in Bury. Lancashire, % years before
he invented the "fly-shuttle," which
he kept in his attic and worked sec
reilly at night. With this and the
"powerloom," which he invented for
narrow goods, he produced yardage
which brought him what was for a
weaver in those days huge amounts
of money, and attracted the curio-

cred his secret, saw the machine as
a threat to their jobs, wrecked it with
axes and burned the house. Kay

Kay's ideas, made some improvement
and discoveries of his own, and in

TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

Today's native is liable to be shy
but rather impulsive, generous and
fond of mild adventure. In some
aspects, this is a strong personality
and, if other aspects favor, may pro-
duce a noted parsonage. Look out
for trouble in middle age. This will
be overcome, but the result will de-
pend much on the care exercised at
the time.

cutting officials announced they would
take them into court and ask judge

posed questions would have incrimi-
mated them.
The hearing before Justice Gordon

LOWELL THOMAS
OPENS LECTURES
Describes Changes in Palestine
Since 1917 Before Geographic
Society.

Changes which have occurred in
Palestine since the British wrested
1t from the Turks in 1917 were de-
scribed to 1000 members of the Ma
tional Geographic Society last night
by Lowell Thomas, traveller, writer
and radio commentator
Thomas, who inaugurated the So
ciety's 50th lecture season, was in
troduced to the audience in Consti-
tuition Hall by DR.. Gilbert Grosve-
nor, president of the society. The
speaker was the author of with
Lawrence in Arabia"
Thomas saw the Holy Land taken
from the Turks by troops under Gen.
Allenby. He expressed the opinion
future historians will give more i'm
portance to the battles in the East
in their accounts of the World War.
Thomas described how the Turks
were driven across the Sinai Desert
by troops suffering more from thirst
and sun than from the bullets of the
enemy. Strangely enough, Thomas
said, the Holy Land was taken from
the Moslems and returned to the
Christians by troops drawn largely
from India and including many
MoslemS.
The lecturer described improvements
which have taken place since the
Jewish immigration set in. He said
that Jaffa, for example, was trans
formed from the sleepy port Of 1917
to one of the leading shipping points
of the Eastern Mediterranean. Jewish
immigrants have constructed modern
buildings, improved sanitation, culti-
waited vast grain fields and developed
some Of the worlds finest orange
groves.

Was Found Too Small for
Building Needs.

Administrator Ickes today boosted
to s1,105,7 ,7l1.58 the P. w. A. funds tc
be made available to Howard Uni
versity for construction of one of the
finest library buildings in Washington
He announced presidential approval
of an allotment of $305, 5,711.58 for the
library, in addition to 100000 which
had been allotted for it on November

encountered since that time
President Roosevelt recently dedi-
Gated a new chemistry building al
Howard, as the latest step toward
completion Of a six-year building pro-
gram financed by the P. w. A.
When the question of building a
library on the university campus was
taken up almost three years ago,
it was estimated 100000 would be
necessary for the construction, long
planned by university trustees. Sub
seouently, eight or nine bids were
submitted. The lowest of these. how
ever. was s305. 5.711.58 in excess of the
100000 P. W. A. had allotted.
The university trustees made an
extensive investigation of their plans
and of the bids and bidders, and re-
ported recently to Administrator Ickes
that no satisfactory revisions could
be made in the plans.
During the interim other buildings
have been completed at the uni
versity.
The total funds now available for
library construction at the university
are s65,462 in excess of the three low
bids accepted recently. No explana-
tion was made at P. w. A of the
need of surplus
Three low bids were submitted for
various phases of the work and equip

phia. made a successful bid of S819. .925

street cars. Trafic slowed down
while volunteers tried to catch the
fugitive.
Finally the animal dashed under

The motorman could not start his
car, nor could he persuade the dog
to come from beneath the wheels.
Meanwhile traffic backed up behind.

not get to the scene.
A colored man finally crawled be-
meath the street car and brought the
dog to safety. Later q wagon from

PIN BALL TRIAL.
RESUMES MONDAY
Actual Demonstration oil
Game Before Judge
Is Possible.

