Route Will Be I'm.

Rock Greek Valley will be closed
10 traffic from the Calvert Street
Bridge to p street for four months
beginning Monday to enable workmen
to build road over a landslide near

wall, he added, is expected to elimi-
nate the danger of future slides.
Finnan also said plans are being
made for the new bridge across Rock

.BoyPatrolCaptain
Gets Results When

But 1t Was All Just a Mis-
take, He Explains
Ruetully.

The newly-appointed captain OF the
boy patrol at Bancroft Public School
in Mt. Pleasant, with his cross belt
as white as snow and his badge
polished and flashing in the bright
morning sun, was giving his boys the
once-over this morning, seeing that
they were properly posted and watch

He stopped at the corner of
Eighteenth and Newton streets, across
the street from the school, and salts

the world. He stood beside a bright,
red fire alarm box, and as. his eyes
wandered over the crowd of school
bound children, his hand idly wand.
cred over the clasp to the door of the
box and began touching things here
and there as the hands OF small
boys-even the hands of . captain Of
the boy patrol-are apt to do.
And then it happened. Something
slipped. And as the face of the cap
tain of the Boy Patrol gradually took
on the color Of his cross belt people
began to arrive at the Bancroft
School-all sorts of people in all sorts
of snorting, shrieking vehicles. Fire
engines, trucks, hose wagons, two po-
lice scout cars and five newspaper
reporters. There was brief but pointed
questioning. But o captain of Boy
Patrols cannot tell . Lie. He did it,
he said, but it was purely an acci-
dent. And what was better still, the
police and the fremen agreed with
him.

Z CARS TO Be EPUT
ON NONE-MAN BASIS
StreamIined TrolIeys Will Be
Converted From TWo-Man
Vehicles Sunday.

Twelve Of the Capital Transit Co. s
new streamlined cars, heretofore op-
Grated by two men, will be placed
in service Sunday morning as one
man cars on the Wisconsin avenue
Pennsylvania avenue line, it was an
nounced today.
The remaining eight cars will con-
tinue as two-man vehicles on the
RoSslyn line until men in the George
town division of the company can
be trained as one-man operators.
The change from two-man to one
man operation was authorized by the
Public Utilities Commission last week
in an order that also gave the COM
pany the right to convert 20 second
hand cars to one-man operation.
Several of these already are in serv-
ice.
The IL streamlined cars to be con-
verted Sunday will run from Friend
ship Heights to Seventh and Penn
sylvania avenue. The remaining eight
Of the same type will continue to op-
crate between Seventeenth street and
Pennsylvania avenue southeast to
Rosslyn, Va.
Two-man cars between Friendship
Heights and Seventh and Pennsyl-
vania will be used only during the
peak hours, morning and afternoon.
The company said the change will
offer the FIRST opportunity it has had
to test the new cars as one-man We
hicles, although they were originally
designed for that type of operation.
Peoples Counsel william A. Roberts,
tomorrow night, will ask the Fedora
tion of Citizens Associations to de-
termine if contest should be started
against the order allowing conversion
OF the new streamlined cars to one
man operation.
The first step would be an appeal
to the commission for rehearing. II
the rehearing resulted in repetition
of the commissions decision there
then could be an appeal to the courts.
Roberts has said he would be guided
primarily by public sentiment"
The federation was a party to the
hearing. Its representative was Will
liam NICK. Clayton, chairman of its
Utilities Committee. The federation
many times has gone on record op-
posing any increase In the number Of
one-man street cars.

for camping is convenience. A good
outfit can be assembled in any dime-to-
dollar store, including enamelware cups,
plates and soup bowls.
Camping Deluxe
While tent camping is more of
change from homelife, and will be en-
joyed for its novelty by the youngsters,
elderly folks on an extended tour will
appreciate the greater comforts of the
camp trailer. Now that cars are fitted
with four brakes, and good roads ex-
tend III all directions, the properly de-
signed camp trailer is no burden. 1t is
relief to passengers to have the entire
camping outfit in single unit back of
the car instead of piled up in the ton
neau and on running boards.
The fold-down camp trailers with
their canvas tops, are lighter and COM
Portable for ordinary camping trips.
Camp coaches are more bulky and
heavy, but represent the last word is de-
luxe camping facilities. They are fitted
with Pullman type beds, breakfast room,
kitchenette, refrigerator, water tank,
cabinets, drawers and clothes lockers.
Some have heating stove and bath
room. The cost of factory jobs range
from 5000 up.
While camp life is interesting, there
should be some objective TO a camping
trip. Usually it is sightseeing, or it may
be fishing trip, or tour of national
parks.
It's a good idea to try new equip
ment out near home, before leaving on
an extended trip. Rely on a checklist
to avoid forgetting such essentials as
matches, salt and the money bag.

Nowadays when most farmers own

Can Be Built
The farmer who has fast light truck
can readily convert it into camping
car, either by building in hunks and
lockers, or by using it to haul a tent
outfit. Many secondhand tent outfits
are on the market now at fraction of
their original cost, due to the popularity
of coach camping. A compact tent out
fit may be hauled in a sedan or touring
car, equipped with trunk and luggage
racks.
Probably the best tent for motor
camping is an umbrella model, about
oxo feet for four persons. Folding cots
may be used, or air mattresses may be
spread on the floor cloth. The tent
should be vermin and mosquito tight.

suffice for cooking. Some sort of food

the why is what adds interest and zest

The scrub sire has been the South's
heaviest handicap in the race toward
better livestock.
The very close relation between farm

weevil became a serious menace the De
partment of Agriculture assigned DIR.
Seaman A. Knapp to the task OF finding
out what could be done to produce cot
ton under boil weevil conditions.
He worked out plan calling for ro-
tation of crops, better tilfage, and pro-
duction of homegrown crops and feeds.
The problem was to get farmers to adopt
his plan. He decided the best way to i'm
press them with its advantages would be
through actual demonstrations on farms.
DIR. Knapp was particularly anxious
to get farmers TO grow more corn. 10
carry out this aim Boys Corn Clubs
were organized over the South.
The Knapp idea of crop rotation was
never able to stop the pesky boil weevil,
but DIR. Knapp did something that has
placed his name among the immortals-
he organized what has since become the
All Clubs which now dot rural sections
of the nation with approximately mil
