HOOVER URGED
To AID CLERKS

The first protest of "inequities"
of the economy act provisions
made directly to the White House,
presented by the new grievance"
subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on PoStoffices and Post
Roads, is today on President
Hoover's desk. appealing for sew
eral notifications of the acts ap-
plication.
Representative James M. Mead
of New York, chairman, who sub
mitted the plea, lists various
charges against present methods
of interpreting and carrying out
the acts provisions, particularly
in the postal service.
The plea urges military leave,
denied by the Postmaster Gen
eral.
Furloughing of carriers and
clerks is not uniform, it claims.
Work opportunities have not in
creased as expected under the
furlough plan, it adds.
Summarizing. Mead'S protest
urges a more liberal" and "hu-
name" Interpretation of the
economy act, Ito minimize its
hardships instead of making
them more harsh"

RURAL LIST

A mailing list, covering the
greater part of the rural popula-
ton of the country. and made
available to advertisers, news
papers and publications generally,
will be a feature of the Annual
Postal Guide soon to be issued by
the Post Office Department.
The department has discon'
tinued publishing in the guide
of a list giving the number Of
rural routes at all offices. AS a
substitute for this list, it will
print instead the number of let
ter boxes collectively on all of
routes from each office.
Postal officials have found the
work of separating mail at the
office of address to the several
routes attached thereto will be
insignificant and can be per.
formed without additional cost.
A recent experiment conducted
by the Post Office Department at
Milwaukee. where the postmaster
published and circulated list of
rural routes in the State, with
the number of boxes served from
each, proved a great aid to many
publishers.

CRAB PACKING
PLANT CLOSED
BY.MARYLAND
Others Warned to Use More
Sanitary Methods; Traces
of SpoiIage Seen

BALTIMORE, Aug. Cone
Eastern Shore crabmeat pack
ing plant has been ordered
closed and several others have
been ordered by the State de-
partment of health to use more
sanitary methods.
A shipment of crabmeat seized
by officials of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture Bureau Of
Pure Foods and DRUGS. showed
traces of spoilage.
In announcing the drastic ac-
ton DR.. Robert H. Riley, director,
said:
The establishment we have
closed may reopen whenever 1t
improves its methods from the
standpoint of sanitation.
For that reason we believe
it would be unwise to make the
name public and. because it
might reflect on other packing
establishments in the vicinity,
we are Withholding the location
of the plant"

DUE
To STAY WILD

Analostan Island, turned over
last spring to the office of public
buildings and parks by the Roose-
velt Memorial Association for con-
version into a public park, will
remain in its present state of
wildness indefinitely. Capt. E. N.
Chisholm. jr., assistant director of
public works, predicted today.
Lack of funds for proceeding
with the work of clearing out
underbrush and laying out paths
on the island is partly respon-
sible for leaving the site un.
touched, Captain Chisholm ex-
planned, but failure of landscape
architects appointed by the
Roosevelt Memorial Association to
submit plans for developing the
park have further retarded the
project.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission is ready at
any time to take up development
of Roosevelt Island, Captain
Chisholm declared.

CREDIT,
LOW PRICES
HIT FARMS
Maryland Crops of Fruit, Grain
Also Declared Poor in
Experts Reports

Burdened by a combination
of low prices, poor crops and
frozen credit, Maryland farm
ers face a bleak winter, ac-
cording to agricultural ex-
perts.
Recent reports compiled by the
extension service of the Univer-
sity of Maryland from returns
sent in from every part of the
State indicate that 1882 will be
one of the poorest fruit and grain
years in the history of Maryland.
Wheat Crop Worst
The wheat crop, it is freely
predicted, will be the worst on
record.
Failure Of rural banks operat
ing in the heart of the farming
district has wiped out the re-
serves on which a number OF
farmers were depending to tide
them through the winter.
Agricultural credit is practi-
Cally nOn-eXlSCenC ana Ine ldIu-
ers see almost no way to borrow
money to carry them through
until next years crops go on the
market.
Pray for Market Rise
Richard C. Ross, agricultural
statistician for the Maryland
Croro Perortino Service said to-
day:
"The farmers are praying
for a rising market this fall.
The other circumstances
wouldn't be so bad if only
prices were not at rock bottom.
Even a small rise would help
a lot. without that, it's diff
cult to say what is going to
happen"

