Traffic Tied Up
As 2 Cars Battle
For Curb Parking
Nearby Driuers Stage
Came of Waiting, Half
In, Half Out.

Two motorists-one from Mary
land and the other from Virginia
waged a bloodless battle of passive
resistance for parking place on Irv-
ing street between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth late yesterday and created
temporary traff1c tie-ups for more
than half an hour.
One of them had tried to back into
the spot, just of Fourteenth. The
other tried to get the place by rum
ming In forward. The net result was
that both cars projected almost half
way into the narrow street.
Then the drivers sat 1t out. A wit
ness said they read papers and occa-
sionally looked at each other with
disdain. Quite a crowd gathered to
watch.
Why the stalemate ended nobody
knows. But it did-just a few min
utes before a scout car from tenth
precinct arrived.
The Maryland car drove away. The
virginian parked in the place and
Walked away.

tentioa of hunters. he is becoming
rare because Australians enjoy the
sport of running him down on horse
back.
In size the emu ranks between the
African ostrich and the South Ameri-
can rhea. His body is covered with
rich brownish plumage and neck and
head are feathered. The emu feeds
upon herbs. fruit and roots.
In the wild state the hen emu lays
six or seven eggs in a shallow nest
scooped in the sand. The male incu-
bates the eggs, like the ostrich and
cassowary.
The emu, when alarmed, utters q
faint booming noise or a shrill piping
note. He is a good-natured bird and
one readily tanned.

SWIMMING POOLS
WAIT ON NEST|MATES
PiIe-Driving Cost Figures
Are Being Drawn for
Two Projects.

Active construction on the founda.
tion Of the swimming pools in East
Potomac and Anacostia Parks Is
awaiting submission of estimates fol-
irving piles on . supplemental con-
tract, c. Marshall Finnan, superin-
tendent Of the National Capital Parks
said yesterday.
Engineers of the National Park
Service have completed drawings and
specifications for the pile-driving jobs
and the B. z. Construction Co. OF
New York, at work on the Anacostis
pool, and the Charles H. Tompkins
Co. of this city. doing the East Po-
tomac Park construction, are compil-
ing cost figures for the supplemental
work. Finnan said that the pools can
not be completed for use this season
He denied that red tape" has been
holding them up. terming the delay
merely an engineering problem.
Drawings Are Prepared.
Since former Controller General j
r. McCarl ruled that the National
Park Service might spend the $50, ,000
Public Works Administration alleca-
ton for the pile-driving as . supple
mental contract with the existing con-
tractors, the Government engineers
have been preparing the necessary
drawings for the altered plans. Finnan
k~ o,,thrvS1in~ 1a ,f6 l.
cial submission of figures for the new
job late last week and the engineers
have forwarded them to the two
firms concerned.
If the figures are satisfactory, work
on the foundations will be resumed
without delay" Finnan asserted.
The new type Of foundation, with
the use of piles, rather than concrete
mats as originally intended, was de-
cided upon as an added construction
safety factor, Finnan explained, when
the flood of last March revealed con-
ditions that made it desirable to
strengthen the foundations. Some
damage was done by the food to the
excavations, he said.
Must Go 80 Feet for Base.
At East Potomac Park, where allu-
vial deposits prevail. it will be neces-
sary to 60 down around SO feet to
firmer ground, when the piles are
driven, the park chief pointed out.
In Anacostia Park. however, solid
rock is expected to be reached around
II feet.
Engineers said yesterday that they
expect it will be "at least Q week"
before prices for the extra work are
secured from the contractors.

''If domestic science, agriculture and
animal husbandry are considered good

Musical Comedy Romance Stars Dolores Del Rio,
 Everett Marshall

Dolores Del Rio, exotic beauty, and Everett Marshall, radio, musical comedy and operatic star, are fea- tured in the Warner Brothers com edy romance, T Live for Love" :" which opens tonight at the Colis- cum Theatre.
 The story centers about Miss Del Rio, a temperamental Latin beauty and prina donna, whose stormy out bursts drive her Broadway pro- ducer frantic. Her impassioned love for a South American actor who cannot act, and her hatred for an American street singer, Everett Marshall, who later becomes a fav- orite on the radio, leads to compli- cations that wind up in an unusual climax
 Original songs were written for the picture by Allie Wrubel and Mort Dixon, and sung by Marshall Other music includes the Neapol- itan street song, "Ah. Marie in which Eddie Conrad and the vaude- vile and musical comedy team of Shaw and Lee join with Marshall in singing in humorous vein.
