NICE WEATHER.
FOR CROCODILE

It may be cold outside, to you,
but you can't fool Joe-pardon,
Josephine!-into believing tn t
it's winter.
Josephine, lady with lovely
teeth, is one of the playmates of
DR.. William Mann, at the Zoo.
Changes Her Name
To make her feel perfectly at
home, the doctor has given her a
house which is kept heated to a
temperature of Sc degrees, no
matter how cold it gets elsewhere.
Tropic palms, ferns and other
plants found in the swamps and
creek bottoms favored by croco-
diles in their native habitat, keep
her company. And now and then
which is why they changed her
name-she lays couple of dozen
eggs.
Until that happened the keep
ers called her Joe. It was several
years after her arrival at the rep
tile house before she revealed her
true nature.
Get Another Crop
Now. she is given a special
mound of vegetation on which to
deposit all the eggs she desires
to present to her admiring hosts.
About two months after the eggs
appear the Zoo finds itself in
possession of another crop of
lizard like alligators.
Children of all ages flock to
Josephine's private pool to gaze in
awe at her gaping jaws.
Josephine-just Joe then-was
somebody's pet before she arrived
at the Zoo. DR.. Mann said all Of
the crocodiles at the Zoo, except
those born there, came as gifts
to the institution from owners
who felt that while it is all right
to have a little croc around the
house, a big croc takes UP too
much room.

ELECTR|CS STUDY
SHOWS LOCAL
RATES Low
Report of Federal Commission
Places Capital Among Four
Lowest Cities in u. S.

Washington, D. c., is limelighted
by the Federal Power Commis-
sion for its low electric light rates,
in a report covering the rates Of
the largest cities in the country.
The report goes to Congress to-
day. It points out that the Ma
tional Capital is one Of the four
cities to maintain low rates on
service for all classes of household
consumption, electric light, cook
ing and power for electric refriger-
alton.
The report covers only a part
Of the commission survey directed
by William E. Mosher. The en-
tire survey will present electric
light rate facts in every commu-
nifty in the United States.
Washington Second Lowest
Washington's lower scale Of
rates is shown as being next to
the lowest city in the United
States which is Cleveland. Wash
ington's rate for Is kilowatt hours
is SO cents and Cleveland's is S8
cents.
When it comes to 40 hours,
Washington stands third, with
$1.56 and Cleveland is still lowest
with $1.31. st. Louis is second
with SLAB. Other cities have rates
for this amount running up to
Miami's top figure of $4.18.
For 100 kilowatt hours, which
is higher than the average Wash
ington monthly bill of 80 kilowatt
hours, this city stands 13 from
the low level, paying $3.50 for
this amount, while Tacoma,
Wash, charges only $2.40. Jack
sonville, Fla, pays 81 for the
same amount. New York City
pays $5.55 and Cleveland pays
81 and is 21st on the list.
Survey is "FOr And Against
Advocates of municipally-owned
power plants can get both COM
fort and encouragement from the
survey. Lowest typical bills are
shown in Tacoma, Wash, and
Kansas. Kan, both operating
city-owned plants. But after
those two there follow six cities,
among them Washington, with
low rates from privately operated
plants. Cleveland, Jacksonville,
Fla, Columbus, Ohio, and Fort
Wayne, Ind, are the other cities
shown in the report as operating
their own electric light plants.
These cities show low rates for
small household quantities of
power, but extremely high rates
for large quantities. Washington
ranks low on all counts.

