Adventure Club

AS we hoped q number Of our
members took our advice dur
ing the "King Kong coloring
contest and visited the museum
where they saw the fozzil bones
Of these strange and fearsome
creatures Of the long ago.
We had a particularly inter.
eSting little letter about them
from Amelia Rembold, 225 K
st. N. w. Amelia's mother took
her and her two sisters, Louise
and Berandine, to the museum
and they all three wrote us
about it.
Here is Amelia's letter:
"The other day 1 visited the
museum and saw the skeletons
Of these prehistoric monsters. I
wondered lots about them. The
pictures were there but not In
color and so I was left to my
own imagination.
Louise said let's 60, there Is
nothing but bones here I am
sure this contest has helped Us
to clear up our ideas about dino
saures and tyrannasaures.
81 find the Adventure Club
very interesting. Please excuse
the fact that I am writing in
pencil. Baby Agnes, age three,
dumped my ink out"
Their mother, the Rembold
children say, is delighted with
the interest they take in the
Adventure Club as it keeps
them off the streets.
We wish We had room to
write LOTS about those wonder
full prehistoric creatures. And
we again urge you to go to the
museum and see them.

CLUES ARE SCARCE
IN LONG DROWNING
Police Check Carrier Boys Route
List in Search of
Some Lead.

Investigation Of the drowning of
Francis Long was centered today in a
canvass Of the 13-year- newspaper
carrier boys customers, in the hope
some of them might be able to provide
clue as to his movements after he left
his home, 1913 Tenth street, ostensibly
to make collections.
Detective Seress. Jerry Flaherty and
John w. Wise, assigned to the case by
Detective Sergt. George E. Darnall, act
ing chief Of che homicide squad, admit
tedly faced dearth Of clues as they
continued their check of the youngsters
route list.
The detectives scoffed at reports a
man and boy seen in a canoe in
Washington Channel during the Presi-
dents Cup regatta had any connection
with the case.
"All we know definitely" said Fla
herty. sis that Francis left home yester-
day a week ago and that his body
turned up six days later, floating around
in the channel, near the foot of Twelfth
street. His movements after leaving
home are complete mystery.
"One boy told us he and two girls
saw Francis in store near Eleventh
and M streets. The proprietor, who
knew Francis pretty well, denied the
boy had been in the store, and the girls
also declared they had no recollection
of having seen him"
After a requiem mass in Immaculate
Conception Church yesterday, Francis
body was taken to Baltimore for burial,
Rev. John K. Cartwright, new pastor of
the church, conducting the services.
Francis, an altar boy at the church, had
planned to become priest.

| TO FALL INTO LINE
Must Join One of Two ASSo-
Citations, Paper Just Filed

PREPARED TO OPPOSE
DEMANDS AT HEARING
New Classification Also Offered
Suggesting Basic Rate Lower
Than Present.

Independent milk dealers In the Dis
trlct will be forced to join either the
Washington Dairy Council or the Mary
land-Virginia Milk Producers Associa-
tion under provisions of a proposed
code filed by the association with the
Agricultural Adjustment Administration.
The code also proposes a new classifi-
cation of milk, for which a basic rate.
lower than the present rate, will be
paid, but at the same time grants an
increase in the resale price The net
result, according to Elwood H. Seal,
special counsel for the Senate milk in
vestigating group will mean less profits
to producers.
Independent producers and distribu-
tors conferred with Mr. Seal today and
prepared to oppose the code when a
hearing is called by the Farm Ad-
ministration.
Under the proposed code, the Wash
lngton Dairy Council now an educa-
tional organization, will become a CEN
trail brokerage for producers and dis
tributors. The proposed requirements
would put the small dealers on the
same footing as those in the National
Dairy Products Co.
ton Dairy Council are Chestnut Farms
Dairy, Thompson Dairy, Arlington
County Dairy, Chevy Chase Dairy and
the Maryland-V Virginia Milk Producers
Association.
By setting up three classes of milk
Mr.. Seal said. and forcing membership
in the council or the association, in
dependent dealers will find a large part
OF their products forced into the third
and lowest classification. This would
force their average prices downward
considerably
Mr.. Seal also revealed today he has
found evidence of the sale of milk III
the District from farms not now being
supervised by health authorities. The
bulk of this milk, he said, is being
handled by smaller independent dealers
Just how widespread it has become. he
said, he has been unable to determine
Twenty Present Evidence.
Seal said he would present his evi.
dence of milk "bootlegging' to the
Senate Committee at the hearings to
be resumed Monday. He declined, how
ever, to indicate what dealers doing
business in the District are involved OF
what producers supply the milk from
unsupervised farms.
He also said the milk thus handled
in most cases. has been purchased in
desperation since, under present market
ing conditions, Independent distributors
have a hard time making both ends
meet.
This milk, he said. can be purchased
below the lowest basic price at present
and is used in bringing up the average
returns of the smaller dealers.

