HEALTH SCHOOL
BUS0FFERED

A philanthropist who refused
to reveal his identity has offered
to supply sufficient funds to
transport crippled children to
and from school.
Youngsters heretofore have
been taken to and from the
Crippled and Health School by
bus supplied from the school ap-
preparations. May 27 it was found
the appropriations had given out
and there was little possibility
of their being replaced. 1t was
then the unknown benefactor
came to the front and offered
transportation money.
Jere j. Crane. first assistant
superintendent in charge of busi-
ness affairs. admitted the un-
known'S offer. Tomorrow the
Board of Education, meeting at
the Franklin School, will discuss
its acceptance. The children,
meantime, are getting to and

/ DEAD, I HURT
IN TRUCK FIRE

One man was burned to death
and two were seriously injured
when the furniture truck in which
they were riding was forced off
the Washington Boulevard, near
Laurel, Md, last night. The truck
hit a pole and two gasoline tanks
attached to the side of the truck
exploded.
Charlmers D. Elder, %, of Rich
mond, Va, was trapped in the
rear Of the truck, where he was
lying on a bunk.
Eldridge D. Tanner, %, also of
Richmond, driver Of the truck,
was thrown clear. Dazed, he
jumped up and tried for several
minutes before pulling Elder from
the burning truck bed. He was
severely burned on the chest, face
and back.
The other occupant, Marshall
Soles, %, of Richmond, was riding
in the front seat with Tanner and
was trapped when the vehicle
burst into flames. Rescued by
Tanner, he and the others were
rushed to st. Agnes Hospital in
Baltimore where Elder was pro
nounced dead.
Tanner told police a green sedan
Swerved in front Of him and he
had to pull his truck off the road
to avoid a collision.
Although Soles suffered severe
burns, physicians said he would
recover.

FINAL ACTION

IN DOUBT
Friends Hope for Vote
Despite Adjournment
Rush in Congress

With the House members still
fighting tooth and nail for q low
Federal contribution to the Dis
trict and the Senate conferees
tired and disguised with the guer-
rilla tactics adopted by the other
half, the city budget was left
hanging in the air today.
Reports from the House side
indicated that the Senate was
ready to yield partially on all
items in dispute. Senate con-
ferees refused to make any state
ments, Senator Elmer Thomas
CD, of Oklahoma, chairman, was
the only member of the Senate
to attend yesterdays conference.
No Action Near
He declines to explain what
happened. He says that he ex.
poets no action within the next
day or two.
On the other hand, it was
learned today that at least one
Senate conferee has washed his
hands Of the whole matter and
has expressed the hope that he
won't be called upon to attend
any more meetings. Another mem
ber has also indicated that he is
diSguSted with the manner in
which the House has fought over
the bill and may withdraw from
any further negotiations.
Budget Pushed Aside
At the same time, with strenuous
efforts being eXerted to get Con.
gress out of the Capitol by Satur.
day, tremendous pressure is being
brought upon the Senate to give
its attention to bills of national
import, and little time will be put
in on the District bill.
Observers point out that an
eleventh-hour rally by the Senate
conferees is the only thing that
can save the District from an I'm.
balanced budget in 1887. Those
in hope Of fair agreement point
out that things have looked dark
for the District many times in
past years and a bill has been
forced through under administra-
tion pressure at the last moment.

SPLIT PERILS
RED RIDER
REPEAL
House Factions Differ
On Legislative Course
TO Follow

Prospects Of House approval
of RED rider" repeal legislation
dwindled today as differences of
opinion in the course that should
be followed developed among
proponents Of the measure.
It appeared today that the
bill either will not be called up
in the House this session or will
be drastically modified before be-
ing presented for House ap-
proval.
One bloc of the advocates of
the repeal measure is insistent
that every effort to bring it be-
fore the House be made this
session and that no concessions
be made. They want the issue
settled definitely once and for
all. win, lose or draw.
Fearful of Defect
On the other hand, however.
some of the proponents of the
legislation are fearful that the
outright repeal proposal will be
defeated if presented during the
present session of Congress, and
are urging that 1t not be called
up until next session or be
amended SO as to permit the
factual teaching Of communism
and eliminate the necessity Of
teachers having to take an oath
every two weeks before receiving
their pay checks.
This bloc is of the definite
opinion that the leadership Of
the House will vote with oppo-
nents of repeal unless the amend
ments are incorporated in the
bill, and they would rather take
what they feel they could get
rather than proceed on the theory
that they should seek "the whole
cake or none at all"
They contend that with the
leadership joining with the pro-
ponentS, virtually all hope Of en-
listing sufficient support to put
the bill through the House would
be lost.
Would Miss Threat
They also argue that II the
bill is not called up during this
session. but is held for action
during the early part Of the next
Congress. there is a good chance
that it will receive House ap-
proval, because the members then
would not have the threat of an
election campaign in the i'm
mediate future overhanging them
and thus would not fear that
their opponents would point
them out as pro-C Communistic for
voting for the repeal bill.
Meanwhile, a fear prevailed
that the District may be robbed
of its regular day in the House
next Monday. This fear was
based on the possibility that the
House may recess over from
either Friday or Saturday until
Tuesday of next week. It was
suggested that with the Repub-
lican national convention open
ing next Tuesday, many of the
Republican members of the House
would desire to be in Cleveland on
Sunday or Monday and that for
that reason the House might re-
cess for three days at a time dur
ing that time and agree to do
no business until the Republican
members return after the conven-
ton.
Should such a development take
place, there would be no oppor-
tunity available for calling up
the "Red rider" repeal bill, and
the only practical method Of get
ting it before the House would be
if the Rules Committee would
grant a special rule for consid-
Grafton Of the bill.