800 MEN GIVEN
JOBS IN WEEK

Employment has been found
for approximately 300 men dur
ing the first week of the admin
istration of the $350,000 fund for
the relief of District unemployed.
it was estimated today by Leroy
A. Halbert, director of the emer-
gency relief division of the Board
of Public Welfare.
Although it has been difficult
to find work for white collar"
men. he said, the D. C. commit
tee on employment has located
laborerS applying for relief. A
payroll for 145 men already has
been drawn up.
Despite the fact that announce
ment was made yesterday that
headquarters Of Mr.. Halbert's
division at John Marshall Place
and C Street Northwest would be
closed today, more than 200 per-
sons were on hand this morning
to file applications for relief.
Swamped with 3,238 applica-
tions, the committee closed it's
doors for today in an effort to
expedite cases already on file.

AND HYDE
To STUMP

President Hoover will carry on
his campaign from the White
House and the Rapidan camp, &C
cording to the latest definite in
formation obtained from the
White House.
His one big speech will be his
acceptance speech next Thursday
evening. He has declined invita-
tions to appear outside this city.
Advance copies of his accep-
tance speech came from the Pub
lie Printer yesterday, but it is ex-
pected the President will make
some changes in it before the
speech is distributed.
Only two of the -Four Horse
men" are expected to go into the
highways and by-ways making
addresses in behalf of the Presi-
dents campaign. 1t is believed
that Secretary of War Hurley
and Secretary of the Treasury
Mills, because of their connection
with the eviction of the B. E. F.,
would be subjected to so much
heckling as to hamper their use
fulneSS.
Consequently, Secretary of La
bor Doak and Secretary of Agri-
culture Hyde, are expected to
carry on the bulk of the work.

Navy Head Sails
For Massachusetts,

Forsaking his desk at the Navy
Department to heed the lure of
a spanking good breeze and a
straining sail, Secretary of Navy
Adams yesterday headed for
Minot. Mass, for two weeks
vacation.
Much of the Secretary's time
will undoubtedly be spent sailing
on Massachusetts Bay, as he is
a yachtsman of renoWn. In 1920
he was skipper of the Resolute
when America repulsed the peren-
NAL challenge of the late Sir
Thomas Upton.

+ FORECAST BY
DUNCAN CASE
Clerk of Court Bonded for
Only $4,000; No Protection
, of HaIIoCk Funds

Arlington county will lose
more than $4,000 due to al
legged shortages in accounts of
William II. Duncan, former
clerk of the circuit court, and
F. Jasper Hallock, former
clerk of the school board, it
was declared today.
Duncan was bonded for only
$1,000, while Hallock was not
bonded.
Seeks Bond Payment
The county also stands to lose
a large portion of the shortage
charged to E. Wade Ball, former
treasurer, it was asserted
Although Ball was bonded for
100000 at one time and had
other bonds aggregating more
than $750,000 during his tenure
of office. it was thought only a
portion of the alleged shortage
would be recovered from the
bonding companies.
Lawrence Douglas, common
wealth attorney for Arlington
county, said today he plans to
ask payment of the bonds i'm
mediately.
Two Trials Set
However, it is admitted the
bonding companies will do moth
ing until after the criminal trials
and there is a possibility, it is
said, of their not paying until
ordered by the courts.
Ball will go on trial August Is.
Duncan is scheduled for trial
August %. Hallock's case will
not be heard until the October
term.

