zoo ANIMALS HUNGRY
CONGRESS ASKED FOR $4,000
MORE TO FEED EN-,
Dalzell Amendment Appropriating
$4,000 for Better Roads in
Park Adopted.

The roads in the National Biological
Park are not as good they might be
and the animals eat more than thy once
did.
Chairman Tawney of the House appro-
priations committee explained today with
tears in his eyes. during the general de-
bate the sundry civil bill. how his
committee had been forced to increase
the appropriation for the Zoo by $1,000
in order that the animals might get
enough to eat. Representative Dalzell OF
Pennsylvania did the kicking about the
roads. He offered an amendment to ap-
propriate $1,000 additional to build re-
tanning wall along the edge of that steep
road that runs from Connecticut avenue,
or rather Calvert street down into the Zoo
and by the animal houses. His amend
ment also made the money applicable
for the reconstruction and repair of road
ways and pathways in the Zoo.
Representative Fitzgerald OF New York
objected. He explained that he walked
out to the Zoo two or three times week
with his family. and thought the foot
paths and roadways were in excellent
condition. The main difficulty was, he
said, that the road from Connecticut ave-
nue. down into the Zoo was steep, with
sharp turns, and that reckless motorists
took these turns at a dangerous rate of
speed. The object OF the DalZell amend
ment. he insisted. was to build a retain
ing wall to retain these reckless
gentlemen on the road
Mr. Stafford of Wisconsin urged more
music for the citizens of Washington.
a great many of whom, he said. were
Just 'prisoners of the department" He
thought the additional $4,000 proposed
by Mr.. Dalzell should be expended in
giving the citizens of Washington who
had to stay here all the hot summer
long popular concerts in the parks. He
didn't think the automobilists needed
any further favors.
The Dalzell amendment was adopted
by vote of Al to 81.

T0CHANGE INAUGURATION
SENATOR CLARK INTRODUCES
HOUSE RESOLUTION.
Referred to Judiciary Committee,
Which, It Is Hoped, Will Take
Prompt Action.

Senator Clarke OF Arkansas has become
a champion in the Senate of the move
ment for changing the date of inaugura-
ton from March 4 to the last Thursday in
April. He introduced the Henry House
resolution for an amendment to the fed

and Ii was referred to the Senate commit
tee on judiciary.
A similar resolution. having the same
object is pending now before the Senate
committee on privileges and elections
This was introduced by Senator Depew
Of New York shortly after the beginning
of the extra session last spring when the
memory of the slush and cold and the
snow Of the last inauguration day was
fresh.
Hearing on Old Resolution.
On the Depew resolution a public hear
ing was given shortly after the beginning
of the present session of Congress, more
than four months ago, and several mem
bers Of the committee at the time ex-
pressed themselves as heartily in favor
Of the proposed change.
Senator Burrows of Michigan is chair
man of the committee, and when asked
about the prospects OF action on the reso-
luton replied that the committee was
still ''pondering' over it,
Senator Clarkes resolution was referred
to the judiciary committee, of which Mr.
Clarke is a member, and 1t is hoped the
committee will take prompt action on IT.
That resolution is identical with the one
which one-third of a vote defeated in the
House a few days ago. resolution OF
the same general import passed the Sen
ate several years ago.
