'ALL-AMERICAN

FOOTBALL conditions at the we'll
L known institution located in South

worse instead of improving, when one
contrasts the nickname of "The Irish

caused linotype operators to develop
headaches and also caused the Murphys

names acted as good as Donovans or
Doughertys could. Perhaps they acted
that way for there was usually Riley,

them the way.

of 3416 Oliver street, Joined the group
by virtue of his capture at Sugar Loaf
Mountain in nearby Maryland of full
grown red-tail hawk.
Net Constructed.
Alva, who recently spent months
in the West Indies curing bird skins
for an expedition from the National
Museum, constructed a net after a
fashion once popular in Holland. The
net was strung on U frame, which
lay fiat and pivoted on the ground
while baited with live pigeon tied
to a string.
When the hawk swooped on the
pigeon, Alva pulled the bird back into
the trap from a place of concealment
nearby and sprang the net. This hawk,
much larger than the variety captured
by the twins, quickly responded to
training. He can be liberated to fly
at quarry now and will return to his
masters gloved wrist, or to some other
perch from which he can be persuaded
to descend with bit of meat.
The sixth member Of the group is
Richard Slatterly, IA, of 5000 Western
avenue, who caught young broadwing
hawk shortly after the bird was Matched
last Summer.

Few Dropped Payments.

The number of members who failed
to keep up their payments throughout
the year is reported as Unexpectedly
small.
The rapid growth of the Christmas
savings clubs in this city during the
past nine years has been largely due to
an educational campaign carried on by
the District Bankers Association. The
work has been in charge of the Adver-
tising Committee, of which Eliot H.
Thomson, Washington Loan & Trust
Co., is chairman.
There is national association known
as Christmas, Clubs, Inc, of which Her
bert F. Rawll is president. During the
past week he announced that more
than SAL, 100000 would be distributed
this year to 1O,500,000 members OF
clubs conducted by 1000 banking and
other organizations.
OF this SAL 10000 President Rawll
estimated that $167, SOC, 900 would be
used to purchase Christmas presents;
S123 ,500,0 900 for permanent investment
or saving; $48,500,0 to take care OF
year-end bills and Sther commitments; I;

ZOO PHONE USERS
GIVEN DIAL SERVICE
Rapid Growth of Buildings in
Georgia Central Area of City
Given as Cause.

Dial telephone equipment, installed in
the Georgia central office Of the tele-
phone system, was cut into service at
midnight last night.
Rapid growth of buildings in the sec
ton served by this exchange was the
reason given by John A. Remon, gen.
eral manager of the Chesapeake g. Poto-
mac Telephone Co., for the change. The
Georgia Office, at Georgia avenue and
Gallatin street, now serves 7,700 Gus
toners, and the. building has enough
space to house telephone equipment for
all prospective clients in that territory
many years.
According to Mr.. Remon, the new
Office will require a decreased force OF
operators, but an increased force OF me-
chanics. The extra operators, however
will not be discharged, but absorbed ir
other parts of the system.
The public will be invited to inspect
the new equipment at this exchange
later. $685. -

Commerce is particularly fortunate in
securing Mr.. Hartman as its next
speaker. He is an authority in the field
of city passenger transportation and his
message to Washington should prove
most valuable in helping us to decide
upon a solution to this important prob
lem in the Capital"
The national chamber president has
long been interested in municipal
transportation problems. By appoint
ment of Gov. Charming H. Cox of
Massachusetts,, he became the first
chairman of the Metropolitan Planning
Commission, which developed co-or-
dinated plans for 40 municipalities of
the Greater Boston area and played an
important part in modernlZing the
Boston street railway system.
Mr.. Hartman a strong believer in
organized business effort, served for
several years as president Of the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce and acted
also on a number of important national
chamber committees and as a member
of the board of directors. He was a
member of the committee which ham
died the important referendum on city
passenger transportation, recently
ucted upon favorably by the Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce.

depression Flowers" Bloom
Objects of Exquisite Beauty Are Produced BY Reac
ton of Blaing, Salt and Dyes on Lump
of Coal.

