WIDE SEEKS
RECORD

Edwin Wide, Of Sweden, having
failed to gain his indoor objective,
the lowering of the mile record of
4:12. held Jointly by Joie w. Ray ana
Paayo Nurrni, has turned his atten.
ton to the outdoor mark OF 4:10 2-5,
held by the great Paavo.
Wide II q stickler for punishment.
One must hand him that. He made
several attempts, each q valiant one,
to lower the indoor mark. After each
failure he came on for more punish
ruent. His latest effort was q AIS
affair. Wide did better against Lloyd
Hahn on March II. He covered the
distance on that evening in Az As.
So blase have the followers Of track
become. however, that nothing short
Of 4:1S mile gives them a thrill
The first indoor mile covered under
4:1s was made by the late John w.
overton, former Yale University star,
In an indoor mile special at Cohver.
ton Hall, Philadelphia, in 416. This
happened ~ years ago. Since that
day, or night, to be more specific,
the figures have been lowered re.
peatedly.
Americas star nailers gradually
pared the figures down to 4:14,
indoors. Then along came Paavo
Nurrni in 1925. and on HIS first
American appearance he clipped a
fifth Of second off the mark.
Lloyd Hahn Clipped q fifth Of q
second OFF Uurmi's mark.
Early in March, 1925. Nur1ni jour-
neyed to Buffalo. and while there
ran q mile in 4:l2. This looked
mighty fine until Joie Ray reeled
off q mile in exactly the same fig
ures.
All this record smashing took
place during the winter OF 1925.

Wide arrived in this country
about IL weeks ago and soon the
mile record bee was stirring itself
in the Swedish runners bonnet.
In order to provide real competi-
ton for Wide, Lloyd Hahn and
several other nilers of class were
invited to match strides with him.
They did, and one of them, Lloyd
Hahn, defeated Wide in 4:121-5.

Now, through Washington PIGGY
Wiggly Stores, Uncle Sam offers you a
new service.
PIGGY Wiggly Stores offer you Christ
mas turkeys which have been inspected by
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics OF
the United States Department of Agrlcul-
ture. AT our warehouse where all turkey
purchases are first received the Depart
ment of Agriculture has detailed lnspec-
tors to look over each and every turkey
which is to be offered in our stores.
Perhaps little explanation OF what
this means to purchaser Of a Christmas
turkey can be best given by referring
YOU to the facsimile OF the official stamp
which will be placed on every turkey
which passes their official inspection of
"PRIME" Secondly, to the wing of each
turkey will be attached a tag by the inspec-
tor stating that the turkey has been graded
by an official poultry grader, and that the
quality and grade of said turkey will be
found stamped on its back and on the other
side of said tag.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-12-22

This service rendered by Uncle Sam is
an assurance of perfect satisfaction when
buying turkey thus officially stamped.
OF course, it should be borne in mind that
a fresh turkey is perishable product and
should be given the same care, after 1T
leaves our store and before it is cooked,
that we give it before we sell it to you.
We suggest that you Immediately get
in touch with our nearest PIGGY W1ggly
and place your order for one OF these
officially graded turkeys, thus assuring
yourself of a perfect Christmas turkey
dinner.
We have included elsewhere a deflni-
ton of TT. S. PRIME GRADE TUR-
KEY" as given to us by representative
of the Department of Agriculture.
Remember, of course, that every turkey
we sell is absolutely guaranteed by us to
give YOU satisfaction, and remember. of
course, the first buyers have the best
choice of the largest assortment.

'UNLOADED' GUN
WOUNDS MAN

Shot yesterday by a 12.year-old
girl. who did not know that the
pistol was loaded, Bernard Brown,
80 years old. 1923 A st. s. E.. is
recovering today in Garfield Hos
pitaI.
Brown, helper on an ice cream
wagon, was injured when, while
packing a freezer in the deIica-
lessen store of George Hillow, 1000
Seventeenth st. N. W., Margaret
Hillow, daughter Of the proprietor,
drew revolver from a closet,
levelled it at the man and ordered
him to hold up his hands.
AT first, treating the matter as
the joke it was intended to be,
Brown merely laughed. Then he
noticed that the pistol was loaded
and called a warning to the child.
He was too late, however, as she
pulled the trigger and the bullet
pierced Browns cheek, broke off
two teeth and lodged in his neck.
Brown was taken to Garfield Hos.
pital by Hillow and John Grimes,
116 North Carolina Ave. 8. E.,
driver of the truck. The child was
questioned at the House of Deten-
ton and released after Brown veri.
fled the statement that the shoot
ing was accidental.
Hillow told police that the little
girl and Brown were the best of
friends and that the pistol had been
unloaded until recently. when he
loaned it to q friend who returned

