DooD increases every year in popularity
as Christmas gift. Men are among the
most interested donors of this type of
gift, sending table delicacies of one sort
or another to friends and relatives in all parts
of the country.
Almost five hundred orders for choice
hams came to US last year from men" the
manager of one New York shop says. "They
think it makes an excellent gift for a family,
particularly in the case of young married
people who do lot of entertaining.
''One of the incest gifts receive each
Christmas is ham," an important editor
stated recently. The man who sends it is
oonnoisseur of good food and collector of
fine recipes. Among them is one he gave me
for particularly delicious roast ham and it
is always used in my kitchen when his
Christmas remembrance is to be cooked"

POLICY
UP TODAY

Behind closed doors, the District
Commissioners will meet today in
the Commercial National Bank
building with the members of the
special committee appointed by
President Roosevelt to iron out a
more equitable Federal-District
government fiscal relationship.
Aiming toward an annual Fed
eral contribution of $12,000,000,
the three Commissioners with
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan, have
prepared numerous statistics to
show that the current $4,000, 900
lump sum is far from adequate.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
said the principal argument for
the increased payment is that the
Federal Government should pay a
sum equal to the taxes it would
have to pay for it's local real estate
holdings, which are non-taxable.
He added that statistics COM
P44CA Wy L dA 11ooCOOOI L ACu ElIC1l
will be exhibited, which show
that if the Federal Government
continues to acquire property at
the rate it has been doing for
the past 10 years, it will own
one-third of the total area in the
District within 13 years.
Rufus S. Lusk, secretary of the
Washington Taxpayers Protective
Association, recommended that
the special committee make a
study of the District govern
mental costs and submit recon-
mendations in connection with
its report on Federal fiscal re-
sponsibility.
The recommendation is in di-
rect contrast to the views taken
by the city heads, who are of
the opinion that the committee
should confine itself to devising
formula for the lump sum con-
tribution.

RACE HORSE
'SP0NGED'
At BOWIE
Moonside, Favorite,
Is Victim; Gamblers
Are Suspected

With the Thomas Kirby Lynch
Memorial race scheduled to be
run at Bowie race track this
afternoon, vandalS last night
broke into the stall of MoonSide,
the favorite to win the race, and
tampered with the animal.
This was discovered this morn
ing when Trainer Thomas Ma
lone, who handles MoonSide for
Eddie Kane of New York, found
the t rough br e d had been
"sponged," a sponge inserted in
the nostril to prevent the animal
from breathing.
Caused HemOrrhage
So much force was used that a
hemorrhage was caused and the
horse probably will be unable to
go to the post in the secondary
feature event on the card.
Malone posted reward of 81 900
for the arrest and conviction of
the persons responsible for TAM
pering with the horse. He also
made a formal report to Race
Secretary Campbell and to the
track stewards.
DR.. Henry j. Mccarthy. of Balti-
more, veterinarian for the Mary
land racing commission, and DR..
w. R. Carter, of Washington, were
summoned to examine MoonSide.
This is the second time in a
week that vandals have attempted
to disable horses at the track. Sev-
eral days ago, Trainer P. E. Fitz-
gerald reported someone had en-
tered the stall of the racer Petard
and cut the horse on the legs, pre-
venting him from starting in the
race in which he was entered.
Breathing Heavily
Malone reported he took Moon
side to the track early this morn
ing for a workout, but that he
noticed the gelding was breathing
heavily and Immediately took him
back to his stall.
There MoonSlde started blee0ng
from the nose, and Malone then
noticed that the lock on the stall
door had been broken open.
Two white employees of the
stable who were sleeping said they
heard no noise through the night.
Later, bloodstains were found on
the sides of the stall.