The same process is going on at weak
points in the membrane all over the
top of the lump of coal. The eX-
cresence has the color of the drop OF
dye that happens to have fallen on
that particular spot. Years ago some
thing similar-the so-called chemical
garden"-used to be produced IN col
lege chemistry classes to illustrate the
phenomenon of osmotic pressure. This,
however, involved the use of chemicals
that would not be found ordinarily out
side of the laboratory, while the ma
terial for the depression flowers" is in
almost every kitchen.
While far from living thing, the
chemists explain, the depression flower
involves some of the most vital pr1n-
ciples in the phenomenon of life. OS-
mosis, for example, Is the power that
causes water, drawn from the soil by
rootlets, to ascend the trunks of trees.
Other examples of osmosis working to-
gether with semi-permeable membranes
are the transfer of water from the
blood through the kidneys and the
transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide
through the lung tissue in breathing.
An excellent example of the semi
permeable membrane, through which
water can pentrate while other ma
terial is kept out, it was explained, is
the inside lining of an egg shell. II
an egg Is left in water its weight will
increase, because of the water that gets
in. But dye, such as is used in color
ing Easter eggs, cannot get through this
membrane, with the result that the in
side Of the egg is not colored.
Similar to Hangover"
The same principles that are at work
H.. H. Nf ion
flowers" it was explained, come strong
ly into play when alcohol is taken into
the stomach and are responsible for the
vile taste in the mouth and the ex-
cessiye thirst the morning after a
riotous night. Alcohol is one of the
most potent increasers of osInotic pres
sure known. sprinkling of alcohol
over the bluing might work about as
well as salt in producing the "depres-
sion flower" This is by no means GER
tain, however, since other principles
may be involved.
The lining of the stomach is a semi
permeable membrane through which
water can penetrate. The alcohol
draws the water out Of the system,
which in turn calls loudly for its re-
stomach happened to be perfect semi
permeable membrane stomachful of
whisky-40 to so per cent alcohol
would attract water from the blood
stream with force equal to $50 pounds
per square inch. Such violent up
setting Of the balance OF the physiologi-
cal system probably would prove fatal.
Actually the pull is considerably less
than this It would be force equiva-
lent to that required to pump up water
900 feet. That happens to be the prin-
cipal reason for the chaser" after a
drink. Water actually put into the
stomach reduces the pull.
Some kinds of ink, 1t was explained,
might work almost as well as bluing in
producing a semi-permeable membrane
over the coal.

searching for another meeting place
yesterday as Maj. Ernest W. Brown,
superintendent of police. put the finish
ing touches on his plans for handling

Auditorium officials said the applica-

Officials Criticized.
In lengthy statement issued to the
press, Benjamin criticized Federal anc
District officials for attempting to "cre-
ate difficulties" for the hunger march
ers, in spite of which, he said, "prepa-
rations for the march are going forware
satisfactorily in accordance with plans.
Three columns of the marcher,

Boys Revive Ancient Sport
CHEVY CHASE YOUTHS TRAIN HAWKS TO poUNCE ON RABBITS

A FORM of hunting so antiquated
" it Is entirely new to local game
"A wardens has been revived in the
4 u fields and woodlots about Chevy
Chase by six youthful falconers.
The enthusiasts have trained SIX
hawks and are flying them at rabplts
and other small game, after the fash1on
of the Middle Ages and much to the
astonishment of residents in the victn-
ity, not to mention the quarry.
do you know any more jokes?" de-
manded one Maryland official, when
asked what laws might apply to falcon
ing. So far as he knew, there was no
law against, it, so long as the hunters
stayed within the rabbit bag OF six per
day each. And not even the most en-
thusiastic falconer. it was said, would
approach that limit.
Boys Discover Nest.
The idea of falcon hunting began to
take substance last May when Frank
and John Craighead, 16year-old twins,
of 5301 Forty-f1rst street, discovered a
hawkes. nest in a tree on the wooded
heights overlooking the Potomac.
Frank obtained some climbing spurs
and Skinned up the tree, discovering
four eggs in the big nest Of sticks and
Morgan Berthrong, IA, Of 1888 Legation
street, and Julian Griggs, IS, Of 80
East Bradley lane, Chevy Chase, Md,
returned often to watch the mother
hawk sitting on the eggs.
Meanwhile, the boys discovered an
account of falconry or hawking as prac-
ticed in early England and decided to
give it try.
When the eggs Matched, the boys
captured the four young hawks just be-
fore they were able to fly and bore them
home for course of training.
Twins Keep Males.
The young captives soon got accus-
toned to their keepers, and gradually
were allowed more liberty as feathers
and talons developed along with a
growing need for exercise.
The twins kept the female birds,
much larger and fiercer than the males,
and Morgan and Julian took the re-
manning two. The birds soon gradu-
ated from small flights tethered to a
string to comparative freedom.
They learned to perch on the gloved
hands of their masters, and to launch
themselves at whatever small prey ap-
peared before them
The tail feathers of Franks bird had
been broken when he was captured.
Frank spliced the tail of marsh hawk
on the broken ends with the aid OF
needles which had been dipped in salt
water to corrode them and make them
stick inside the Quills.
This bird now flies as swiftly and
surely as her hunting mate, Frank said,
guided by an almost wholly artificial
tail.