With a pair of forceps with which

/. The proposed new treaty to
supplement the washington
Treaty should be conterminous
with it and contain provisions for
extension or modification similar
to those of the Washington
Treaty. It might be desirable to
provide for the possibility OF re-
consideration. in the event that
the requirements of national Sc
curity of any contracting power
in respect of naval defense are,
in the opinion of that power, ma
teriaIly affected by any change
of circumstances.
2. Provisions for the limitation
of auxiliary naval armament
should be by classes of vessels
as follows:
(aD The cruiser class:
(b) The destroyer class;
(cl The submarine class;
Id An exempt class not sub
ject to a limitation.
8. Limitation by total tonnage
in each of the several classes
should be modified a. necessary
to- provide for transition from
the staus quo to the final ton
nages in each Of the several
classes.
4. The United States. while sug-
costing tonnage limitations at
various classes, will accept as low
a total tonnage limitation in each
OF the several classes of auxiliary
vessels. on the basis of the prin-
ciples of the Washington treaty
ratio as the British Empire and
Japan will accept.
Definitions
The Cruiser Class-Shall include
all surface, naval combatant YES
sells which are of standard dis
placement of more than 5000 tons
and not exceeding 10000 tons and
not carrying guns exceeding eight
inches in caliber.
The destroyer Class-Sha1l IN
clude all surface, naval combatant
vessels, OF standard displacement
of 500 tons and not more than
5000 tons, which have designated
speed greater than II knots.
The Submarine Class-Shall In
clude all vessels designed to oper-
ate below the surface of the sea.
An Unrestricted Classic in
cIude vessels of limited combatant
value. The technical definition of
vessels to fall within such a class
should be the subject of future
agreement.
Replacement
The age limit for replacement
in the several classes will be as
follows:
/. Cruisers. 20 years.
2. Destroyers. Is to II years.
3. Submarines, IL to IS years.
Tonnage Limitation
Proposals for tonnage limitation
by classes.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1927-06-20

Cruiser classes:
For the United States, 250, 900
to 100000 tons.
For the British Empire, $780,.
600 to 800. 900 tons.
For Japan, 10000 to 10000
tons.
Detroyer classes:
For the United States, 200 900
to 100000 tons.
For the British Empire, 200 900
to 100000 tons.
For Japan, 10000 to 15O, 900
tons.
Submarine class:
For the United States, so 900
to 10000 tons.
For the British Empire, SO, 900
to 10000.
For Japan, $4,000 to $4,000 tons.
In order to provide for the
transition from the status quo
to the proposed difinitive tonnage
limitation in the cruiser and
destroyer classes, it is suggested
that during trasition period exist
ing cruiser and destroyer tonnage
be considered together and that
the tonnage. to be scrapped be the
excess over the combined cruisr
and destroyer tonnage limita-
lions. Replacement in each class
should. however. only be permit
ted within the allowed maximum
tonnage of that class. AS APP
piled to cruisers ON the basis of
a total tonnage of 900, 900 tons
and to destroyers on the basis of
a total tonnage of $50, 900 tons,
the proposal would work out as
indicated below.
Limits Specified
A. The total combined tonnage
of both cruiser and destroyer
classes of vessels of all ages
shall not exceed at any time:
For the United States, $4,000
tons. .- -.+.
For the British Empire, 5000
tons.
For Japan. 100000 tons.
B, The total tonnage of the
cruiser class, less than 20 years
OlQ lTOH1 udlS Oh cOtHpi6LlONs
shall not be augmented SO as to
exceed:
The United States, SOC, 900 tons.
The British Empire, 800, 900
tons.
'- Japan, $50, 900 tons.
c. The total tonnage of the
destroyer class, less than Is
years old from date of compile
ton, shall not be augmented so
as to exceed:
The United States, 250, 900 tons.
The British Empire, 100000
tons.
Japan, 10000 tons.
D. Ali excess in the allowed
combined tonnages of vessels Of
the cruiser and destroyer classes
now existing shall be scrapped.
The choice of vessels to be
