lodged in the heart of young heifer butchered by
Herbert FINLAND, farmer south of Verndale The hei-
fer was in exceptionally fine condition being very
fat, and had apparently suffered whatever

needle, 219 inches in length, had somehow been
swallowed by the animal and had passed through its
digestive organs and embedded itself in the top of
the heart point first to depth of inch and
half. Another popularity of the incident is that

d. c. Park Costs
Third Highest
In Country

Fame of the Nations Capital
for it's vast parks and recreational
centerS is costly.
This was revealed in a survey
conducted by the Census Bureau
and made public today by Di-
rector William L. Austin, which
showed that of 81 cities having a
population of 100000 or more,
Washington ranked third highest
in per capita cost for operation
and maintenance of recreational
service.
The bureaus statistics showed
that in 1884, the local per capita
cost was $2.74, topped only by
Buffalo with 1888 and Milwaukee
with $3.50 in the list of the "a
cities.
Total expenditure for the rec
reational facilities in Washing
ton, the survey showed, was ST.
356,925. New York topped the
list with a total of $9,476,400 but
the per capita cost was only $1.32.
However, the survey revealed,
not all the local cost was borne
by the District government. In
cluded in the recreational Serv-
ices surveyed by the bureau were
museums, art galleries, geological
collections, swimming pools, golf
courses, band concerts and sim
liar recreations, many of which
are financed in this city through
Federal funds.

First-Hand Study Will
Determine Stand In
Labor Dispute

Without retracting a word, but,
in fact, adding several hundred
more to her caustic criticism OF
Works Progress Administration
labor furnished local Fairgrounds,
Miss Sibyl Baker, Fairgrounds SUI
pervisor, today was lone up" on
Commissioner George E. Allen in
the controversy over laxity of the
New Deal emergency work pro-
gram.
So complete was her victory
that Commissioner Allen decided
today to go out himself and in
spect all WPA playground prof.
ects. Particularly, he will look
over the Mcmillan and the New
York Avenue Fairgrounds.
Children Injured
Miss Baker charged that at
these two Fairgrounds, work on
two field houses was stopped last
April and nothing has been done
since. The grounds were left in
a dangerous condition, she said,
resulting in injuries to two chill
dren at the New York Avenue play
field, where it was necessary to
pile bricks and tile beside the I'M
completed field houses to make
playing safer. Allen had promised
! Miss Baker that these projects
would be completed as soon as
possible.
Major Daniel j. Donovan, dep
uty WPA Administrator, Miss
Baker said, took men off the jobs
last April because the sewer de-
partment needed labor and her
department did not have Suffi-
cient funds to employ labor super
visorS. William C. Cleary, asSiS-
tant WPA Administrator, said
that, because of labor shortage,
work was never regularly re-
sumed, but from time to time addi-
tional work had been done at the
field houses.
Miss Baker not only denied
Cleary'S assertion, but produced q
memorandum she sent to Commits
Sioner Allen last June Is, calling
attention to the dangerous condi'
lions and urging the field houses
be completed.
Switch to Other Projects
Mr.. Cleary said that when
supervision of WPA playground
projects was taken over last April
by w. P. Draper, head of the re-
pair shop, it was decided to COM
plete several other projects before
completing the field houses, but
Miss Baker said her department.
was most anxious to have the
houses completed.
The controversy started when
Miss Baker submitted to the Dis
trict Commissioners her estimates
of departmental needs for the fis-
cal year 1898. Asking increases
in two items, she criticized WPA
labor as poor in quality" and the
emergency works program as "un-
certain"
She explained to Commissioner
Allen she was not DESTROYS Of los
ing any emergency workers fur"
nished her department, but merely
wanted an appropriation to hire a
supervisory staff, which would
make the unskilled labors of the
WPA workers more effective.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HIGHWAYS
TO IMPERIAL VALLEY

Sometimes it seems to the casual OBJ
server that too much stress is laid on
highway building projects as they affect
Imperial Valley. Any person interested
enough to delve into the history of
similar but older communities will be-
come convinced that no effort is too
great to assure development of arterial
roadways feeding tourist business and
other forms of business to this territory.
A minor example, we'll known, is the
practice sometimes followed by politi-
clans of revenging themselves on given
communities for some real or fancies
slight by re-routing highways around
the communities in question. No COM
munity can live a healthy existence
without good roads
Because highways are of such i'm
portance the impending convention of
the International Four States Highway
association, a young but healthy group,
is of paramount Importance to residents
of Imperial Valley, and especially to
business men here.
Development of the Four States high
way is merely matter of time-unless
all efforts to obtain its completion are
dropped. Such development, however,
can be speeded up considerably by
show of interested strength on the part
of cities and towns along the route.
Imperial Valley needs an improved
highway coming in from the inland
territory of the west, and the Four
States highway is such a one.
Anv business man who does not sup
port development of the highway is
failing to support development of his
own interests.

HEALTH CENTER
PLANS BLOCKED
BY |. A. BOARD

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10. UP
A proposal to construct a health
and welfare building in Huntington
Park to serve the southeast section
of the county was sidetracked tenn
porarily today by the board OF
supervisors in referring it to the
bureau of budget and research for
study.
In view of an unprecedented pre-
liminary county budget, the super
yisors were inclined to turn thumbs
down on the proposition, which was
proposed by southeast civic leaders.
Cost of the proposed structure would
run between $25000 and $4,000.
County Health Officer j. L. Pom
eroy said there was no need for the
project which would serve an es-
timated 1170OO people in the Hunt
ington Park, Graham, Southgate,
Bell and haywood district.
