Tug Sawtooth of Lomen Company
 Was Destroyed

The severe storm that ragged for a few hours last night at Nome also struck Golovin. These storms, even when of short dura- ton, often take heavy toll, and the Lomen Commercial Company is today in receipt of the news that their gas tug Sawtooth' sta toned at Golovin, was caught in the blow and completely wrec- ked.
 As near as can be learned, the steering gear broke and before the crew could anchor, the tug was on the rocks. The men work ed desperately to save their boat in the short time that elapsed be- fore it struck, but the fury of the storm was too much for them. They were forced to jump into the surf and swim ashore, being lucky to get out alive.

Fire Damaged
 Cookhouse At
 Little Or. A. M.

A fire starting in the Hammon Company cook house at Little Creek about 9 AM. today was extinguished after much effort, about 10:30 AM, with damage estimated to be between six and seven thousand dollars.
 From all accounts the fire start ed in the kitchen, caught to the ceiling and ate it's way into the second story where sleeping ac- commodations for a number of men are located It was explain ed by A. M. Hartford, assistant manager in charge of operations, that the blaze gutted the kitchen and the second. story sleeping quarters, but with no fire damage to the dining room below Or the store rooms located on the main floor of the two story building.
 All supplies for the cook house were stored in the building, and the one hundred odd men who fought the fire quickly removed these supplies before there was any danger that the fire would progress to that section of the building.
 Many Hammon Company em- ployees from around the power house, machine shops, etc, in Nome rushed the three miles to Little Creek to help put the fire out. Two nozzels,. operated by pumps, and about thirty fire ex- tinguishers were used in halting the conflagration.
 The cause of the fire was not definitely determined, beyond the fact that it started in the kitchen, presumably from the kitchen stove.

.zON|NG RULE GAP
BY BOARD
Side Yards to Be Required of
FIatS-ReStrictions on
Properties Passed.

A gap in the zoning regulations
which permitted the building Of flats
without provisions for side yards-a
gap which has existed, unknown, for
decade-has been plugged up by
the zoning Commission by adoption
of an amendment to the code
The fault in the rule was discovered
several weeks ago when an architect
applied for a permit for fiat without
side yards. Officials found they could
not reject the application under the
regulations.
Under these, apartments were de-
fined as having no less than three
stories. Flats were not listed In the
requirement of side yards because they
are Of two stories.
Following brief public hearing
yesterday the commission approved an
amendment requiring side yards for
fats as we'll as apartments.
The commission also amended the
recently adopted new rules placing re-
strictions on use of properties for
gasoline filling stations, auto repair
shops and public service garages. 1t
strengthened the rule requiring an
applicant to serve notice of his plans
on all property owners within 200 feet
and ruled that after the notices are
given Is days instead of 10 must elapse
before a permit may be issued.
The commission also amended the
rules concerning the size of inclosed
courts in commercial buildings, to
permit them to be built somewhat
narrower than in the past.

RELIEF EMPLOYEES
TO GET LEAVE PAY
127 Dismissed Employees to
Be Remunerated for AC.
CumuIated Time.

District Auditor Daniel j. Donovan
ployeS Of the Public Assistance Divi-
sion who we're dismissed July l for
reasons of economy, without being
granted all accumulated leave, must
be paid in full for any additional leave
due them.
The ruling was a victory for a
Grievance Committee of Lodge 249,
American Federation of Government
Employees, headed by Miss Edna Kury,
who yesterday protested to Commits
sioner Hazen many of the group had
not been given all their accumulated
leave, in violation of the executive
order of the President in promulgating
new leave regulations.
Maj. Donovan overruled position
taken by Miss Alice Hill, relief di-
rector, who held the additional leave
could not be granted on the grounds
that the 1877 had been "legislated" out
of their jobs by the act of Congress in
limiting relief administrative costs for
this fiscal year to 100000
Maj. Donovan told her the Presi-
dents order left no room for discre-
ton, that the rule was that the date
of dismissal Of any employe in Dis
trict or Federal service, involuntarily
separated from service, except for
cases Of misconduct, shall be fixed to
permit full allowane of all accumu-
lated leave.
In the l27 dismissals welfare off,
cials had allowed maximum of two
weeks leave. Many had earned much
more than that, Hazen was told Mai.
Donovan directed Miss Hill to appear
before him Monday to start calcula-
tions of the leave pay due in each case.

