U. S. HEALTH SERVICE
MAY TURN TO FARMING
Considering Raising Guinea Pigs,
Mice, Turtles, Etc, for Ex-
perimental Purposes.

The United States Public Health
Service is considering raising guinea
pigs, white mice, chickens. white rats
and turtles for experimental purposes.
This came to light in hearings on
the Treasury Department appropri-
alton BILL where the need for such a
farm was expressed by Federal officials,
and provoked much interested discus
sion among members Of the committee.
1t was suggested that such farm might
be established at Government property
near Beltville, Md, or on one of the
new Government narcotic farms or
penal institutions.
Such a farm is needed, it was ex-
planned by DR.. L. r. Thompson. because
the price of animals, such as guinea
pigs, is going up. and because the kind
of animals available were described as
"nondescript" instead of animals of a
pure strain.

DELAY MOVE TO SAVE

Philippine Debates Block Senate
Vote on Bingham Resolution to
Nullify Section of Act.

Prospect of Senate action today on
the Bingham joint resolution designed
to nullify the provision in the general
economy bill relating to married per-
sons in the Government service did not
appear very bright, in view of an antici-
pated prolonged debate over the Philip
pine independence bill.
Senator Bingham announced, how
ever, he would rest for action on the
resolution at the first opportunity.
There appears to be little opposition
to the resolution in the Senate, but
House leaders predict it will not be ap-
proved there in view of the overwhelm-
ing vote by which the House adopted
the conference report on the economy
bill. The married provision stipulates
that in event of necessary dismissals
due to insufficient appropriations, either
man or his wife, if both are on the
Government pay roll, shall be the first
released.
Senator Bingham feels that the only
way in which the Senate can make
retribution for its action in accepting
the conference report is to adopt joint
resolutions nullifying the effect of the
admitted inequities in the economy bill.

HOUSE APPROVES
GAS HOLDER SITE
Action Taken as Citizens
Protest Blocks Vote
in Senate.

The House today voted to give the
Washington Gas Light Co. permission
to erect on Virginia avenue southeast
5,0CC, ,000-cubic foot gas holder. Ear
lier in the day objections blocked the
same bill in the Senate, the Southeast
Washington Citizens Association hav-
ing gone on record in opposition
The last-minute effort to block SEN
ate action was made before the Senate
District Committee late yesterday by
the association.
The bill haG been favorably reported
by the committee and is on the Senate
calendar.
The associations objection to the gas
holder was registered by Allan Davis
and John Ritter.
Gas holders already in the southeast
section, they argued, are menace to
health, the odor from them polluting
the air and the waters of the Anacostia
River and saturating the soil.
Davis claimed the proposed holder
would serve as an auxiliary to existing
storage tanks. and should be located in
the section of the city it is intended to
serve, and not in the southeast.
The hearing was marked by heated
verbal tilt between Senator's Austin OF
Vermont and Blaine of Wisconsin, who
have taken opposite sides on the trac-
ton merger issue. Blaine was closely
questioning William E. Horton, counsel
for the gas company, as to the position
of the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission on the proposed erec-
tion Of the gas holder when Austin
sharply interposed:
Mr.. Chairman, do not think thi:
witness is being fairly treated"
II guess 1 have been a member o.
this committee as long as the Senator
from Vermont" Blaine retaliated. %
do not need any suggestions from him
as to the questions ask. know my
rights as a member of this COMMITTEES
and intend to exercise them"
"And as long as serve on the same
committee, I will protect the rights
of witnesses" said Austin.
To this Blaine said: II will ask wit
nesses such questions as I desire re-
gardless Of the guardianship over wit
nesses of the Senator from Vermont" "
Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chair
man of the Public Utilities Commis
sion, testified as to the desirability Of
the southeast site for the proposed gas
holder over all others. John Nolen,
city planner of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission. said
the commission would approve the To-
cation in case of public necessity.

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, June 30.-The first local con-
viction for violation of Virginia's motor

Lacy Brown, Washington trucker, was
fined $50 and costs by Judge B. M.

Brown was fined under the section
of the code which prohibits out-of-

intrastate business. According to State
Policeman C. Wayne Carr, Brown was
engaged in moving household goods
from one section Of the county to an
