Wide Expansion Of Bus
Operations.

streets southeast, made necessary by
great expansion of its bus operations,

These ancient beasts of burden have
developed protective pads on their feet,
long lashes to sift the sand from their
eyes, nostrils which they can close at
will, and reserve water pouches to
carry them for days through dry
country. Although the usual camel
caravan moves at about miles an
hour, swift runners have been bred to
carry a rider 100 miles in a single day.
The camel has been domesticated for
so many ages that the wild stock has
almost disappeared; the only wild ones
remaining are a few in isolated parts
of Central Asia. They are smaller
than the dromedary and have two
humps.
The camel played an important role
in the history of Northern Africa and
Western Asia. He supplied the ancient
races with transportation. meat. milk
and wool. He is ideally adapted to toll
in many environments and under ad-
verse conditions

Arrests Are Begun
To Stop Fishing
At Reaches Rl.1,
Caretaker, After Shooing
Of anglers, Nabs 2.
Each Forfeit $40.

Following the recent arrest of two
Virginia anglers. National Capital
Parks officials served warning today
that the rules against fishing for bass
in Reaches Run will be rigidly en-
forced.
Reaches Run is the bird sanctuary
recently established between Washing
ton and Alexandria and it is used
also for the breeding of bass.
Heretofore the caretaker, Paul
Hodge, has merely shooed away tres
passers who had the mistaken idea
that the bass were free game for any
fisherman. Word got around that
being driven off was the only penalty
involved and park officials explained
there has been much annoyance from
prospective fishermen.
But Tuesday the caretaker took
things into his own hands and ar

Clarendon and Jerry Kidwel, IS, of
Ballston. who had been fishing in the
sanctuary, yet without luck. Taken

were required to post for their ap-
pearance in court the next day.

AIR FIELD FUND
TO Be APPROVED
President Expected to Pass
on S590,000 Boiling
Field Approval.

Presidential approval of a $500, 900
allotment for continuance of work on
the Army's new airfeld at Boiling
Field in Anacostia IS expected soon,
w. P. A. officials said today.
In response to an appeal from Army
engineers, President Roosevelt a. few
days ago advanced $4,000 in W. p. A.
funds for the purchase of materials.
The new request for funds, which has
received w. P. A. approval, is intended
to keep the 1850 men employed on the
Job at their task. The entire amount
it was said, will defray labor costs.
Short Time Required.
A week or more may elapse before
President Roosevelt makes the labor
fund available. The project must go
through the channels of the Budget
Bureau and the controller generals
office before the President certifies it.
Army officers had warned the
w. P. A. that about half of the workers
employed on the project would have to
be dismissed unless additional funds
were provided.
It was said the construction costs
at Boiling Field are averaging about
$75,000 monthly, including the cost
of materials used. The $4,000 re-
Gently approved by the President, it
was believed, will be sufficient to de-
fray expenses until the full amount
of the desired allotment is paid.
Grading and Airways Work.
The w. P. A. project now pending
calls for the grading of the field and
completion of the airways. Additional
funds will be sought from Congress for
the erection of hangers, barracks,
machine shops and other necessary
buildings.
The District w. P. A. is supplying
the labor at Boiling Field, but the
work itself is under supervision of the
Quartermaster Corps of the Army.
Some of the money for materials
had to be spent to pay security wages
of $45 a month to the project workers.
For this reason the President had
authorized the additional $75,00e to
defray needed material costs.

orite term among Farmer-Labor
editors and just about everyone
who differs in views in any way
with these people is classed as a
"reactionary."
In a way, however, the Farmer
Labor party itself might be termed
reactionary in it's attempt to get
around the state primary law,
which was adopted about thirty
years ago as an advanced step in
nominating candidates.
The F. l.. party does not let the
voters themselves decide who their
candidates are to be as was the in
tent of the primary law, but the
candidates are nominated in the
old "reactionary'' method in state
and district conventions and the
rank and file of the party have no
choice in the matter.
The Farmer-Labor conventions
not only nominate party candidates
for state offices, but go right down
the line and name nominees for
all nonpartisan offices from SUI
preme court justices to candidates
for the legislature and county Of
fees, thus defeating the intent OF
one of the most advanced ideas OF

EDITORIAL
COMMENT
From Our Exchanges

If the statements of Bernard
Finnegan, Chicago attorney, that
the real solution of the Lindbergh
baby murder case is near and that
Bruno Hauptmann was entirely in
nocent of any connection with the
crime, are true, it's going to be a
bad day for a number of promin-
ent people. If they are not true
F'innegan would have done better
to have kept his mouth shut; there
has already been enough bitter
ness, dissension and questioning OF
Jersey justice aroused, supposing
that irrefutable evidence of Haupt-
mans innocence cannot be produc-
ed.
If it can it will not help Haupt-
mann. He is dead-will have been
legally murdered in that case. 1t
won't give a widow her husband or
a small boy his father, although 1t
will clear the name they bear. But
it probably will spell the end for
Attorney General Wilentz, of New
Jersey in politics. 1t will discredit
the police and detective methods
Of the New Jersey state police. 1t
may spell ostracism for Justice
Trenchard who sentenced Haupt-
mann and refused him a new trial.
Anthony Hauck, Hunterdon Coun-
ty Attorney, who prosecuted the
case, can just write finis to any
political or public ambitions he
may have. The witnesses whose
testimony built the case against
the German carpenter might bet
ter move elsewhere and change
their names. The name Of John +.
Condor (Jafsie), ransom informed
larry and witness extraordinary who
identified Hauptmann by his voice
will be particularly obnoxious to
the American public.
Bitterest of all. strangely enough
may be the reaction towards the
dead baby's father. He lost popu-
larity by his sudden migration to
England shortly before the sched-
uled date of Hauptmann's execu-
ton. 1t will be recalled that he too
was powerful witness against
Hauptmann. Proof of the convicted
mans innocence would just about
finish the Colonel up as popular
idol.
With so many persons certain to
suffer powerful efforts would be
made to bury any proofs Finnegan
may have turned up. and never let
them get to the public. The next
move Is Finnegan's.-Blue Earth

Who's Reactionary?
The word "reactionary' is a fav-
