MONSTER WITH 400
 TEETH IN NEW FILM

|
 1 Dentists would go out of business if humans were built along the plan of the trachodon, one of the species of prehistoric dinosaur which, after a death sleep of 1O,OOo,oOo years, comes to life in "The Lost World" showing at the Liberty theater tonight. When trachodon wore out tooth, it was replaced by another. He had a reserve supply of something like 400 teeth in the lower jaw alone. "This system may have had it's ad- vantages, but, on the other hand, what an opportunity for the toothache!" said Bessie Love, who in the photo play is almost devoured by a hungry dinosaur. Lewis Stone and Lloyd Hughes are rivals for her affections and she marries the man who saves her from becoming a dinosaurs din-i ner.

Police Dog Knocks

Late yesterday afternoon, police
reported that Mrs. Martha Bartle,

down by a police dog in front or
her home, sustaining a sprained
ankle.

knocking her down. and then being
frightened off by some heroic
rescuer. So telephones got busy.
The result was this:
Policeman Beal of the, eighth
precinct obtained details of the
affair which showed that the police
dog, typically pictured as a master
full and courageous animal was
strolling quietly up Eighteenth
street. when a little boy with a
quiet-looking collie in leash hove
in view.
The collie barked!
Tail between his egs, the police
dog scurried away. In his flight
he struck against Mrs. Bartle,
knocking her down, with the result
that her ankle was sprained, and
kept on fleeing. Owners Of the
collie and Of the police dog were.

instituted in order that the youth, in
stead of falling under the domination
of habits and actions that lead only
to destruction, may come under the
discipline of a training that leads to
eternal life. They learn that they
secure freedom and prosperity by
observing the law.
This is but one of the many or
ganizati tions that are working for good
in our country. Some of them have a
racial basis, some a denominational
basis. All of them in their essence
are patriotic and religious. Their
steady growth and widening influence
go very far to justify our faith in
the abiding fitness of things.
we cannot deny that there are
evil forces all about us, but a critical
examination of what is going on in
the world cannot fail to justify the
belief that wherever these powers of
evil may be located, however great
may be their apparent extent. they
are not realistic. and somewhere there
is developing an even greater power
of good by which they will be over
come.

strength of right living. We need a
greater faith in the power of
Righteousness. These are the reali.
ties which do not pass away
Tribute to StOrrow.
Sir Robert paid high tribute to the
late James J. Storrow, president of
the Scout National Council. who died
in New York recently. The influence
of his work with the Scout movement
will never be lost, he said.
StOrrow, the speaker added. had
visions of spreading the true founda-
| tions of peace and good will between
| nations through the medium of
world wide brotherhood of Boy Scouts
and Girl Guides.
| "Such foundation Sir Robert point
| ed out, Lies not in treaties or leagues.
| not in disarmament of commercial re-
| lations, but in the formation of a new
| spirit out of which these will grow
| that is, the spirit Of mutual good Will
| through mutual understanding, sym
pathy and friendship.
THE World War brought the Eng
| lish-speaking manhood into a COM
radeship sealed by its blood and COM
mon sacrifice. Can we not continue
| that comradeship in the next genera
ton through improved mutual knowl-
edge and friendship? We have already
made no mean beginning in that di-
rection.

"The public welfare, success, and
prosperity of the Nation will depend
upon the proper coordination of all
these various efforts. and upon each
Loyalty performing the service under
taken. 1t will no longer do for those
who have assumed the obligation to
society of carrying on these different
functions to say that as a body they
are absolutely free and independent
and responsible to no one but them
selves.
1.-THE public interest is greater than
the interest of any one of these
groups. and 1t Is absolutely necessary
that this interest be made supreme.
But there is just as great a necessity
on the part Of the public to see that
each of these groups is justly treated.

will be thrown into chaos. On each
one Of us rests a moral obligation to
do our share of the worlds work. We
have no right to refuse.
1.-The training Of the Boy Scouts fits
them to an early realization of this
great principle and adapts them in
habits and thoughts and life to it's
observances. We know too well what
fortune overtakes those who attempt
to live in opposition to these stand
ards. They become at once rightftlly

Camps were pitched, cabins were
built, Indians were chased, human
pyramids were formed. fires were
lighted by friction, a long bridge was
erected, towers were put up and torn
down, walls were scaled, sparS were
Iashcd and neckerchiefs were demon
strated.
More than 500 Washington Scouts
joined in the fun. They erected
towers, rescued comrades from an ice
infested lake" and rendered first aid
where necessary.
Baltimore Scouts erected the bridge
in seven minutes or 50. to say moth

BILL ASKS PURCHASE
OF PATTERSON TRACT
Bloom Introduces Measure to Have
Playground Site in North
east Bought.

A bill authorizing the District Com
missioners to purchase the Patterson
tract at Second street and Florida
avenue northeast as an addition to
the park system of the National Capt.
tai has been introduced into the House
by Representative Bloom. Republican,
of New York. This tract, which COM
prises 81 acres. has long teen sought
by the citizens Of the District as a
park area and has been urged as a
park by the Northeast Citizens Asso-
citation many years.
The Commissioners, under the
terms of the bill. are authorizea to
purchase the property. providing the
cost does not exceed 100000. Any
uneXpended balance Of the District
surplus fund is. by the terms of the
bill. to be used for the purchase. and
the balance needed is authorized to be
raised from the funds of the District
and the United States Treasury, in
the same proportion as the eXpendi-
lures are now made.
The proposed parkway was included
in the Park Commission plan of 1901.
The acquisition of this site has been
repeatedly urged by the Commission
ers, the Board of Trade. the Chamber
of Commerce. the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations and other leadin&
civic organizations. In 1921, a pro-
vision for the acquisition of this
property was passed by the Senate
but failed to become law.
The necessity Of providing park and
playground space for the children of
the northeast, who cannot get to the
parks in other sections of the city, is
stressed by the author Of the bill. as
we'll as the necessity Of extending and
beautifying the park system of the
National Capital.
The upper half of the Patterson tract
is well elevated, overlooking the city
and the river. and is covered by fine
trees. In the center of the site is a
large swimming pool used when Camp
Megs was located there during the
World War. The southern half OF
the proposed part area is almost level
and. according to those interested, is
much needed by the students of
schools nearby as a place for play
grounds, base ball diamonds, athletic
fields and military drill grounds.

Great Field Cultivated.
On January ]. 1926, there was an
enrolment of nearly 100000 boys, di-
rected by 10000 volunteer leaders
and divided among $4,000 troops. Such
is the field that has been cultivated.
The great need now is for more lead
ers, inspired for service and properly
equipped to carry out the program.
1t is estimated that 100000 addi-
tional boys could be enrolled immedi-
ately if adequate leadership could be
provided. We cannot do too much
honor to the 100000 men who in the
past 16 years have given freely of
their time and energy as Scout mas
ters and assistant Scout masters.
Such service is service to God and to
country. The efforts to get more de-
voted volunteers and to find and train
those fitted and willing to make this
their life work is worthy OF the most
complete success.
Because the principles of this move.
ment are affirmative, L believe they
are sound. The boy may not be
merely passive in his allegiance to
Righteousness. He must be an active
force in his home, his church, and his
community. Too few people have
clear realization of the real purposes
Of the Boy. Scouts. In the popular
mind the program is arranged for
play. for recreation. is designed solely
to utilize the spare time of the boy
in such a way that he may develop
physically while engaged In pleasur'
able pursuits. This is but a faint con-
cenfion one almost wholly misleading,
