NAVY YARD GETS
PWA FUNDS TO
PURIFY SEWAGE
Grant by Ickes Is Step
In Potomac Cleanup

Secretary Of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes disclosed today that he
had approved a grant of PWA
funds to the Washington Navy
Yard for treatment of its sewage
as q step toward elimination OF
pollution in the Potomac River.
It was said at his press confer
ence that an announcement of the
amount allotted would follow.
POLLUTION STUDIED
No further statement was
Forthcoming on pollution in Rock
Creek or other tributaries of the
Potomac, although the general
subject as well as particular pol
luton problems both in the Wash
Iington area and on the upper Po-
tomac are being given intensive
study by Secretary Ickes and en-
Igineering agencies of the Depart
ment of the Interior, National Re
sources Committee and other Fed
eral bueaus.
INDEPENDENT SEWER
Approval of the Navy Yard
award does not conflict with con-
Sideration now being given pollu-
.tion Of the river by sewage from
the Washington city system since
the Navy Yard has its own sewage
with District sewers.
Secretary IckeS conferred earl
ier in the week with District Com
miSSionerS with respect to the
municipal sewage problem.

GIVE
HENS new EDGE
$500 Strut and Lay
For Old Soldiers

More than $500 leghorn hens,
comprising the cream of the
Soldiers Home laying flock, strut
ted contentedly today in their
home, the first unit Of a COM
pletely modern, streamlined, COM
bined hennery and hatchery that
will eventually produce 72,000
dozen eggs a year.
Three other units. similar to
this new one, must be completed
before the flock reaches its maxi
mum production. officials said. but
these units will be completed in
short while. At that time the
flock will be increased to 10000
hens.
AIR CONDITIONED
Never during the life Of the
hen will she set foot on the ground
under the methods to be employed
In this plant, which provides air
conditioning and the necessary in
sulation to make conditioned air
an economy. Electric blowers
heaters and ventilating ducts
throughout the four-storied build
ing will provide both heat and
ventilation.
Man-power in the operation OF
the WPA built plant will be great
ly reduced by means OF modern
time-saving devices.
Food is carried to the various
floors by means Of a hand-oper-
ated elevator and overhead car
riers transport the food to the
mash troughs. Similar carriers
move litter to a chute that ends
at a dump wagon far down from
the building itself.
WATER AUTOMATIC
The water supply is automatic
witt. float valves maintaining q
constant level in the 'troughs.
The basement of the rat and
vermin-proofed building includes
the hatchery and brooder room
where each season baby chicks are
Matched to replenish the adult
flock and there they are kept until
they are sufficiently feathered to
stand the cooler temperature Of
the rooms above.

order forbidding him to read news paper, listen to the radio, or talk to strangers. His handlers know as well as I do that when I select a horse to win it would be much more merciful for me to take his chances of victory out behind the barn and drown them like kittens
 My choice for place money is Fighting Fox and for show money, Dauber. This latter named creature would be my first choice but for the fact that, like visiting relatives, 1t takes him so long to get going. Dauber simply can't start moving until at least a mile has been cov- cred, and sometimes his opponents are not sufficiently courteous to drop into a corner drug store and have soda while waiting for him to catch up.
 Those of you who were fortunate enough to read me last week may be a bit puzzled over my selection of Bull Lea, because then, l named Larwin as my choice. That was in New York, and since coming here have learned that Lawrin has deli cate feet and has to run in what almost amounts to bedroom slippers. Knowing from experience how hard bedroom slippers are to keep on, am not going to have any horse of mine wearing them in the Kentucky Derby.
 But will I be sore If Larwin comes in! Much sorer than his feet will ever be.

St. Margaret'S
 6-5 Winners In Catholic Loop

Wet grounds messed up some of the opening Parochial league games yesterday afternoon, with St. Francis and Sacred Hearts going to a 6 run tie, following opening of the season ceremonies, including flag raising, band music by the WPA musicians and throwing of the first bali by George Mulligan, Sr., a Washington Hill baseball star of 35 years ago. Five runs in the second inning seemed to clinch the game for St. Francis, but the Hearts came back with five in the third and fourth cantos.
 St. Thomas won a surprising 50 shutout from the usually strong St. Joseph's. Spina giving the Lithuan- ian lads only four hits, Brennan and Burns hitting home run and ee-bagger for the winners.
 St. Margarets won the beSt-play- ed game of the day, 6-5 victory over St. Ann's, Steinert's triple with two on base in the fifth inning win ming the ball game, Sturvent hitting a home run in the first inning for the winners, who also turned in a neat double play with the bases loaded to retire the Frenchies with out scoring.

 often wonder, as I tramp the moors in the twilight, accompanied only by my sheep dog and keeper, whatever happened to Military. the horse I pickeod to win the derby last year. I hope that those per- sistent rumors that have Military hauling milk wagon in Minneapo- lis are not true. If they are I'd hate to live on his route, because the milk and cream always would be late.
 And whatever happened to Grand Slam, my sure fire tip of two years ago? Reports that he still is some where on the backstretch here at the Downs are repeatedly chopping up.
 But today is another day and I give you Bull Lea. You take him at your own risk.
 I'm warning you now that only multi -millionaireS, inmates in our better institutions for the mentally inadequate, counterfeiters with well oiled machines, or persons who just don't care, should follow my advice.
 Not that Bull Lea isn't 3 great horse. He is, this big barrel-chested son of Bulldog and Rose Leaves. He has early speed, courage to spare and the power to carry the 126 pound derby weight the full distance of a mile and a quarter. Read the form charts and you won't lind but one derby rival he has any reason to fear, that bein gan article named Fighting Fox. Of course, saying that all Bull Lea has to fear is the Fighting Fox is like saying the only thing that Napoleon had to fret him was Wellington, or that all a turkey has to fret him Is Thanksgiving. What I mean is, the Fox constitutes menace that cannot be Lightly disregarded.
