THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
Bv IKE WALTON

Here are some of Sans sentl-
ments about the high birth-rate in
the Carolinas. The way we got to
talking about it was because! one
of my jobs is to look after Sans
renters when he goes away. It's
a fought proposition because they
raise more kids than calves. Then
have to make excuses for them.
Now you must understand that
Sam has more money and educa-
ton and geneial ali-round ability
than any man l know. But ne
didn't talk about that birth rate
like lots of these college profes,,
sors and magazine writer's ana
editors and welfarers and upllft-
ers do.
Some of them say the way to
solve the sociological problem IS
by stopping poor and common
folks from breeding so fast. But
Sam rather surprised me. Here IS
what he said, translated into my
everyday language: :,
"ike, these fellows who don't
think anybody is fit to breed but
themselves amuse me. TO begin
with, they don't understand the
first principles of biology. 1t is a
fundamental low of nature that
when an organism is threatened
with great danger it begins to try
to secure itself by more intense
reproductive activity.
"Take the case of the rabbit as
compared with the lion or the
elephant, for example. Or take
another, which is well-known only
to a few specialists-the case OF
the germ of malarial fever.
"Now that germ may lie quiet
or dormant in person having
chronic malaria and it may not
breed enough to give that person
much fever. But just let a mos
quito bite that person and get
some of those lazy germs into It's
system. Right then those germs
get busy. They realize that they
have gotten into narrow quarters,
that the new environment is bad,
and they start up their activities
right away. Then when the mos,
quito bites another person and
those newly stimulated germs get
into him in their aroused condition
, and with plenty of room for &C
ton and new blood for food they
increase by the billion and give
the person bad attack. They
were reused to reproductive activ-
ity by getting into the mosquito
and they couldn't stop for quite
a while after the mosquito inject
ed them into their new host. 1t is
one of the most remarkable cases
of heavy reproductivity in the
face of threatened estinction."
"But Sam, how does that prin-
| ciple apply to the people of NORTH
and South Carolina" =,
Sam explained that, but | shall

FATHER SAVES
BABY mi FIRE

Policeman James W. Adams, of
the traffic division, was seriously
burned today in resculng his three
months-old daughter from their
blazing apartment at 116 U st. N.
E. His sister-in-law suffered a
broken right leg in a two-story
jump.
Adams, who is 30, was taken to
the Sibley Hospital and is being
treated for burns on the face,
hands, body and legs.
Fellow policemen said Adams
was cleaning a stove with lnflam-
mable fluid in his second floor
apartment when there was an ex-
plosion, and Adams ran into the
back yard to beat out the fire on
his clothing. In the meantime, his
sister-in-law, Mrs. Mary Moore, 26,
jumped from a second-floor win
dow after screaming:
"The baby'S upstairs"
Adams ran back into the apart
ment, through the flame-filled
kitchen and dinette and into the
bedroom, where the child was
sleeping. Wrapping her up, he
ran through the flames again, car
rying her safely to the street.

to illustrate new methods of
dentistry, treatment Of gums and
extraction of teeth, which, den
lists declare, has been improved
to such an extent that it now

Great interest Is centering on
results obtained by individual den
lists from the Hartman solution,
desensitizer, over which much
debate has ragged in various Sec
tions of the country since its de-
but some months ago.
Dentists at the clinic expressed
the opinion the solution was ef-
fective in from Is to so per cent
of the cases in which it is used.
The solution was developed by
DR.. Leroy A. Hartman of the Co
lumbia University Dental School.
It's diScoverer has claimed it to
be effective in practically all cases
in which he has used it to deaden
pain.
]. Edgar Hoover, Chief of the

PR0BERS FEAR
PLANE CRASH
SABOTAGE

BALTIMORE, March 9.-PoSsi-
bility of sabotage in connection
with the crash of an Army pursuit
plane at Logan Field, in which
Lieut.. K. Ciovanoli, U. s. A., was
killed, will be investigated today
by three officers of the Third
Corps Area, constituting a board
of inquiry.
Lieutenant Giovannoli, regarded
as one of the most promising
young flying officers of the Army,
died yesterday when his speedy
Boeing ship plunged to the ground
after a wing was torn off at the
fuselage.
Wing Plate Broken
One of those who witnessed the
crash was Col. H. C. Kress Muh.
lenberg, air officer of the Third
Corps Area. Another witness was
Louis M. Rawlins, field manager,
who later said an examination Of
the planes wreckage revealed that
the crash had been caused by the
breaking of a thin steel plate sup
porting the wires leading to the
wing.
Colonel Muhlenberg said today
that he will ask Major Gen. AL.
bert j. Bowley, U. S. A., com.
mander of the Third Corps Area,
to name two other officers of the
area to join with him in investi-
eating the crash.

