SPEED record was set by Baker
himself in 1920, and was never
bettered until Baker did it this
time with the Ford. Bakers new
record is likewise 16 hours bet
ter than the best motor cycle rec

To remove all question wheth-
er he drove all the way in high
gear, the low and reverse gears
were removed from the car be-
fore the start and the transmits
sion was sealed in a fashion that
made it impossible to replace the
gears without breaking the seal.
On Bakers arrival in Los An
geles, the seals were inspected by
Joe Nikrent, famous racing driv-
err and automotive expert and
found intact.

as sports are concerned.
Salmon, injured in an auto ac-
cident last Sunday night, when
his car turned over on the Phoe-
nix-Tucson highway, just north
of Florence, is suffering from an
injured spine, and is seriously in
jured. An operation performed
to remove hemorrhage, which
was pressing on the spinal cord,
may result in his being able to
walk, but his return to the play
ing field of college sports is an
impossfbility.
For three years the popular
red-headed lad from Bisbee has
flared across the sport horizon az
the University of Arizona. His
short, stocky form was known on
the baseball field, where, alter
mating with Art Pacheco, he filled

ported that he had no trouble
with any of the accessories on the
entire trip-not even a spark
plug was changed, throughout the
long grind.
This run attracted nationwide
attention among Ford owners be-
cause this is the first time Ford
has taken part in long-distance
record performance since the days
when Henry Ford built the IA
nous Ford racing giant that was
driven by Barney Oldfield on the
siate-far tracks of the country.
This is the first ocean-to-ocean
record ever made with a Ford
car sealed in high gear, and the
fact that it smashes a mark es-
tablished by car of the six
cylinder class makes it all the
more sensational.

DC. BOND ISSUE
IS URGED

A $1O0,000,000 bond issue for
financing District construction pro
grams was advocated today by Mar
tin A Leese, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, before the special
House District subcommittee.
Mr.. Leese advocated the bond
issue for completion of the five-year
public building and school program,
for the purchase Of park and play
ground sites, completion of neces-
sary paving projects, and other mu-
nicipal expenses.
He told the committee that a bond
issue is the only equitable means
of raising funds for large projects
in the National Capital under the
present system Of fiscal relations nip
between the Federal and District
governments.
Asks Vote for District
He urged that the committee
recommend to Congress a readjust-
ment Of the fiscal relationship plan
and that the District be given rep
resentatiOn in Congress and the
right of local suffrage.
The Chamber of Commerce well
comes a sweeping investigation Of
District affairs, Mr.. Leese said.
1.-THE chamber members feel that
there are many weaknesses of the
present form OF government and
that residents Of the District are
not given the rights to which
they are entitled as American cit
izens," he said.
He advocated passage OF the bill
10 increase the powers of the Dis
trict Commissioners. This bill
failed in the last session of Con-
gress.
The Commissioners must go to
Congress for powers which any
executive should have in order to

BUILDING MOVE
IS DUE SOON

Important developments in the
public buildings program are due
this week, with the Fine Arts Com
mission and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
scheduled to meet.
The Fine Arts Commission al
ready has gone on record as favor
ing the site between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Streets, south of Pennsyl-
Vania Avenue, for the new home OF
the Commerce Department. 1t has
the problem of utilizing Center
Market in Mall development be-
fore 1t.
In some quarters 1t is felt that
the commission will recommend that
the market site be reserved for a
building, with the Department of
Justice taking over the present Dis
trict structure.
This recommendation would be
based on the prospect that an addi-
ton or annex to the present mu-
nicipal building would have to be
made unless a change is decided
upon.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission will receive a
report from it's co.ordinating COM
mittee regarding the future site of
the Farmers and Center Market.
The latter group, 1t is reported,
favors the midcity location.

We are blessed with Mothers love.
And as we sail the path of years
To the portals of our wrath,
We end our span with smiles or tears
In proportion to our faith.

In the world and its ideals.
Brings earthly peace, like NOah's dove.
And future hope reveals.
