One of the most important things
you can do to make a teething baby
comfortable is to see that little
bowels do their work of carrying of
waste matter promptly and regularly.
For this nothing is better than Cas-
toria, pure vegetable preparation
specially made for babies and chill
dren. Castoria acts so gently you can
give it to young infants to relieve
collie. Yet it is always effective, for
older children, too. Remember, Cas-
toria contains no harsh drugs, no
ndrcotics-is absolutely harmless.
When your baby is fretful with
teething or food upset, give cleans
ing dose of Castoria. Be sure you get
genuine Castoria with the name:

CHEST COLLECTS
S1,S35,0)OOF FUND
Sum Is 1888 Per Cent of
Total PIedged-BaIance Is
Needed at Once.

Total payments of Community Chest
pledges up to August l amounted to
$1,835,0 900, or 1889 per cent of the ST.
417,7O0 promised for the year, it was
announced yesterday by William J.
Flather, jr., treasurer of the Chest.
This compares with $l,349,3O0 paid
during the same period of last year,
or 6S.71 percent of the s1,s63, 300
pledged for 1880.
Due to the fact that many Govern
ment employees paid up their pledges in
three monthly instaliments. the per-
centage of Government collections is
unusually high, amounting to 1852, 300
or 1895 per cent of the amount pledged,
while the Government groups,
paying $972,000, have turned in only
68.76 per cent of their pledges.
Meanwhile the Chest has paid to
its member agencies 81, ,63l 900, or 72.74
per cent Of their appropriations. This
high percentage of payment IS due,
according to Elwood Street, director.
to the unemployment situation which
has brought greatly increased demands
for relief. Several of the member Or
ganizations, 1t was pointed out, will
have exhausted their total funds by
the end of this month.
These figures show more plainly
than any words can tell the necessity
of collecting every penny pledged to the
Chest this year." Mr.. Street declared.
Although the Board of Public Wei
fare is taking over unemployment cases
to the best of its ability, its funds
were made available so late in the year
that there Is now no possibility Of eS-
Gaping a deficit of from 100000 to
$250,000 for this year"

Anacostia Flats Called
Health Menace Following
Evacuation of Veterans.

Dr. William c. Fowler, District of
Columbia health officer, yesterday in q
letter to the Office of Public Buildings
and Pubic Parks. requested immediate
removal of debris left behind by the
B. Z. F, at Camp Marks in AnacoStia
Park
The health officer contended sanitary
inspectors Of his department have found
large accumulations Of decaying food,
rags, tin cans, garbage and exposed
latrines, which are considered a health
menace.
Capt. E. N ChiSolm, jr., acting d.
rector Of public buildings and public
parks, said park officials are anxious to
cooperate and will speed the work as
soon as funds are made available A
force of 100 men and 20 trucks or teams
and wagons was asked of the District
Commissioners Immediately after the
evacuation.
Work on cleaning up Anacostia Park
Will be started the day labor and equip
ment are made available" Capt. ChiSolm
said. Diversion of portion of the
rellef funds (S350,000 made available
for the District by Congress) for this
work will serve double purpose, effect

THE terror-Stricken robin cringed,
powerless to move, as the cat
crept toward him with stea1thy
Il tread.
Licking his chops hungrily,
the feline hunter crouched on his hind
legs and prepared for the kill. The bird
tapped his wings frantically, but failed
to move.
A twig snapped. Both the cat and
the robin turned as small boy strobe
toward them.
"Scat!" cried the boy, picking up a
stick and brandishing it at IT, cat. The
cat darted away. With the paby robin
nestled in the palm of his hand, the
boy was filled with happiness and pride
as he walked toward his home at 5906
Fourth street.
There he told his mother, Mrs. Vir-
ginia M. Lee, how he had rescued the
bird while searching for a couple of pet
turtles that had wandered away. She
was proud of her 6-year-old son.
We'll feed the little fellow" she told
Carl; then we'll carry him back to his
mother"
She prepared a hard-boiled egg, and
the bird disposed of it in short order.
Several days slter she and Carl, the lat
ter with the robin again nestled in his
palm, headed toward the woods.
Carl placed the bird on a tree limb,
and he and his mother turned home
ward. They had not gone far, however,
when there was a chirp-chirp-c -chirp,
and something fiuttered onto Carls
shoulder.

Look, mother" said Carl, delightedly.
stay in the woods now-hadn't we bet
ter take him home?"
Mrs. Lee agreed. and the bird still
was perched contentedly on her sons
shoulder when they reached home.
Carrs father, Robert E. Lee, a
machinist at the Navy Yard, built a
house for the robin and attached it
to the roof of his garage. But, some
how or other, the bird didn't seem to
like his new home, making 1t clear he
preferred to spend his nights in the
company of the farnilys four canaries,
and his days perched on the back
fence.
1t was about 10 days ago that he
abandoned the woods to become a
member Of the Lee household, but he
seems as happy as If he were still
under his mothers wing.
From the fence, Robbie-that's the
name Carl has given his new pet
watches the Lees next-door neighbor
Mrs. owen McGarry, work among her
flower beds.
And when Mrs. McGarry enters the
yard with a trowel in her hand, the
robin knaws what to expect-a worm!
He fits to her shoulder, where he
remains until her trowel unearthS a
worm; then he swoops TO the ground,
gathers the worm into his bill, returns
to her shoulder and continues watch
ing the movements of the trowel.

