Ernst w. Sphinx, of 248 Park Ave-,
Takoma Park, Md, a landscape
artist, who had set up his can
vas on the Layhi1l Road about
three miles from Georgia Avenue,
lay down his brush and hurried
to his car. He came upon a
stranger breaking the windows
with a crank handle. AS he
approached the marauder jumped
into a car parked nearby and
drove away.
Mr. Sphinx took down the H.

Montgomery county police. The
license was issued to an automo-
bile firm in Silver Spring.
The artist was at loss for any
motive for the destruction. He
said he had never seen the man

and Mrs. Robert B. Moore, of

and the cries of the children
awakened their parents.
When Mr.. Moore and his wife
entered the children's room, the

ablaze. Snatching the girls in
their arms, the couple made their
way to safety. The home was

NAVY AIR QUOTA
YEAR AHEAD

Because modern planes are
built better and last longer; be-
cause Navy fliers are getting more
expert and have fewer crashes,
and because of Standardization
on a few types of planes, the
Navy will end it's fiscal year to-
morrow with its full goal of 1000
planes on hand, a year ahead
of schedule,
Under the five-year program,
which calls for 2,O58 planes in
all, the Army Air Corps, on the
other hand, will end the fiscal
year with its goal four-fifths
achieved. The original goal of
1900 was altered because it was
found a large percentage of the
Army's ships we're always under
repair and the plans call for a
minimum of 1900 planes ready
for use.
According to Rear Admiral
William Moffett, Navy chief Of
aeronautics, the expected cost
of the aircraft program, 65,0O0,.
900, has been kept down to $62,.
100000.

BOYS PAN GOLD
/ FROM SEWER

Hardy men have journeyed
deep into wildernesses to dig and
pan their dirt for tiny flecks of
gold. which was a fairly lucra-
tive enterprise. But three Wash
inton youngsters have beaten that
method all hollow-they pan out
ready-made rings and even
watches.
The youngSterS-Albert HiggS,
1877 K st. S. E.; William Gala
tin, 1919 K st. S. E., and James
Murphy, 1885 K st. S. E.-owe
their success to an accidental dis
covery.
While exploring near the foot
of Thirteenth Street S. E., where
flOOd-water sewer emptieS into
the AnacOstia River, one of them
found some coins in the mud.
That gave them an idea.
Home they went for pans, and
back they came again.
Then they started in a buSi-
neSSlike manner to "pan out'' all
the mud around the storm sewer
exit. And did they get thrills
and valuableS!
The three Salvsgers have found
numerous coins, rings, pins of
value and even watches in their
mine" The boys only worry is
that this publicity may bring
stiff competition.

DRY Law DATA
CITE LOSSES

The Is States that fought pro-

$906, ,402,2 ,204 annually in liquor
taxes if the Eighteenth Amend.
ment were repealed, economists
of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment declared
today.
This calculation was based on
the assumption that the rates
fixed in the revenue act of 1918
would not be exceeded and that
the per capita consumption would
be only the same as that before
prohibition in these States.
The IS States, represented as
