POWER BILL IS

PETWORTH.
Citizens Association Also Go
on Record for Better Pay
for Teachers.

A resolution indorsing the Norris
Zihlman bill for the development of
Great Falls water power was
speedily adopted last night at a
regular meeting of the Petworth
Citizens Association.
Other resolutions supporting
measures now before Congress in
regard to District betterment also
were adopted. Prominent among
them was one favoring increased
compensation for teachers in the
public schools.
1t appeared to be the consensus
of the members, in discussing the
proposed increase in bus fare from
cents to 10 cents, that they would
rather meet it than lose bus service.
Timothy L. Tincher presided.
Representatives of the association
will attend the public hearings on
the proposed bus increase to be
held by the public utilities commits

PANAMA
Zone Cities Are Very Wet with
Plenty Of Other Diversions
for the Men.

COLON, Panama, Feb. 20.-While
the soldier in Panama has. like
everyone else, his little trials and
tribulations, his life. generally
speaking, is a happy one, and most
of Uncle Sans 5000 men in the
Zone are cheerful and contented.
There is life in Panama, if one
goes in for that sort of thing. The
two principal cities-Colon and
Panama-have plenty of night life
to which, m. P.'s' notwithstand-
ing, the soldier has. access If he
Both of these cities are wet; very.
very wet.
Soldiers walking the streets, and
likewise civilians, naturally. are
confronted with such signs as Gold
Beer" Bar" Drinks of all kinds
hard and soft" In both cities
there are redlight districts that
would put the notorious Barbary
Coast Of San Francisco to shame.
Soldiers and sailors are not al
lowed inside the district, but now
and then-sometimes oftener-they
are caught within the restricted
zone. Sometimes, instead of taking
a chance of the IN. P.'s" catching
them in Colon or Panama they go
to Catival. a native village, where
there are no military police. Occa-
sionally the IN. P.'s" conduct raids
on this village.
: in Colon and Panama City there
are many allnight cabarets featur-
ing jazz and tropical dancing in
palm-bedecked bathrooms, with drinks
served between dances. If the night
ly crowds mean anything they do
tremendous business. One
cabaret in Colon features what is
claimed to be an aggregation Of
former New York chorus girls.
Baseball League In Zone.
But there are numerous other
more wholesome amusements. Colon,
for example, has two good motion
picture theaters and a magnificent
Y. NJ. C. A, which is largely pa
tornized. There is also a baseball
league in the Zone.
The boys do not have to do much
drilling, because Of the extreme heat
during the day most of the time
Mosquitoes operate with spiteful
aggressiveness in the swampy parts
of the Zone, at such places as the
France Flying Field, Coco Solo
Naval Base and at Fort Randolph.
Danger from disease has been
done away with to a large extent.
What was once a very insanitary
place has been greatly improved
by the enterprise and industry Of
Uncle Sam. In 1904, when the
United States went into Panama,
yellow fever was epidemic and
there were frequent outbreaks Of
bubonic plague cholera and SMALL
pox, and the entire population was
debilitated by malaria.
Today all these diseases are
stamped out except malaria, and
our soldiers, generally speaking, are
leading a happy, healthful life, and
most of them are quite contented.

for India to Take
Tigers Alive

LONDON, Feb. 20.--Mrs. Err
nest Thompson Seton, wife of
the naturalist and writer, has
just left London, where she has
been visiting, for a tiger hunt
ing expedition in India. Her
ambition for the trip is to cap
ture at least one Bengal tiger
alive and to kill another single
handed, and she is confident
that she will succeed. On pre-
vious expeditions she has had
five narrow escapes from death,
which have failed to dampen
her ardor.
Mrs. Seton has country
home in Greenwich, Conn, which
she calls De Winton, and also
is q resident Of New York. Be-
fore she married Mr.. Seton she
was Grace Gallatin, member
Of an old New York family.
Since her marriage she has
made many trips into tropical
iungles and other out of the way
places with her husband.

SALES Of
HOMES
House Committee Is So Told
BY Witnesses-More Data
Obtained at Hearing.

The rent act actually has in
creased rather than decreased the
sale Of houses in Washington, the
special rent act subcommittee Of
the House District committee was
told last night by John A. Petty,
executive secretary of the Wash
ington Real Estate Board.
Petty, however, opposed con.
tinuation Of the act after it's ex-
piration in May, declaring that it
is economically unSOund." He
denied there is a real estate ring"
in the District, existence of which
has been charged Abefore the COM
mittee.
Washington real estate dealers,
he said, have not been deeply
affected by the Rent Commission,
and have therefore taken no action
as body with regard to continue
ton of the act. He explained that
he expressed only his personal views
in opposing the act.
John F. Bowie, vice president Of
the H. L. Rust Company, realtors,
again took the stand. He testified
that there are not a sufficient
number of complaints reaching the
Rent Commission to justify its
further existence. He was refuted
in this statement by Chairman
Whaley, who declared that between
ninety-five and lis complaints are
received each month.
Joseph G. Bowling, vice president
of the B. F. Saul Company, told
the committee that his company
had forty vacant apartments, rang
ing from $40 to 500 q month. %
He admitted when questioned that
only one of the forty rented for
$40 and only four for $50.
A resolution urging extension of
the act was received from the
Journeymen BookbinderS Union and
read into the record.

Does 1t pay 10 use a purebred ram

to the agricultural editor.
"In the fall OF 1922 a certain man
in this State bought sixteen grade
ewes and a grade ram. This man
being a good feeder and caretaker
raised in the year 1922, % lambs,
which sold in the fall for $4,000.
I'm the fall Of 1923 this man came
to my place and wanted to know ii
it would pay him to give me $25 for
a purebred Hampshire ram lamb to
cross with his grade ewes. told
him II certainly would. aud he bought
the lamb and took him home.
I'm the year 1924 this man raised
30 lambs which sold that fall for $500
or S24 more than the scrub lambs
brought and which only came $l.O0
short of paying for the purebred ram
lamb. This came about by the in
crease in weight and better quality of
the lambs.