question of "hoW much to the yard' is answered in terms of ounces, pennyWeightS, etc., Alec expresses his estimates of from 20 to 25 sacks from a mere scratch on the ground.
 The home is one which any mil liOnaire would wish to own in its rustic and charming setting.
 Across the lake, above Cooper's Landing, longer tenure has suffic- ed to create something akin to an embrionic town. Edifices range from those little log cabins to vel come to the traveller, and where the latchstring is always outside the door, to artistic cottages with glass incloSed conservatory, such as Mr. ToWle occupies. With combination of cement and round boulders, flat flagstones and other handy material, the cottage is surrounded by artistic paved walks and art effect flower urns, the walks being bordered by flowers and shrubs.
 Inside the home is "crammed so full of cosy joy" and the refine ment a Woman's hand creates, even far removed from the modernism of urban life.
 From Cooper's Landing is but few hours run by outboard motor boat to the upper landing at Mile Is on the Chugach automobile road.
 It is at the lower point that one prepares for the run of swift water and rapids which alternate the en- tire distance to Skilak Lake.

CCLD AND GARDENS
 SYLVAN WILDERNESS
 LOWER LAKE DISTRICT

Take a pencil and draw a ring around Lake Kenai, from a point some three miles east of Cooper's Landing to Skilak Lake, Is miles westward, and you will surround one of the garden spots of Alaska.
 You will also surround an area which, judged by traditions and much visible evidence, contains sufficient gold to liquidate a large portion of the national debt. Not that this gold is available for the mere picking up, but when it is known that every bar, from grass roots or boulder down, pans many colors, and the area extends for a known IS miles and is approxi- mately one mile wide, some esti- mate as to the value of this store house of virgin wealth can be gain ed.
 But it is not alone the gold which sets this region aside as one of the most desirable in Alaska. There is the scenery, big game and sil- very lakes, which combined are all that should appeal to the poetic and romantic, Then again, there is the fecund soil, capable of produc- ing every hardy vegetable and berry, oats and other grains.
 Thus it is no wonder that settle ment is gradually encroaching up on this sylvan wilderness, with it's multiple charms and chances for pretty home along with the op- portunity of taking gold from the soil even by the crudest of meth ods.
 One of the first pretty rural homes encountered is that of MT and Mrs. Alex Bolem. It is located at the lower end of the lake, where the swift water of river begins. Sitting short distance back from the water is a rustic log cottage erected from timber cut in clearing several acres. On these acres is the evidence of what one may dc with a garden and grain; Alec was digging potatoes-and such pota- toes! One one side Frank Towle had sown oats for his horse, which he uses to pack out moose and oth- CT game for the hunters.

NOW WE'LL PAN ONE

As revelations come to light upon the cabre of the rlunvirate of small fry Senators Who headed by the bulous Howell went the limit in effort to throttle Western Alaska by assault upon the Alaska Railroad some idea may be gained of the mediocry of much of the United States senate.
 Here is what the Jackson Hole, Wyo Courier has to say about Senator Kendck sitting upon board to determine if the Alaska Eskimo shall go the way of the Indians of the Senator's State shall enjoy the privilege of revenue from their reindeer:
 Tt seems strange that Senator Kendrck sponsor and father of the Grand Teton National Park the open ing wedge into the Jackson Hole country should be out of touch with anything bordering the park question: Yes he who permitted the creation of Grand Teton National Park that mummy creature so bound with tape in which the Senator takes great prde to prohbthe building of roads, hotels and camps the very things that would bring thousands of tourists thru Jackson Hole He opened the gate he paved the way, he attaches the strings and now he puts his foot in the opening and says they shall not pass; want senatorial Investigation
 Well the people of Jackson Hole want it too, and we want to know where Wyoming's representatives have stood on this question for the past 15 years" ...
 Thus we have forecast of how long Alaska may be compelled to wait until the Wyoming cattle king brings to settlement the question of Eskimo rights as against New York corporation and the Beef Trust.
