Mankato.-While 500 owners cheer
ed from the sidelines, the Legion's
grand turtle derby was run in six
heats, the winner taking 500 in prize
money. Some of the turtles turned in
the wrong direction, just as the race
was about to be won, so many of the
disgusted owners made soup out of
their contestants the next day. There
was drama IN the final heat when at
least 300 turtles, exhausted from
their previous efforts, lay idle in the
center Of the ring. The first to cross
the border of the large painted ring
was declared winner of the race, al
most causing heart failure to some
owners whose turtles crawled around
the edge without crossing.

TEAROOMDEF|ES
CLOS|NGED|CT

A spirited court battle over the
right of the fashionable Holton
Arms School, 21OO block S Street
Northwest, to operate tearoom
in defiance of zoning regulations,
appeared in the offing today.
The school started a tearoom,
known as 1.-THE Yellow Feather"
in the Octagon House, which it
had obtained for a kindergarten
and recreation center, with Miss
Elizabeth Williams in charge.
At first the tearoom was de-
signed for use of teachers and
students of the school. The zon-
ing regulations permit operation
of a school in the residential Sec
ton, and the tearoom was part Of
the school.
However, so officials say, the
facilities of the tearoom were soon
extended to parents and friends Of
the students and finally to other
outsiders. Then it was that sew
eral of the residents of the neigh
borhood objected.
Capt. Hugh P. Dram, director Of
inspection, says the teamroom has
been ordered to close. Miss vii.
liams says with just as much
emphasis that it will not close.

rants, and bona fide clubs"

be issued only ito persons of

D, {. BILLS

Formulation Of plans for future
action of the Senate District Com
mittee is being delayed by the alb
sence of Senator William H. King
D0 Of Utah, chairman, who is i'll
with a slight cold.
Although only a small number
of District bills have been intro
duced by the new Congress, it will
be necessary to arrange for hear
ings and this probably will be done
when Senator King returns.
One of the important bills re-
ferred to the committee is the
Tydings bill to legalize the manu-
facture and sale of beer in the Dis
trict.
Senator King also is expected to
hold hearings on the Mapes tax
bill to increase District revenues.

Of LEAVE
WORRIES J.. s.
employees
Status of Accumulated Time
To Be Made Complicated
BY Economy Law

Federal employees both here and
in the field are much concerned
right now over the fate Of any
furlough leave they may have &C
cumulated.
With the new economy act ef'
fective on April /, they are seek
ing information from Civic Ser
vice authorities and others as to
the status of such leave. Com.
munications are arriving from all
parts of the country.
May All Be Lost
On the basis of past experience
it seems probably that leave not
taken before April / will be lost.
That conclusion is inspired by the
situation that arose in connection
with the first economy act, which
abolished all annual leave with
pay.
Some of those employees who
had lunches" or second sight,
or possibly a bit of firsthand in
formation, managed to take a
good deal of annual leave before
July /, 1882, and got paid for it.
Others Out of Luck
Those who waited until the
normal vacation time for their
leave were just out of luck, for, by
that time, the economy act was in
effect, and leave was no longer
available.
OF course, Comptroller General
j. R. McCarl will have to pass on
the question of accumulated fur
Tough leave as it is affected by the
new law. It will be only one Of a
large number of rulings that he
will have to make and probably,
as was the case last year, a con
siderable sheaf of them will be
forthcoming very soon after the
law goes into effect,

Hurdle in the Way
Mr.. Offutt, a lawyer and

high hurdle to leap. That is
the local Democratic committee
headed by John F. Costello. The

why Colonel Harper intends to
take the Offutt petition straight
to the White House.
Judge Katherine Sellers, of the
District Juvenile Court, has an

Several other women are re

Legalization of the sale Of beer

The possibility that q District

near future was enhanced today
by indications that the House Dsi-

days.

Congress within two weeks.
Consideration of the District

81 Oranges to
Gallon of
Juice

Cocktail mixers who fail to
get 2A ounces Of juice out Of
their oranges are getting
cheated.
While not concerned with
cocktail mixing, the Internal
Revenue Bureau conducted an
investigation to see how many
oranges would be required to
produce a gallon of juice.
Fifty-seven was the answer.
Whereupon the bureau ruled
today that the 2 cents a gallon
tax on orange juice may be
computed on the basis of the
number of oranges used-60 to
the gallon, allowing three extra
for waste.
This applies to small reStau-
