Two Fall 400 Feet
Over Sheer Cliff;
Are Recovering
Coincidental Proximity of
Other Mountain Climb.
ers Saves Lives.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NORTH CONWAY, N. H., January 4.
"A 400-foot fall down boulder-stud-
ded shoulder of Huntington ravine on
Mount Washington nearly ended disas-
trously for Yale graduate student and
the daughter of a Harvard professor,
who today were recovering from serious
injuries in Conway Hospital.
Miss Jessie Whitehead, daughter Of
Prof. Alfred Whitehead, and Walter
K. Sturges, Harvard graduate and a
student at the Yale Graduate School,
were brought down the mountainside
last night on stretchers made of poles,
clothing and odd bits of rope. The ex-
tent of their injuries was not imme-
diately determined, but both were dazed
and in great pain. :,
They fell down a sheer. snow-capped
shoulder of the ravine late yesterday,
and but for series of fortunate coinc1-
dences. both would probably have per-
ished in few hours.
Miss Whitehead was rendered uncon-
scious by the fall Sturges staggered a
uuarter-n1ile down the trail for neip
before collapsing.
The couple were climbing Mount
Washington's most dangerous trail,
along the left side of Huntington ravine,
when they lost their footing. Other
climbers estimated they fell vertically
300 feet. then bumped over another 100
foot slope, which was studded with ice
sheeted bculders. They were caught
finally in a thick growth OF bushes.
The fortunate circumstances that
were probably responsible for their being
saved included the proximity of another
climbing party and the arrival, shortly
after their fall, of four members OF the
Harvard Mountaineering Club.
The rescuers carried the couple on
improvised stretchers 8 miles from the
bushes in which they fell to Pmkham
Notch Camp of the Appalachian Noun
tain Club. Fourteen persons helped In
the rescue work.
A rainstorm that turned to sleet
made the mountain trails almost i'm
passable during the week end and the
rescue party took five and a half hours
to carry the couple to the mountain
base. From the base they were taken
10 miles to North Conway by am
bulance.

the wind or absorb water easily. Prob
ably the kangaroo rat could find Just
such combination nowhere else.
Sight and Hearing Keen.
It has also been able to adjust itself,
Grinnell found, to two very serious
enemies, the coyote and the horned owl.
It Is remarkably fast runner and has
exceptionally keen, senses of sight and
hearing. The burrows with their
emergency entrances and exits are ad-
mirably adapted to safety.
Another report just made to the So
ciety is Of very little known bat which
lives under stones along the shores of
the Gulf Of California and subsists by
fishing at night. This Is one of lie
strangest habitats ever chosen by a
mammal and the animal can be found
only by overturning the stones. 1t has
very specialized claws which enable 1t
to catch fish. When uncovered it does
not attempt to fly away, although 1t
has not lost the power of flight, but
tries to dig itself deeper under the rocks.

not under civil service.
The commission already Is compiling
this data, numerous requests from DEM
ocratic sources having been responsible
for a QUESTIONABLE that went out to the
various Governent agencies some time
ago asking for the information.
The resolution yesterday was adopted
following brief colloquy between Dem
ocratic and Republican Senators on the
subject Of patronage.
When the resolution was called up.
Senator Vandenberg. Republican, Of
Michigan, inquired for what purpose the
information was needed.
There is going to be slight change
in administration on the 4th day Of
March, and we would like to have the
information asked for" Senator Nc
Kellar replied.
Does the Senator mean that this
should be official notice to all deserv-
ing Democrats of what they may have
right to ask for?" Senator Bingham,
Republican, Of Connecticut, inquired.
McKellar said it may not be official
notice, but it will be information open

RATS OWN FARM,
SCIENTIST FINDS
MammaIoeist of California
Gives Report to Ameri-
can Society Here.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

