During Emerpency

Although Anacostia Park. where a
large portion of the bonus army is in
camp, is ordinarily under the jurisdic-
ton of the Public Buildings and Public
Parks, Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant. the di-
rector, said that he has turned over to

FEEDING BONUS GROUPS
Officials, Having Difficulty Caring
for Local Jobless, Decide
on New Policy.
Snecial p;spatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
HAGERSTOWN, Md. June 10
Hagerstown has fed its last bonus
marcher. Hospitality shown 400 or
500 who stopped here en- route to Wash
ington or returning home will be dis
continued, city and welfare officials in
dicated today.
Several hundred veterans arrived re-
Gently via Western Maryland Railroad
box cars and were served doughnuts,
while another large group yesterday was
served soup and bread at the Salvation
Army headquarters.
Fearful that word will reach other
marchers, officials announced feeding OF
veterans will be discontinued, as Hag-
erstown has difficulty caring for its own
jobless.
A group Of veterans. about 60 in num-
ber, took possession of the fair grounds
late yesterday and were preparing to
camp there. They will have to get
food from individuals, however, officials
said.
Another group Of 400 caused the au-
thorities at Brunswick, on the Balti-
more & Ohio. some concern. They were
en- route to Washington and number
sought food in the town while others
remained in the box cars.

Small Percentage
OF Bonus Accounts
Kept in District
Most NeteransW Would Have
to Apply to Regional
Offices for Payment.

If Congress were to pass necessary
legislation to authorize payment of the
adjusted service compensation GER
tiflcates it would not be a case of "the
line forming to the right" at the Vet
erans' Administration Building, Ver-
mont avenue and H street. for the pay
off. unless Congress specifically au-
thOrizes it.
According to officials at the bureau,
only a small percentage of the ac-
counts of the World War veterans hold
ing certificates are kept in Washing
ton. The majority of them are re-
tanned at the regional Offices of the
administration. and it will be to these
offices that the veterans must apply
for payment of the bonus.
The certificates are being held at the
regional units where the last payment
was made on them last year. In the
cases where payment was made through
banks. however, the accounts have been
returned to the Veterans Administra-
tion here.
1t was believed at the bureau many
Of the veterans now in the Capital
would be forced to return home to COL
}ect on their certificates if Congress au-
thorized payment of the bonus.

Competition.

Dunbar High School made a clean
sweep Of the fortieth annual COM
pany competitive drills in the colored
schools late yesterday when its Com
pany A won first place and Companies
G and B took second and third honors,
respectively.
Cadet Capt. Roscoe Cooper led Com
pany A to give his school its seventh
consecutive victory in the annual drill
He was presented with the Teachers
Medal, which he may wear for the
and the gold medal of victory. which
he may keep. Mrs. Mary A. McNeill

made the presentations.
10000 See Drill.
Mai. Gen. James Van Horn Mosley,
deputy chief of staff, United States
Army, reviewed the brigade prior to the
announcement Of the drill results. With
him in the reviewing line were Col.
c. E. N. Howard and Garnet c. Wilk-
inSon. first assistant superintendent of
schools. A crowd of 10000 persons
cheered the results from the stands in
Griffith Stadium.
Thei commanding officers Of the sec
ond and third place units were Cadet
Capt. John Butcher, Company G, and
Cadet Capt. Granville Moore, Com
pany B.
Silent Drill.
The review was preceded by silent
drill by the non commissioned officers
of the brigade in which the unit ex-
ecuted an elaborate program of orders
without commands. The precision with
which the group moved drew loud ap-
plause from the audience.
Judges Of the company competitive
drills were Capt. William Creigler,
Maryland National Guard Capt

Guard, and First Lieut. Richard r.

missioners as an emergency measure.

