Turtles and Gar
Furnish Thrills
For Speed Boats

Running down garfish and turtles
in their natural element is highly
exhilerating sport for speed boat
drivers, but is decidedly hard on the
boats.
This was demonstrated Wednesday
night when L. Merryman encountered
a gar in the Fort Brown lagoon and
yut his boat, Miss Lockwood, out Of
commission. Robert Sexton in the
Half Pint III had a mix-up with an
inquisitive turtle which did not IN
derstand traffic rules, but aside from
capsizing the boat no damage was
done.
The speed drivers were tuning up
their motors on the Fort Brown la
COON. When Merryman's craft struck
a huge garfish there was a grinding
crash which nearly wrenched the
motor from the boat. The engine
and propeller were badly wrecked
and the garfish, a large one, was a
mangled ruin.
Robert Sexton struck a large turr
tie as he was rounding a sharp turn
az the upper end Of the lagoon at q
speed of about 80 miles an hour. The
Little Half Pint II shot into the all
several feet. "sunfished" and saw,
bucked' and finally capsized. The
damage to the turtle was not ascer.

Valley Tomatoe
Can Be Earlier
Says Brown White

SAN BENIT0, 5.-The Lower Rio
Grande Valley can put tomatoes on
the market many weeks earlier than
at the present time, and would do
SO, but for competition from Mexico,
according to a statement made here
by Brown White upon his return
from Washington.
Mr.. White was one Of the three
Valley men who represented this
section before the tariff commission
in a hearing on a proposed increase
in the duty on Mexican grown to-
matoes.
He said that the Valley could
move its tomato planting season up a
little, and could by fertilizing, in
tensive cultivation and other means
speed up maturity of the crop, in or
der to reach the market earlier. But
az the present time this is not sound,
as Mexico comes on the market
ahead Of the Valley, and this sec
ton must wait until Mexican toma-
toes are mostly all shipped, and the
price down.
As soon as W. f. McDavitt Of
Brownsville, the only delegate 10
Washington who had not returned
Wednesday, reaches the Valley, ar
engagements will be made for a meet
ing Of Valley shippers and growers
! to employ legal council and take 9TH
er measures in securing a tariff on
tomatoes from Mexico and other for
eign countries.

on his bill, permitting the old Pension
Office Building in Judiciary Square to
be used as an armory by the District
National Guard, with quarters also
available for other patriotic organiza-
tions.
The Zihlnan bill provides that when
the general accounting office vacates
the old Pension Building, which was
originally erected as a memorial to
the soldiers in the Civil War,
the structure be turned over by the
Public Buildings Commission for use
as an armory and place Of assemblage
for patriotic organizations. He points
out that Congress has for more than
10 years recognized the need for an
armory for the District National
Guard. which has notable record of
service, but has been postponing max
ing appropriations for the structure.
which would also serve the militia
from other States.
With the erection Of O. new munich
pal group Of buildings imperative. II
seems improbable Mr.. Zihlman said,
that any considerable amount would
be appropriated for some time for u
new armory In the meantime. use
OF The Pension Office Building by the
National Guard would really be
saving to the Government, which now
pays the rent annually for an armory
for the Guard. and It's location would
fit in with the proposed municipal
group between judiciary Square and
Pennsylvania avenue.

acquired by the Government. Sena-
tor Willis, Republican, OF Ohio. want
ed to know IL it was proposed to de-
molish the structure as soon as IL is
taken over by the United States.
Senator Reyes, chairman OF the
Senate public buildings and grounds
committee, replied:
II think not, at least not for great
many years. The Southern Railway
Building is a modern building. I think
when we passed a similar bill at the
last session 1t was rather expected
that the District of Columbia would
want to acquire that building for use
of the District government. Since
last Winter, however, the District
government apparently has adopted
a different program which It hopes
to carry out and which will greatly
benefit the appearance of the north
side OF Pennsylvania avenue. and that
Is to erect a group of District build
ings in the vicinity of John Marshall
place. For that reason I believe the
District would have no real use for
the Southern Railway Building; but
the Federal Government certainly will
have. That building will be used
without doubt for great many years
as an office building to house many
OF the Federal activities which are
now scattered over the city OF Wash
ington. II will be very useful build
ing and will save a great deal Of rent
TO the Federal Government, and !
have not the slightest idea that the
building will be taken down for years
to come"
