palmolive is the skin effects no ordinary soap can ever bring. Nothing in all ages has com- pared with a blend of olive and palm oils for skin care. Experts know that!
