REDUCED ON CHARGE
OF BOOSTING MOORE
Held Weather Bureau Inspector
Got Increase For Political
Services to Chief.

On the ground that an increase in
salary given to Norman B. Conger in
spector of the United States Weather
Bureau, was a reward for political SER
vice rendered Willis Moore, and not for
services to the United States. Acting
Secretary of Agriculture Galloway today
announced that Mr.. Conger has accord
ingly been reduced from inspector at
50, 900 a year to the position OF local
forecaster at Detroit, Mich, at $4,000 a
year.
This action followed a long investiga-
ton Of charges against Willis Moore, in
volving alleged political activity and use
of government resources to further his
campaign for appointment as Secretary
of Agriculture.
According to the findings Of DR.. Gallo
way, Mr.. Conger was rewarded by the
former Weather Bureau chief for politi-
cal activity in behalf Of the Moore can
didacy. This decision follows long
line of similar cases, all involving polit-
ical activity by Weather Bureau men.

Real Meal in Sight
For District Troops

Much joy! The District National
Guardsmen are to be paid tonight and
tomorrow.
This means a lot of clothing coming
out of hook before Saturday, and numer-
Gus square meals for some of the boys,
who have been eating a la catch-as-
catch-can.
Some of the guards haven't had any
jobs since the annual encampment at
Harpers Ferry. Neither have they had
any civilian clothes, but there is today
grand air of expectation with many
of the 1900 District soldier boys.
No longer need they wear out the
front path of their captains homes, no
more need they bang at the portal
break the electric bell, and prepare TO
kick in the panel. Pay day Is today for
the First Regiment and tomorrow for
the others. This is the info the guards
have sought from captains.
Hooray!

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU


Following upon the proposition to
establish a ferry across the Anacostla
river between South Capitol street and
AnaCostia. or Congress Heights, there
has been revived the project of con-
structing a bridge to span the Anacos-
tia between the city and Congress
Heights. a plan that was debated IN
Congress and among citizens and civic
bodies here and in the city fifteen years
ago.
Men who are responsible for the re-
vival of this project intend to have the
representative business associations and
committees in Congress made acQuaint-
ed with the plan. To this end there
will come TO this section on Saturday
delegations from the Chamber of Com
merCe, the Board of Trade, members
of the Senate and House District COM
mittees, and o fthe Appropriations Com
mitteeE.
Gustave Bender. representing the
Congress Heights Public improvement
Association. and Charles r. Burr,
president of the AnaCostia Citizens AS
soCiation. have been requested to aC-
company the party to the bridge site.
There will be a bill pending for the
erection of a bridge between Half street
southwest and Congress Heights. where
as the original propositions was 10
have a brIdge ADULT along the line
of South Capitol street extended. APP
preparations were made and survey
was had. but objections by the Navy
Department settled the fate Of the bill.
Because there was no such structure
desired between the Washington Navy
Yard and the Potomac river. Congress
would not heed the demands OF the
citizens. They have secured data now
showing that bridges of this character
have been built between navy yards and
deep water elsewhere.
The ferry project will not be lost
sight of. Gustave Bender was ap-

A Tribute to the Cow

The following tribute to the written by f.
D. Grayham in Pacific Dairy Review:
Most potent of all influences in the building of this
the mghtiest nation in history, the Her drew
the plows which first cultivated the land of the New
World, hauled to market the products of the field and
with slow energy, moved the chattels and household
goods beyond the mountains to homes in the Farther
West.
E'They supplied the beef which is the food of the An
gloSaXon that conquered since history
began They furnished the shoes of pioneers who rod
the unknown wds and made of them the farmsteas and
cities of present enlightenment They gave the
clothes and robes to protect the pioneers against the de-
stroyng blasts of winter and made possible
fore the railroad They covered the chair upon which
ne sat- filled the mattress upon which he slept and glued
the furniture which he used.
The old cow is mother of the whole bovine race and
foster mother of half the human From the roadside
weed she manufactures the most nourisbng of human
rich and the everpresent help of the poor She is
the economist of the people and the cnervator of their
resources She partakes of the grass of the field and
leaves the farm the richer for her presence.
AS she helped to develop the farm from the wilder
ness and she ate of it's first fruits will
the life of the soil and make still greater agriculture
possible.
In all our history the COW has been mans closest
friend and benefacor Upon products are built the
great business interests which the stocvards
the creamees the shoe factories the harness shops and
the mills
Take away the and our banks would close. onr
graveyards yawn. and the wheels of commerce world
to turn Foster and for her and business Aourisbe
the fertility Of the soil is conserved and she becomes
! the custodian OF the nation prosperity"

