 A special clock is used to time the finish. In flight each bird wears stamped rubber leg band. When 1t arrives at home base. the band is removed with all speed and deposited in ti.e clock which records the time & locks the band inside. The rac- ing secretary, who superVises the Synchronization of the racing clocks, holds the master key. He removes the bands to determine the time winners on the basis of elapsed time.
 ''It's surprising how few birds are lost in flight says Whelan. Hawks get a few, but some get lost or are just quitters that join floeks of other pigeons. I have known hOmerS to come m after a years absence"
 Traffic in homers is brisk. The hobbyists are continually trading and breeding new stock. Sturdi- ness is the principal objective. Good birds sell from $50 to $75. The highest known price for single bird was $1,080, in an Eng fish transaction.
 Best When Hungry
 Homers are raced with an ap- petite. Whelan says they do bet ter when taken off full feed, giv- en a light laxative and sent on their way. They are inclined to drop for water when racing on full crop"
 Training begins 12 weeks after matching. It isn't hunger or nos talgia that brings the canny little squabs back home. Whelan says it's just the nature of the birds They take 2 and 3 mile hops to

SCHOOL
OPEN $50

Recommendation was forwarded
today by Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer to the Board OF
Education that if the school open
ing hour is to be changed it be
fixed at $50 a. m.
In a recent poll conducted by
the board parents voted over
whelmingly to change the 9 a. m.
opening hour to $3.50 a. m.
In his recommendation, Direc-
tor Van Duzer had the support
of the members of the Public
Utilities Commission and Major
Ernest w. Brown, Chief of Police.
Director Van Duzer stated that
the later opening hour for schools
would permit children on the
street after the morning rush
hour and when traffic hazards
were at minimum.
He pointed out that the stag
gering of Government hours had
proceeded to the point that now
SIS per cent of the workers report
at 9 a. m, and said that a further
effort is being made for expan-
sion of the staggered hour system.
He added that if the later school
opening hours is adopted it would
afford pupils better transit facil-
tiles.

The seat of the Italian govern
ment rejects responsibility for the
action of individual private
citizens" but adds, the fact
that Mr.. Tafari" was allowed to
speak at all was provocation for
any Italian patriot.
It is considered incredible that
Premier MuSSolini should have
sponsored a violent outbreak in
the League assembly at the very
moment when he was making
every effort to reaSSure Britain
and resume active cooperation
with the League. Nevertheless,
it is recognized to be most diff

Spired by over enthusiasm for his
cause.
Angry, too, at Argentina's pro-
poSal that the League declare
against recognition of the con-
quest of Ethiopia, Italy declared
that she will quit the League for
good if that happens But present
prospects are that the nations,
already having taken positions,
will not be materially diverted by
the Halle SelaSsie incident, but
will proceed to lift sanctions and
ignore the question of recognition
of Italy's conquest until the Sep
tember session of the League.
Germany, in turn, is alarmed at

Iitvinoff is urging Premier Blum
into a tighter Franco-Soviet mill
tary alliance.
Moscow, finally, has extraordi-
nary troubles of its own, because
now, for the first time in Soviet his

and the outcome may concern all
Europe.

Briefly the Kremlin, meaning
Stain, wishes the French Com
munist party to cooperate Loyalty
with Blum and help him maintain
a stable government for the pur-
pose of fighting Nazi Germany
when, and if, that becomes neceS-
sary. This is because the Krem-
Inns first concern is the security
of the, Soviet Union.
The Comintern, on the other
hand, meaning the redoubtable
George Diitroff, wants the
French Communists to make a
real Red revolution in France, be-
cause the Comintern's real reason
for existence is world revolution.

APPEAL IN FLAG
SALUTE CASE
INDICATED

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. IA
direct appeal to Herbert r.
O'Conor, States attorney general
Of Maryland, for a ruling on the
petition Of August A. Ludke,
Oxon Hill, for a reversal Of the
order by the Prince Georges
county school board barring his
children from public schools for
their refusal to salute the flag,
was indicated today in the offices
Of the State Board Of Education.
Charles Cook, State superin.
tendent Of schools. yesterday de-
clared that he would ask the
boards permission to submit
Ludke's appeal to the attorney
general for a ruling on the State
boards authority on the case.
The petition for a review Of
the case was filed in Baltimore
yesterday by Edmund D. Camp
bell, Washington attorney, rep
reSenting Ludke, after the order
barring the children from school
had been carried out at the
opening Of the Oxon Hill Con-
solidated School Tuesday. The
petition also asked that the chill.
dren be permitted to attend the
school pending a settlement of
the question by the State board.
Cook stated that since the school
board did not convene again until
next month. it was likely that a
special meeting would be called on
the question, but that it would not
be considered until the States at
torney generals ruling was made.
Ludke's appeal to the State au-
thorities is based on the Maryland
Constitutions guarantee of re.
ligious freedom and on the con.
tention that the State law only
provided for flag Saluting cere-
monies in public schools, but does
not specify any penalty for a STU
dents refusal to take the salute.
Campbell yesterday indicated
that in the event the appeal to the
State Board of Education failed to
gain reinstatement of the chill
dren, he would probably file for
a writ Of mandamuS in the circuit
court to force authorities to per.
NIT their attendance. Ludke's re.
quest for a rehearing on the case
before the county school board
Wednesday was denied by Ormand
w. Phair, chairman Of the board.
