The speaker was Steve Donog..
hue, Britain's little old man OF

British turf. He stopped off IN

for a few minutes, landing at
the washington Airport en- route

magic city where summer spends

Steve has a tentative engage
ment to ride Badruddin in the
Santa Anita Handicap, the $780,

is bidding for Badruddin, and
the deal may be closed today.

in itself. But there's the gold
whip given to me by His
Majesty George V, God bless
him. Yes sir, there was a thrill
getting that. And there was a
thrill winning the gold spurs.
How many derbies had he
won?
Four Out of Five
"'Arf dozen. And what's
more, 1 was lucky enough to
win four out of five, and three

Ducks Are Negligible
So far, the duck hunting
season hereabouts has been
complete flop. The weather has
been too mild for the favorite
hunting of thousands of sports.
men. Many have even failed to
take out their hunting licenses,
winter weather having been so
remote. This has affected SER
iously the nearby revenue from
the duck-stamp act now in
effect which levies a dollar tax
on every license for the upkeep
and feeding of game in the
margin lands and for the con-
servation of the species gen.
orally.
Speaking of ducks, Jack
Neale, pilot of the air line oper-
ating between Washington and
the Great Lake regions, says the
lakes are black with the feathery
tribe this winter, farther north.
He says it is quite tempta-
ton to not set his plane down
very often and lay for shot or
two at the myriad ducks and
geese which abound Lake Erie
in particular.
Ohio Has Ducks
Around Camp Pearry, Ohio,
and Toledo as we'll, swarms of
birds can be seen even from the
elevation at which the passenger
planes fly.
Neale told me a thing that
surprised me no little. He says
the canvasback variety averages
between IS and 80 miles per
hour when on the wing. While
an aviator in the Army, with
the instruments for making such
tests, some canvasbacks were
timed and their amazing speed
checked with such a result.

Well, that may be a good dis
ciplinary attitude on the part
of the commission, to keep its
referees under such subjugation,

of Washington are the final

dren.

Washington's new deal" in emer-
gency relief calls for the purchase of
a COW to provide milk for a family
of II, living in Southeast Washington,
which is depending on the District
for aid.
At a conference yesterday it was
decided it would be cheaper to buy a
cow than to spend money for the
purchase of milk for nine children
in the family, each of whom requires
about quart of milk a, day
The suggestion came from Mrs.
Clarence Carter, Southeast Washington
relief supervisor, and was approved by
Elwood Street, public welfare director,
and finally by the Commissioners.
Marion Hargrove. District purchas-
ing officer, received the first answer
to the announcement of the plan be-
fore he got out of bed this morning,
when Maryland farmer called to
ask what kind of COW was wanted.
Circular bids are being distributed.
stating the COW must be not more
than 4 years old, must be gentle and
able to produce the expected quanti-
ties of milk. The animal will have to
pass standard health tests.
The family on relief lives on a large
tract suitable for grazing and the
plan calls for planting of seed so that
fodder for the COW may be raised.
Bids will be opened Thursday. Har-
grove expects the cost will run
about $35.

being deprived of his counsel, and that
we also record our gratitude for the
many services he has performed" the
Chief Justice stated. II think the
Supreme Court Building will be last
ing memorial to his great ability which
placed him in the front rank of archi-
tects not only of this country, but o.

Gates Foul Play for
Missing Youth.

Police today were without a clue
to the whereabouts of Nelson G..
Thayer, % years old, whose disap-
pearance from his home, at SIS Rit-
tenhouse street, Saturday night was
followed up early yesterday by a
mysterious telephone call indicating
foul play.
Thayer's mother, Mrs. Charles G..
Thayer Of the Rittenhouse street ad-

5 o'clock yesterday morning, and a
strange voice inquired if Nelson Thayer
was her son. When Mrs. Thayer re-
piled in the affirmative, the man at
the other end Of the wire said:
Your son will be home, but not
alive"
The call subsequently was traced to
a Baltimore pay station, but there the
trail ended. Thayer's father, Police
man Charles Thayer of No. 6 pre-
cinct, enlisted the aid of Washington
and Maryland authorities in the search
for his son.
Thayer recently moved to his father
home with his wife, Mrs. Helen
Thayer. and their two children, Joan
3 years old, and Shirley, aged 8
months.

The bill has passed the House, and

Ever since 1908-for more than a

Why withdraw this protection at this

TRAFFIC CHANGES
URGED BY GROUP
West End Citizens Praise
Members of Bureau for
Accomplishments.

Several recommendation for bet
ter handling Of the heavy traffic in
the Northwest section of the city
last night by the Traffic Committee
of the West End Citizens Associa-
ton at special meeting held by
the committee in No. 3 precinct.
At the same time, the resolution
praised the members of the Traffic
Bureau for the way in which they
have handled the great amount of
traffic in the area south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and west of Fifteenth
street.
The following recommendations
were made:
l. That Eighteenth and Nineteenth
streets. between Pennsylvania and
Constitution avenues, be changed
back to two-way traffic.
2. That on each of the following
streets, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twen-
tieth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second
and Twentythird streets. from N
street to Constitution avenue, park
ing be prohibited on the west side
between 8 and 9:15 am, and on the
east side between and Sis pm.
3. That I street. south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue, between Twentieth and
Twenty-first streets, be made one
way traffic east, and I street, north
of Pennsylvania avenue, one-way
west.
4. That traffic lights be placed on
Pennsylvania avenue at the intersec-
ton Of Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twen-
tieth and Twenty-first streets, and on
K street at Nineteenth, Twentieth
and Twenty-first streets.
5. That the bridge on K street near
Twenty-ninth be widened.
1t was also urged that the plan of
making one-way traffic streets in this
section be discouraged as much as
possible. In urging the group to
favor two-way streets, George L.
Norris pointed out several examples
where streets had become dead"
streets as far as business was con-
cerned, after they had been made
one-way. He said he believes a COM
munity advances exactly in propor-
ton to the amount of traffic passing
through it.
The resolution will be forwarded
to Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer.
