Z 2BUSH ARRESTS
. PROVE WRONG

Two arrests in addition to that
of Wallace Kendrick, 100 block
Twenty-fifth st. N. W., have been
made in the investigation Of the
murder of Louis Bush, owner Of
the Gray Line Tours, here, a
week ago last Monday night, 1t
was learned at police head
quarters today.
Secrecy has been thrown about
the investigation and no inkling
of the two other arrests came
from members of the homicide
squad. Just who they are In
spector William S. Shelby declined
to state, but said:
High hopes were rudely
shattered when the two turned
out to be bIOomerS."
One woman, whose identity is
withheld, told police a few days
after Bush died from the effects
of two bullet wounds inflicted by
the bandit, that she saw a man
run from the alley in the rear
of the Bush home and recognized
him. 1t was on this information
one Of the arrests was made.
Bush, in the opinion of police,
was accosted by a lone bandit
who fired when he became ner-
vous, and fled without robbirg
the financier.
Investigators frankly admitted
that they are up against a stone
wall, but are hoping for a
"hreak" .,..

SAY.
j. s. SOUND

Fundamental economic condi-
tions in the country are sound. It
is only pesSimiSm that is slowing
up business.
That opinion was issued last
night in a statement by the So
ofety of Industrial Engineers,
which last night closed its annual
convention at Hotel Mayflower.
Optimism, courageous use of
credit and increased spending are
the essentials needed to get rid
Of the present depression and re-
store the country to normalcy, the
statement added.
The "key log" of the jam is un-
employment, the engineers stated,
and if the workers are given work
to do they will buy. Active sell
ing, backed by intelligent produc.
ton, will swing the pendulum the
other way, back to normal pros
perity, the society declares.

Gull. Which Keep to Shore

The black-head gulls of Europe, un-
like the ordinary seagulls common
along the coast Of this country, are
not sea-going birds. They will not fol-
low ships day after day, but keep
themselves well within reach Of land.
In fact, they are not adverse to flying
inland and feeding in new-plowed
land, on insects, worms and larvae.
The gulls breed from the British
Isles east through Europe, as far as
Turkestan. In winter they range all
the way from the Azores to Japan,
living largely along the shores, on
crustaceans, small fish and any food
which finds its way into the waters
along the shores.