BUDGET METHODS
ASSA|LEDBYHAzEN
Preparation of D. c. Fund
Plans tremendous Waste
of Time"

Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen yes
terday branded preparation of the
District budget as "a most hopeless
and thankless job" and attacked the
Budget Bureau procedure by which
the Federal contribution to District
expenses is determined.
I'VE can't plan more than year
ahead" Hazen told the Kiwanis Club
in a luncheon meeting at the May
flower Hotel. THE whole process is
a tremendous waste Of time. It is
most unfortunate"
II the Federal Government had to
pay taxes on its property here, the
contribution would be more than $1o,-
100000 instead of the $4,000. 900 pro-
vided for the coming year, the Com
missioner explained.
He said the Nation Shouldn't ex-
pect upkeep Of its beautiful Capital
to be continued by the few taxpayers
here"
Pointing out that President Roose-
velt will appoint committee on fiscal
relations, Hazen expressed hope a per-
manent policy will be worked out.
In his talk Hazen also reviewed the
history of the District. George Of
futt of the Alcohol Beverage Control
Board, spoke briefly. Maj. Ernest w.
Brown, superintendent Of police. was

Increased school facilities in Wash
ington suburbs will enable the District
to accommodate all nonresident junior
school graduates who desire to enter
senior schools here this year. DR.
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent, an
nounced today.
The 122 nonresident students grad
uating from District junior schools last
month will be admitted to the McKin-
ley and Central High Schools this Fall
without necessitating any increase in
the number of teachers. In some in
stances there may be restrictions In
the elective subjects offered. All nom
residents not graduates Of junior
schools here will be refused admission
except those Of Army or Marine posts
near Washington, who will be admitted
to the senior high schools under the
same conditions as have applied In the
past.
Due to increased space in schools in
Bethesda and Silver Spring, Nd, and
other Maryland and Virginia sections
the nonresident enrolment has stead.
lily decreased during the past few
years, DR.. Ballou explained, and this
year will total about 2, 100 in all schools

FLOOD CONTROL
STUDY AUTHORIZED
Best Locations and Levels
in Potomac Park to Be
Determined.

Flood control studies to determine
whether the level Of the permanent
dixie system should be raised were au-
thorized today by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
The best locations and levels for the
proposed dikes will be determined be-
fore the next meeting Of the commits
sion, probably in September.
Stakes will be placed to show o dixie
system with a level Of 19 feet above
mean low water, and to show the slopes
of the embanknents and other fea-
lures. Commission members will be
able by field studies to determine
how much destruction of parks, trees
and landscaping would be involved.
The new dikes will be outlined at the
location of the temporary sandbag and
earth embankments which held back
foods this Spring. Permanent low-level
dikes, now located between the Tidal
Basin and Constitution avenue, played
an important part in flood control last
Spring.
Thomas Settle, secretary to the COM
mission, explained that engineers had
recommended that the level of Inde-
pendence avenue southwest be raised
to provide permanent dixie.
John Nolen, jr., director Of planning
submitted a program for 1887, cover
ing personnel, land purchasing and de-
tails Of park maintenance, which was
taken under advisement. Nolen also
submitted a supplemental report on
the Milwaukee traffic studies recently
made by group from Washington.
Senator King Of Utah, chairman Of
the Senate District Committee, ar
ex-ofdcio member of the commission
expressed the belief that there has
been an improvement in traflc con.
ditions locally.
The commission authorized further
study Of zoning and subdivision regu-
lations and will recall Alfred Bett-
man OF Cincinnati, to make additional
studies during a period Of 10 days
later in the Summer.

is THE hornbill his wife's jailer?
Authorities seem to disagree on
this point. Some say he seals his
L wife in tree, and others that the
female herself makes the prison.
This rhinoceroS hornbill could settle
the question, but he merely gobbles
bananas and oranges and otherwise
keeps his big trap shut. rare quality
indeed in the din of bird house.
1t is certain, however. that the fe-
male is sealed in a hollow tree with
hard mud during the nesting season,
perhaps for protection. Only a small
hole is left, and through this the
faithful male projects food from his
long beak.
The female remains in prison while
Matching her eggs and rearing her
young until they are almost full grown.
She is rather thin, weak and rumpled
when the male finally cracks her
