paratory to leading Barney, Gene and
Tom away he turned to Commissioner
Fenning and Chief Watson with this
promise:
Mr.. Commissioner and Chief Wat.
son: We accept the trust reposed in
us by you and the thousands Of ad-
mirers and lovers Of this wonderful
trio of horses. We have afforded
refuge to many an old fellow, both
man and horse, who had been buffeted
by old age and adverse circumstances.
You may rest assured that these
faithful veterans, like many of their
predecessors, will find a haven in the
green fields and shady pastures be.
side the Potomac at Blue Plains.
They will work, but they will only
do invigorating, health giving work
the kind that gives zest to an appetite
for four quarts Of oats and an abandon
to roll in green fields after the tasks
are done. We already have horses
some Of them former fire horses
which are SO full Of the Joy Of living
that they have to be led from the
fields at night to keep them from
the clover too long for their own good.
I'VE pledge ourselves to a loving
care of these favorites Of the people,
now committed to our keeping, and
promise each one Of them conditions
favorable to a happy and ripe old
age"
Thus Barney, Gene and Tom went
to their rest from hard service. They
were not hitched to some farm wagon
and driven OF to Blue Plains, but
grooms walked every step Of the six
or seven miles beside them. each still
wearing its garland Of roses, So that

TIDAL BASIN BEACH
BELIEVED DOOMED
Opposition by Madden Con-
sidered to Have Barred Any
Plan for Reopening.

There seems to be little prospect
that the Tidal Basin bathing beach
will be reopened to the public this
Summer if the statement from Repre-
sentative Madden, chairman of the
House appropriations committee, is to
be taken as final.
Representative Madden in a tele-
gram to Representative Blanton said
that he was not in favor of the law as
passed, but now that it is law. he
would not sanction it's violation. A
copy of this telegram. together with a
lengthy letter, was received in the Of
fee Of public buildings and public
parks today, but in the absence of Col
Sheriff., director of the bureau, who g
at Warrenton. Va, officials would not
make any comment on the matter.
Col. Sheriff. is handling this matter
personally in his Office. and it is
known by those close to him that,
while he is in favor of opening the
beaches. he is not inclined to take
steps in this direction unless he could
get the unofficial sanction of Repre-
sentative Madden and other members
of Congress.
Officials in the public buildings and
public parks office. though they
would not discuss the matter off,
cially for publication, gave 1t as their
opinion that the telegram from Mr..
Madden ends the matter for this
Summer unless there Is pressure
brought from some other source
Mr.. Blanton, in transmitting the
telegram from Mr.. Madden to Col
Sheriff., said that he did not believe
that the law, intended to abolish the
Tidal Basin Beach and he indicated
that II the director Of the public build
ings and public parks asks for an
appropriation with which to build
beaches at other places he would
strenuously oppose the proposition.
Representative Blanton said that he
challenged Col Sheriff. and Mr.. Mad.
den to show any law which directs
the former to dismantle the Tidal
Basin Beach.
He said that to appropriate money
for the construction of beaches else.
where would be an absolute waste.
Mr.. Blanton said that the proposal
made by the Citizens Advisory Coun
ell Is fair and sensible in every detail
Under these circumstances, he con
tinued, IL would be simply ridiculous
to let you waste $4,000 disma ntline
the Tidal Basin Beach and then lei
you waste another $4,000 construct
ing other beaches elsewhere that
would be no better.
And Chairman Suter and his citi
zens council" he went on. had bet

engine house in the city and while
Barney, Gene and Tom were racing
out of the door for the last time,
members of the department through
out the District were standing at at
tention out Of respect to the faithful
veterans. A loud cheer went up from
the crowd in front of the engine
house as the three big grays leaped
into their harness.
Many boastful records have been
hung up by modernized motorized
companies during the past few
months, but Barney, Gene and Tom
were not far behind their snorting,
mechanical successors in getting
off," Twenty-Five seconds from the
time the gong sounded until they
were in harness and crossing the

their big hoofs were polished until

had been given a new coat of polish

dragged along had been rehabilitated
for the occasion.
Crowd Gathers Around Horses.
The run covered the prearranged
course, from the engine house at
North Caroline avenue and Sixth
street to Lincoln Park and back. The
horses were stopped for only few
seconds at plug near the park and
then slowly trotted back between lines

their apparatus into it's place and
were unhitched.
AS they were lined up in front of the
house preparatory to being turned
over to Mr.. Fay, the crowd surged
around them eagerly, every one striv-
ing to stroke their names. Barney,
Gene and Tom lived UP to their repu-
tations for gentleness, too, for they
stood clamly accepting each tribute.
It was with difficulty that the police
made room for Commissioner Fen
ming, Chief Watson and Former Chief
Wagner when the moment for turning
the horses over to Mr.. Fay arrived.
Barney, Gene and Tom may have
appreciated the wreaths sent to them
by The Star, but they apparently felt
the flowers would taste better than
they looked. Before former Chief
Wagner knew what was taking place
Barney had gobbled up a goodly
mouthful of the roses and Gene and
Tom were straining their necks for
their share. The wreaths. however
were quickly hung in places where

Co,cs' Horns Just One Freak
Of Electricity Charged Kansas Wind

Sometimes these winds Will
charge the steel frame of a wind
mill with SO much electricity it
will almost knock a man down II
he touches it." he said. THE wind
has been known to electrffy auto
mobiles so the ignition system
would not work, and the cars
would be stalled. Western Kan
sas people have learned to meet
this situation by fastening chains
to their cars and letting the
chains drag, to conduct the cleo
tricfty into the ground.
These winds have been known
to electrify barbed wire fences so
that lights appear on the barbs at
night, resembling rows of lighted
candles. Men have been shocked
severely by touching wire fences
in paths Of these winds.
"One man reported that one
night when he was driving herd Of
cattle in such a wind the tips of
the horns Of the cattle began to
glow with the lights"
Flora's explanation of these phe-
nomena is that the wind gathers
up particles Of dry dust which
are charged with electricity, and
the dust particles transfer the
electricity to the things they are
blown AGAINST

MEXlCO'S AWAKENING

Under the presidency of General Gales, Mexico appears to be making real strides toward a better civiliZa- ton, one of the best evidences of this being the tremendously increas- ed attention now given to education.
 According to a recent statement of high official, the impetus given to the schools by President Obre- gon is being carried forward splen- didly by the present administration.
 Ten years ago there were only 5000 schools in Mexico. Today there are more than 5000 In 1910 MeXi- co spent only million pesas for education. In 1924 educational ap- propriations were 34 million pesos.
 President Gales is stressing eco- nomy in most department fo his gov ernment, but is wisely liberal in his attitude toward the schools of the Republic As a result the official quoted declares that "the future of Mexico is on a very sound founda- tion.'
