CHILDREN TAUGHT
TO SPARE lockwood
10000 Told That Native
Blooms Are in Danger
of Extinction.

Ten thousand children in the sixth
grade in both white ard colored schools
are receiving this Spring specific les
sons in the necessity for sparing the
native dogwood, which has been in
danger of extinction.
This is the most outstanding feature
of the campaign now being carried on
in Washington by the Wildflower Pres
ervation Society and the National Cap
ital committee of the Garden Club Of
America for protection Of this native
Tree.
Each year the children of the sixth
grade have presented to them by the
nature study teachers in the schools
the reasons why the public should not
break of branches and tear trees to
pieces, as the trees do not replace them
selves, like flowers, and gradually die
If continually stripped of branches.
In the white schools the instruction
is under general direction of Miss
Esther Scott, nature study teacher.
Outline drawings Of the dogwood flower
are given to children, along with les
sons on its beauty and need for pro-
lection. Each pupil also is given an at
tractive lapel button. This button car
ries a picture of the dogwood blossom
and the words, "wildflower Preservation
Society. Spare the Dogwood." Chill
dren each year have been proud to
wear these buttons and have been active
in spreading the message to persons
VINO had not heard of it before. Les
sons in the colored schools are in charge
Of r. j. Rayford.
Reports have reached P. L. Kicker
of this city. president of the Wildhower
Preservation Society. that many chill
dren wearing these buttons have vigor-
ously criticized persons seen carrying
home broken branches of dogwood. The
children have been highly praised for
their good work in this direction.
The Towering dogwood rapidly was
spreading into full bloom everywhere
today, while the trees out in the open
are in their full glory now. Trees in
more shady places are coming out now
and their blossoms are turning from
pale green to. the beautiful creamy
white which is the distinguishing fea-
ture of this outstanding native tree.
One Of the most gorgeous displays oil
dogwood in this entire section Is al
| Cedar Hill Cemetery, where the trees
today we're found to be in full beauty

schools and for other commercial uses.
Mr.. Blee also described In detail how
the principal European airports were
developed and what various American
cities are planning to do.
While Mai. Brown was testifying,
Senator Bingham indicated he believed
that If plane developed engine trouble
IN taking of from Gravelly Point, the
pilot probably would be forced to land
In the water.
Mai. Brown replied that It was felt
Potomac Park, AIlacostia Park, Boiling
FIELD and the District property at Blue
Plains would afford ample space for
emergency landings If planes had TO
come down Immediately after taking on.

Maj. Brown Presents Map.
Mai. Brown read a letter showing
that the park and planning commission
long ago decided that the Gravelly
Point area combined greater number
of advantageous features with less
number of objections than any other
site now obtainable in the District at
q cost commensurate with the use ex-
pected.
In order to give the members Of Con-
gress the fullest possible information
on the subject, however, Maj. Brown
presented map of the countryside sur
rounding Washington, both in Mary
land and Virginia, on which were
marked of AZ separate areas topo-
graphically suited for landing field pur-
poses. A good many of them were
small and available only as emergency
landing fields. One or two Of the larg-
err ones however, attracted the atten-
ton OF members of the congressional
commission, and they indicated that
before the investigation ends they
would fiy over the whole area.
Senator Bingham questioned Maj.
Brown about an area near Camp
Springs and one near College Park.
He also asked Prof. Marvin Of the
Weather Bureau to gather reports on
wind and fog conditions from several
inland points In Maryland and Virginia,
to be compared with similar data as to
conditions on the banks of the Potomac.
Future Growth Is Predicted.
Prof. Marvin said that II fog was to
be the deciding factor, an inland airport
probably would be better than on the
waterfront. He left the impression,
however. that much Of the fog near the
river front was of q minor character,
confined to certain hours.
AR. Blee of the Commerce Depart
ment testified the department believes
the growth Of air transportation Is
Going forward rapidly, and that IS years

