at me and said: you're not Tom walshs
daughter?"
I told him eyes," and thought he was 60
ing to hug me then and there. With tears in
his eyes, he went to his show window, got out
his beloved piece, held it out to me, and said:
Anyone who belonged to Tom Walsh can have
anything own. He was my best friend, and
I loved him."
Maybe you think wasn't proud and touched.
I tried to pay for the treasure, but he looked
so hurt I couldn't.
When my children we're small they all loved
to take the different animals to sleep with them
and, of course, like all youngsters, would throw
them on the floor, and most of them are badly
broken.
An interesting feature about the collection is
that some of them are virtually priceless, and
some Of them are probably worthless, and I
doubt if could tell you now which are which.
Animals Reminders of People
One of the thrilling times I had with these
animals was when I was making moving pic
lures. D. W. Griffith sent down one of his best
camera men and studied movie making for
three years. For weeks I worked over these
animals. moving each one few inches at a
time, and then taking picture of them, until
finally the complete film shows them walking
in most dignified line out of the room.
The more look at my animals, the more they
make me think of people Some show their ugly
scars and others who have been as badly broken,
show nothing. People who are gallant hide
their scars, but the weak ones just can't take it,,
and impose their misfortunes on everyone.
There is the stuck-up snooty Pomeranian dog
that makes me think of some so-called society
leaders, and the dear, sadlooking bloodhound,
with his long, dropping ears. reminds me of The
poor politician when he goes out of office. And
of course the nice, big, fat pigs-we all know
many people we can compare them to.
Yes, love my collection Of china animals and
they give me many hours of pleasure But
must honestly confess don't love them half as
much as I do people.

Hit-Run Auto
Injuries Boy
In Street

On a bed of pain at his home,
227 K st. N. E., Six-year-old Max
Crotts was paying the price today
for failing to heed his parents
admonition against playing in the
street.
The youngster was found uncon-
scious in the street near his home
yesterday-apparently the victim
of hit-nad-run motorist.
It marked the second time in
six months that the boy had been
injured. On June 26 he suffered
a skull injury when he fell from
the rear of a truck.
Yesterdays mishap left the boy
with head injuries and a lacer-
ated tongue. His tongue was
swollen so badly today he could
hardly swallow. He was treated
yesterday at Sibley Hospital and
permitted to return to his home.

DC. IS ORPHAN
in u. s. HOUSING
FUND SPL|TUP
Authority Lacking
To Borrow Here
By EARL GOODWIN

Money, money everywhere and
not a plugged nickel for the Dis
trict of Columbia when it comes
to this half billion dollars which
Nathan Straus will administer as
~. S. Housing Administrator.
The trouble seems to be that
Mr.. Straus' half billion is all in
the air, anyhow; If, as and when
he gets it by borrowing it from
the general public, he has to par
eel it out to cities which can
come right back at him with a 10
per cent contribution of their
own; and further the Districts
Alley Dwelling Authority doesn't
have the slightest power or au-
thority to receive money as a
loan.
HAS NO AUTHORITY
At least that's the way the
President seems to feel about it
at present. Even though the Dis
trict alleys are as close to the
Chief Executive as any one Of the
tremendous independent commits
sions which report to him, the
President himself can't order Mr..
Straus to hand over the needed
seven million dollars to clear the
District alleys.
In fact the matter is compli-
Gated everyway one looks at it.
The President has the final OK.
for Mr.. Straus' fund; he has the
final OK. on the funds of the
District Alley Dwelling Authority,
after Congress appropriates the
fund; the Alley Dwelling Author
Iity is not local functionary by
Federal organization and Mr..
Roosevelt as president Of the U.
S. A. has general supervision of
Federal functions-and yet the
lawyers and lawmakers have so
fixed the Districts Alley Dwelling
Authority, that the President
can't lend money from one of his
organizations which he controls,
to another which he controls.
NO MONEY IN SIGHT
Unless the law is changed it is
not likely that the Districts Alley
Dwelling Authority can get any
money from Mr.. Straus, even
when he manages to raise funds
by issuing bonds.
The President is aware of the
fact that the Wagner low-coSt
housing law permits cities to rent
homes in low cost projects at very
much lower rents than they could
if they were not subsidized.
