Roscoe Goodcell of the Automo-

and Capt. w. N Cunningham, head
or the federal free employment
service, were speakers at yesterdays
luncheon meeting of the Lions club
held at the Barbara Worth hotel.
Captain Cunningham, who has
Just returned from the earthquake
zone, spoke on the effects of that
lisaster, comparing it to the San
francisco earthquake which he ex-
perienced himself. He declared
that in the San Francisco earth
quake, the ground actually opened
while at Long Beach the earth
shook violently but did not open.
He particularly stressed the psy-
Geological effect of the Long Beach
quake, the effect on peoples minds
and the great mental strain that

he stated that next to a building
which had been utterly destroyed

Praises Missionaries
He declared that the missionaries
from the Christian churcnes had
educated many of the Chinese and
brought the Chinese to a higher
plane of education. In explaining
China's resentment of foreign in
t-usion, he stated that the Chinese
originally were friendly but soon
learned the necessity of defending
themselves against foreign aggres-
sion. Germany, Russia, Japan and
England, on flimsy pretexts, went
10 war against China and demand
ed huge indemnities from the ma

NEW YORK, March Is. - One
million bucks
Fifty cents an hour.
A thousand a homer.
Nothing.
These were a few of the answers
TO a question-How much should
Babe Ruth get this year?-1n a
poll conducted among the 1000
Jobless residents of Gold Dust
Lodge by the Salvation Army.
When all the ballots were in and
an average struck, it was found
that the gentlemen Of Gold Dust
Lodge, whose present income Is
SOC. 100000, believed that the YAM
kee slugger should receive S48 999 .03
ror his 1898 services. This is Just
$1,000 less than Colonel Jake Rup-
pert's offer.
In addition to the 1887 voters
whose estimates were included in
the average. l8 were of the opinion
that Ruth was entitled TO ''all he
can get" Two gold busters answer
ed with give him $1,000 a year.
That's all a man who never has
done a useful days work in his
life is worth"
Another chap-Probably an old
Red Sox pitcher-wrote give him
nothing and put him in Jail. A
fellow who signed his slip "Just a
fan for all sports in all fields of
life" was of the opinion that Babe
should get slo0,000O00, despite
Andrew Carnegie's warning that

One gold duster said Ruth should
get Just what he did last year. and
then went on 10 explain why.
If Ruth's pay Is cut. he wrote,
the money saved will go to Colonel
Rupert. and what does Colonel
Rupert need with more money
He's already got millions. and in
addition has n brewery where he
can sit all day and drink beer if
lie wants to. I've got so sympathy
with a man in that position
Some Of the other answers were,

the highest I ever got" same as

Another one of the questions. in
the poll was "in view of the fact
that the baseball owners have cut
players salaries. do YOU believe
they should also cut admission
pIices?"
The great ma ajority of the voters
favored cut in price, with sug-
gested slashes ranging from Is 10

mis- former occupation as a piano
tuner, said that 25 cents should be
the top price during hard times.

RESERVOIR CONFLICT /
RENEWED BY CITIZENS
Northwest Residents Split Over Whether
Site Should Be Sunken Garden
or Recreation Center.