SINCERITY 1HE TEST

Theodore Christianson of the Dawson Sentinel, has
been accused of Ioosing his progressveness. But he
back last week with editorial which reflects the
opinion of many thinking whose interest in public
questions does begin and end with desire for office
Mr.. Christianson says
There those who have accused US of having de-
serted the progressive The accusation unwarrant
ed We are enthusiastic ever in advocacy of
those principles which will bring the government
to the beope.
Oar quarrel not with the cause, but with of
the hypoces who have been using the to attain
their personal and entirely selfish ends with the half
baked reformers who have not tempered their zeal with
judgments with the zealos and freeaers who through
their refusal compromise methods and nstmenaities
have baked the progress of the cause.
It was unfortunate that the leadership Of the pro-
gressive movement many places fell into The hands Of
men who themselves had political abtons 1t un.

fortunate that weakngs and scalawags enabled to
appeal for votes from the vantagepont Of progressive

INTERFERENCE IN
GOLF JOURNEYS
ADDS3STROKES
By Chick Evans

IT HE inexperienced player usually
plays from two to three strokes
poorer in a tournament than
in his practice rounds while the sea
sOned golfer, as a rule, plays just
the least bit better when a tourney
makes the extra demand for skill. A
tournament "rattles" one player and
stimulates the other. OF course,
trained players do go to pieces in a
tournament, but it is their standing
that makes this noticeable.
Formally Unnerves Youngsters.
Generally speaking. players of a
certain ability can be depended upon
to reach a definite place in a tOurna-
ment with i certain average of ex-
cellence, while the inexperienced play
err who is capable of a fine score in
informal games, either fails to qualify
or makes a very high score. The
formality of the occasion and the
presence of many first-class golfers
destroy the confidence of the novice
and ruins his game. The experienced
golfer has his troubles, too; has un-
expected defeats, but ordinarily, his
game Is played with clOcklike regu-
larity. He has learned his weakness
es in many a tournament, and he
knows what to expect His mental
and when he fails in the first round
1t is before the skill of a fine player
Experienced Players Nerves Good.
The experienced player sleeps well
before important matches. How es-
sential that is only the golfer who
has felt an absolute collapse of his
physical energies before the end of
the day knows. l well remember that
in my early tournament experience
slept not at all before even the
smallest events, and lost many of
them from sheer lack of strength, and
was ill in bed for days after 1t took
years of training to take that out
of me. Now l know that 1 can only
do my best, and it is useless to worry
Training does many things; it is in
dispensable in every branch of human
endeavor, but alas. it does not en-
able one to entirely escape his tenn
permanent.

AS FORECAST IN THIS COL
umn, Frank Chance has given First
Baseman Borton the we'll known
rinky- dink and Jack Knight re-
turns to. the big league-a path
from the minors he has travelled
so often that he can do il at night.
Knight played second base in the
International League. and he will
either be used at that position or
shifted to first, corner to which
he is peculiarly fitted because of
his great height and agility.
The return Of Knight recalls a
sad chapter in the past history OF
the Yankees Manager Stallings
had a deal all framed up the year
before he was dropped by which
Chase was to go in a three
cornered trade and he was to Sc
cure E6 Walsh from the White
Sox and he planned to make first
baseman of Knight. The higher
powers in the Yankee club objected
to parting with Chase. With Walsh,
Stallings would unquestionably
have won the pennant. He lost it
by a smaller margin OF games than
Walsh would have been certain to
win. So Chase was kept-to wreck
a fast coming team-and Knight
drifted back to the minors.
According to all reports, he is
better than ever this year He has
recovered his speed and is hitting
the ball more smartly and with
more consistency. At any rate,
compared with Borton, he is bound
to strengthen the club.

VETERAN CUBS TO REUNITE

bach, of the present day Cubs, and
Artie Hoffman, recently released to
Nashville, reunite and battle the

lowing an operation for appendicitis.
