TWO DOZENS OF SQUADS,
OFFICIALS IN DILEMMA
Department of Commerce and
Labor Wrestling With
vexing Problem.

How to dispose Of two dozen pairs Of
squads has been the subject Of long and
serious legal conferences at the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor for some
time, and the solution is said to be still
in doubt.
About two weeks ago Chief Clerk Pin
dell OF the department was advised by
the lighthouse bureau, that it had in it's
custoday two dozen pairs. more or less. Of
squads which 1t desired to get rid Of,
and asked for a ruling as to their dis
position.
Clerk Pindell Puzzled.
Chief Clerk Pindell knows very well
what squads are, for he has quite
number Of them at his country home at
Pindell station, on the line OF the Chesa-
peake Beach railway. and he Is very
proud OF them, because they are the
young of fancy carrier pigeons. He also
knows what to do with those which he
owns. but when called on for an oficial
ruling as to the disposition OF squads
belonging to the government his mind be-
gan 10 run to legal terms, such as fer
rae naturae" and the like. and he went
post haste to Assistant Solicitor Quigley
Of the department 10 set his LEGAL ADVICE.

Appeal to Scientists.

Dry tones Of the law were consulted,
and even the scientists of the Smith
sonian Institution, it is said. were
drawn into the conference. but for two
weeks past, at least, those squads of
the lighthouse bureau have been hover
ing, fguratively, between sky and
earth, because the officials Of the De-
rartment Of Commerce and Labor are
in doubt as to whether they should be
disposed of in open market for broil-
trained for future use in the service.
The young birds that are causing all
this trouble are the offspring of car
rier pigeons used in the lighthouse
service. and Chief Clerk Pindell said
today he was not quite certain what
would become OF them.