On July 9, 1929, eight men Of Naknek
Alaska, counted 257.546 salmon-not
sheep-paSsing through the underwater
gates placed by the United States
Bureau Of Fisheries on the Naknek
River.
The law requires that at least so per
cent of the salmon swimming to the
spawning shadows of Alaskan rivers
shall escape the nets and traps OF the
salmon canneries. Only by counting
the fish taken by the canneries and by
counting the fish that swim up river
can bureau agents guarantee freedom to
every other salmon.
So fences with gates are placed across
the chief salmon rivers of Alaska. Can
vas painted white is stretched on the
river bottom at each gate and bureau
representatives with enumerating ma
chimes take their posts counting the
salmon as they shoot through all the
long Northern Summer day.
Eight men of Naknek, Alaska, set
up the new record this past Summer,
according to the true flSh story re-
ported to the National Geographic So
ciety by Commissioner Henry OMalley

100000 stock offering In the form of

TangIes Up C. & o. Plans.
The exchange of control, accom-
plished with the greatest secrecy. throws
an entirely new and unexpected element
into the plans of the Chesapeake d
Ohio and the Baltimore s. Ohio Rail-
roads, which oppose the Pennsylvania
In the Eastern consolidation contest.
Both the G. & o. and the B. d o.
named the Pittsburgh e. West Virginia
in petitions for merger systems filed
early this year with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. They asked
that they be permitted to share control
Of the road equally with the New York
Central.
Since its organization the Pennroad
Corporation has spent about $4,000
600 in acquiring properties valuable to
the Pennsylvania Railroad. The impor-
lance of the P. &. w. Va. lies in the
fact that with the Wheeling and the
Western Maryland It provides con-
nection to Baltimore and Norfolk.

Sweringen brothers in the past. They
fled protests against the merger pro-
posais Of both the c. & o. and the
b. & 0.
Previous moves of the Pennroad Cor
poration have been directed mostly
against the Baltimore q Ohio. It ac-
uuired the Canton Co., which controls
a terminal in Baltimore that would be
valuable to the b & O., and the De-
troit, Toledo a. Ironton, formerly owned
by Henry Ford, which was one Of the
roads the B. & o. demanded In its
merger petition. &C.,.
An immediate effect Of the Pennroad
control of the p. a. w. Va. is expected
to be the abandonment by the latter
line of its plan to construct a branch
from it's Connellsville (Pa) extension
to connect with the Donora Southern
Railroad. This extension was opposed
by the Pennsylvania.

BATTLE FOR MONEY IN GAMBLING RAID
Police Get Cash After Struggle With PlayG-Four Fined

Stanley Glonski. o3 of 193 Farm ington avenue, proprietor of a Store at 160 Grove street. insisted in po- lice court today that there was no gambling on the premises Saturday night when a squad of policem D rushed in and arrested him and six others, and his claim was supporte l by some of the sextette and wit nesses who claimed to be positive that nothing but innocent games of setback flor fun" are played in the store.
 Judge M. D. Sake found Gionski guilty of the charge of keeping Il gambling place, however. and i'm. posed fine of $25 and costs. Three of the alleged gamblers were fined g without costs each and the other three were discharged because there was a doubt as to whether they were playing or merely looking or.
 Sergeant T. J. Feeney, Sergeant P. J. O'Mara and Officers J. NJ. Liebler and E. E. kiely made the raid about II o'clock. taking $6 m bills away from Walter Majkowski. 32, of SO Booth street, but only after struggle between him anl the two sergeants. Sergeants Fee ney and O'Mara and Officer Lhbier testified that some of the men were sitting on empty soda cases about a table on which were cards. Glon- ski, according to the police, shout ed warning in Polish and the men about the table jumped up hurriedly. Glonski contended that what he ar- tually shouted was What kind?" as Majkowski had called out to him to bring in some soda. Majkowski claimed that the money the police took from him was his own and he was going to use some of it to pay for the soda
 Testimony was offered by Glonski and others that the former has had the store only three weeks and the card games played in the rear room do not constitute gambling. Glonski admitted that he furnished the cards for the games and sometimes played with his customers, but there is never any money in the games and there was none Saturday night,
