Hot Dogs May Mean Nightmare to Some,
But to Smith They Bark Prosperity
Colonel" OiIing Up
TonsiIs for Trade
at World Series

Should the average layman
dream of barrels and barrels of
hot dogs, gallons of mustard and
thousands Of cases of soda pop,
it would be a restless night in
deed and would be laid to some
thing he had eaten.
But to Col" Billie Smith, dis
penser of these ball lot necessi-
ties, and one of Clark Griffith's
stadium crew, who has doubtless
had such dreams of late, it is a
welcome world series prosperity
theme song.
Hurrying about the bis ball
yard today where hundreds of
carpenters, gardeners and elec-
tricians worked under forced
draft to prepare for the series

preparations for his own part in

crowds, the Colonel" revealed the
following facts:
Approximately 5000 hot dogs
anu an equal number of rolls are
consumed by the fans on each Sc

Ions of mustard, $4,000 bottles of
soft drinks. several hundred gall
Ions of orange Juice prepared on

PRICE Of BREAD
PROBED HERE

An investigation into the recent
increase in bread prices in the
District, to determine whether
bakers profits have been boosted,
is now being made by account
ants of the Federation Trade
Commission, who are examining
the books of local bakeries.
This was disclosed today by
Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman
of the Consumers Council OF
Washington.
The probe. it was said, is in
line with the Administrations
belief that increased profits
should go directly to farmers
rather than to middlemen.
It already has been shown that
the recent rise from 1910 cents
to 82-1O cents a loaf in Washing
ton cannot be due to increased
labor costs.

FORESTRY BEAR
STORY DENIED
Bv International News Service

By International News Service
A report by the United States
Forest Service showing AlaSka's S
bear population is increasing has
been ridiculed by John M. Holz-
worth, president of the National
Association of Wild Life Conserva-
tionists.
Holzworth. who for several
years had waged an unceasing
battle to establish Admiralty Is
land. off the Alaska coast. as a
sanctuary for the grizzly and
brown bear. said:
"The estimates of the United
States Forest Service which
claim bears in Alaska are multi
plying in number are ridiculous.
1t is physically impossible for
the bears to increase perceptibly
under present conditions"
Holzworth says the Government
is opposed to the establishment
of a bear sanctuary on Admiralty
Island because of pressure by
pulpwood interests. The island is
rich with timberland, with con-
cessions now being held by west
coast operators.

backyard of Biagio Sottoasnti, a
laborer, has been chosen by ma
ture as the scene Of another of
her unusual performances. Sot-

long growing from vines four
feet high.

seeds from wax beans that grew
to ordinary size last year. He

the results. They have eaten
most Of the beans. one of them
being sufficient for a portion,
but there are still three on the
vines.
The longest of these is two

inside the pod are about an inch

CHAMP CLARK'S
GRANDSON A
BALL FAN
Only 9 Years of Age But He
Knows His Big Leagues;
Sees Mats Lose Game

Young Champ Clark, aged 8,
who has just come to Washington,
is apparently less impressed by his
grandfather's career as Speaker of
the House and his fathers position
as Senator from Missouri than by
the alluring prospect of becoming
member of worlds champion
ship baseball team.
Champ Clark, I'd, is a research
student in batting averages and
such, and can tell you all about
the big leaguers from almost any
point of view. He knows how
they hit, how they field, what
positions they play, and in gen
eral has their number.
He saw the pennant-winning
Nationals Sunday for the first
time and was not unduly i'm
pressed, because they lost. How,
ever, he agreed that a team good
enough to get into the series with
a big S can afford to lose a game
now and then.
But his twin brothers, Marsh
and Kimball, aged 5, do not share
his enthusiasm for the national
pastime. They like dogs better.
Also, they used to like climbing
about in WindoW-boxes thrust out
of third-story windows, but they
have been discouraged from pur-
suing that hobby.
Senator and Mrs. Clark brought
the trio here a few days ago and
the family will shortly be installed
in the new Clark home in Spring

Wounded Prisoner Had Keys

HAGERSTOwN, Md, Sept. 26.
Police are combing the territory
around Hagerstown in an effort
to recapture four men who es-
capped from the Jail here early
today.
OF the six men who fled, one
was shot in the shoulder and re-
taken, while another was cap

According to Sheriff W. B.
Downin, he was aroused about
$3.50 a. m. by the barking of a
dog within the Jail incloSure and

six men on top of the prison wall.
Downin seized a rifle and fired,
striking Smith in the shoulder,
The man climbed down inside the
wall, as did Speedball, but the
other four leaped outside the
wall and fled.
The men are believed to have
been let out of their cells by
Smith, who was a trusty and had
the cell keys. They then sawed
two bars in a window, made a
rope of blankets and let them
selves down to the ground. The
saws are believed to have been

There is one thing can frankly
