expected donation Of $44 made it
possible for them to get the pets
they longed for.
Shortage Develops
It was a matter of first come,
first served, as 80 or more chill
dren scrambled into the yards of
the pound yesterday and went gaz-
ing with longing eyes from cage
to cage in search of their ideal
of a house pet.
Smith regretfully announced
there would not be enough dogs
to go around-and momentarily
a sigh of CONSERVATION went up
only to be swallowed up by the
outbursts of joy that greeted the
announcement of the new owners
of the dogs.
And then bedlam broke loose as
the dogs were led by the children
into the yard for the photog-
raphers. The barking creatures
gave vent to those pentup emo
tions of many hours in the cage
and collectively they yipped their
cacaphonous chant of freedom.
Overemotional dogs got beyond
their own control. knocking over
children and jumping up at the
groWn-upS.
But nobody seemed to mind
these canine performances of
joyous expression-for they knew
the inarticulate bruteS were
merely trying to say:
Merry Christmas and thanks
for giving us a home"

Youngsters Are Made Glad by YowIing Gifts
From Poundmaster, and Joyous Pooches
Escape Doom of LethaI Chamber

Two days before Christmas and
all through the pound there was
nothing but silence, not even a
hound.
twenty-five excited pooches
howled their song of gratitude
yesterday as happy children led
them from their temporary home
in the District pound.
The % dogs-they barely es-
capped a lethal death for Christ
mas presents-Were given the
children through the generosity
of two washington citizens: F.
G. Edmonds, 900 block Fifteenth
st. N. w., and Brig. Gen. and
Mrs. Daniel Bradford Devore,
1000 block Twenty-fourth st.

Pound Master Lonely
And Walter R. Smith, pound
master, is somewhat puzzled-for
it doesn't seem like the pound
today-since not one pet remains.
Smith said today:
'It will: seem funny for the
Eext few days not to hear the
usual bowling and barking.
While these cries are only
noises to the average person.
they are music to me. 1 have
grown so accustomed to them
that they have become part of
my life"
But to get back to the chill
dren-it was great day for them.
Few had the 50 required to take
dog from the pound. The I'M

LICENSES,
FOOD PROBES
ON SLATE
Return of Federal Pay Cut Is
Among Many Matters to
Get Prompt Action

Senate action on several mat
tiers directly affecting the Dis
trict of Columbia is expected to
be taken early in the session
opening January 3.
Although it may be as much
as a week after the Senate
meets that the District liquor
control measure will reach the
floor, the Senate District Commit
tee will be busy with this PROPOSE
ton from the time hearings start
probably some time next week
until the bill becomes law.
Two Probes On
Similarly, two other matters now
in the hands of the Senate Dis.
trict Committee may draw the
interest of Westinghouse dur
ing the coming week. They are
the Investigations into the bread
and milk industries here.
Reports on both of these sub
jectS may be completed and
made public during the coming
week. but the actual filing of
these reports with the Senate,
and introduction of bills which
may be recommended in the
reports will have to await the
opening of Congress.
Another m a ter affecting a
large group Of Washington resi-.
dents is the Government en-
ploye pay cut. Although the
House will have to act in this
matter first, members of the Sen.
ate no doubt will be studying this
item and expressing their views
from time to time.
Tax Change Planned
Meanwhile. Senator William H.
King CD of Utah, chairman of
the Senate District Committee,
will be considering whether or
not he can gain sufficient sup
port for his suggestion thai an
income and inheritance tax be
substituted for the existing in.
tangible taxes in Washington. He
favorS this substitution, but hest.
tates offering legislation to bring
about the change because of the
opposition which met a similar
proposal made by him several
years ago.
He also has indicated that un-
less the Public Works Admins
tration approves the application
of the District for grant and
loan for the construction of the
first unit of the proposed Munic-
ipal Center here, he may seek
to have the plans changed so as
to call for a less pretentious
building to be financed by Dis
trict funds entirely.

S207,875 P AID
CWA WORKERS

To 1854 workers on the Civil
Works Service rolls was paid

such types of work as cannot be
included under the CWA programs
because they are not con
structive." This money comes
from relief funds.
Approximately $4,000 was dis
bursed in direct relief to the 2,423
persons left on the relief rolls
here. The bulk of relief cases
has been transferred to CWA or

BANKROBBERS
ELUDE POLICE

Police of Washington, Balti-
more and Philadelphia continued
search today for the gang of five
bank robbers who yesterday
robbed the Calvert Bank branch
in West Baltimore of $14,100.
One of the two licenses on the
gangs car was listed to a Wash.
1ngtonian and it had been stolen
two months ago.
No trace of the gang, believed
to operate in the three cities, has
been found. Baltimore police
were quoted as saying they be-
lieved it the work of out-of-town
gunner, brought in by local
"fingermen," who planned the
job. They would not confirm a
report that the police photograph
of a New York gunman had been
identified by witnesses.

Cold Freezes
Whistles In
~ T. HdrbOr

NEW YORK, Dec. 90 G.N.S).
Manhattan shivered today in
freezing temperatures. But New
York harbor was really COLD.
So cold, in fact, that the
whistle of the French liner
Champlain developed a "sore
throat" and could only wheeze
hoarSely as the liner came up
the. bay. The Champlain had
great difficulty warning small
craft out of her way.
The customs cutter Raritan
was in worse shape. Loaded
with immigration officials and
newspaper men, she sought to
halt the Champlain at Quaran-
tine but her whistle wouldn't
work. The Raritan chased the
liner all the way to the Bat
terry, and every time her whis-
tie croaked, it took so much
steam the cutter lost speed and
fell far behind.

 RANGE OF ALASKA COLLEGE
(Farthest North Collegian.) ]

(Farthest North Collegian.D
 The muskOxen have been muved from the summer range on the Gold stream ridge to the fan and winter feeding grounds on the tundra east of the College.
 The biological survey patrolmen re- port the bears very numerous and troublesome. It seems the bears en- joy climbing on the fence and tearing it down so that they can worry the stock.
 On the shore of one of the Gold stream lakes the remains of a year ling moose were found. It had eVi- dently been killed by a bear while feeding on the lily pods in the lalxe. The bear had apparently sneaked up through the heavy timber surround ing the shore.
 During the summer six bears, five black and one brown, and a large black timber wolf were killed by the patrolmen.
 The muskoxen have esummered well and are in excellent condition. The larger bulls have to be watched now by persons entering the pasture, as they seem to enjpy chasing men On foot.