Sailors Day Is
Divided Up Into
Seven Watches

VOU have often encountered such
expressions as Eight bells" in sea
stories. But do, you know how time
is actually recorded by sailors
Each day of "a hours is divided into
seven watches for the crews of ships
The day is considered to commence at
noon.
Noon to 4 pm. Is known as the
afternoon watch. Four to pm. is
the first "dog watch" and 8 to 8 pm.
is the second dog watch" Unless
these two dog watches came into the
"a hours Of duty, the same men would
have the same watch each day.
Eight to IL midnight is termed the
first watch. Midnight to pm. is the
middle watch, and 8 am. to noon is
known as the forenoon watch.
A bell is rung on the bridge, in the
forepeak and in the engine room to
indicate the passage of time. One
bell indicates the first half hour OF
any watch, two bells the first hour
three bells the first hour and half,
and four bells the first two hours. In
the case of the first dog watch, -four
bells indicate the end of that watch
The second dog watch is indicated
by one bell for $50, two bells for T.
three bells for 7:30, and eight bells
for the end Of the last dog watch at
8 pm.
For the other watches, five bells
would denote the passage Of the first
two and half hours. six bells the end
of the first three hours, and seven belN
the end of the first three and hall
hours. Eight bells are always reached
at 4, 8 and IL o'clock.

= a sliding indicator. II you like
to experiment, and If your friends room
and your room are not very far apart
and in q straight line with each other.
you will have no trouble in operating
this novel device.
Two complete sets are required. one
for your room. the other for your
friends room. Both are made from
light lumber, consisting of q base
board, a back board on which the let
ters of the alphabet are evenly spaced,
an end board, an indicator, an indica-
tor track. spool pulley and a long
piece Of wire.
The sketch shows how the Indicate
runs back and forth between two strips
of wood for track. Moving the in
dicator on one set pulls the indicator
on the other set to the letter desired.
To keep the wire between sets taut,
a weight is attached to each indicator
and is pulled over pulley made from
a spool.
Attach both sets securely to a table
top; otherwise. the pull Of the wire
will move them out of line.
The only difference between the sets
is in the end boards and the location
of the weight cord attachment on the
indicators These must be reversed
on each set, so the weight end of each
set can be placed to extend slightly
beyond each table top to allow space
for the weight to move up and down
Once in line with each other, the
sets are easy to operate. Be sure that

Best Food for Any Individual Dog
Is Learned Only by Experiments
By Horace Mitchell.

w YE CAN write all the bt,oks
An/ and all the articles we want
" " to about dogs and how to
feed them. We can try diff
ferent foods on our own pets, and then
say that such-and-such a combination
is good or bad for all dogs. But 1t
strikes us right now that We are in
clined to forget that dogs are individ-
uals-just as much so as human beings.
You know fellows who can't eat
Strawberries or watermelon or some
thing else that you think is mighty
nice. 1t Is the same way with dogs.
But we don't notice 1t so much with
them because they can't tell us they
don't feel okay or that they have
slight pain in the bread basket" All
we can do is watch the way they act
and see how they look.
A dog shows poor condition in lots
of other ways besides being thin. He
may be tired all the time, too tired to
romp around with you. He may
show it in his coat by its being dull
and scraggly when it ought to be
bright and fully haired. Or he may
Just refuse to keep his food down in
side him, where good food belongs.
Usually when these things happen
the dog owner blames the feed for
being bad or begins to give the dog
medicine for one ailment or another.
Sometimes the best cure for such
0 situation Is to change the feed.
Just try another brand or another
mixture and see what happens. But
try it thoroughly. Don't expect to
make q worthwhile test In one day
or especially when the dog is very
hungry.
If he likes the new food and eats
It willingly after only moderate exer-
else and-this Is very important--if
his coat shows a better gloss and is
thicker after two weeks on the new
rations, then you can be sure you've
discovered exactly the right food for
him.
A tired. hungry dog will eat things
he shouldn't, just the same as you
would after a tough afternoon on the
gridiron, unless you had very good
advice or very good sense. Dogs don't
stop to think sometimes in the matter
Of food.
