applied for admission to the Citi-
zens Military Training Camp in the
New York Corps Area. Free Eaas-
por' alton to the camp is provided N
the regulations.
Colonel Fleet stated the facts
buu.ly but politely, and in so doing
furnished the best kind of political
ammunition in the approaching
presidential campaign. He announced
than cOlored applicants were barred
in the New York area on account Of
color and that if he desired to enter

secure the raining to which he is
entitled in he area of New York.

There is no doubt, but what the
order barring colored applicants
will be rescinded. The colored ap-
plicants may be segregated upon an
eauali'y basis when the number
aSgregating fifty persons is secured,
but at present the cOlored citizens
mus. be admitted along with all
other citizens, regardless OF race
color or previous condition of serv

The combination of the Christian
sabbath Of joy, Palm Sunday, and
smiling. summery skies-the latter
entirely unexpected in view Of
threatening weather reports-inspired
most of Washington's citiZenry to
venture forth in gayest Spring attire
yesterday, en- route to special re-
ligious services or q days outing in
the parks or on the boulevards.
While thousands worshiped at
churches, thousands of others piled
into automobiles later in the day and
succeeded in congesting the principal
driveways in and out of the Capital
This coagulation of cars made itself
manifest not alone in the public park
ways along the Potomac and scenic
Rock Creek, but assumed serious
proportions on such highways as the
Baltimore Boulevard, the Lee High
way, the Frederick road and other
interstate traffic arteries.
VehicuIar Traffic in Jam.
Vehicular traffic between this city
and Baltimore was delayed for periods
as long as half an hour as a result
of the jam which developed between
Bladensburg and Cottage City. The
congestion here was due to the con-
vergence of long lines of cars from
Rhode Island avenue and from the
Defense Highway. There appeared
to be no officer in evidence at the
height Of the jam in midafternoon.
The churches were thronged with
worshipers and the congregations

DOG MEAT VENDORS.
Berlin Street Merchants" Turn to
New Wares.

BERLIN, April II LE).-New occu-
pational stunts" are continually
being sprung in Berlin because of
the many unemployed seeking re-
munerative activity.
The latest is the vendor Of dog meat
mot the flesh of the canine, but meat
for the family dog. Such a peddler
has been wheeling his cart through
the streets Of thickly populated Ber-
lin sections, with a big sign proclaim
ing the character Of his business and
the merits Of his goods for the purpose
intended.
Naturally, the cuts are not of prime
quality, but critical buyers with fas-
tidious pets are not numerous in the
districts traversed, and the rather
lively business done by this pioneer
seems likely to produce competition.

FAIRFAX, Va, April 1l.--An in
junction temporarily enjoining the
Fairfax County supervisors from as
sessing or collecting any county or
district road taxes on real or personal
property within the corporate limits
of Falls Church for paying interest
on the bonded Indebtedness of $262, 900
in Falls Church magisterial district,
was signed this morning by Judge
Howard w. Smith of Alexandria, and
recorded here. The Indebtedness is
on Columbia Pike and the Annandale-
to-Falls Church road.
The injunction is to continue until
May II, unless enlarged or dissolved.
Falls Church was required to give
bond Of $500. The bill of complaint
charges that Falls Church town con-
stitutes a separate road district and
that the levying Of taxes on these
bonds would constitute an impairment
OF the credit of the town and tend to
destroy its taxable resources.
L. =. Daniel Of Falls Church is

Ter sheep, produced through gland
grating, may meet a world shortage
Of wool, in the belief of DR.. Serge
Voronoff, who offers man longer life
through application Of his methods
DR.. Voronoff has been experiment
ing with sheep in Algeria. He claims
that grated animals increased 25 per
cent in weight and 20 per cent in wool
production. Descendants inherited
the increase, and the surgeon de-
clares that experiments in grating
the descendants forecast a bigger and
woolier race Of sheep. The world
needs 20 per cent more wool than it
now produces, according to DR.. Voro-
noff, and he believes a race Of sheep
can be produced to make up the diff
ference.
