Pilot Gains Weight
On Diet of Oxygen,
But Science ScOffs
Medical Men Concede.
HOiUerer, StrdtOsphere
Holds Revelations.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,

Associated Press science EQltOr.
NEW YORK, october 24.-A rare
person it Pilot Gritz Secor-he gained
19 pounds in few days flying with
an oxygen diet in the stratosphere.
Announcement of his experience
by the Fairchild Aviation Corp. sug-
gests that the oxygen did it.
Inquiry today among medical men
indicates otherwise and suggests a
whole panorama of interesting things
awaiting passengers in the sub
stratosphere.
Secor, at $4,000 feet making an
aerial survey in New Mexico for the
Department of Agriculture Soil Con-
servation Service, inhaled oxygen for
q short time daily.
Persons who are i'll live in heavy
oxygen atmosphere in hospitals for
weeks and even months without gain
ing weight. Their illness might &C.
count for lack of weight gain.
But DR.. Alvan l.. Barach of New
York, who has made oxygen studies,
points out that he has had normally
healthy dogs living In a SO per cent
oxygen atmosphere for month with
out gaining weight.
The cabins of the substratoSphere
ships will have custommade atmos-
pheres. 1t is known that these arti-
fiicial atmospheres and pressures have
no effect on most persons. But rare
ones might show something unex-
pected-even to coming down heavier

WIDER STREETS
DEMANDED

Twenty Washington thorough
fares would be widened under a
program urged by the streets and
avenues committee of the Wash
ington Board of Trade. A tenta-
tive program, drafted by c. Mel
vim Sharpe and a subcommittee,
was adopted at a meeting yeSter-
day.
Some of the streets would be
widened to so feet and others to
80 feet.
Capt. H. C. WhitehurSt, director
of highways, suggested the cost
be met by tax on gasoline, add
ing an ideal time to launch the
project would be when pavement
replacement becomes necessary.
Because the District has the right.
of-way on most streets, the ex-
pense would be less than in most
cities.
A resolution was adopted urg-
ing Congress to extend and widen
Prospect Avenue from Thirtieth
Street to Foxhall Road Northwest.
Extension of E Street through
the Ellipse was said to be under
consideration by the District
Commissioners.

PHILADELPHIA, March 81.
Second Lieut.. Douglass C. Nc
Dougal, formerly of the U. S.
Marine Corps, today was walking
the streets of Philadelphia look
ing for a job. Son of a brigadier
general in the Marines, he was
discharged because he loved a girl
and married her in violation of
a rule against marriage within
two years after his appointment.
The former Marine officer ex-
planned his discharge was a by
product of the bitter quarrel be-
tween Maj. Gen. Smedley D. But
ler and Maj. Gen. John S. Rus
sell, recently appointed COM
mandant of the Marine Corps.
He added:

much. My career is shot. And
my heart has been set on the
Marine Corps since I was TO-"
He met his Wlte, MRS. HENRIETTA
Dolores McDougal, 20. in the
spring of 1888, while he was in
training at Quantico. She is the
daughter of Major Henry M. But
ler, now stationed at Portsmouth,
N. H. They were married after a
three-weeks' courtship. McDougal
said:
Neither General Russell nor
my father knew of the mar
riage."
A witness at Senate committee
hearing, called to consider protests
against McDougal's appointment,
was told the Marine commander
winked at the marriage violation
rule because McDougal was the
son of a brigadier general.

Marriage Ban Gusts

He was a bit puzzled as to
why his punishment should be so
drastic, since the marriage ruling
was drafted primarily to discour-
age elopementS by Naval Academy
graduates.
The couple have one child, Do
lores Carolyn. Mrs. McDougal is
keeping up brave front while her
husband seeks employment. She
said today:
"Sorry I'm married? OF course
not. But it's hard to be sud-
denly cut off from all the friends
you ever knew. You see, we were
practically brought up in the
Marines. All our friends are
children of Marines. Most of
the girls l know are married to

Feeding 10000 Elk

THE Federal Government is guard
ing q herd Of 10000 elk which
live in the jackson Hole section Of
Wyoming, but it begins to appear
now that what is needed Is to guard
the jackson Hole section from the
elk. Because of the restricted range
Of the animals, there has been found
insufficient food present and the ami
mals have been straying onto private
ranges with serious effect.
The complaints have been numer-
Gus and now the Biological Survey Is
seeking solution Of the matter.
Feeding problems have been
troublesome for years. Winter feed
ing Of hay at the Federal elk refuge
and at. State feeding stations has been
imperative in emergencies, but in
cludes some undesirable features.
Often it has been necessary to pur-
chase hay. The hay, however, is too
coarse and causes mouth injuries and
a bacterial infection that kills 500 to
1000 animals annually. Extending
the refuge area would help solve both
these problems, In the opinion of Bio
logical Survey officials.
After repeated losses Of forage and
hay, the ranchmen this year, says the
bureau, are forcing prompt action. Be-
ginning with a resolution demanding
relief, the ranchmen later threatened
to kill trespassing elk and were salts
fed only after promises Of compen-
sation by the State and with assur-
ances that efforts would be made to
expedite a permanent solution based
on studies and recommendations al
ready made by the Biological Survey
and others.

