Battled-Scarred War Veteran Nurses
Flower Bed at Army Barracks
Private Moynihen's
Blooms Took Three
Years to Mature

Private Patrick Moynihen, so
is self-styled gardener for the c
Street barracks. In the rear OF
the barracks he has developed a
flower bed which has taken him
three years to cultivate.
According to Moynihen. this
work offers relaxation.
Although recent storms did
considerable damage to his flow
ers, Moynihen remained philo-
sophie. He said:
"The wind and rain practi-
cally ruined my flowers, but I
shouldn't kick. 1t also took
folks homes away from them.
/ think I'm lucky"
Ran Street Car
Born in Ireland, Moynihen
came to this country in 1889.
His first job was in capacity Of
street car conductor, which he
lost when conscripted for the
Spanish-American war.
Commenting on his Spanish
war days, he said:
81 guess / am the one per
son who didn't follow Teddy
Roosevelt up San Juan Hill,
but 1 saw service at the siege
Of Santiago"
Following the war he failed
to get his old job back, and re-
joined the Army, where he has
served since.
In World War
Then came active service in the
Philippines, Mexico, and the
world war. He said he was offered
a commission but refused, stating
that after the war ended his COM
mission would be taken from him.
He saw action at Chateau
Thierry, Belleau Wood and Sois-
sons. He was wounded twice
during these engagements but
said he suffered no permanent i'll
effects.
Private Moynihen, a veteran
of the "old school" Of Army
men, wears an old uniform at all
times, his patched pipe stuck be-
tween his jaws and his hat over
his eyes.

Asserting that the business ad-
ministration of the District OF
Columbia "has been for the last
20 or 30 years in a chaotic con-
dition," Frederick A. Fenning,
former District Commission, in a
copyrighted article in the New
York Herald Tribune yesterday
declared President Roosevelt Will
recommend a District Governor"
with a 10-year term.
The Presidents plans contem.
plate a complete reorganization OF
the MANAGEMENT Of the Federal
City, Fenning said. adding that
this acton is planned with a view
to eliminating the most I'M
potent form of government that
exists in any American city"
Groundwork Already Laid
Fenning pointed out that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has failed to ap-
point two civilian District Com
missioners; has transferred certain
activities, formerly done under
District supervision, to Federal
authorities, and has taken other
steps toward getting the situa'
ton lined up for definite recon-
mendation when the time seems
ripe for submitting it to Con-
gress." He said:
"The District as a cOmmun-
ity is destined to pass out Of
existence for it seems very clear
that the United States will
take over management Of the
National Capital and admins
ter its business affairs under
the Interior Department. Local
revenue, such as taxes, will be
paid directly to the United
States, and the general Gov
ernment will assume all Obli-
cations for the conduct of the
city"
Fight Certain, He Says
He said that Senator King,
chairman Of the District Com
mittee, who has taken a definite
stand in opposition to changing
the present form Of Government
here, will fight any such pro.
posal as will Representative Nor
ton, chairman Of the House Dis
trict Committee, and other men,
bers of the District Committee.

FAIR PRICE PLAN
WILL OUTLAW
PROF|TEERS
Distributing Farm Products
To Needy Has Double Aim;
$75,0O0,0 900 Fund at Start

A new Federal agency, designed
to spend $75, 100000 to purchase
from the nations food and cotton
surpluSeS to feed and clothe the
needy, has been added to Admin
istration plans, and the formal
appointment Of Major Robert M.
Littlejohn to head it will be an
nounced today by Secretary OF
Agriculture Wallace.
. Within q week, this unit will
-. begin to campaign to put farm
prices on a parity with those Of
manufactured products. The op-
erations of Major Littlejohn's
. group will extend into every
. State.
4" Fair Price Plan
Creation of the agency is q
practical device to coordinate re-
lief work with the plans Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to settle the farm
question. Since there are agri-
cultural surpluses, the purpose is
to distribute them to those who
: are in need, at the same time as
surfing producers a fair price.
It will be a part of Major Little
Johns taa4. however, to protect
the interests of consumers by out
lawing profiteering.
Prices of hogs, cattle, cotton,
rice, wheat, corn and dairy
products are to maintained at
levels existing in August, 1909,
and July, 1914, according to pres
ent plans. Tobacco prices will be
adjusted to the levels of August,
1919, and July, 1929.
May Add to Fund
If necessary, the $4,000, 900 al
Iotted to this agency will be in
creased by further sums from
processing taxes and other Fed
eral resources.
Major Littlejohn is native OF
South Carolina and has been fis-
cal agent of the General Staff
Of the Army for about four years.

TIR RES

WHY take chances with
w worn tires when you can
save yourself time, money
and worry by replacing them
now-before tire prices go
higher. And you can't go
wrong on Firestones-they
are the safest and longest
wearing tires made, because
of their patented gum-dipped
construction and their extra
plies. That's why winners Of
the Indianapolis Speedway
Classic have used them for
the past 13 years.
And a Sherwood Service
Station is the logical place
for you to get tires. We have
all models, all sizes and al!
prices (even to meet mail
order prices).
Drive in today-let US
show you samples cut from
Firestone tires and compare

yourself. Call Adams 612O for

" don, the event was news In
at least two continents; for
La Dame De Sark is the first lady Of
the only purely feudal state remaining
in the world, the island of Sark in the
English channel.
Sark Is the fourth largest OF the
Channel islands. 1t lies 20 miles
south Of England and % miles from
the coast of France. 1t is three and
a half miles long and one and half
miles wide; and yet, because OF its
numerous bays and coves, it has 30
miles Of coast. 1t is the highest land
In the Channel islands.
The cliffs, rising on all sides almost
perpendicularly, are covered with in
Vulnerable varieties of rock plants and
flowers, while below are sandy bays
and wonderful caves, whose sea-hewn
walls are covered with seaweeds and
sea anemones Of every color OF the
rainbow. On the beaches may be found
semiprecious stones, such as anne
thysts, cats-eyes, and moonstones. The
island is not without minerals; at one
time mines were worked which pro-
duced copper, silver, anthony, and
galena.
The interior of the island is undu-
lating, with valleys full of wild flow
ers, and in the spring the whole Is
covered with a blaze of golden gorse,
blue bells, and primroses. No veno-
nous beasts live in Sark, not even
a toad!
On landing at the Sark harbOr,
which is one of the smallest in the
world, the visitor finds himself en-
tirely surrounded by steep cliffs, and
the only means Of access to the island
from there is by road passing
through tunnel 200 feet long, pierced
In the cliff, and thence by steep,
winding road which leads to the CEN
ter of the island, where there are
few small shops and four hotels.
The highway continues to La Cou-
pee, where the island is divided into
two parts, Great Sark and Little Sark,
Joined by huge natural causeway Of
rock nearly 300 feet high and 415 feet
long, across which runs road just
wide enough for one cart and horse
