81 CAR PASS
RETAINED
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor

ClClZenS ASSOCIATIONS Eu1LOE
Plans of the Capital Transit
Company to abolish the 81 weekly
pass on January 3 were vigorously
opposed by the Conduit Road Citi-
Eens Association last night when
officials of the company we're
flayed for taking away the passes
ut time traffic was the heaviest.
The association also requested
the transit company to erect a
suitable waiting room at car stop
Is, opposite the Palisades field
house on Sherrier Place Northwest.
Paving Cost Sought
The committee on highways was
directed to ascertain and report
at the next meeting the proximate
cost to property owners for pro-
jected paving on Sherrier Place be-
tween Dana and Edmuns Place
and Conduit Road Northwest.
BY a unanimous vote, the aSSo-
citation registered opposition to
the proposed establishment of
slaughter house on Benning Road
Northeast, and deferred action on
two resolutions, one favoring the
raising of funds by public sub
Scription for the District Parole
Board, and the other recommend
ing the establishment of credit
union in which only members OF
the association would participate.
New members elected were Mr..
and Mrs. R. M. Long, Mr.. and
Mrs. c. j. Dixon and Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter r. Harrison.
The meeting was held in the
Palisades Fieldhouse with Charles
z. Rich presiding.
Georgetown Association
The Georgetown Citizens Asso-
citation, at meeting last night in
st. Johns Church Parish Hall,
gave approval to a recommends
ton by Major Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police, for the
appointment of 800 additional
policemen.
The District fire marshal was
petitioned for a more rigid in
Spection of business places and
apartment houses in Georgetown
to prevent unnecessary accumu.
lation of trash and other waste
material.
The association registered oppo-
Sition to proposed increase in
the District gasoline tax, and pro-
posed diversion of the fund for
other than highway improvement
and bridge construction.

 I'm out of breath and I can't last. The bear is running much too fast. I didn't harm the fellow, and this really isn't fair"
 The Tinies heard him and rushed out, He's in, mess, with out a doubt" said Goldy. Hey, prospector, can't you chase that bear away?
 We don't want Duncy injured, and we beg of you to lend a hand. Inside your cabin, after this, wee Duncy ought to stay"
 The old prospector smiled. Said he, "Now, listen, all you tots, to me. That big bear is pet of mine. He wouldn't hurt a child.
 "The chase, to him, is heaps of fun. Oh, my, just watch old bruin run. Whenever he gets full of pep like that, he's simply wild"

 "Oh, let him catch our ittls friend. Twill be 8 dandy way tg end the funny race" said Scouty. "Duncy's getting all tired out.
 There is no real cause for alarm, since your tame bear will do no harm" The bear then grabbed at Duncy. and the lad be- gan to shout.
 Then bruin lifted Duncy high, and Goldy yelled, "Oh my, oh myi The lad, now, knows the bear is tame. A smile is on his face.

They gave him good sailors
clothes, veniSon, biscuits and hot
tea, and a quarter Of an hour later,
Evans was telling the story of the
events which had taken place since
the sailors had been thrown on the
island. The boys knew some of
this story from what they had
seen and what Kate had told them,
but now they learned all that had
happened since.
"An hour after abandoning ship"
said Evans, I'VE reached a cur
tain of trees, where we made
camp. The following day and for
many days after we returned to
the boat and tried to repair it; but
having no tools other than hat
chet, it was impossible to put it in
sea-shape, even for a short cross
ing. Then we looked for another
place to make camp, a place less
arid and where hunting would
give us our daily food, and at the
same time be near river where
we'd be able to procure fresh water.
Our provisions were entirely gone.
after following the coast for
about dozen miles, we reached a
little river"
East River" said Service.
"All right for East River" said
Evans. There, at the end Of vast
bay"
Deception Bay" said jenkins.
Gall right for Deception Bay"
said Evans, smiling. There, in the
middle Of the rocks, little har-
bor-"
"Bear-Rock!" cried Costar in his
turn.
"All right for Bear-Rock, little
one!" answered Evans, with a nod.
Nothing was easier than to settle
in that place, and if we could bring
the boat around (the first storm
would completely break it up if it
was left where it was over there)
perhaps we'd be able to repair it,"
"We went back to fetch her, and
when she'd been lightened up as
much as possible we were able to
refloat her. Then, although she
had water up to the gunwhale, we
were able to haul her along the
shore and to bring her in to the
harbor where she is now in safety"
"The boat is now at Bear-Rock?"
asked Briant.
Eyes, my boy, and I think that
it would not be possible to repair
her If we had the necessary tools"
But we have these tools. Mr..
Evans!" said Doniphan, quickly.
"Ah, that's just what Walston
thought when by a chance he
learned that the island was inhabi-
tated, and by whom!"
How could he learn that?"
asked Gordon.
"Well," explained Evans, "a
week ago all of us-for they never
left me alone - were exploring
across the forest. We arrived on
the shores Of a big lake from which
East River came out. And there
you can judge our surprise when
we found strange apparatus of
reeds on which a sail had been
stretched"
"Our kite!" cried Doniphan.
"Our kite which had fallen on
the lake." added Briant, land |
that the wind had pushed right up
there"
"Ah, it was a kite?" asked |
The Washington times., 1936-10-09

