Motion Pictures a Feature.

With an automatic motion picture
camera operated with compressed air,
Mr.. Barnes and his associates were able
to add to the famous Rainey studies of
the etiquette of the water hole in
Africa, and permanently to record the
drinking habits of the denizens Of the
untamed veldt.
1t was found that some animals do
all their drinking before MONDAY, while
others never seem to have a thirst
until after the sun has passed the
meridian. The giraffe goes eight days
at a clip, but is so regular In his drink
ing that his visits to the water hole
might serve as a jungleland calendar.
The babboon Is the guardian of the
water hole. Sitting in some high place,
he keeps an eye out in all directions.
AS long as he is silent all is quiet and
peaceful around the drinking place.
But one bark brings the whole con-
greSS of species to attention

SAYS FOOD TRUST"
MUST BEAR BLAME
Representative BorIand Does
Not Think Embargo Proper
Remedy to Apply.
VIEWS ON D. C. AFFAIRS

Opposition to the proposed embargo
on the expectation of food is voiced by
Representative Borland of Missouri.
who, while stating that he understood
the general aim of those who back the
proposition of Representative FitZ-
gerald, and sympathized with it, an
nounces that he does not believe that
the embargo would be the proper
means to the desired end.
Those back of the embargo, said
Mr.. Borland, ARE aiming at the control
and monopolization of food supplies by
the huge food trust of the country. l
strongly favor the taking of the control
of the prices of food supplies away
from this trust, which is composed of
the big cold storage plants of the coun-
try. But / believe the means they pro-
pose would inevitably defeat their pur-
pose and shall oppose the embargo on
those grounds.
I'VE have tried embargoes before, and
they have never been successful. At
best they are only temporarily eNpedi-
ent and always they are exceedingly
dangerous. The inevitable effect of an
embargo is to cut production, While
high prices stimulate production. And.
above all things, production must be
encouraged.

Prompt response in contributions has

Although the United States armies
today are provided with almost every
thing to make the men comfortable in
the field under service conditions there
are many things which may be pro-
vided with the District militia fund, to
be given by the people of the District

There is a growing interest in the

send to the District troops funds with
which to provide necessities and luXu-
ries showing that the people of the Dis
trict want them to have a real Christ

POWER PROJECT HAS
SETBACK BY REPORT
Thorough Studies" Are Need
ed Before Work at Great
Falls Is Begun.
VIEWS OF U. S. ENGINEERS

The proposed development of the
Great Falls water power project by
the government should not be under
taken until thorough studies have
been made into all the phases of the
project according to a report made to
the Secretary of War by a board of
engineer officers appointed last May
to look into the subject.
Secretary Baker of the War Depart
ment has agreed to this finding of the
board, and unless Congress should de-
termine otherwise and go ahead with
appropriations for the water-power
project there appears little probability
OF any further steps being taken at
this time to bring about this devel-
opment
Friends of the waterpower project
today admitted that they had little
nope of accomplishing results under
the present administration, in view of
the report of the engineer board and
the concurrence of the Secretary of
war IN this view. They pointed out
that investigation after investigation
mas been made into the plan to develop
waterpower in the Potomac river
above Washington for the purpose of
supplying the government and the Dis
trlct with power and light: that these
reports have been favorable, and in
1913, under Col Langfitt of the En-
gineer Corps, an exhaustive and favor
able report was made, complete in
$4,000 to make the investigation con-
Quoted by Col Langfitt, and the entire
sum was expended and every detail Of
the project was worked out.

saying that if the ship had to be sunk
it would be with the flag flying.
capt. Duffy maintained his ground
and so rapidly were the preparations
to sink the Chemung made that further
discussion about the flag ceased, and

taken aboard the submarine a torpedo
and three shells sent against the side
