Couldn't Face Parents.

CLARENDON, Va, May g.
Rather than face his parents and
tell them that he had played trliant
from school, Wilson P. Kilgore,
fourteen years old, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson Kilgore, Of Clarendon
avenue, Clarendon, Va, left home
and has not been seen since. Kill.
gore was a student at the Columbia
Junior High School of Washington.
Mrs. Kilgore said today that she
did not know her son had played
truant until after his departure.
She said the night before he van
ished he went out carrying a suit
case. Thursday morning he left,
telling his mother good by and seem
ing to be in the best of spirits. Mr.
and Mrs. Kilgore were informed
later by the teacher that their son
had not been to school for several
days.
The parents are led to believe
from inquiries among his class
mates that their son has gone to
Philadelphia. One boy whom he
had taken into his confidence about
going away having told them that
he believed he could get a position
at Wanamaker's in that city.
The police of Philadelphia, New
York and Washington. d. c., have
been asked to find the boy.
Arlington Post, No. 1870, will give
its annual Memorial Day Dance to
night at 9'o'clock at the Clarendon
Community Hall. The proceeds
will be used to purchase flowers
for the. graves Of the boys of Ar

ent estimates Of the damage Is be

greatest injury known at this time
was done at Cumberland and be.
tween that city and Williamsport,
and at Harper's Ferry. At Cumber-
land the guard wall at the locks
protecting the canal from the Pc.

tended in the present instance.
The report OF the Secretary of
the Interior. which originally called
the attention of the Congress to
the urgency of making an appro.
priation FOR the field. work of
gathering these data, some thirty.
five years ago, cited in particular
the need that would be felt for
such in future times, for guidance
of engineers, in planning works on
the Potomac River, with the object
of controlling and regulating it's
discharge in times Of freshets.
Large Sums Spent.
In the aggregate, over the period
of years that these observations.
surveys, ETC., have been in the
gathering and making, a sum of
hundreds Of thounsands has been
spent on the Potomac watershed
alone.
If this information, gotten at
such heavy expense, is ever to have
any worthy use, it is in the case
at hand. If 1t is to serve no pur-
pose. the expense of maintaining
highly paid experts, in the Interior
Department and that of Commerce.
should be curtailed.
The project, as outlined by its
originators, does not contemplate
asking for an appropriation from
the Federal Government to defray
the cost Of any actual construc-
ton work.
u Is proposed to seek the leader.
ship of the Federal authorities in
solving the problems that have
arisen. since only the, Federal Gov.
eminent can function, in that the
situation is of interstate order.
The sole expense to the National
Government would be in providing
q board of engineers to examine
into the matters and make such
recommendations and plans as may
be necessary.
Costs on Communities.
Those projecting the undertaking
assume that the several populous
communities, industrial establish.
ments and railroads to be protected
by the resultant construction, will
bear the costs entailed, on some pro.
portionate basis to each and accord
ing to the degree Of benefit to fol.
low. 'Ei
From an engineering standpoint
there are no insurmountable diff
culties to be met with in this prob
lem that would cause a prohibitive
cost. The operations to be under
taken will involve, from the present
prospect, only works Of a type that
can be readily. erected and at no
very great expense.
The action that is looked for is
the authorization by the Congress,
of a Potomac River Conservancy
Commission, with appointment Of
its several members to probably de-
volve upon the President, or the
Secretaries Of War and Interior

It's hard to describe, but for
Mrs. Hanna Roiter, aged thirty

Being more or less bored,

Cold Storage Savings.

Cold storage systems have revolu-

element of waste deplorable in by
gone days has largely been eliminated.
In Britain there Is something like
twenty-five million cubic feet of cold
storage space available, and 1t is said
that twenty million eggs and one hun
dred and fifty thousand tons of meat
may be found in cold storage in Lon
don alone But eggs and meat are not
the only items which are commonly
kept in cold storage for longer or
briefer periods. Fabrics of all kinds,
furs and silks. are kept there. Then
vegetables and flowers are kept in
cold storage. Flowers and fruit can
be brought from Canada, Australia

