BRIDGE PROJECTS * HITBY CITZENS Terminal Act Adherence Is Asked—Low-Cost Housing Project Held Threat. Opposition to the proposed construc- tion of bridges over New York avenue Rortheast, as reported favorably by the ¥ouse District Committee recently, was expressed in a resolution adopted last night by the Dahlgren Terrace | Citizens' Association meeting in the Crosby S. Noyes School. The association has for the past few months, in co-operation with other Northeast citizens' groups, upheld the terminal act of 1903 and contend that the Northeast section is entitled to three bridges over the railroad tracks 1o be built at the expense of the rail- road companies. A. F. E. Scheer, re- tiring president, explained that three bills have been introduced in Congress within the past three mqnths and, he said, none of these conform to the terminal act of 1903. sent to the House and Senate District Committees.

B PURLOINED PEANUTS. ALVIN COOLIDGE was browsing | about the basement rooms and | corridors of the White House, a short time after taking office, when he spied a large sack of peanuts near a | door leading to the rear grounds. This discovery interested him at once. He always had a passion for any kind of nuts, especially peanuts. This huge bag was open at the top and looked most inviting. He gazed upon his find for a second or two and then helped himself liberlly. He filled his two coat pockets. Later in the morning, while at his | desk in the executive office, he rang for his secretary and told him he felt sick and directed that his engage- | ments be canceled. He went to his on hand for the policemen and gar- deners to fill their pockets before go- ing to their duties in the grounds. It was in this way that the squirrels were fed. * ok kX LOST—ONE AIRPLANE.