Sponsible for the policing of the camp.
the colonel explained, and the United
States Park Police are making their
rounds as usual in other parts Of Ana
costa Park
The sanitary measures are in the
hands of the municipal authorities.
Col. Grant asserted that the turning
over of the occupied portion of Ana
costa Park to the Commissioners is
likened to the transfer OF land to them
for playground or street purposes. The
entire situation will be handled by the
Commissioners and Col. Grant will get

their best to enforce cleanliness, to see
that no trash is disposed of promiscu-
ously. and to cooperate with local
health authorities. Among the rank and
file, however, there was considerable
apprehension over proposals to break
up the camp and scatter the army in
places where better sanitation can be
provided. They prefer to stay at Camp
Camden, where they have the con-
fidence inspired by numbers.
There was little evidence of anybody
going home" this morning Last night
the men were fairly comfortable and
today the men are in better spirits.
The idea has taken hold that quitting
now is something akin to desertion in
wartime and the resolution of the men

strengthened by the assurances of the
various orators who have addressed

Is Ex-Service Men
At Pittsburgh Meet
To Fight Bonus Bill
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, June 1O.-At
a quietly called meeting OF about
rs ex-service men last night. to
which the various American
Legion posts of the county ap-
parently were not invited, an or
ganization was formed to protest
adoption of the pending bonus
bill.
In a statement of principle to-
day, the group said it favors ut
most consideration for all dis
abled veterans and their de-
pendents. but feels that, aside
from payment of adjusted COM
pensation when due, the Nation
is without further financial obli-
CATION to the men who were IN
good physical condition when
they were mustered out after the
war.
Copies of resolution oppos-
ing the $780, 100000 bonus bill IN
Congress were ordered sent to

Of NEW YORK :

Although we watched it rise, story
by story, and although it is only
comparatively short distance from
where we live, we never until recently
visited the tower of the Empire State
building. That is, of course, because
we happen to dwell in New York.
There are many things in the city
which no resident knows half as much
about as does some visitor from thou
sands of miles away. Nor is that pc
culiar to this portion Of the country.
We met a man the other day, who has
lived for years in Seattle and never
has seen Rainier park. We know Chi
cagoans who never have been inside
the Field museum.
Once having reached the top Of the
Empire State, we were sorry we had
not gone before. From street level,
New York is a pretty impressive place.
From that tower, it looks like some
thing child has constructed of blocks.
The translantic liners, lying at their
toy docks, are little boats one might
sail in a bathtub. And man raised
that building, beam by beam and stone
by stone. 1t was something Of an
achievement.
You may say that Mt. Everest is al
most twenty-five times as high. Man
did not raise that and from it's peak
the Empire State might not look like
much. That is true enough, but men
in airplanes have been higher than Mt.
Everest. Considering that only short
while ago, as time is measured, the
highest man ever got was to the top
most limb which would bear his
weight, he has done pretty we'll. Ii
he keeps on, he may get somewhere.
Yet, looking down from that tower
at the largest city on this continent
at the cars which look like process
sion of crawling ants, and the pedes
TRANS who look like fly specks, makes
man feel a bit humble, a little more
doubtful of his individual Importance
to the universe. They say that, even
from the top of the Empire tower, the
stars still look pretty far away.
The things that interested us about
the Empire State tower were not the
facts told by the books for sale in the
| observation room. We don't care much
how many pounds of steel or how

BY JEAN NEWTON
TO BE A "PLUNGER"

uI E is plunger" we occasionally
L hear Of a man who, paradox
lcally speaking, rather than gamble
conservatively stakes all or most of
what he has at the moment in reck-
less effort to gain his objective by the
grace of good luck.
While the lingual significance Of the
term "plunger' is at once apparent, it
is to the earl of Hastings, historically,
that we must give credit for it's wide
spread use in the sense already noted.
For it is authoritatively stated that
the earl of Hastings was the first
gambler to be called 'plunger." This
occurred after he had played and lost
three games of checkers for the equiv
alent Of $4,000 each. He then cut a
pack of cards for the equivalent of
$4,000 cut-losing about $4,000
within an hour and half.
His friends and onlookers dubbed
him plunger and soon the term got
into general circulation with the mean
ing indicated.

many thousands of bricks went into

and pipes would reach if laid end to
end. We were interested to see that
already efforts had been made to OBJ
literate names hastily and surreptiti-
ously scrawled in pencil on the stone,
and to note that persons who appeared
to be perfectly comfortable in the OBJ
servation room at the base Of the tower
were noticeably nervous in the obser-
walton room at the top. Probably one
reason is that the latter room is so
much smaller that it gives them feel
ing of being at the top of a shaft, a
long distance above the ground. We
heard one visitor say she had the
same sense. of movement there that
she got from boat lying at a dock.
Visitors with whom we assembled in
the elevators evidently expected to feel
the ascent. One passenger opened his
mouth and put his fingers to his ears,
but we could discover little or no SEN
sation due to the ride. The elevators
run so smoothly that you do not real