Giant rats that "own" farms are de-
scribed in a report to the American
Society of Mammalogists here by DR..
Joseph Grinnell of the University of
California.
The report Is on study just made
Of these little known mammals, the
giant kangaroo rats, which are con-
southwestern side of the San Joaquin
Valley In California, where, as Grin
nell says, at owns whole square miles
to the practical exclusion of other
seed-eating mammals" He tried to de-
termine why so large and powerful an
animal, which could go wherever 1t
pleased, willingly should restrict itself
to such a narrow habitat.
The land ownership" Grinnell
found, extends to individual rats. Each
has its own system of burrows and its
exclusive strip Of land covered with
rich vegetation and separated from
the neighboring farms" by almost
barren strips. The population, he
the acre.
Each Rat Has Green"
Each rats precinct" he says, twas
marked by q conspicuous green from
two to four yards across and widely
separ d from the neighboring
greens" Pacing showed these greens
to be 90 to 80 PAGES apart and pretty
regularly spaced. THE precinct has
a much usher growth and different
flora from the surrounding area. Within
his precinct the rat digs a system of
burrows averaging In length about 10
feet, with two or three entrances and
occasional fairly large subterranean
chambers. Apparently the inhabitants
of one Of these rat communities have
learned to respect the territorial
claims Of each other.
That such large animal should be
satisfied with such limited habitat,
Grinnen found, is probably due to
peculiar combination of circumstances
that assure it good food supply and
safety. The kinds of seed bearing plants
it likes grow there in abundance. There
Is little rainfall to flood its shallow
burrows. 1t is weak digger and the
soil Is easy to excavate, yet of such
consistency that 1t does not drift with

NEW RESCUE SQUAD
SOUGHT BY CITIZENS
North Cleveland Park Association
Wants Unit on Connecticut
or Wisconsin Avenue.

The need for fire department res
cue squad on Connecticut or Wisconsin
avenue was emphasized last night by
the North Cleveland Park Citizens As
Sociation at a meeting in the Phoebe
Hearst School. District authorities were
urged to seek necessary funds for estab-
nshment of the squad
The citizens pointed out that wiscon-
sin avenue is the main artery of traffic
entering Washington from the north
west and many accidents occur ON this
thoroughfare. Injured persons could
receive first aid much more promptly
and reach hospitals sooner if an emer-
gency rescue organization were located
nearby and did not have to make the
long run from the center of the city, it
was declared. It now often is necessary
to impress the Bethesda, Md, rescue
squad into service, the citizens said.
The prevalence of burglaries in the
North Cleveland Park section was laid
partially to inadequate alley lighting,
aud the association voted to request
the District Government to remedy this
condition.

Delegate Will Seek
 Retention Marshaps Office

Replying to the plea of the Hyder Chamber of Commerce and citizens for the retention of the local U. s. Marshaps of- flee, scheduled for abandon ment September 1 as an econ- omy measure, Delegate A. J. Dimond, in a letter received this week, said:
 "The argument you make fo. continuance of the office is a forceful one, it seems to me. and I should be glad to present it, together with my own views, on the subject to the Depart ment of Justice. However, it is hard to say what the outcome will be. The Department has ordered the closing of many such offices throughout Alaska and efforts to have them re- stored have so far proved un- avalllng. The De- partment is operating on a bud get which reduces its appropri- ation 25 per cent as compared to last year, and restrictions of 7ervice are being made all over the United States proper, as we'll as Alaska.
 You may be sure I will do my best to see that the office at Hyder is retained.

Jetties Stand Hard Strain

The flood jetties installed on Salmon River by the Territory this summer were subjected to hard test last Sunday, when the river rose to the highest point reached this year. For some hours the raging river waters virtually covered all but one of the jetty structures but fortunately no damage was done beyond the washing away of a small section of log and brush near the outermost of the jetties. Later inspection re- vealed that the jetties sus- tained no material damage in spite of the terrific strain to which they were subjected by the torrential stream. That the structures were able to with stand the ordeal is a most con- vincing evidence of the careful planning and thoroughness of the work of Representative J. K. Green, who directed the new flood diversion scheme.

Restrictions On Imported
 Bakery Products Modified

Restrictions imposed by the new government flour tax which amounted virtually to an embargo on importations of bread and other bakery prod ucts from Stewart, B. C., Fly deris sole source of supply, were lifted this week when the Internal Revenue depart ment at Washington author ized the immediate release of bakery articles subject to the compensating tax on payment of the tax to the local customs collector.
 Under the initial regulations it was necessary to hold such products at the customs office until a release was obtained from the district collector at Tacoma, Wn., by which time the imported bread or pastry would be too dry to eat with comfort, if at all.
 Bread from Stewart was placed on sale by local merch- ants a few hours after the re- lease of the embargo was an nounced by customs collector J. l.. Abrams and Hyder bach elors were considerably hap pier over release from bread making.
