BIG GAME LECTURE.

The big brown bean OF Alaska
comes down each spring from its
winter alternating home in time to
catch the hordes OF salmon as they
reach the coast He then follows the
fish upstream through a wild coun-
try. which is as yet little known.
For six years Harold McCracken has
followed the bears back along the
streams and captured fascinating
motion pictures of this most inter
esting fish eating animal.
Mr. McCracken will lecture on Big
Game Of the North Country" before
the National Geographic Society to-
morrow afternoon and evening at the
new Masonic Temple. His film mar
rative also will include his adyen-
lures among the moose Of this new
wild west country Of North Amer
lea His pictures rank among the
most thrilling and informing wild
life reels yet shown in Washington.

D. D.C.ARM0RY PLAN
| GAINS MOMENTUM
Selection of important Com
mittees to Push Project
to Be Made Soon.

Selection of chairmen of the legis-
lative and publicity committees of
the newly organized citizens COM
mittee to work for National Guard
armory here is being given consid-
Grafton today by Maj. SGen. Anton
Stephan, commanding the National
Guard of, the District of Columbia and
the Goth National Guard Division,
comprising the troops of this city,
Maryland and Virginia. The commit
tee il composed of representatives of
nearly a score of the leading trade.
civic and patriotic organizations Of
the city.
Gen. stephan said he had made sew
eral tentative selections for commit
tee chairmen. but he was not pre-
pared to-announce them until he had
conferred with the men to ascertain
whether they could give the time.
Following the selection of the chair
men the full committees will be
named.
Bill 10 BE Drafted.
The most important will be the leg
tslative COMMITTEES, as on this group
will fall the duty of pressing the pro-
poSal before Congress and the prep
stTatlOH OF the pfll carr! ing lne pTo-
vision for the armory. Gen. Stephan
said today that he would request Maj.
Dan Donovan. auditor for the DIS
trict and representative of the Dis
trict Commissioners on the armory
committee, to prepare rough draft
of the measure carrying the appro-
priation. which will be submitted to
the Legislative committee as basis
for its discussions.
Maj. Donovan is thoroughly famii-
y, faf O.
ures, and it was he who proposed
that in the efforts to get the armory
here 1t should not be made a part of
arate District measure, to be paid for
under the 60-40 plan. as other appro-
priations are paid for by the District.
That the local National Guard IS
badly handicapped by its lack of
arlnory facilities is known TO the War
Department. Army inspectors have
for years condemned the local armory
facilities. and the last report on this
subject says:
Facilities Declared Poor.
That the District of Columbia Ma
tonal Guard is greatly handicapped
In its lack of armory facilities is the
most vivid impression received BY the
inspector. The present facilities are
only paSSa bly, suitable for a battalion.
To one familiar with the requirements
dictated to the various state govern
ments by the federal authorities in
tho facilities to be provided, the ex-
ample set by the federal government
in the National Capital is all the more

School Children.
Respond Perfectly
In Real Fire Drill

Sin hundred and thirty colored
pupils in Birney School, Nichols
avenue and Sheridan road, this
morning gave q perfect execution
OF fire. drill when fire was dis.
covered in the basement of the
building. 1t was not until after
the children had reached the street
that they knew there was fire dam
ger.
j. +. SyphaX, principal, and his
sixteen teachers managed the chill
dren so there was not the slightest
hitch in getting them from the
building. The children responded
to orders such as they had been
given In test drills, and when they
reached the street they were sur
prtsed to see tho fire engines ap-
preaching
Lieut.. David Zirkle, in charge of
No. 10 engine company. the first
company to reach the scene, found
that a small quantity Of unslaked
lime that had become heated during
the slaking process started blaze
In the basement. The fire did prac-
tically no damage.

startling. The dingy building provid-
ed is located in a section off the main
arteries of traffic. It has no stable
or garages. 1t is untitled for the
training Of engineer or mounted
troops and but poorly suited for in
fantry training. In location and in
facilities 1t does not invite it's use Is
a club or as an athletic center. The
surroundings as they affect morale
could hardly be worse"
Those who are working with the
committee feel optimistic at this time
over the efforts to get an armory
here 1t is felt that if it is kept out
of an omnibus building bill and made
a District proposition it will meet
with success
