NEW ROAD URGED FOR IMPROVEMENT Delegation Tells Commis- sioners Davidsonville Route to Annapolis Is Best. By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, September 4.—With the opening of a new and shorter yoad between Annapolis and Wash- ington by way of Davidsonville, a delegation today appeared before the Board of Anne Arundel County Com- missioners requesting that this road be improved rather than the Defense Highway. The new road was opened through the construction of about 5 miles of gravel highway connecting the road from Annapolis to Davidsonville to a concrete and macadam road running from the Crain Highway into Central and Maryland avenues, Washington. The entire highway is paved with hard-surfaced road, with the 5-mile gravel stretch. ‘The new route runs from Annapolis to Washington by way of Camp Parole, Davidsonville, Hall Station, Seat Pleasant and into Washington past the White House Station. The new gravel section is built over a 60-foot right of way, graded to 40 feet and crosses the Patuxent River over a new bridge 200 fcet long and 30 feet wide. James A. Walton, former president of the county commissioners, one of those interested in securing the pres- ent Defense Highway when it was first constructed, urged the further | as | improvement of the new route, against the Defense Highway. J. Irving King of Davidsoavilie asked the commissioners to take steps to have the 5-mile gravel stretch on the new route oiled as soon as pos- sible to lay dust. He declared the new route was the logical site for an Annapolis - to - Washington highway and would divert considerable traffic from the Defense Highway, giving Washingtonians a shorter route to beaches along West and South Rivers and other points in Southern Anne Arundel County. ‘Walton declared the new route was the one contemplated by the late Gov. Austin L. Crothers as the site for the Annapolis-Washington Highway. Dixie (Continued From First Page.) calming waters about French Reef. | All about us are the lights of the res- cue ships bravely standing by. Last . night was a repetition of the one be- fore, with another raging sea. “But the sea has already subsided and the tremendous rolling and pitch- ing has gone. There is only a gentle swell. There is high hope for the pas- sengers and crew of the Dixie.” The Dixie, her black hull giving a scalloped effect as the sea broke around her, lay broadside on the reef a short distance from the Platano, said Depperman. Waves Dash High. “Waves dash almost up to her white superstructure,” he continued. “A heavy swell seems to be running around the Dixie, which will make rescue operations precarious. “Capt. C. D. McRae of the Platano | is silent as he stares across the sea to the Dixie. He stands grimly, await- ing the first indication that it is gafe to lower the life boats. “The officers and crew of the Platano are standing by. Like the captain, uncommunicative, they are almost grim. There is serious business afoot. The Coast Guard cutter Carrabas- sett, which left Miami last night, re- ported a gruelling passage to the scene. “We arrived,” the wireless said, “at 8 am, after a sleepless night during which the Carrabassett bucked moun- tainous waves and a 55-mile wind. Capt. John McGann, with his sub- ordinate officers, spent the night on the bridge. Quartermaster Hurt. “Seas smashed the wheelhose win- dows and Quartermaster Claude Sim- mons, who was at the wheel, received a deep cut on his leg when he was struck by a large piece of glass from one of the broken windows. “The forward port was smashed and the quarters of the crew flooded. “From the Carrabassett the Dixie appears to be lying high with a list of about 5 degrees to starboard. The seas are moderating, but there is a stiff wind.” An Associated Press reporter flew over the Dixie today and reported that the ship “looks all right, al- though she lists slightly to the star- board.” “The passengers seem cheerful and unworried.” he said. “Most of them are dressed in their sports clothes. Lining the rails, they cheered and waved as we circled about them.” The Dixie was en route from New Orleans to New York. Its passengers are from all parts of the country, more than 100 of them from the vicinity around New York. To anxious relatives calling the officers of the Morgan Line in New York officials were able to give Capt. Sundstrom’s message: “All well. Every member of crew has rendered perfect service. Pas- sengers calm and in good spirits throughout entire event.” V. F. W. Excursion Tomorrow. Members of Admiral Robert E.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy, Sep- | tember 4.—Prelates close to Pope Pius said tpday they believed the pontiff probably would convoke a consistory during the first half of October.

Ge. amels dont get your Wind FAMOUS SWIMMERS AGREE Champion swimmers speak with authority when they discuss sound wind—healthy nerves—and Camels. Buster Crabbe, champion in the 400- meter free-style Olympic event, calls himself*‘a consistent Camel smoker.” This can be seen from his latest pho- tograph, reproduced on this page. *I have smoked Camels for years,” he says. “If you go in for sports at all, I'd advise Camels. You'll find, as I did, that Camels are so mild they never get your wind or cut your endurance.” What Crabbe says is confirmed by Helene Madison; by Jane Fauntz, the Chicago girl who rose to Olympic fame; and by Stubby Kruger and Josephine McKim. So turn to Camels. Enjoy those costlier tobaccos in Camel's matchless blend. Smoke all you wish. Athletes say, “Camels don’t disturb your nerves or wind.” M FUSSY ABOUT MILDNESS.
