M'CARL Won't
HELPF|GHT ON
MIKE FEAR

There is much fear and
trembling and gnashing of
teeth at the Department of
Agriculture these days and
Comptroller General j. r. Nc
Carl today ruled that abso-
lutely nothing must be done
about it.
Courageous and learned scientists
who advance without a quiver to
engage in battle to the death with
the dread Silvanus Surniamensis, or
the Anthonomus Grandis, quake and
cringe when they go before radio
microphone to explain their heroic
tasks to the public.
Their plight became so pathetic
that the Secretary of Agriculture
wrote a five-page letter to McCarl
asking permission to buy a small
microphone and loud speaker to In
stall at the Department here. Then
he pointed out. his fearful workers
could be initiated into the mysteries
of radio broadcasting and be coached
in modulation of voice and delivery
OF speeches before they went to the
broadcasting studio.
McCarl held that the Government
has no money available for such an
expense and ruled that employees OF
the Department of Agriculture who
are suffering from mike" fright
must pay for a cure themselves.

Maryland cars being operated with
out the safety sticker.
The safety tests include examina-
ton of steering apparatus, lights,

They are little, and young, and
warm. They sQuirm and wiggle and
yap. Some of them can't even yap
at all, and only sprawl in the very
bottom of the baskets hoping for
milk, or maybe not hoping at all,
just waiting to die.
Once, each one was called Mike,
or Rover or Jimmy or Sandy or Jiggs.
Some of them faithfully followed
children at play, followed on their
little weak legs. Now, they have no
names, no identity. They are only
lost orphan dogs in the District
Pound.
They are assorted dogs. of various
breeds and sizes and dispositions.
A few have never known any home
but the dog morgue, born there of
hapless mothers. who later met death
when the Pound Master was unable
to find homes for them.
W. r. Smith. the pound master,
dosen't like to kill puppies. Although
the older dogs can remain in the
pound after capture only for a short
time before they are put to death,
the puppies have been carefully nur-
tured and taught their manners, and
he is saving each one for someone
who might want dog-a small dog,
with little, pleading paws and a cold
wet nose.
Because of their abbreviated size,
the puppies sell for half the pr. e of
the big dogs They can be bought
for a dollar apiece. And as the
pound is getting crowded, each short
life depends on somebody's dollar.
Yesterday there We're many of the
larger dogs, too, waiting either for
owners or for death. Twenty-nine of
them waited in vain for somebody to
say. Here's my 50. / want the big
brown one with the bushy tall"
Twenty-nine of them died, their
bodies pressed tightly together In the
big Uven.

Percefull, medical approving
officer of the Veterans Blu:
reau, today when he went to
his grave in flag-draped
casket at Arlington National

Plan Frustrated
Ellen Alvord, whose attempt to
marry Colonel PercefuIl as the
officer lay dying In the hospital
was frustrated by his sister, Mrs.
Richard Wathen, who came here,
shortly before the coloneps death,
from Elizabethton, KY, was absent
from the services
Mrs. Wathen, presumably the
reason Miss Alvord remained away
while her fiance was buried was
there with her husband. With
them were a small sprinkling Of
friends.
And while Miss Alvord, who
faithfully had watched over the
Army officer during his illness
from cancer, could not see her
sweetheart's burial, handful OF
tourists, disinterested spectators,
who did not even know the
colonel's name, looked on.
Lieutenant Colonel PercefuiPs
death ended a struggle between
Miss Alvord and Mrs. Wathen, OF
several days duration.
Mrs, Wathen, learning OF Miss
Affords plans to marry the officer
on his deathbed, thwarted her by
barring the bride-to-be from her
brothers room.
The services at the grave were
conducted by the George Washing
ton Post of the American Legion
and the War Department. The Rev.
r, Synder, chaplain, and Capt. Paul
v. Collins, commander of the post,
read the rituals.
The funeral was conducted with
full military honors, the body ar
irving on a caisson. A band played
dirge, and three shots were fired
in last salute across the grave fol-
lowed by taps.

BY YOUNG
TELLER

A shot party" that cost
$500 is the subject of much
attention by investigators into
the activities of George Will

lng-receiver teller of the
ers and Mechanics
branch of the Riggs National
Bank, who has confessed to
the embezzlement of more than
] 100000 Of the bank s funds.
The alleged party was staged at
u nearby resort and occurred on
recent weekend, according to in.
formation reaching the investiga-
tors.
Bennett is alleged to have paid
the check and played host to a
group of friends.
He Pays Again
Yet another hot party" also is
being Investigated. A dinner-dance
was thrown at a nearby country
club and again Bennett, modest
salaried bank employe, footed the
bill.
The investigators, who have moth
ing to say regarding their activities,
were put on the trail of the alleged
spending orgies by residents OF
NGeorgetown who remarked on the
apparent wild spending of money by
the young teller.
Conducting the investigations are
agents from the Treasury Depart
sment and the Department Of Justice,
land the private detectives employed
Sby the bonding companies who wrote
Ethe teller's bond and who made
good his alleged defalcations.
Bond Is Split Up
The bond under which Bennett
worked was split up among several
companies, it has been learned. and
each Is anxious to locate any hidden
assets of the defaulting teller in an
effort to lessen the loss
y Bennett now is at liberty under
fbond of SIS 1000, which had been
slowered from 500. 900 to $4,000, and
then to the final figure.
& Nor are the bonding companies
ga tisfied that Bennett was alone In
Ethe gigantic embezzlement. The

Shave expressed doubt that Bennett
was telling the whole truth when,
lin his alleged confession, he said
he worked alone.