Controversy over whether the aban-
doned Sixteenth street reservoir should
be used as q sunken garden or rec
reation center sprang up anew last
week.
Upon learning the Sixteenth Street
Highlands Citizens Association had
appointed Edgar G. Snyder, United
States marshal for this District, as
chairman Of q Special Committee to
seek Federal funds for development of
the garden, the Citizens Forum Of Co
lumbia Heights instructed its Education
and Recreation Committee to present
to the Highlands group what 1t con-
sidered strong reasons for abandoning
the garden plan.
Opposition Steady.
Since adoption of a resolution two
years ago by the Highlands Association
expressing its "unalterable opposition"
to o proposal to. construct q stadium
on the reservoir site, the fight has
never ended.
"This citizens association" says Ar
thur e. Cook, secretary Of the High
lands group, always has been unalter-
ably opposed to any suggestion that a
stadium, skating rink or bathing beach
be constructed on the site, and the
only proposal IOr QeVelOpmeOL OF the
site which has been approved is one
providing for construction there of a
Sunken garden, visible from the Six
teenth street side, and with more
elaborate entrance to Rock Greek Park
by way of Morrow Drive"
The Highlands Association contends
construction Of a recreation center on
the reservoir site would create noise
and nuisance by drawing crowds un-
suited to the section.
The Forums committee will try to
show the recreation center would re-
lieve a lack of such facilities in the
section and that the parking nuisance
that would accompany the proposed
garden would be more annoying. The
Forum further contends the classes
using the center would be restricted,
whereas this could not be done with a
public sunken garden.
Highlands Plan Pushed.
The Columbia Heights Citizens As
sociation also favors a recreation prof.
ect for the SITE Members point out they
can obtain even the smallest tracts for
much-needed recreation sites only by
purchase or condemnation, and the
reservoir area is not only cleared but
is tax-free.

an interest in things Of the air that
began with kites, Mr.. Young took a
large part in developing flying interest
In Washington during plane pioneering
days, but gave It all up In 1912 at the
insistance of his mother who worried
constantly over his flying.
In 1898 he met and became the as
sistant Of Prof. Eddy Of Bayonne, N. J.,
who built large bow kites, flying them
in tandem and taking aerial photo
graphs.
From 1904 to 1906, Young accom-
plished the almost unheard-of feat Of
making flights in man-lifttng kites,
reaching an estimated elevation Of 600
feet.
In the wave of aerial excitement
which swept the country after the
flights of the Wright brothers, Young
organized the Aero-Scientific Club Of

The North Washington Citizens Joint

of about dozen civic and business as
sociations and clubs in Petworth, Park
View. Columbia Heights and outlying
sections, has also waged an intensive
fight to get the reservoir and all SIM
liar public land in the combined Sec
tions for development Of recreation
centers. The fact that such q large
portion Of the land Is already used
for recreational purposes Is one reason
the organization believes the center
project should outrank local objection.
In the past, the afiiliated bodies back
ing the recreational center appeared to
be getting the better Of the controversy.
A Special Recreation Planning Commis-
sion Of Federal and District officials
representing the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, the Board
Of Education and other bodies made

|ROSSLYNLEAGUE
CREDITED WITH
ROAD PROGRESS
BY a stafI Correspondent Of The Star.

BY q Stad Correspondent Of The Star.
FORT MYER HEIGHTS, Va, De-
cember 23.-Tireless efforts on the part
of the Rosslyn Precinct Civic League
are believed by its president. DR.. Victor
Meyers, to be largely responsible for
the promised construction Of the Will
son Boulevard approach to the Arling-
ton Memorial Bridge, the sidewalk from
Clarendon to Rosslyn and the extension
of Harlow avenue in Rosslyn, all of
which are to be done Immediately with
civil works funds.
While other organizations have joined
from time to time In the fight for a
county approach to the bridge, DR..
Meyers claims his organization has de-
voted almost its entire time to this
project for the past several years and
now believes it has brought to a close
q fight that should be of direct benefit
to the greater number of citizens Of
the county.
Although the majority of the men,
bers Of his organization were originally
in favor of the proposed Washington
street approach, DR.. Meyers said, most
of them are satisfied with Wilson
Boulevard and believe the Washington
street project will eventually be car
ried through also.
In the tight for the sidewalk the
RosSlyn Precinct Civic League was
joined by the Clarendon Citizens As
Sociation, both Of which organizations
are now engaged in obtaining the nec-
essary rights Of way for this project In
an effort to avoid condemnation pro-
ceedings by the county. When COM
pleted this will be the longest side
walk in the county.
A decided improvement in the Ross
lyn area Is seen by DR.. Meyers in the
construction Of these two projects and
the extension of Harlow avenue. and 1t
is hoped that further improvement will
eventually be made there by the Fed
eral Government in the proposed de-
velopment of the George Washington
Memorial Parkway.