FEDERAL FUNDS
FORD.C.NEEDY
. NEARLY GONE
U. S. Money Available for Only
One Week Longer; $4,000
Families on Relief

With Federal funds available
for seven more days Of relief ex-
penditure, approximately $4,000
District families will soon be left
without a means of sustenance un-
less congressional action is speeded
on President Roosevelt's social Sc
curity program.
Federal Relief Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins granted enough
money to the District to provide
for families on relief rolls during
the first 10 days Of February.
After this date the full burden
will fall on the District relief ap-
preparation, which cannot hold out
more than one month.
Federal Funds Denied
The Distr let is hampered
further in its relief problem
through the lack of legislation
which would allow it to share in
the distribution of Federal funds.
Under the social legislation the
Federal Government would partici-
pate in the payment of old age
pensions to the extent of so per
cent of the payments by the
States or by the District. At pres
ent there is no District old age
pension legislation enacted, and
such a law must be passed by
Congress before Federal money
is made available.
Several District old age pension
bills are now pending before Con.
gress, but no action is expected
on any of these measures until
the national bill is passed.
List Is Ordered
The District Commissioners
have been unable to draw up a
list Of works projects due to the
uncertainty of the form which the
Presidents bill will take. It is not
known whether white collar"
workers will benefit under the new
program.
Heads of various District depart
ments were instructed by the Com:
missionerS to prepare lists of pro-
jects which might solve both the
local relief and unemployment
problems.
Under the new program it is
contemplated that direct relief
will be replaced by work relief,
and that persons of advanced age
and "unemployables" will be taken
care Of under a separate relief
Set-up.
However, if the Federal pro-
gram is not formulated into a
workable plan within the next
seven days, some persons on the
local relief rolls will be cut off
from both the Federal and District
aid funds.

ALLEY HOMES
WERE BETTER,
SHE AYERS
Local Officials Also FIayed
On Permitting EviCtions
For Unpaid Rent

Mrs. Roosevelt today severely
criticized the removal of alley
dwellers into houses more unde
sirable than those which they
vacated.
Commenting on her surprise
tour of alleys last Saturday, when
she was accompanied by Mrs
Harold L. Ickes, wife of the Sec
retary of the Interior, and John
Ihlder, executive officer of the
District Alley Clearance Author
ity, she made particular reference
to Marshall Heights in southeast
Washington.
Living in "Sheds''
She described this section
where numerous former alley
dwellers have moved because OF
the clearance of their alleys, az
a "semirural development" where
the residents are living in "shedS."
These people, she said, are
forced to carry water from wells
at some distance from theiH
homes. She cOntlnued:
I'm any alley clearance pro-
ject, it most be borne in mind
that when you take people out
of undesirable houses, you don't
want them to go ito more un-
desirable places. These people
in Marshall Heights are in q
worse condition than they were
before they moved"
Eviction Censured
Mrs. Roosevelt also critized the
methods of local relief officials in
permitting evictions of persons on
relief rolls for non-paymet of rent
She said some plan should be de
Vised for the payment of these
rents.
It is expected thai the local
alley clerance project will be dis
cuSsed tomorrow when Mrs
Roosevelt entertains the Cabinet
ladies at luncheon. Several wives
of Cabinet members made a SINH
lar tour of the Washington alleys
with Mr.. Ihlder on Thursday.

Abundance of Water Ideal for

And Ducks

Propagation of migratory water
fowl Is being encouraged through
out the State Of Minnesota by the
game wardens and members Of the
game and protective associations
of the state. Although there are no
funds available for this purpose, 1t
is hoped that they may stimulate
the interest Of farmers and sports
men of the various communities in
this project.
b. ]. Shaver, United States Game
Management Agent, a representa-
tive of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, who is in charge Of the pro-
lection Of migratory waterfowl In
Minnesota, would like to have sew
eral farmers in this community
engage in the propagation of wa
terfowl, especially ducks and
geese. He advises that sportsmen
buy the ducks and place them
with farmers who are interested.
Mr.. Shaver stated that Black
Mallard ducks are the best to
raise, as they will revert to the
wild quicker than any other spec
les. He also stated that good
time to get breeding stock would
be during the early spring.
With an abundance of waterholes
in this community, Mr.. Shaver be-
lieves that breeding Of migratory
waterfowl could be carried on with
great success, and advises pair
Of ducks on every farm which Is
