Nearly all adult terrapins are omniv-
orous. They eat snails, young craw-
fish, minnows, tadpoles and big bites
out of the larger fish. They spend
much of their time browsing among
the aquatic plants, and when resting,
they like to seek partly submerged
log and take sun bath.
Sometimes they find small island
of grass in their home stream, and
here several of them gather to loll
in the sun. The slightest noise sends
them tumbling into the water. Caught
where they cannot escape into it,
they quickly withdraw the body into
the shell, and remain so until their
curiosity gets too much for them,
when they stick the heads out.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.

1T is not so many years since not
the least OF the hazards Of land
journey was the terrible condition
of our roads.
Rutted, shifting with the sand,
even marshy, routes that oftener
than not were simply widened Indian
trails, the survivor of a trip Of any
duration over such roads was lucky
indeed II he lost nothing but his
time, temper and digestion.
Travel today Is comparatively such
a comfortable, fast, matter-o of fact
affair, that we are apt to lose sight
of the man who largely is responsible
for the happy state in which automo-
bile locomotion is accomplished.
1t is to John London McAdam that
we are indebted for the process used
in building the so-called macadam
road which is named after him.
McAdam first introduced his meth
DDS of road construction in Great
Britain in 1916. AS with all innova-
tions, it took considerable period
for it to really get anywhere. When
it was established, however, it gave
impetus to travel equal to the advent
of the steam engine.

Plans for the. three Municipal

the District Commissioners have
requested a 100000 PWA loan,
were approved yesterday by the
Fine Arts Commission.
Under the plans calling for
structures similar to the District

lice Court Building will be built
along Fifth Street, the Municipal
Court Building along Fourth
Street between E and F Streets,
and the Juvenile Court and Re-
corder of Deeds Building will be
on the northeast corner across

Joining the National Capital

the Fine Arts group announced its
opposition to the proposal to in

Mathematician Finds

The "send-a-dime" letter market

impossibility" of the chain letter
scheme.
Assuming a flawless sequence
for Six-name letter, 1925 people
must be contacted before the
name of a signer can progress
from the bottom to the top of the
list, according to Professor Lund-
quiSt.
It is calculated that by some
vagary of fate it is possible that
these 1925 might keep the faith
of their fellow letter writer's. But
the complications have only just
begun when this we'll nigh i'm

EXPLOITATION
Of NEGRO HIT

James w. Ford, Communist
candidate for Vice President in
1882, told delegates to the Ma
tional Conference on the Eco
nomic Condition of the Negro yes
terday that members of their race
are exploited twice as much as
white labor under the capitalistic
system. Mr.. Ford's address closed
the conference at Howard Uni
versity.
Mr.. Ford said that both whites
and negroes are wage slaves, but
that capitalists have used the
negro masses as a reservoir Of
cheap labor and have done every
thing in their power, with the
assistance of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, to prevent unity
between workers of the two races.
A message was read from Norman
Thomas, Socialist party presiden-
tial candidate.
The $50 delegates yesterday ap-
proved a proposal to hold a ma
tional Negro congress. No definite
plans were made, however.

TAXI LIABILITY

At HEARING
Rep. Patman Demands Data
on Accidents Involving
Cabs and Cost of Plan
Representative

Demands Of Representative
Wright Patman, chairman of
District subcommittee, for addi.
tional figures on accidents involV,
ing taxicabs and the cost Of liza
bility insurance today delayed &C
ton on the compulsory taxican
liability bill now pending before
the House District Committee.
At the opening of today's hear,
ings on the bill, William A. Van
Duzer, Director of Traffic. told
the subcommittee he was in favor
of the bill. He said:
II am very much in favor Of
cabs responsible for accidents
the same as street cars and
buses.
"This probably would reduce
the number of cabs. Cabs are a
problem in the congeSted areas.
Toward the end of Mr.. Van
Van Duzer's testimony Represen-
tative Patman requested that Rep
reSentative Henry Quinn, author
of the bill, bring before the COM
mittee a reputable insurance rep
resentative to give the cost of the
proposed liability insurance. He
also asked that a complete SEIZED
ule be presented by all taxicab
operators as to the number of &C
cidentS and the amounts paid out
by the operators for damages.
Representative Patman also de-
clared he was in favor of raising
the amount of liability suggested
in the bill from $4,000 to $4,000
or more.
Mr.. Van Duzer testified that,
on the percentage of accidents on
the basis of the number of miles
covered by all vehicles in the city,
the taxicabs were responsible for
less accidents than other types of
vehicles.
More Vehicles
Mr.. Van DuZer declared that
motor vehicles had increased by
$4,000 over last year and that
there is 10 per cent more traffic
in Washington today than last
year. He stated that the movement
of traffic on the streets was near
the Saturation point.
Representative Jack Nichols of
Oklahoma was the next witness
and declared that, while he was
in favor of the principle behind
the bill, he opposed this particular
measure on two grounds. He said
that this bill would protect the
larger operators and at the same
time punish the small operators.
He said the provisions of the bill
were too strict for the little fell

decided that if they went they
would attract too much attention.
There would be too many report

So, the clowns frolicked, the
trained animals did their stuff,
the man on the flying trapeze
thrilled the crowds. And there
were thousands and thousands of
children, eating peanuts and
gurgling with delight.
But the little children who live
in the White House were not there.
