Mascots of the motoring fraternity
are rather commonplace nowadays
among the gaSoline-power caravans
which speckle this country with
travellers from May to November. One
visitor at the East Potomac Park
camp, Mrs. j. E. Moon, from Miami,
Fla, is owner of pair of beautiful
police dogs, Waska Moon and Princess
Wolfe. These specimens of canine
aristocracy were enjoying the motor
tour as thoroughly as were the men,
bers of the Moon family.
A lady from Missouri who spent sew
eral days at the camp brought along
her pet parrot for the trip over the
National Pike. Polly spent her eve.
nings at the community auditorium at
the Washington camp. Being a very
polite bird, Polly cried "Good-by" to
everybody who "broke camp" and
We'd with the radio loud speaker as
the dominant conversationalist.
For several evenings recently the
tenters were entertained by the edu-
Gated antics of a tame monkey which
a motorist from Maine carried as his
companion on his countrywide tours.
Another New Englander. returning
from Florida, was a center of interest
because of the 2-foot alligator which
he was taking home with him to train
as a pet. The juvenile saurian was
the prime favorite of the camp city"
children during his sojourn.
Dogs, cats and canary birds are
numbered among the unregistered
guests who recently have stayed at
the Washington camp. When it comes
time to take the vacation trip many
American families revolt against
boarding Rover. Fido or Kitty at some
animal hotel. Hence they bring along
the pets. Dogs and cats, in particular,
love to ride the broad highway and
the city streets in the modern vehicles
of their masters.

lor. who had been held prisoners for
ransom by kidnapping gang, were
released at am. today, according

at the point of a pistol one of Schar-
Inns friends was forced by the con-
spirators to telephone and make an
appointment with him. When Schar-
lin left the Seventy street
apartment house, where he lives with
his wife, he was seized and taken to
a house, the address of which has not
been disclosed. The police did not say
whether they know where this house
is located.
Motor Cycle Patrolman Richard
O'Connor, who shot Marcus, was to-
day promoted to be a secOnd-grade
detective by Police Commissioner

No explanation was made by police
as to how Taylor was kidnapped. He

announced that its action should not
be construed as an act of hostility to
