That alone should make Gilbert and
Dorothy just about the most unusual
dance team ever seen hereaboutS, but
there are other things which set them
apart. Gilbert is Gilbert Kiamie, son
of Najeeb Kiamie, who spent the
early part of his years in this country
trying to sell American women on the
idea of wearing silk underwear and
the later part of his life reaping the
rewards from what every one told
him was a foolish idea.

Three Years as Team.
Their dancing career is three years
old and was started by Gilbert to raise
funds to fight through the courts for
a contested estate. When the elder
Kiamie died in 1888 he thought his
family, living in a 100000 mansion,

which was then estimated at some
thing in the neighborhood of s10,000,-
000
But there were difficulties. Court
litigation led the widow to charge
New York bank with fraud in admin
istering the estate. The Kiamies were
sure they'd win their fight for their
fortune. but meanwhile there was
slight problem of eating and such
things to be met and money was need
ed to carry on the battle in the courts.
So Gilbert Kiamie began to look for
a job. That was new experience
and it wasn't so successful, but he
remembered that he liked to dance.
He always had liked to dance. His
first job had been in the movies. doing

M Man, 73, Climbs Into Tree
In Rain to Sare Robins Life
Bird Caught in Moose
of String While
Building Nest.
Retired Zooa Employe
Goes to Rescue That -,
Boy Euaded.

A nest-building robin was saved
from hanging today by a 73-year-old
former Zoo employe who, despite his
200 pounds and leg partially dis
abled by illness, clambered into the
soaked branches Of a tree to re-
lease the bird from a string moose in
which it was strangling to death.
The rescue was made by John G.
Dellinger, 40O7 Fourth street, after a
schoolboy had refused to climb the
tree with the explanation: "My shoes
are wet, and it's too slippery up there.
Besides, it's too high"
Dellinger, WHO was retired in 1884
after Al years service at the Zoo, had
been watching the robins progress in
building its home for several days.
This morning his wife looked out q
window and saw the bird fiuttering
weakly. She called to her husband,

Mrs. Dellinger said. But ! couldn't

Placing the ladder against the tree,
Dellinger climber into the branches
and up about IS feet. When he
reached the robin it had ceased fiut-
tering. Loosening the string, which
had caught on limb near the nest,
he released the bird, put it in his coat
pocket and climbed down.
The Dellingers took the robin into
the house, bathed it and gave it
drink. Dellinger decided it needed
air and took it out on the front porch.
where it revived. Then it flew back
into the tree.

A fairly agile reporter tried to recap

BOY INJURED HERE
WHEN HIT BY BUS
Driver Faces Quiz in Death
of Youth Knocked
Off Bicycle.

A 16-year- old boy was seriously in
jured today when struck and dragged
80 feet by a Capital Transit Co. bus
at Wisconsin and Nebraska avenues.
Meanwhile, a coroner's jury was to
inquire into fatal injury Of 21-year-
old William Spirer, who died at Emer-
gency Hospital late yesterday after he
was knocked off his bicycle Sunday at
Columbia and Ontario roads by an
automobile operated by Wilford c.
White, "a, of the 5000 block Of Warder
street. Spirer was a messenger boy.
The youth hurt today was Gardner
Darby of 3510 Macomb street Wit
nesses said he got off the rear end
of a street car and darted from the
safety zone into the path of the bus.
A passing motorist, George Dieffen-
bach of 5315 Nebraska avenue, took
the boy to Georgetown Hospital.
The bus was operated by Paul
Hughes of 1922 Wisconsin avenue. No
charges were placed against the driver.
In the fatal accident police charged
that White, after striking Spirer,
stopped, but left without making
his identity known. White was
later arrested in the $500 block
of @ street and was released on bond
after being charged with leaving the
scene of an accident.
A report by the police homicide
squad said the messenger boy was
picked up 40 feet from the point of
impact.
1t was ordered that White be re-
arrested and held for the coroner after
Spirer's death.
Meanwhile, police today received re-
ports of two other traffic victims. Elsie
Goodwin, AZ, colored, of 1885 Sixth
street. was in Emergency Hospital suf-

SENATE APPROVES
D. c. AIRPORT BILL
WITHOUT DEBATE
Appropriation of $4,000 Is
Allotted to Employ Ex-
pert Advisers.
FUNDS FOR ACQUIRING
OPTIONS ELIMINATED
Commission of Nine Members to
Select Site Here or in Nearby
Territory.

Without debate or record vote the
Senate today approved an amended
District airport bill which had been
reported only a few minutes earlier by
Senate and House conferees carrying
a $4,000 appropriation.
'The action is expected to break
many months of dispute over the local
airport situation unless the House
balks on an amendment splitting the
cost between the Federal and District
governments.
A House fight over the $3.50 ar
rangement last month resulted in final
rejection of the Senate measure and
the new draft completed today.
The authorized appropriation was
cut to $4,000 from 100000, and in
taking this action the conferees agreed
to eliminate all funds for the acquisi-
ton of options on any proposed air.
port site. The $4,000 will be used to
employ expert advisers to assist an
airport commission Of nine members
in selecting an airport site in the Dis
trict or in nearby Maryland or Vir-
ginia.
Can Only Recommend Site.
The commission is to be composed
of three Senators and three members
of the House and three members to be
appointed by the Senate. AS amend
ed, the measure leaves the commits
sion powerless to do more than rec
ommend site to Congress. 1t is the
hope of sponsors of the measure that
the commission will be able to make
its selection in time for Congress to
act before adjournment, now tenta-
lively scheduled for about June /.
If Congress approves the site chosen
by the commission an effort will be
made to rush through an appropria-
ton so that land may be purchased
and construction work started during
the Summer.
District airport legislation has been
considered by Congress during each
session since 1926. The present bill
is the result of months of work by a
House subcommittee which examined
scores of sites and held hearings over
a period of several months. The SUBJ
committee, after rejecting the Gravelly
Point airport site, agreed on meas
ure providing for appointment of
two commissions, one to select a site
and another to construct and operate
an airport.
$2,500,000 First Authorized.
An appropriation of s2,5o0,o00 was
authorized. This bill was passed by
the House nearly a year ago. with a
stipulation that the District should
pay the entire cost of the project.
The Senate amended the bill by
reducing the appropriation to $780,
900 and eliminating the second COM
mission. 1t also split the cost be-
tween the Federal and District gov
ernments. In this form the bill was
approved unanimously by the Senate

~ KLAHOMA CITY. Okla, April
9.-Oklahoma City officials,
\ particularly well pleased with
~ the $225-a-day income from
parking meters, are enthusiastic about
the 'Pay-a-nickel-to-park" machines
they installed as an experiment on
downtown streets nine months ago.
There are two outstanding reasons
why the city officials have hailed the
parking meters a success.
One is the income, expected to be
$50 900 for the year. The other is
that. in the opinion of City Manager
Orval Mosier, parking meters have
solved the downtown parking problem.
"The meters have rid us Of the
parking hog, who always hoped an
officer wouldn't come by and hang q
tag on his car. and have made enforce
ment of parking regulations more eff
cient and economical" said Mosier.