D. C, RELIEF FIGURES
RISE IN SEPTEMBER
Seven Per Cent Larger Number Of
Persons Receive Aid Than
Previously Reported.

Another increase in the number of
families and single persons receiving
relief in the District was reported for
September by the Federal Emergency
Relief Administration today.
The total rose during September from
1886 at the first of the month to
l3.808 at the end of the month, for an
increase of Z per cent.
At the same time the amount Of
public funds going into relief in the
District declined per cent, from $278.-
867 to S261 ,404.
The Districts trend in the number Of
families receiving relief is contraSted to
the country as a whole. figures for
which showed decrease OF per cent,
while expenditures for the country at
large were S per cent less.
Decrease in the number Of persons on
relief rolls throughout the country was
attributed somewhat to improvement in
the general business situation and also
to the increased seasonal demand in
rural areas for agricultural workers,
particularly in the cotton producing
areas

gerOus Weapon.

The wings of death brushed Police
man G. NJ Nicholson last night, but
left him alive, smiling and with only q
scratch to show for the encounter.
On duty in the first precinct, Nichol-
son and a night watchman, Edward
Bates, went to investigate complaint
about house in the first block Of H
street. They entered an alley and went
to a rear-gate entrance.
Nicholson knocked with his night
stick. After a pause some one called
out:
who's there?"
"Poliee." Nicholson said. II want to
talk to you"
There was slight scraping as prop
was removed from the gate. Then sud-
denly in the darkness the voice shouted
ITO hell with the police" and a gun
blaZed few inches from the policeman.
He felt sting against his chest as he
lunged forward to clamp on his as
sailant's gun hand. fling him to the
ground and disarm him.
When he stepped into the light again
Nicholson saw the bullet had plunged
through his badge, his coat and shirt,
only a few inches from his heart. His
only injury. however, was scratch
near the shoulder.
He took Thomas Rook. As. colored. to
the station to be charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon.
AS the officer reported the incident to
his commanding officer. the slug rolled
from his clothes and fell to the floor.
The badge was turned in to be used
as evidence The numbers "49" had

BIOLOGISTS FACE
4OPCT.PAY LOSSES
Three Month FurIough for
Survey Workers Seen on
Top of Salary Cut.

The scientific staff of the United
States Geological Survey is virtually
certain to get 40 per cent cut in this
years pay.
The entire force. numbering approx
mately 100. is prepared to take three
month furlough without pay, in addi-
ton to the regular reduction Of Is per
cent. Although there is a possibility
that the situation may be ameliorated
by future developments. the scientists
are adjusting their affairs to meet the
expected 40 per cent pay cut. and some
already are taking part OF their fur
lougfs.
The appropriation for the Geological
Survey was cut approximately 70 per
cent. starting June Is. About 80 per
cent of the expenditures are for sala-
ries. The first plan was to meet the situ-
alton by retirements Of older geologists.
together with the dismissal of approx
mately 14O employees from minor posi-
tions. A list of men to be retired was
made up and certified to the Civil
Service Commission, but this did not
60 through, although some OF the men
since have retired because of age.
Works Aid Is Expected.
This necessitated the drastic slashing
of the whole scientific staff in order to
meet the emergency, but with the enor-
nous public works program contem-
plated there is some expectation OF a
call for expert geologists from the Gov
ernment service. The 40 per cent slash
may also be modified by a few retire
ments and by designations which will
not be replaced.
Probably no other employe Of the
Government undergoes more intensive
training than the survey geologist who
must spend a long apprenticeship in
addition to a highly specialized educa-
tion before being given a permanent ap-
pointment, and in the past it has been
customary to devote a lifetime to the
service. As result, some of the most
significant developments in modern
geology have come from the work Of
this organization.
Because of the remaining uncertainty,
officials of the Geological Survey refuse
to discuss the situation, but it was
learned at the Interior Department that
it is virtually as depicted above.
Work Is Fundamental.
In many respects, outside experts
point out, the work of the geologist is
fundamental in the great Government
construction projects. as well as in the
search for mineral deposits, map-mak-
ing and similar work. A typical in

John MattarazzO, an inmate of the

enough without Secretary of Labor
Frances E. Perkins trying to make it
appear that he has been sentenced
twice.
In a suit filed in District Supreme

tary Perkins, who is seeking to deport
him to Italy following service OF the
prison term, has stated that he is sub
iect to two penitentiary sentences. Mat
tarazzo denies this, and contends he has
been sentenced only once, that being to
q term of IS years for attempting to pass
counterfeit money. He demands that
the allegation concerning the additional
sentence be stricken from the records
on the theory that it will hamper him
