TRANSMITTED
To SENATE

With the certification passed
the House." and 1t might have
been added "in record-breaking
time" the largest District Of Co
lumbia appropriation bill, carry
ing in excess Of $45,0O0, 900, was
transmitted to the Senate today.
Practically without change the
House rushed through the bill
shortly after 6 o'clock last night
and there was but one afternoon
Of debate. The bill Of 102 pages
was rapidly read. House attend
ance ranged from % to 1875 mem.
bers, the latter turnout register
ing during the only real fight
over the bill, hinging on the
appropriation Of $500, 900 for a
farmers produce market whole
sale), to be located in Southwest
Washington. The item was re-
tanned, SO to 40, after a dozen
members had participated in a
hot discussion Of the need of such
a market and whether a real
estate scheme" was involved.
Underhill Opposed
Representative Underhill CR.),
Massachusetts,, sought to elimi-
nate the appropriation, asserting
the market was wanted neither
by the farmers of nearby sections
nor the consumers of Washing
ton. He and several members
asserted that railroad interests
were involved, a suggestion de-
MED by Chairman Wood, OF the
Appropriations Committee. and
others.
Representative Wood said Con-
gress had settled two years ago
the question Of constructing such
a market and the Appropriations
Committee had only to carry OH.
it's mandates.
Supporting Underhill, Repre-.
sentative Grant Hudson R0,
Michigan, shouted that this bill
Ought to be dubbed just another
real estate grab. The House
should know that Of this amount
$4,000 goes for building a mar
ket and $225, 900 for purchase Of
land at excessive prices"
Has S45,334,317 Total
AS approved, the bill carries
several important legislative
riders and a money total OF
S45,334,3l7. Representative Sim
mons (RD. in charge OF the
measure, offered several minor
committee amendments which
were adopted, but attempts OF
other members to amend the
bill were futile.
Representative Hull (R.j. Wis
consin, a member Of the House
District Committee, tried to knock
out on a point Of order the
proviso that kindergarten teachers
may be transferred to the first
to fourth grades in the ele-
mentary schools, but he failed.
Representative Simmons as
serted this proviso had been mis-
understood: that no kindergarten
teachers were to be discharged or
hurriedly transferred, but that
there were 78 excess teachers in
the kindergartens who gradually
are to be shifted to other work
and that school officials had at.
tested they were fitted for the
other work.
A fight to strike from the bill
the proviso that hereafter per
sons appointed to the police force
must have an eighth grade edu-
cation was made by Representa-.
tive Cochran Cd of Missouri.
He pleaded that under such a
limitation even Sergt. Alvin York,
hero Of the World War, could
not have gotten a job on the
Washington police force. How
ever, the limitation was retained
without record vote.
Preceding final passage there
had been two extended speeches
by Simmons and Representative
william p. Holiday (RJ Of
Illinois.

HNU
By FLORA

A tall, handsome young man
Six feet tall, real broad shoulders,
curly blonde hair, and the blueSt
of blue eyes-a man who would
make an ideal moving picture hero
lis not going into the movies.
Instead he is going to keep on
with airships. a.
This young man is Knut Eek
= ener, whose father last night re-
ceiVed the National Geographic
Medal for his round-the-world
flight. /
Knut, who is a bit shy, of girl
reporters especially, was found at
the New Willard. It had been
reported that whenever he was
in Washington feminine tempera-
ture went up and girl reporter
/. was considered necessary to get
the real information and the re-
port is true, oh my, yes.
Young Eckener, who was a
member of the party, has been for
several months working in Akron,
Ohio, with the Goodyear Zeppelin
Company.
While the father was honored
for his attainment with dirigible
airshipS, young Eckener is entitled
to a medal for heroism. =,
On the initial flight of the Graf
Zeppelin to this country the giant
, dirigible was caught in a storm
and young Eckener, at the risk of
his life, climbed out on the rig
ging and repaired the damage.
Furthermore, Knut Eckener is
not going to marry an American,
and he is not going to marry in
Germany, for he docs not think
It. wise for an airman to marry" !"
There was. however, a wry little
smile In his eyes as he said this.
s"I'm going back to Germany in
the fall. I'm very interested in
, dirigibles," he said.
