As one of its last acts before adjourning until September, the Inter- Federation Conference, at its Cham- ber of Commerce meeting last night, strongly indorsed the proposal of Dis- trict Delegate A. F. E. Scheer to extend New York avenue to Cheverly, Md.

Extending New York ave- nue to make it an arterial highway would do away with such conditions.” It was voted to send copies of the resolution to Senators Tydings and Radcliffe, the District committees of both the House and Senate and the District Commissioners. W. F. Mulligan, Prince Georges County delegate, introduced a resolu= tion to extend New Hampshire avenue into Maryland for the purpose of cre- ating another arterial highway in the You'll adore Bouquet d'Orsay —the last word from Paris in fragrance for daywear.

Callers Turn Bandits.
