CHINCOTEAGUE
TO HAVE RODEO
Plans for 264th Pony Pen
ming on July 9th Made by
Firemen at Island
THEORIES OF ORIGIN

With the opening Of the ninth
annual Chincoteague firemen's car
nival set for next Wednesday,
plans are being completed for
Chincoteague's annual wild pony
roundup and sale, to be held on
this Eastern Shore Of Virginia isl
and on Thursday, July 27. The
wild ponies, inhabitants of the bar
ren ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS coastal pen
insula, will be penned for the two
hundred and sixthy-fourth consec-
utive year. For the past nine
years the penning has been a fea-
ture of the annual Today fremen's
fete. The Chincoteague Island wild
pony penning ranks among the
East's foremost annual attractions.
Last year the annual event drew
over 25,OOO visitors from twenty
eight states, records show The
origin Of the tiny, spirited Spanish
ponies is obscured in the mists Of
history One story is that the
ponies were abandoned on Chinco-
league and neighboring islands by
pirates. who had no further use for
them Another. contained in Col
R. R. Creavy's "Grandfathers'
Tales of North Carolina History,
is that the ancestors of the ponies
were small Spanish mustangs,
brought to this country by Ponce
de Leon, who failing to locate the
spring returned to Spain, leaving
the ponies who beset by hOrdes of
insects worked their way up the
Atlantic coast to a better climate
Still another version is that the
original ponies were part of ship
ment on its way down the coast
from New England to Virginia in
the 1600's Local tradition has il
that a Spanish vessel was wrecked
along the Virginia seaboard in
1885 and that the ponies swan
ashore and remained to multiply
This probably is correct, for the
fieet-footed animals are of dis
tinct Spanish strain. Herds of
these small, wiry ponies, each led
by a fieet-footed intelligent stall
lion, run wild throughout the year
in herds of from Is to 20, along the
sea-swept beaches between Ocean
City, Md, and Assatague Island,
Va, their home isolated from the
Maryland-Virginia mainlands by
the wide Chincoteague and Sine
puxent Bays. For days before the
annual pony penning there, fisher
men don cowboy" outfits, scout
over the beach and locate the herd
The day before the pony penning
auction, riders drive the herds of
wild ponies across the marches and
creeks to Chincoteague Island. The
last Thursday in July each year
when the pony penning is featured
public auction is staged. The
young colts that are not sold are
then branded by individual owners
and driven back to the sandy
beaches. The only wild horse
roundup in the East is over un-
til the next year.

SLUM CLEARANCE
STUDIED At PARLEY
Chicago Conference Outlines
Future Cities With
Model Homes.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, July GA Nation with
our slums, Nation with cities filed
with healthful livable homes, was pic
tured for the future today.
Scores of students of housing and
slum clearance sought a formula for
clearing up blighted areas left by gener-
ations of industrial expansion. Their
laboratory was the First National Con-
ference on Slum Clearance and their
aim to rebuild urban America with a
sort of architectural surgery financed
with Federal funds obtained under the
national industrial recovery act.
THE slum condition is a disease
which does not tend to cure itself" said
one of the first speakers, DR.. Edith FL
mer Wood, chairman of the Housing
Committee of the New York Welfare
Council.
Every City With Park.
Like a cancerous growth, it tends to
spread to contiguous territory and to
become increasingly malignant. And
still like cancer, surgery offers the
best, if not the only, hope of cure"
Such was the thought, too, of Mayor
Ray Miller. IT believe the day is COM
ing" he said, when cities generally
will demolish great areas Of Improbable
buildings ana devote them TO recreatlon
and education. I believe that every
city will have its ceptral park"
He visioned time when factory
workers would find homes on the out
skirts of the city within walking dis
tance of industrial plants also located
there and Office workers would walk to
their desks from equally desirable homes
near the heart of the city.
Dr. Wood attacked slum areas as un-
profitable to their owners. an economic
liability to a city and the regions of
high death and sickness rates and "in
which the height of delinquency rates
becomes fantastic"
Will Curb Delinquency.
She asserted 21a per cent of a city's
total area is sufficient for business pul-
poses and 10 per cent adequate for all
forms Of industry and for railroads.
She cited statistics to show the rate
Evening star., 1933-07-06

of Juvenile delinquency was in direct
ratio to the density of population. "ha
eight representative cities" she said,
delinuuencies were distributed among
nearly half the population living OH
more than half of the area Of the city.
"At the other extreme, another
quarter of the delinquencies came from
less than an eighth of the population
occupying about one-flfteeI:th of the
total area.
1--WE have good reason to believe that
if we do away with slums and estab-
lish their former residents in better en-
vironment we shall substantially i'm
prove public health and greatly dimin-
ish juvenile delinquency"

 He gave a short laugh. q said, What the something are you doing here?' and he dropped the match, grabbed his torch, charged right in to the middle of me, and banged the door in my face before got my breath back. It makes me sound like a stiff, but he was most uncommon nippy. It was like trying to get hold of cat. I wish I'd seen his face"
 You didn't-when he struck the match?"
 No. He had his back to me. The whole thing didn't take half a min ute. As I stepped into the room. he dropped the match and butted me. hoped you'd seen him"
 What did he want?" said Caro- line.
 Jim looked past her with a strain ed expression in his eyes.

 While the temperature in ~the basin was only 6 degrees above zero, the wind was not as strong there as in Juneau proper, accord ing to Fred Huntress, President of the outdoor group.

 "rm afraid that doesn't prove anything. A crook might have very good reasons for not giving away specimen of his handwriting. You didn't get hold of anyone who could describe him ?"
 q tried,' said Caroline. q did try, Jim. But the woman at the address he gave said she never took men lodgers, so he must have given a false address. Then I tried Nesta Williams place. Her landlady was terribly chatty and all that, but as she never set eyes on Nesta's young man it wasn't much good"
 Jim sat leaning forward on the bed, his elbows on his knees and rather blank look on his face. It was as if he had put up his shutters and behind them were setting out Caroline's puzzle pieces. They fitted into the bits that Nesta had given him and the bits which he himself had been able to produce.
 Up to the time of his landing his memory was perfectly clear. There was six weeks gap. The pieces fitted into the gap. He had landed on the first of July. He might have married. Nesta Williams on the twenty-fifth.
 If between the first and the twenty-fifth he had run off the rails and conceived the crazy idea of rob bing Elmer Van Berg, he would prob- ably have taken steps to cover his tracks. Why, even if crazy, he should have married Nesta Williams was beyond him. He reckoned it as form of suicidal mania and left it at that.
 I've got heaps more to tell you, Jim" said Caroline. She began to pour out the story of her interview with Mrs. Rodgers. T didn't know that I was going to follow her. but when she got out of the train, some thing just yanked me out of my seat and pushed me on to the platform, and the next thing knew, we were climbing Meade Hill practically hand in hand, and was imploring her to tell me all"
 What did she tell you?"

Her eyes were as eager as a child's. The things that she wanted to tell Jim crowded together in her mind, jostling and pushing one an other for fret place. The last comer had it.
