The bank makes two types OF
loans, one on warehouses. packing
houses, and other buildings, and the
other on commodities which are in
storage. This latter type of loan
applies to commodities in a bonded
warehouse and is designed to pro-
tect the market, since it enables the
cooperatives to hold their products
until the market is able to handle
them instead of forcing them to
dump their products on the mar
ket at one time.
Friday morning the supervisors
will meet with Stokdyk in regard
to a proposal suggested by Super
visor A. Y. Preble that CWA funds
be obtained to build a county ware
house on the 40 acres of land own
ed by the county on the west side
of the Ell Centro-Imperial high
way.
In regard to this same idea, men,

Attracted by the chance to see
a real whale and one of the larg-
est of the kind ever captured,
hundreds of visitors are viewing
the big finback now on exhibition
here in a special railroad car on
the tracks at the S. P. Depot where
it will remain until Tuesday night.
The whale is more than SIS feet
long and weighs 60 tons. 1t figured
in a thrilling battle with whal-
ing crew near San Clemente Island
off the Southern California coast.
1t was not until small bomb in
the head Of a harpoon had been
exploded in his interior that the
gigantic creature was conquered.
In spite of the violent fight the
whale gave his captors, his massive
Imperial Valley press., 1933-12-18

bulk is in perfect condition and
has been preserved by a remarkable
demonstration of the embalmer's
art. incidentally, it required more
than 5000 gallons of the fluid to
accomplish the embalming.
A graphic illustration of the size
of the mighty mammal is provided
by the fact that the heart weighed
1886 pounds. while the tongue
weighed 600 pounds. Raising the
tremendous weight of the whales
body from the water required the
use of a powerful 80 ton crane.
The present tour of the whale
has resulted in an increase of in
tereSt in some of the battling facts
concerning the immense animals,
the largest of living creatures.

For one thing, a whale is the
greatest diver in the world, mas
much as he can plunge a mile be-
low the surface of the ocean and
remain as long as an hour at a
time without emerging for another
breath. AS far as known the whale
is strictly an air-breather, yet he
survives his protected stays below
the surface with apparently no ill
effects.
The trained flea circus is also
attracting plenty of attention with
the smallest actors on earth under
the direction of Prof w. E. Alex
ander as well as the 5000 year old
Egyptian mummy and the giant
octapus or sea devil fish. The eX-
hibit will be open from 8 a. m.

SEARCH FOR RARE WOOD
DESCRIBED TO MAS0NS
Thatcher Tells How Enough Cedar
of Lebanon Was Discovered for
Scottish Rite Temple.

ThekStory of how a member OF Con-
gress, attaches of the Commerce De-
partment and American consul con-
Quoted an intensive search for enough
cedar of Lebanon, rare sacred wood .
to finish a room in the new Scottish
Rite Masonic Cathedral at Louisville,
KY, and finally accidentally stumbled
upon six planks Of the lumber in an
old furniture makers shop in Beirut,
Syria, was unfolded last night before
the Chevy Chase Lodge Of Masons.
Representative Thatcher Of Ken
lucky, who presented to the lodge a
gavel hewn from sample Of cedar Of
Lebanan, told the story. He said he
was commissioned in April, 1881, by
Scottish Rite Masons of Louisville to
find the rare wood for their new
cathedral and that with the aid of the
Commerce Department and the consul
at Beirut, the six planks were located.
Thatcher himself hunted throughout
Syria for the rare wood, and said only
two or three trees still remained on
Mount Lebanon, the once dense forest
l.aving been wiped out.
The gavel presented by Thatcher was
in appreciation of the assistance of a
lodge member, Axel H. Oxholm, chair
man of the National Committee on
Wood Utilization of the Commerce De-
partment, in tracing the cedar of Leb-
anon for the Louisville Scottish Rite
Masons.