B. E.F. SHY AT MARINES
No Hungry Takers to Offer in
Chicago.

An offer to buy food for former
Marines in the B. E. F. contingent at
Chicago on Friday failed to produce a
single applicant, Maj. Gen. Ben H
Fuller, commandant Of the Marine
Corps, was advised yesterday in tele-
gram, signed by John William Murray

100 miles east and west, its greatest
depth being about $4,000 feet 1t. was
recently discovered by the non-magnetic
yacht Carnegie, Of the local institution
Buried in the Pacific is another
great hidden mountain system, almost
continental in extent. This is the
Easter Island rise One of its most
prominent features discovered on the
last cruise of the Carnegie, also bears
the name of a Washington man, DR..
John A. Merriam, president of the Car
negie Institution of Washington. This
mountain system comes to the surface
in the celebrated Easter Island, from
which It is connected with South Amer
lea over the Juan Fernandez island
group west Of Chile. Thence it swings
north and is joined to North America
by way of the Galapagos Islands. Re-
cent observations, Littlehales says, have
probably disproved the idea that the
Easter Island mountain system was
also tied up with the Antarctic CONT
nent.
Large as Continents.
"Such great rises as the mid-Atlantic
Rise or the Easter Island Rise" Mr..
LittlehaleS says, ARE as large as whole
continents like South America or
Africa and the basins which flank them
also are of continental extent. The
deeps are not. as might be thought, the
pits of the ocean basins, marking the
limit of the contracting areas inciosed
by successive contours of increasing
depth. They are, as a rule. far re-
moved from the middle parts of the
great ocean basins and, by contrast,
are found near the bordering lands
where displacement phenomena have
taken place on large scale. Thus in
the North Atlantic ocean the greatest
depths are associated with the great An
tillean arc and in the Pacific most of
them are along the island-studded
ridges on the continentals borders Of
the ocean"

MCCarI Distinguishes Be-

miniStrative Time.
VACANT JOB FUNDS
MUST BE IMPOUNDED
Reduced Labor Cost in Producing
Stamps and Notes Not to Be
Passed On.

Saturdays off in the Government
service shall count as half day Of three
and a half hours, only for the purpose
OF the so-called legislative compulsory
furlough Of "a days, it was decided yes
terday by Controller General McCarl In
decision to Secretary Of the Treasury
Mills.
After this 24-day compulsory furlough
is worked off, the Saturday work from 8
to l O'Clock shall count the same as it
did before the operation of the economy
act-a full. day for sick leave and mill
tary leave and four hours for leave with
out pay.
This means that Saturdays, when
taken in the administrative fur,ough,
which was designed to enable Govern
ment chiefs to spread their avalibIe ap-
preparations over the people at work and
prevent dismissals, shall count for q
nall hour more than when Saturday is
taken in the Legislative" furlough.
Ihe Government work day consists ac-
tually of seven hours, half of which is
| three and a half.
ImpOunding Funds Saved.
Funds saved by a Government posi-
ton remaining vacant for any time
during this nScal year must be i'm
pounded in the Treasury unless such
1mpounding be specifically waived in
writing by the President, it was decided
yesterday by McCarl.
The controller general explained that:
TO the extent that the appropriation
for the position Is used to pay the sal
ary of a person appointed to I'LL the
vacancy pursuant to the Presidents
written authorization or approval of
the filling Of the vacancy, the appro-
priation is not unexpended by the
operation of the section (of law). How
ever" continued McCarl, the impound-
ing OF the salary of the position cover
ing the time the position remained
vacant Is acquired unless such inpound-
ing be waived specifically in writing
by the President
Saving Not Passed On.
McCarl also held that the reduced
, labor cost OF producing postage stamps
and Federal Reserve notes az the Bu-
reau OF Engraving and Printing could
not be passed on in lower prices to
the Post Office Department for stamps,
and to the Federal Reserve Banks for
their notes. The economy act deductions
from pay of employees OF the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, McCarl held,
must be inpounded in the Treasury, as
real saving, but the other government
agencies purchasing the products of the
Bureau must pay the whole bill, in
Guiding both actual labor cost, and the
impounded funds.
THE actual cost of repay work" said
McCarI, 80 far as the bureau appro-
pr.aticn3 are concerned is, therefore,
the gross amount Of such charges
against the bureau appropriations dn-
Guiding amounts innpounded) and such
gross amount should form the basis of
charges to other government services,
etc, for which repay work is per-
formed"

TOBACCO ACREAGE
SHOWS BIG DROP
Virginia Total Drops From 242, 900
in 1920 to 163 900 in 1881,
Study Reveals.
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOcia ted Press
BLACkSBURG, Va, August g.
Since 1920 the acreage planted in to-
bacco in Virginia has decreased from
242000 acres planted In that year to
10000 acres planted in 1881, a study
made by Roy A. Ballinger and ]. L.
Maxton for the Virginia Agricultural
Experiment Station shows. Results of
the study will appear in a bulletin on
Marketing Virginia Tobacco"
The reason for the decrease in acre
age devoted to tobacco is attributed
by the authors to low prices being paid
for tobacco as compared with other
farm products.
The history of the production of to-
bacco in Virginia Is traced from 1919.
when 10000 pounds were produced
around jamestown in James City
County. to 1929. when there was pro-
duced in Virginia 100000 pounds
of tobacco from $4,000 acres which
were planted on 40,361 farms in IS
counties Of the State.