GUFFEY RULING
T0BE ISSUE
International News Service

A quiet drive to force the Con-
gtitutional issue into the national
campaigns if the Supreme Court
holds the Guffey Coal Act invalid
was under way today.
AS a preliminary, attorneys gen
eral of coal States were flocking
TO the support of the Guffey act
In briefs filed in the High Court.
Before the Guffey act cases are
argued in the High Court on Wed
nesday, the major soft coal pro-
aucing States will have filed
briefs.
States backing the law include
Pennsylvania, Indiana, New Mex
Eo, Washington, Ohio, Illinois and
Kentucky, all under Democratic
administrations.
In each case the States say
that they cannot constitutionally
pr practically, prevent chaos in
the industry. If the Court holds
the Guffey act invalid, they say,
there is no possible governmental
control.
Thus a Federal Constitutional
amendment, under the theory of
the States, would be necessary to
rive Congress the right to fix min
mum prices. control production,
wages and hours.

LOUIS BISHOP
HELD0NB0ND
OF 81. 500

ARLINGTON, Va, March 8.
Grand jury investigation Of one or
more of Arlington county's admin
istrative departments appeared i'm
minent here today as inquiries
were being conducted on several
fronts.
County Engineer C. L. Kinnier
started an investigation early to-
day to determine why Louis Bishop,
an engineering inspector, had been
paid a bonus" of $500 by one Of
the contractors engaged in con-
struction of the county's $4,000, 900
PWA sewer system.
Under S1,5OO Bond
Mr.. Bishop is under bond of
$500 on a charge of having &C
cepted a bribe of $500 from C. N.
Nickles, of the firm Of MuraSco
and Nickles. engineering con-
tractors of Pennsylvania. The
preliminary hearing on this case
is scheduled for March 16.
The county board Of commits
Sioners in executive session today
approved an immediate investi-
cation of the charge and are ex-
pected to take action resulting in
a complete probe Of all sewer
contracts.
County officials indicated the
chief object Of the inspection will
be the clause which sets forth
that payments for the bitches in
which the 30-inch interceptor lines
are laid vary according to the
depth. Where some of the bitches
may be in bracket that is classed
as IA to 16 feet, it is possible that
the report on this particular line
might have been made in a higher
bracket, therefore involving a con-
siderable increase in the amount
paid the contractor.
Still Another Probe
H. w. Massey, resident engi-
neer for the Public Works Ad-
ministration, and A. T. Lundberg,
engineer for the contractors in
charge of the sewer project, are
likewise conducting an inspection
of the particular line which was
under Mr.. Bishops supervision.
Mr.. Bishop admitted accepting
the $500, but contended it was
for services rendered and denied
that it was in any way a bribe.

HIS VACATION
AREAL JOB

Roy H. Jennier, headkeeper at
the reptile house in the Zoo. is like
the mail man who took day off
and then went for walk.
Eight days ago he left Washing.
ton for a vacation in Cuba. Today
he returned to his duties at the
Zoo with 81 tree frogs, % toads,
49 lizards, 6 snakes, 10 rodents of
the species hutier, and 6 humming
birds, all of which he bought from
natives while "Vacationing" in the
southern part of Cuba.
DR.. William E. Mann, director
of the Zoo. expressed great salts
faction with all the new acquisi-
tions, but he was particularly
pleased with the humming birds,
which, he says, are very difficult
to transport any distance.
For about six months the Zoo
has had no humming birds, the
last one having died in the fall.
Headkeeper William H. Black
burne said.
The lizards are mostly the Gu
ban curltail variety, which derive
their name from the peculiar habit
of curling their tails and running
when frightened. AS they were
emptied into their cages, the little
animals gave practical demon
stration Of this characteristic.
Two Of the snakes are Cuban
boas, described as extremely vi
cious, and the other four are
white-bellied snakes about two feet
long.
AS the mercury mounted today
and spring appeared to be just
around the corner, a number of
the birds and animals were turned
into their out-of-door cages for the
first time, Mr.. Blackburne said.
