TO SCRAP
TRACKS WINS

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 90
At the request of the Southern
Railway Company, City Council
has voted to ask the State Cor
poration Commission to permit
the company to abandon its tracks
on North Henry Street, where the
city will spend $4,000 on paving
for use of trucks.
The council first asked the rail-
way company to bear the expense
of paving between its tracks on
the street. The counter proposal
of abandoning the tracks was
made last night by Gardner l..
Boothe, attorney for the railway.
In line with the proposal, the
council appropriated $4,000 to-
ward improvement of Henry
Street, from Cameron to Mont
gomery Streets. This sum will be
supplemented by $4,000 in State
funds allocated to the city.
At the request of the Master
BARRIERS Association, committee
of Ccuncilmen H. OBJ mn o n
Cooper, Charles L. Burgess and A..
Slater Lamond was appointed to
study a proposal calling for the
establishment of a BARRIERS board,
to pass on the fitness of BARRIERS
applying for work here.

HARTFORD, Conn, April 20
G.N.SO Shades were drawn in
fictional Baker Street today. DR..
Watson moved about as if in a
trance. Sherlock Holmes was
dead.
In real life this Sherlock Holmes
of the stage was William Gillette,
80, known to theater-goers of still
an earlier generation as the star
of secret service" civil war
drama.
Gillette died this morning at
Hartford Hospital, where he had
been resting for the past month.
For a quarter of century, Gill
lette played the role of the fic-
tional Sherlock Holmes in theaters
from coast to coaSt-played it so
we'll that all other Sherlock
Holmes imperSonators patterned
their Characterization after his.
At least six times he retired
from the stage, and each time was
plagued by theater managers until
he agreed to "just one more tour"
Two years ago, Sherlock Holmes
was given another brief revival
but Gillette, now an old man,
found his strength waning, and
the tour was curtailed.
Closest relative of Gillette was
John F. Hooker. Hartford insur-
ance official, who is arranging for
the funeral.

COUNCIL SCANS
PARK PLAN

ALEXANDRIA, Va, April 90.
A committee Of city council to-
day has under study a proposal
for the city to lease its former
aims house property at Monroe
Avenue and River Road for con-
struction of a baseball park and
athletic field.
Under a proposal submitted by
Councilman Charles E. Burgess,
the city would lease 500 square
feet of land to M. H. Kendrick
for 81 for a period of 10 years,
with the condition that Kendrick
expend $500 for the construc-
ton of a baseball park and grand
stand.
The proposed agreement pro-
vides that high school and other
nonprofeSsional teams could use
the park except on Sundays and
holidays. 1t has been Endorsed
by the Sixth Ward Citizens Asso-
citation and other citizens because
recent demolition of Baggett's
Stadium left the city without a
ball park.
The council committee, com.
posed of Councilmen Henry
O'Bannon Cooper, Charles L. Bur-
CESS and A. Slater Lamond, will
submit a report and recommends
ton on the proposal at the next
meeting of city council, May II.

or totally destroyed. The purpose of
this bill is simply to insure him a.
gainst those hazards over which
he has control.
There has been several attempts
at crop instance by private COM
panies in the past. They have not
succeeded. The records of these com
panies have all been examined and
their officers have all been consul
ted. The records show and the Of
ficers unanimously testified that
the failues were to the lack OF suf-
ficient data concerning the farms
and the farmers who were insuring
and because they attempt to insure
the price, as we'll as the crop.
Commencing with the Farm
Board operations under Hoover
In 1880, down to the present date,
very complete records have been
kept of every wheat farm in United
States. 1t is the opinion of the in
surance executives that we have
sufficient data on which to safely
base insurance.
In the law now under considera-,
ton, the insurance premiums paid
by the farmer will be Immediately
invested in wheat, which will be
stored in warehouses. The amount
OF the premium will be based upon
the records Of that particular farm
and the records of all of the farms
IN the area during the previous
SIX years. The government will not
insure in excess of rs per cent of
the average of the six year annual
average. The wheat stored in the
warehouse cannot be sold for any
other purpose than payment of in

CROP INSURANCE BILL
REFERS ONLY TO WREAI
(By Lewis b. schwellenbach)

(By Lewis B. Schwellenbach)
Washington, D. C.-During the
last two weeks, have been serving
as a member of special sub-com-
mittee Of the Committee of Agri-
culture, hearing testimony upon
the Crop Insurance Bill.
In view of the fact that crop in
surance was endorsed by both pol
itical parties in the campaign last
fall and was assured by both Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Ian
don, I feel that I may discuss the
bill in this column without danger
of partisanship.
The present bill refers only to
wheat. This restriction is due to
the fact that wheat is the only ag-
ricltural product about which the
Department of Agriculture at the
present time has sufficient acurial
data to be sure that it can safely
insure it. It is the intention later
to add other agricultural commodi-
ties. In view of this intention. II
feel that discssion should be of in
terest to all parts Of the State of
Washington.
In every other line of business
those participating have the avail
ability of insurance protection
They protect their stocks of goods
which they manufacture or sell,
from fire, water and every other
sort of hazard. The farmer on the
other hand, plants his crop--he

Those hearings have been the
most interesting that l have atten-

Senate. The Department of Agri-
culture has carefully studied the
subject 1t has received the full CO.
operation of insurance companies
throughout the country and the
insurance executives appearing be-

they are, have all testified that 1t

No matter how fresh and shiny
cellophane lamp shade coverings
may look, or how appealing the
idea to leave them on in the inter-
ests of easy cleaning may seem,
they should be promptly removed
from new lamp shades. When a
lamp with cellophane-covered
shade is placed into service, heat
from the light bulbs causes the
cellophane to shrink, frequently
distorting the frame work until the
shade no longer fits as its designer
intended.