In recess today, the District Court
pin ball trial" will be resumed Mon
day with the possibility of an actual
demonstration of the game before
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue in an
effort by the Government to convince
him that the devices are 'evil chat
tells" and subject to police seizure.
The main issue is whether skill or
chance predominates in playing the
machines. Contending that they
were gambling contraptions, United
States District Attorney Leslie c.
Garnett last Summer ordered police
to seize the 10000 machines scat
tered throughout the city's pool rooms,
drug stores, cocktail rooms and SINH
lar gathering places.
The Pioneer Novelty Distributing
Corp, which said it owned $500 ma
chimes, countered with an injunction
suit against Garnett and Police Supt.
Ernest w. Brown, and Justice Oscar
R. Luhring granted a preliminary
stay. The current hearing is to de-
eide whether the preliminary injunc-
ton should be made final or dis
missed.
Expert" to Testify.
Scheduled to take the witness stand
Monday morning is Ralph Branden-
burg, mechanics helper, who testified
late yesterday that he was an expert
pin ball player and could call his
shots almost at will. Under direct
examination by Attorney William r.
Lichtenberg, who represents the dis
tributor, Brandenburg admitted mod
estly that he acquired his skill by
much practice, but still slipped up
once in while"
CroSs-examined by Assistant United
States Attorney John j. Wilson. Bran
denberg explained that he counter
acted slight imperfections in the
playing board by giving the ball
either a back spin" or a forward
spin," merely by twirling the plunger
to the right or left.
Beside him as he testified was q
brightly painted pin ball board which
went under the name of peerless"

thought he could put the ball in a
predetermined hole every time. The
Tycoon" another make of machine,
was a little more difficult, he said,
and the best he could promise was
S bulls-eyes out Of 10 shots.
Druggists Are Called.
Three druggists who keep pin ball
machines in their stores preceded
Brandenburg on the stand.
Figures given by the three indi-
Gated a wide range in the average
take" per machine, depending prin-
cipally on the location of the store.
Machines in the store Of DR.. Jo-
seph Bernstein at 332 H street north
east seemed to be the most profitable.
The druggist said he got only Is per
cent of the take" but that, even so,
his share amounted to about SIS q
week for each machine.
DR.. Robert I. Myers. whose drug
store Is at 5916 Georgia avenue, said
he received so per cent Of the net
profits but made only between 90

make 35 miles per hour. Greenfleld's
companion on the high front seat was

Takoma Park.
One Fails to Start.
The procession started amid haze
of exhaust fumes, grinding Of worn
gears and harsh caSkling of horns.
One old car Just couldn't quite make
the grade as the rest of the entries
pulled away from Sixth street at a
signal from Police Supt. Ernest w.
Brown.
Get a horse" shouted some jokester
who might have been a passer-oy In

As a sympathetic crowd gathered
and the distraught occupant nIteo

CEMETERY VALUE
CLAIMS STUDIED
S. {. c. Is Told Realty Jumps
Five Times When Buying
Ground Is Proposed.

The Securities and Exchange Com
mission today studied the statement
that real estate jumps five times in
value when it is proposed to use it
for cemetery purposes.
At the same time 1t sought to rec
oncile with this testimony information
that there is enough cemetery space
already available in Washington to
accommodate the dead for almost q
century to come.
Stop Order Hearing.
Both assertions were made during
the stop-order hearing on the proposal
of the Washington National Cemetery
Corp. to finance the development Of
its IS acres on Marlboro Pike out
side the District Line with q $225, 900
bond offering.
The property was bought in 1927
for $50 900 from Mrs. Jesse Bell. who
used it as farm land, according to
Prescott Edmonds of Lynchburgh,
Va, who is president Of the Lincoln
Memorial Cemetery, adjacent to the
Washington Memorial
Lincoln MemOrlal Stlil owes @zV'~
900 on the land. Edmonds added. He
said Lincoln Memorial had sought In
1882 and 1888 to rid itself of the
property for S65, 900. In September
Of this year, however, Lincoln turned
it over to the Washington Memorial
Corp. for one thousand $50 per cent
notes, payable in 10 years.
Business Advisers Comment.
Charles William Banker, q New
York business adviser, who now Is
vice president and treasurer Of the
Washington Corp, told the commits
sion he figures his cemetery will be
worth 1896, 900 when improved.
To finance the improvements,
Banker said he is putting UP the
money necessary for the present. The
8 per cent bond issue, for which the
S. e. c. contends the Washington
Memorial Corp, made Inaccurate
statements in his registration, would
supplement Bankers money. the New
Yorker said.