Sea Mountains Mightiest

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

T HE mightiest mountain range or
earth never has been seen anC
rarely is shown ON maps YET
Il it is about 10000 miles long anc
approaches an altitude of 5000
feet throughout its extent.
It's highest peaks are hidden many
fathomS deep under the Atlantic Ocean
It extends, with a few small breaks
north and south, almost through the
center of the Atlantic, from Iceland tC
the edge of the Antarctic. The exist
ence of this great mountain system
known as the Midatlantic Rise, Is re-
vealed by G.. w. Littlehales of the Navy
photographic Off1ce in a report just is
sued by the National Research Council
on the physical configurations of the
ocean bottoms.
With the great accumulation of depth
soundings the world over, and especially
during the past few years, it is pointed
out, it has become possible for the first
time to furnish an approximate pic
ture of undersea geography. This great
mountain range is one of the most con-
spicuous features that has emerged
from the growing wealth of data.
Few Deep Intervals.
1t appears, Mr.. Littlehales says, like
a meeting place of great upward thrustS
o. the earth's crust reacting from the
weight on each side of the Atlantic OF
the great amount of drainage material
washed into the ocean from the two
Americas, Europe and Africa over
countless centuries. The mountain
system swings out of the Atlantic south
of the Cape of Good Hope. and follows
the general course of the northern
coast of Antarctica into the Indian
Ocean, where it ends in small plateau
en- the edge of the Antarctic. Through
the entire range there are very few
deem intervals.
The mountain range, Mr.. Littlehales
points out, cuts the Atlantic into two
deep basins. These range IN depth from
$4,000 to $4,000 feet
Recent Soundings in far southern
waters, the report says, have created al
most a certainty of ridge sweeping
eastward in a long curve between the
Antarctic continent and South America
Africa and Australia. This is considered
evidence that in scme past age the
great Antarctic land mass was con-
nected with these continents.
Deepest in Pacific Ocean.
While tie bottom of the Pacific still
is only partially explored, Mr.. Littlehales
points out it certainly contains the
deepest depressicns in the earth's crust.
The greatest depths have been reached
in the so-called Mndanao Deep, off the
Philippines, where one sounding shows
a distance to the bottom OF near.y 10000
feet, or more than 7 miles. 1t Is a
great trough extending for more than
600 miles southwark. where the least
depths recorded are Of more than $4,000
feet.
One Of the greatest depths on earth,
the report states, is the Fleming Deep,
which bears the name of Washington
man, DR.. John A. Fleming, director of
the Terrestrial Magnetism Laboratory of
the Carnegie Institution. 1t lies close
to Japan and extends for approximately

SCHOOL PROGRAM CALLS
FOR $1,473,5OO OUTLAY
Loss of Another 80 Days in Fur
loughs Further Cuts Year
for Projects.

One of the freakish results of the op-
GRAFTON Of the economy act has been the
slowing down of the Districts building
program by month, owing to the red
tape through which officials must strug-
gle before appointing force to design
the buildings which make up the pro-
gram.
After a month of it, however, Harold
F. Baker, director Of the Districts de-
partment of construction, announced
yesterday that he has set up force of
10 architects and engineers who will go
to work on the plans for the buildings.
He said that only 10 months of the year
will be useful, one having vanished al
ready for the causes mentioned and the
other will be killed by way of fur
loughs.
Start Work Tomorrow.
However, the force will start in to-
morrow on the $1,473,500 school con-
struction program and the other build
ing activities in the 1888 appropriation
bill They will work on all plans except
those for the new Reno High School.
There is an appropriation CT S50,000
for plans for this school, and special
force will be set up to devote its time
exclusively to 1t, in order to have the
plans ready for the close of the year.
There is no construction appropriation
for this school in the present appro-
priation act.
Buildings On Program.
Among the buildings on the program
are:
Eight-room addition to the Bancroft
School; eight-room building on the
Keene School site; completion Of the
Taft Junior High School, a contract for
which has already been let; trade
school for boys at Twenty-fourth street
and Benning road; junior high school
at Nineteenth street and Minnesoa ave-
nue. southeast; two-room addition to
the Crummel School; four-room build
ing to replace the Kenilworth School;
repairs and reconstruction Of Wilson
Teachers College and razing of Ross
School; four-room school in Foxall
Village; gymnasium assembly hall at
Douglass Simmons School, and addi-
tional work on the Ieformatory and
children's tuberculosis sanitarium.