Gates of bonds had been. destroyed in

Secretary Mellon, on learning that
Brewers charges had been made pub
lie, said that for every bond which has
been issued, its face value had found
its way into the treasury vaults He
added that there had been duplica-

no loss to the public or the govern
ment. He attributed the duplication
of numbers to mechanical errors, which
Brewer had said was not the case.
Brewers charges covered wide
range, the main features of which,
treasury officials said, had been under
investigation and disproved. They in
cluded the assertion that clique
swayed the actions of the Treasury de-
partment and that j. w. McCarter,

larged prepare a final report covering

-HE smoldering embers of the bu-
reau of engraving controversy,
which first blaZed up two years
ago with wholesale dismissal
of employees by President Harding,
has again been famed into flames.
Charles b. Brewer, Department of
Justice attorney, who investigated
charges of duplication of government
securities brought the case into the
open with the filing of sensational
charges against the treasury, and, de
spite denials by Secretary Mellon and
other officials that Brewers allega-
tions contained merit, Representative
La Guardia (Rep., n. W began steps
by introducing resolution to force a
congressional inquiry.
The charges OF Brewer were con-
tanned in a copy of a report he had
sent previously to President Coolidge
and Attorney General Daugherty, and
ere made public when they were at
kAched as exhibits to an injunction
suit filed here against government of
Hcials whom Brewer said were inter-

at all times. In this manner the canal
would be made safe in peace and war,
he argues. No accidental sinking of
vessel could then obstruct the navlga-
ton of the canal, and no damage to
the locks could put it out of commits
sion for sufficient time to interfere
with commercial traffic or to prevent
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets from
joining.
The probable need of such an en-
larged canal is brought out by the rate
of traffic increase during the last
decade To the pertinent question,
How much will the new canal cost
and who will pay for it? the French
engineer makes this answer: He esti-
mates the total cost, spread over
period of 20 years, to be about $1,000
100000. 1t will be needed only in in
stallments. They can be raised with
out any cost to the taxpayer, inasmuch
as the canal already has a surplus of
earnings, which will increase with the
increasing tonnage. During the last
year 1t earned about $S,000000 over
and above the costs of operation and
the interest on the outstanding bonds
This is enough to pay interest on a
loan of S200,O00000. With the reve-
nues from each additional 100000
tons increase in traffic, he estimates, it
will be possible to meet the interest
on an extra S100,0O0,O00 of bonds for
the carrying on of the work of deepen
ing and widening the canal.

CAPTAINS OF
ADVENTURE
BY ROGER POCOCK

Walker to keep his communication
open with the sea while he held his
capital. Granada, the most beautiful
of all Central American cities, must
be abandoned, and, lest the enemy win
the place, 1t must be destroyed. So
Walker withdrew his sick men to an
island in the big Lake Nicaragua;
while Henningsen an Englishman, his
second in command, burned ana aban-
doned the capital.
But now, while the city burst into
flames, and the smoke went up as from
volcano, the American garrison broke
loose, rifled the liquor stores and lay
drunk in the blazing streets, so the al
lied army swooped down, cutting off
the retreat to the lake. Henningsen, vet
eran of the Carlist and Hungarian re-
volts, knight errant of lost causes,
took three weeks to fight his way three
miles, before Walker could cover his
embarkment on the lake. There had
been four hundred men in the garrison,
but only one hundred and fifty an
swered the roll call In their refuge on
the Isle of Omotepe. In the plaza OF
the capital city they had planted a
spear, ana on the spear hung raw
hide with this inscription:
Here was Granada ]!
In taking that heap OF blackened
ruins four thousand out of six thousand
of the allies persisted; but even they
were more fortunate than a Costa
Rican army of invasion, which killed
nifty OF the tllbusters, at a cost OF ten
thousand men slain by war and pesti-
lence. 1t always worked out that the
killing of one filibuster cost on the
average eight of his adversaries.
-Four months followed of confused
fighting, In which the Americans slow
ly lost ground, until at last they were
besieged in the town of Rivas, melting
the church bells for cannon balls, dy-
ing at their posts of starvation. The
neighboring town of San Jorge was
held by two thousand Costa Ricans,
and these Walker attempted to dis
lodge. His final charge was made with
fifteen men into the heart of the town.
No valor could win against such odds,
and the orderly retreat began on Rlvas.
Two hundred men lay in ambush to
take Walker at planters house by
the wayside, and as he rode YEARLY at
the head of his men they opened fire
from cover at q range of fifteen yards.
Walker refined in his horse, fired six
revolver shots into the windows then
rode on quietly erect while the storm
of lead ragged about him, and saddle
after saddle was emptied. week af-
forward the allies assaulted RiyaS, but
left six hundred men dead in the field,
so terrific was the fire from the ram
parts.
1t was in these days that British
naval officer came under flag of truce
from the coast to treat for Walkers
surrender.
