new AREA
FOR j. s. FARMS

The problem of relocating the ex-
perimental farms of the Department
Of Agriculture, doomed by the Airing
ton Memorial Bridge program. is
worrying officials of the Department
Of Agriculture.
Tentative plans call for removal
of the farms to the vicinity of Belts
vile. Nd. where the department how
has extensive dairy farm holdings.
Officials also are considering a sug
gestion that the farms be located on
reclaimed land in the upper Ana
costa River section, near Mt. Hamii
ton. This area is to be developed as
a national arboretum, and it is con
sidered desirable to combine the two
activities for administrative reasons.
Whether location of the farms on
the filled-in marsh land will inter
fere with plans for establishment Of
wild-bird sanctuary must be deter
mined.
The matter or relocating the farms
will be put up to Congress this win
ter. so that preliminary work may
begin. It will require at least five
years to develop a new area, it is
estimated. The soil in the Arlington
farms has been developed by more
than five years of concentrated work
and the experiments now being pe--
formed there are regarded as of vast
Importance to agricultural advnace-
ment.

GIRL WE'D ON
FLIP OF Coin

A secret wedding, in which the
name of the bridegroom was deter
mined by the flip of coin, was re-
vealed today for the first time when
it was learned that the former Miss
Carolyn Dennison Wisner, of this
city, had become the bride last
Easter of Phillips Leo Barton, son of
a wealthy power magnate of Port
au Prince, Haiti.
For four months, it is stated. w.
Jackson Turner, now of the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger, but formerly
of the Washington News, has been
dreaU.ng Of the day he would lead
Miss Wisner to the altar himself,
1t now turns out that while Tur.
ner was in Philadelphia plighting his
troth through the mails the former
Miss Wisner has long been Mrs. Bar
ton, although not yet living with her
husband. Miss Wisner's stepfather
is Capt. e. p. McCaulley, u. s. M. c.,
now stationed at Norfolk, Va, but
who lived at 1884 Wyoming Ave.
N. W., while both Turner and Barton
were counting her.
Both men were open rivals for
her hand, it is said, and only her
Intervention prevented a fist-fight on
fashionable Wyoming Ave. one night
between them.

perplexing problem by Tipping q

TRAFFIC COURT
RELIEF SEEN

The District Commissioners to.
day are studying the new plan for
solving police court congestion sub
mitted to them yesterday by the
Bureau Of Efficiency.
The plan is combination of the
traffic violations bureau proposed
by former Assistant Traffic Direc-
tor /. c. Moller and the collateral
forfeiture system proposed more re-
Gently by committee composed Of
Major Edwin B. Heese, superin-
tendent Of police; Assistant Traffic
Director M. o. Eldridge and AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Ring
gold Hart, which was partially
adopted.
It provides for a system Of col
laterals worked out systematically
in accordance with the fines placed
in police court, which may be for
feited by the violator IL he does
not want q hearing in court.
The proposal will eliminate the
necessity of violators or policemen
going to court unless the offender
desires a trial.
Their proposal, the Efficiency Bu.
reau believes, will care for the
majority of traffic arrests because
during 1925 there were $4,000 ar
rests for traffic of which more
than so per cent were for minor
violations,

last minute request by William

GRAFTON of Citizens Associations.
Mr.. Clayton called on Chairman
John w. Childress just before a
meeting of the commission at which
the one-man car program was due
to be approved and asked that final
action be deferred until he could
make statement.
Mr.. Childress agreed to the post
ponement, and told Mr.. Clayton he
would give him chance to make

This move by Mr.. Clayton today

CHAMPION FISHERMAN
 0F WORLD IN SEWARD

W. L. Puyster, of Los Angeles, re- puted to be the worlds champion fisherman, who goes South tomor- row on the s. s. Aleutian, en route home, stopped off at Montana creek for 28 days and, for 2S days, fished
 without let-up with exception of bed time. It is reported the ardent fol- lower of Isaac, remained on the stream every night until midnight, at which hour he had to be dragged away from the bubbling water.
 In his own words he states there is no place in the world that can equal the fishing in Alaska and he is coming back again next June for a stay>>of two or three months.
 MT. Puyster became so excited, it is reported, when he was told of the Ptarmigan creek and Russian river, near Seward, that he could hardly contain himslf. He hoped this morn ing that the Aleutian would be couple of days late in order that he might get shance to unreel his tas- kle in these streams.