to Store.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, February 9.-Mrs.
Jesse w. Nicholson of Chevy Chase,
president of the National Woman s
Democratic Law Enforcement League,
was fined $40, with the alternative of
serving 10 days in Jail on each of two
charges of violating the zoning ordi-
nance and building an addition to her
store at ,Montrose without permit, by
Judge Donald A. DeLashmutt. in
County Police Court today. Sentence
was suspended on one Of the zoning
charges.
Mrs. Nicholson was tried Saturday,
but Judge DeLashmutt withheld his de-
cision, announcing he considered the
points involved very important and
would give them careful study before
handing down his verdict
The woman was arrested early last
month on warrants sworn out by Build
ing Inspector j. Fred Imirie. who
charged Mrs. Nicholson had remodeled
her store building on the Rockville pike
at MontroSe without proper authority.
Imirie explained Mrs. Nicholson had
failed to obtain a permit to erect the
addition and violated the zoning ordi-
nance by erecting an addition to a
commercial structure in a residential
zone without obtaining a. rezoning of
the property.
A public hearing on Mrs Nicholson's
application for commercial rezoning Of
the land will be held by the Board of
County Commissioners at Rockville
February %. A recommendation that
the application be denied has been
made to the board by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
commission, while the Bethesda Cham
Der OF Commerce has adopted resolu-
ton opposing the proposed rezoning.

MCDONALD SLATED
AS DEBT EM|SSARY
Reported Officially Listed
With Neville Chamberlain
and Runciman.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, February 9. - Premier
Ramsay Macdonald and Ministers
Neville Chamberlain and Walter Runci-
man were reported officially listed today
as the British mission which will go to
Washington next month to talk over
the war .debt.
An indication that this mission would
not remain in the United States long
was seen in the reported plans for a
preliminary delegation which would
leave for the United States next week.
1t was expected in high quarters that
group of financial experts from gov
ernment offices would return with Am
bassador Sir Ronald Lindsay, who is
leaving then.
While Mr.. Chamberlain's statement
that there must be. mo swapping" at
Washington seemed to prevent any pos
sible satisfaction of President-elect
Roosevelts desire for trade concessions,
the reported inclusion of Runciman a
the mission may alter these prospects.
AS president of the Board of Trade,
Runciman Is reputedly more familiar
with Great Britain's commercial prob
lens than any other cabinet member
and his word would carry great weight
in the British mission if tariff matters
were broached.
Sir Ronald spent most of the morn
ing in conference with Sir John
Simon, the foreign secretary, at the
foreign Office.
The next formal meeting of the "big
five" will be next Monday.

INTERIOR SUPPLY
BILL IS GIVEN 0. K.
Senate Rushes Action on
Measure Carrying Funds
for Institutions Here.

The Interior Department appropria-
ton bill, which carries funds for the
next fiscal year for a number Of insti-
tutions here, was ready for President
Hooyer's signature today, showed through
the Senate late yesterday in its smooth
est burst Of speed thus far this session.
In SO far as appropriations for Dis
trict institutions are concerned, the
Senate did not alter the figures set by
the House-$l ,092, 500 for Howard Uni
versity, $2T6,l3O for Freedmen's Hos
pital, and sl22, 200 for the Columbia In
stitution for the Deaf. The Howard
University funds were allocated as fol-
lows: Salaries. $4l2,500; general ex-
penses. S220,000, and for construction
and completion OF a heat, light and
power plant, S460, 900. The bill also
carried funds for the annual expenses
of st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
Little Time Is Lost.
The measure, which also contains
funds for all the Western activities of
the department, such as irrigation and
the national parks, was taken up at
noon and disposed Of at 6 pm, after
few interruptions.
AS consideration began Senator King
Democrat, of Utah urged wholesale re-
forms in the administration of Indian
affairs-a subject on which he has de-
lievered long address in each session
for the last several years when the In
terror bill came up.
II hope" King told the Senate, zone
of the first acts of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration will be to appoint some one
at the head of the Indian Bureau with
executive ability and courage enough to
undertake reforms and shake the dead
timber from an administrative system
that has brought disaster to the Indians
and cost them millions of dollars as
well as the taxpayers.
Assails Salary List.
King contended most Of the bureaus
expenditures went for increased and
extravagant" salaries, and that the
Government "has not been a very just
trustee in dealing with the Indians be-
cause of bureau use of tribal funds.
He added:
ut is a tragic. pitiful story, the his
tory of the dealings of this powerful
Government with the Indians, its wards.
The cost of the bureau has been excess
sive and unjustifiable."
He said about 100000 Indians were
under the bureaus care, with a per
capita cost of $55 or $50 for bureau
salaries, and assailed the Indian school
system as too expensive" for its
achievements.
