Tattles ON Conductors
TELL-TALE MARBLE CHECKS UP ON FARE BOXES.

TINE Capital Transit Co. has in
stalled scientific tattlers in its
fare boxes.
The company for some time
has been casting about for such
n contraption. The answer was one OF
those things which sounds SO simple,
after some one else has though about it.
1t is a little marble, perched more
or less insecurely on a little pedestal
inside the fare box. If the conductor
should, through a lapse of memory, hold
the fare box upside down so as to let
some Of the fares slip out, the marble
falls from its pedestal, and all the
kings horses can't get it back. II
takes an inspector with a key to the
box to do that
The trouble with all Of this, as re-
ported by cne of the conductors, IS that
sometimes the marble slips off anyway
casting unjustified reflections upon an
honest working man. rough Jolt
while the bus is moving at fair speed
might do it.
When this happens. the conductoE
must make out a card explaining the
whole affair and calling for a new fare
box. with the marble in place. Ihe m
spectorS look over the reports ana keep
them flied According to Edward PAR
doe, head of the bus department, the
officials become quite suspicious Where
a single conductor is the victim OF 100
frequently recurring accidents.
1t is said one bus driver. the victim
of an accident which caused his marble
to leave its perch atop the PEDESTAL
called for new fare box and was given
a whole new bus. That way lies prog
reSS.
The whole contraption, marble and
pedestal, has been christened with an
unusually appropriate name. 1t Is
called a tell-tale.

REMOVAL Of TREES

Public Works $500, 1000 Prof.
ect Awaits Final Action
by Committee.
MINOR WORK EXPECTED
TO GO FORWARD SOON
Model of Proposed Development
Being Set Up in Navy De-
partment for Public.

The translation into reality Of the
$500, 600 public works development Of
the Mall still marked time today. al
though late yesterday Secretary of the
Interior IckeS bowed to the findings of
planners and artists and withdrew his
objection to cutting down trees, SO the
roads may be constructed. The project
is awaiting approval Of the Committee
on the Enlargement OF the Capitol
Grounds and the Joint Committee on
the Library
C. Marshall Finnan, superintendent
Of the National Capital parks. today ex-
planned some minor work is expected to
go forward shortly but the project will
not swing into full action until the ap-
proval of the two groups has been Sc
cured The Bureau of Public Roads of
the Department of Agriculture is await
ing action Of the Office Of National
Parks, Buildings and Reservations, In
terror Department. to award the con-
tract for the roads.
A model of the Mall which was ex-
hibted at the Century of Progress at
Chicago is being set up in the Navy
Building. SO that those who wish to see
can determine for themselves Just what
is proposed. Mr.. Finnan and his aSSo-
ciates hope by this method to stem
some of the criticism from tree lovers
that has been leveled against the whole
Mall program, because in order to build
roads trees must be moved or chopped
down. The model will be ready to-
morrow
Secretary Ickes personally went over
the grounds OF the Mall Monday with
Mr.. Fnnan and John Nolen. r.. dlrec-
tor of planning of the National Capita /
Park and Planning Commission and
saw for himself just what is desired.
He gave further study TO the plans for
the development and then late yester-
day sent word to the park authorities
that as far as he is concerned they
can go ahead But the matter is now
being brought to the attention of the
committee on the enlargement of the
Capitol grounds and of the Joint Com
mittee on the Library. Just when they
will act is uncertain at this time.

Feed, Ho,cerer, Is Of.
fered by Animal Res

It was the depression, although there
was no lack of feed, which Cancelled the
Animal Rescue Leagues annual dinner
for horses this year.
Since 1914 the league has been pro-
viding these feasts. with holiday trim
mings, for needy nags OF every degree
This year, however there was grow
ing sentiment that people might criti-
cize with so many human needs to I'LL.
Despite this curtailment the league
is holding out an offer to feed horses
of persons unable to provide for them
A donation Of grain and hay Tor this
purpose has been received at league
headquarters, II o street.
When calling for the feed, 1t was ex-
planned, it would be advisable to bring
the horse. Mrs. Truman Palmer. chair