mained in ONCE for the almost mar
velous period of IS years, but not with
out having his accusers and his
troubles. He resigned on January %
1873. and was given two months extra
pay for his trouble. His successor was
Thomas P. Morgan.
Maj. Morgan as q boy and young
man had hard shedding. but in the
end succeeded in making name and
a reputation for himself. He was
born in Alexandria when that near
neighbor was a part of the Dis
trict of Columbia land may still be).
His father died when he was II years
Of age and he was adopted by an
uncle residing in Montgomery County,
Md, who employed him on the farm
and permitted him to go to school
during the Winter months.
At the age of Is he was apprenticed
to DR.. Howard, who conducted here
what the old-timer would call an
apothecary shop. In manhood, he
served in the Common Council and as
a member of the Board Of Aldermen,
became bank director and held other
important Offices. He left fine line
of descendants who are among our
best citizens.
Mai. Morgan must have been an
exceptional man, since his leaving the
police force was step upward. he

WILLIAM G. MOORE, who sue
ceeded Maj. Walker. was un-
usually popular. Like Dick" Syl-
vester, in early life he was a printer
and worked at the case on the ole
National Intelligencer. later serving
as reporter for that paper in cover
ing the proceedings of the House of
Representatives.
For years he was colonel Of the
Washington Light Infantry, a mill
tary organization that no old Wash
ingtonian will ever forget. He had
been offered the position before it
was rendered to Maj. Walker, but at
that time declined it. He assumed
command of the force December 8,
1886, and remained at its head until
his death, in 1898, when he was sue
ceeded by Richard Sylvester, who
had served for long while as chief
clerk Of the department. Maj. Syl-
vester left the service after having
held the ONCE of superintendent OF
police for II years, the longest time
any one had held this Office. After
leaving the department he became
chief Of police for the Du Pont Pow
der Co. and died December II, 1880.
Raymond Pullman, newspaper
man, succeeded Maj. Sylvester, and,
as the writer recalls it, he died few
years later of typhoid fever, when
Maj. Harry L. Gessford became super
intendent. The latter became q pri-
vate on the force in 1881 and rose to
be inspector before being promoted
to the highest Office on the force.
Maj. Gessford resigned his posi-
tion and went on the retired list at
his own request, but, like others who
resigned before and since, there was
very good reason for doing so, and
his real reason arose out Of the trafic
jam of November IL, 1921, mainly at
the Virginia end Of the Highway
Bridge, at the time of the burial of
the Unknown Soldier at Arlington
National Cemetery.
Upon this occasion President Hard
ing had great difficulty in reaching
thA cemetery and had to leave the
road and drive over fields in order to
get there on time to perform his part
at the exercises. The President was
very much vexed over the matter and
did not hesitate to say so. The police
blamed the Army and the Army
blamed the police, sAd eventually
Maj. GeSSford was made the goat.
He accordingly rendered his resigna-
ton. and another good man was
placed on the retired list. Since then
we have had at the head of the Police
Department Daniel Sullivan, Edwin
B. Hesse, Henry G. Pratt, Pelham
D. Glassford, and the present super
intendent, Ernest w. Brown, making,
since the resignation Of Maj. Syl-
vester, seven superintendent Of po-
lice in 20 years.
The present superintendent Of po-
lice, Maj. Brown. was promoted to be
chief Of the department on october
20, l932-or about two years and q
half ago. His services have been
perfectly satisfactory to the people Of
the District of Columbia, who, un-
doubtedly would retain him in ONCE
were it left to them to decide, know
ing that better man cannot be had.

ranchers in this area have suffered
depredations Of the elk" said a petit
ton addressed to the Biological Sur
vey, the State Game Commission, the
Governor of wyoming and members
Of the States delegation in Congress.
Each year our fences are torn down,
the posts broken of and the wire
tangled or dragged away; each VIM
ter our hay stacks are broken into
and the hay eaten or trampled under
and every Spring and Fall our pasture
lands are grazed Off by elk drifting
between the Winter feed grounds and
the Summer ranges and our Spring
crops are trampled out. For this dam
age we have never been properly re-
imbursed and several ranchers and
homesteaders have actually and liter
ally been driven from the country be-
cause they were unable to cope with
the elk situation"
Thousands of elk" the petition
concluded, ARE even now overrunning
our lands, and because Of the great
shortage Of feed and the weakened
condition of our own animals, due to
the long Winter, the situation is criti-
cal and we demand immediate and
absolute relief"
This petition was followed two days
later with a threat to kill the elk on
private lands unless this condition Is
changed inside of three days"
Richard Winger, q member OF the
State Game Commission, called q
meeting and obtained an estimate Of
damage claims. Gov. Leslie P. Miller
found 1t possible for the State to
provide $4,000 to pay damage claims.
The ranchmen withdrew their threats,
but insisted On prompt action.

Tulip Argument Opens.

THE annual argument over the ques-
ton of how often tulips should
be dug up is again in full sway. Some
experts are inclined to leave the
bulbs in the ground for several years
before digging them and separating
them
The majority, however, believe that
the bulbs should be thinned out every
two years.
They should not be disturbed, how
ever, until the leaves have wilted and
turned brown. When this period has
been reached the bulbs are ready to
be dug, dried in the sun and put
away for Fall planting.