Evans. my goodness me! We
could not have guessed that, it
puzzled us very much. In any
case, it had not made itself up
alone 1t had been manufactured
OH the island. No doubt about
that . The island was therefore
inhabitated!. BY whom?. That
is what it was important for Wal
Ston to find out. AS for me, from
that day I made up my mind to
get away. Even if the inhabitants
Of this island were saVages, they
could not be worse than the mur-
derers of the Severn! From that
time, moreover, I was kept
guarded night and day!"
And how was French Den dis
covered?" asked Baxter.
IT come to that" answered
Evans. you understand that
Walston had only one thing in
mind, to know who the inhabitants
OF this island could be. If they
possessed the tools which we were
lacking, Walston wanted their
help to put the boat in shape to
go to sea-"
"A search began with great eau
ton. They went forward little by
little, exploring the forest on the
right shore of the lake, to get
towards the southern point. But
no human being was seen. No un-
usual noise was heard in this part
of the island"
"That was because" explained
Briant, mot one Of US was allowed
away from French Den and we
were forbidden to fire a single
shot!"
Nevertheless, you've been dis
covered" declared Evans, and
how could it have been otherwise?
1t was during the night of the
23rd or oath that one of Walston's
gang arrived in view of French
Den by the southern shore of the
lake. Bad luck would have 1t that
he saw a light filtering across the
side of the cliff, without doubt the
light of your beacon which the
door, left ajar for moment, let
through. The next day Walston
himself went towards this side,
and during part of the evening,
ne remained hidden in the high
grasses, few steps from the little
river"
1--WE knew it?" said Briant.
"You knew it?"
Eyes, for at that place Gordon
and I found the bowl of a pipe
and Kate recognized it as Wal
ston'S."
That's right" pursued Evans. |
"Walston had lost it during his ex-
cursion and on his return it
seemed to vex him very much.
But then, the existence of the
little colony was known to him. In
iced, while he was hidden in the |
grass, he saw several of you going |
backwards and forwards on the |
right bank of the stream. You
were only some young boys, whom |
seven could easily master! Wal |
Ston returned to tell his COM
panionS what he had seen. A con-
verSation which I was able to hear
between Brandt and him, told me
what they intended to do against |
French Den. %"
"The monsters!" cried Kate. |
"They would have no pity on these
children :"
mo, Kate" answered Evans.
mo more than they had pity on |
the captain and the passengers of
the Severn! Monsters You
have named them well, and they
are commanded by the most cruel
one among them-Walston!"
Anyhow, Evans, you we're able
to get away, thank God!" said
Kate.

MARATHON ROUND
TABLE GROUP MEETS

A most interesting meeting OF
the Marathon Round Table Group!
was held at the City Hall Tues
day. After reviewing the recent
developments in Europe that
might lead to war, Mrs. Robert
Ham mentioned the possible
courses open to the U. S. to main
tain peace. She commented on the
policy of refraining from any po-
litical commitments in Europe and
the belief in absolute Freedom OF
the Sea.
Nj. Carl Drake presented the
possibility of abstaining from po-
litical commitments in Europe
and complete non : intercourse
with powers at war. He also
urged a sound domestic policy OF
preparedness.
Mrs. Joel Gulledge projected
the idea of membership in an In
ternat1Onal group Tor collective
security. She emphasized the
fact that wal is All attack on the
international Community and
!, should be met with International
effort.
While no definite conclusions
were drawn by the group, there
was much discussion provoked
and considerable thinking excit-
ed along the lines presented.
These meetings are proving
very profitable, and there is hope
that forums will be continued
throughout the winter on subjects
of current interest. The last