ploy only competent men and women.
This is a relief proposition, of course,
but it also is a business proposition.
There would be no point to paying
artists to do things that were devoid
of usefulness"
From other sources it was learned
much Of the work being produced by
the artists is not entirely satisfactory.
The feeling of the committee is un-
derstOod TO be, however, that if only
one piece Of work out Of five is first
rate, Uncle Sam still will have gotten
his moneys worth.
The market price of one of the nurals
now being painted, for instance, would
be about $1,000. The artist assigned
to the Job is capable of completing it
in about two weeks and his salary is
$3.50 week. The saving effected on
this Job alone, the committee is under
stood to feel. will make up for any
mediocre work that may be done by
other artists.
Mediocrity Not Tolerated.
The committee has made it plain,
however, that mediocrity will not be
tolerated. Several artists now on the
pay roll, it is said have not proved
satisfactory. Because of the relief as
poets of the project, they we're not dis
charged forthwith. but we're warned
they would be given only one more
week in which to demonstrate their
ability.
Additional artists will be taken on
as rapidly as the demand for such work
warrants. Applications are being ac-
cepted at the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery. 1000 Twenty-first street All ap-
plicationS must be accompanied by

Duncan Phillips is chairman of the

tees in Maryland and Virginia.

With the hot lunch program well
launched, public school authorities to-
day were marking time as they awaited
approval Of their proposed plans for

to positions in each of the centers. BY
the time the Federal authorities ap-

to proceed almost Immediately with the

might result would be caused only by

Housing Division of P. w. A.
Reveals Property Prices
Rise Sharply.
WASHINGTON MAY LOSE
ALLOTMENT FOR WORK
Evidence of Leak Concerning Areas
to Be Sought by Delano
Group Is Found.

Washington is in danger of losing
its alley elimination and slum clearance
projects under the public works pro-
gram a result of attempts of local
property owners to profiteer on the
Slum areas, it was revealed today by
the housing division Of the Public
Works Administration
While refusing to reveal the amount
OF money contemplated for spending
in the National Capital TO show what
can be done along these lines. P w A
officials said it was a "sizeable sum-
and would be great loss to Washing
ton.
Prices Are Boosted.
Evidence that there has been leak
somewhere along the line on the areas
recommended by the local Housing Com
mlttee, headed by Frederic A. Delauo,
uncle Of the President, has been found
by the officials Of the P. w A. Emer-
gency Housing Corporation. These
evidences are reflected in sharply
boosted prices for slum properties dis
covered when the Housing Corporation
sought options on the areas desired
Unless, say P W. A officials. a sharp
downward revision Of prices on the
areas desired is made, the demOnstra-
tional program will either have to be
shipped into other areas or totally
abandoned SO far as the District IS con-
cerned.
Public Works Administrator Ickes has
declared that no attempts TO g0uge the
administration on the Washington prop
erty will be cOuntenanced. as there are
scores Of other cities clamOring for slun
clearance projects at reasonable prices
The sites recommended by the Delano
Committee have been carefully con-
cealed. it was thought. but undoubtedly
real estate operators and property own
ers have gotten word and have pushed
up prices to point where the Housing
Corporation considers them unreason-
able.
Conditions Are Deplored
The local situation has been very care-
fully studied and the project IS known
to have the personal interest Of Mrs.
Roosevelt. who within 10 days Of taking
up residence at the White House made
a personal study Of the local alley Situ-
alton under the guidance OF Mrs.
Archibald Hopkins, prominent Washing
ton philanthropist. who has been cam
paigning for elimination of Washington s
unsightly and inSanitary alleys and slum
areas
Horace Beasley. Of the Emergency
Housing Corporation, today depIOred the
conditions now confronting the pro-
pOnents Of the local program and said
there was very grave danger that the
P. w A. would drop the local projects
II local cooperation on the part OF
property owners and real estate dealers
is not forthcoming shortly.

 Indications that the youthful Brooklyn A.

The margin of vic- tory was plenty close. finishing 47- 45, with the veterans putting on a great spurt in the final period nearly knotting up the contest after being 15 points in arrears at one stage of the contest.

 The youngest and fastest team in the circuit this season went into the lead very cary and kept it to the bitter end, though they had their hands full trying to stave off the final rsh of the Tommies who gauined 20 points against nine for the ledaers within ten minutes of the last half. Boley, with 16 points was the standout while Maloney. Dunn, and Swasey were prominent in the Tommies tally. Dunn was held to a pair of field goals by close defensive play.
