ARMY POST GUT.
IN JEOPARDY

.' The one substantial factor in
President Hoover's economy pro-
gram" for the War Department
budget is in grave jeopardy, it
was learned today.
: This is the administration plan
to abandon more than 20 interior
Army posts, in which a consider
able portion of the present stand
ing Army is housed.
The barrack construction pro-
gram in the seaboard and Coast
=. Artillery post is making satisfac-
tory headway. but is far from
completion, officials say. There
is no prospect that when the new
War Department budget is made
up there will be adequate housing
for all the troops who will be
"evicted" by the proposed ahan-
donment of the interior posts. 1t
appears probable that the present
program will be considerably
modified.
Another proposal for Army
Navy curtailment that is certain
to engender Congressional fight
is the plan to reduce the person
: mel of the Marine Corps by 1900
men.

Bids Asked for Construction
of Lines; Will Be Connected
With Arlington Lines Also

Bids for the installation of a
water system for the town of
Falls Church will be received on
= July 2 by Mayor L. P. Daniels.
Calling for the bids came as the
=. result of special meeting of
the town council at which the
report of the special water COM
mittee was adopted in full.
3. According to the report, the
township can furnish water at a
rate not exceeding 10 cents per
1000 gallons by digging its own
wellS and having its own source
Of supply. Arlington county
authorities had offered to furnish
water at a rate of 80 cents per
loco gallons, a rate which.
according to town officials, would.
be prOhibitive.
Plans call for the construction
of a grid system which will be
composed of IL miles of eight
and 12-inch mains and 95 fire
hydrants. Water will be supplied
from several deep wells, and a
100000 gallon storage tank will
be kept full for emergencies.
To further guard against emer.
gencieS, a connection will be made
with the Arlington system which
will be used only in event the
towns water supply is cut short
At any time.
Details of rates to be charged
and administration will be worked
out within the next few weeks by
the finance committee of the
council.

the people of the town apparently
have forsaken the department.
A Failure. He Says
With about $4,000, 900 insured

rate of 27 cents per SIOO with fire
protection, MIR. Ware said this rate
will jump to AZ cents per S1OO
without such protection.
According to figures given by
Mr.. Ware, the fire department
is in an almost hopeless finan-
cial tangle owing to the lack Of
public-Spirited financial support.
It's outstanding obligations are
as follows, he said: $4,000 first
mortgage on building: $4,000 Sec
ond trust note, $500 collateral
note, $1,000 due on equipment,
$500 on siren, and 5000 on heat

200 annually for rent of police

from Montgomery county. and
$3.50 rent for county police sta

Tax Raise Banned
Mr.. Ware said he is in favor
of the town council passing an
ordinance permitting benefit box

Gil at it's last meeting refused to
enact such a law.
A proposed increase in the tax
rate sufficient to overcome the
present situation has been frOwned

BOWIE, Md, June ga COM
mittee of citizens living at Bowie
will go to Marlboro today to file
a formal protest with the board
Of education against a proposal
to move the two upper grades
of the Bowie High School to
Laurel Md. At the. same time
the committee will ask that a
proposed bond issue Of $25,O00
be floated and the fund used to
improve the local school.
A meeting of citizens called
Friday night in the auditorium
of the Bowie school went on rec
ord opposing the change and
parents of children attending
that institution declared that IN
the long run it would prove much
cheaper to engage two teachers
than to furnish transportation
to Laurel.
Only a few of those present
objected to a resolution offered
by Albert CAN'T demanding the
board of education refuse to
consolidate the upper grades, the
third and fourth year high school
at Laurel.
Many of those present de.
clared the time consumed in
going to and returning from
Laurel would tire the children
out and unfit them to properly
pursue their studies.
The committee named is com.
prised of the trustees of the
Bowie High School and repre-
sentative citizens of the town.

20 to 0, before crowd Of $4,000.
Far more powerful, with multitude
of reserves, the Cadets scored in each
of the first three periods and forced the
Tigers to stop final march on downs

touchdown on 5-yard run in the
opening quarter With the Tigers
pressing in the second quarter, Joe
Almokary, who throws passes high and
far, tossed one from Army's 32-yard

- AMBRIDGE, Mass, November 7.
After being checked for Sc
minutes by a band OF hard
fighting Dartmouth Indians to-
day, Capt Barry Wood rallied his
fumbling and stumbling Harvard forces
just long enough to put over a touch
down with one Of his amazing aerial
miracles and then drop-kicked the
vital point that gave the undefeated
Crimson 76 victory.
-Four Harvard scoring thrusts had
been turned back by the valiant
Indians and there was but four min
utes unplayed when Wood opened
determined overhead attack on Dart
mouths 38-yard line. He attempted
two short heaves that were grounded
and drew five-yard penalty. Another
toss was ruined and on fourth down
he ran wide to the right on the As
yard line and whipped long, straight
pass that Carl Hageman caught on
the 10-yard line, far beyond the
Green's efficient 2-2-1 overhead de-
tense.
Hageman was unchanllenged as he
ran over the Dartmouth goal line and
Wood coolly booted the winning point
between the uprights.
During these few seconds, the Har-
ward team clicked for the first and
only time in the game. 1t got of to
a slow start and Dartmouth put over
its touchdown early, after its acting
a Ono rfn oh Morton p
covered John Schereschewsky's tumble
on Harvard's 29-yard line. Morton
faded back on the first play and COM
pleted scoring pass to Halfback Bill
Mccall, hero of last weeks tie with
Yale.
Hageman blocked his place-kick try
for the seventh point and twice after,
when Harvard miscueS enabled Dart
mouth to penetrate its territory, Nor
ton was unable to score with place
kicks inside of the 25-yard line.
Harvard used up most of the game
with fruitless rushing. Jack Orchard
line to shreds, piliig up Is first downs
for total of 243 yards. and were used
up and forced to retire before Harvard
scored.
Several drives were halted when
Aarne Frigard, Dartmouth's great de-
fensive halfback, threw Orchard for
losses and he also played mastery
part in the ruination of Harvards
touted overhead attack Harvard COM
pleted but of it's 18 forwards and
most of the unsuccessful ones were in
completed by Frigard.
Dartmouth, with nothing that even
resembled a running game, was held
to three first downs and total Of rs
yards by rushing. The Green, however,
completed four OF its half dozen for
