On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

His many friends on the
ranges were severely shocked
when they learned of the death
through an automobile accident
Friday of Frank Tate in a
collision with a gas train near
Crookston. Frank was one of
the few travelling men left and
was in the employ of the Rust
Parker company of late. He
was well known on the ranges
and we remember him for many
years back. Always jovial,
with new story and an always
welcome visitor, he made
friends with all with whom he
came in contact.
The old time travelling sales
man who made" the ranges in
the early days are disappearing
fast. Just at present we can
remember only one on the road.
This is George Mccormick, who
has the range territory for
Rust-Parker. He seems to be
about the only one left of the
old school of travelling sales
men who advised with their
patrons and kept their fingers
on the pulses of local mer-
chants on their orders of what

mediately laid in a supply of about
500 worth of choice liquors at q

ing whisky and champagne.
He met one of the girls in the
floor show at a downtown night
club and they had planned to be
married today, police were told.
But meanwhile the check, under

If all goes well and fve-cent pieces
still are good legal tender, Wash
ingtonis experiment with parking
meters will get under way in less
than two weeks.
This was indicated today when
the Fred Drew Construction Co.,
which holds the contract for in
stallation of the automatic coin COL
lectors, announced it has received
the standards on which the meters

them up next Monday.
The Graybar Electric Co., the firm
providing the meters at a price of
$44.45 each, expects the 80 auto
matte devices to arrive next Monday
or Tuesday. The contractors believe
the experimental years trial will get
under way by November is, at the

Before the meters are placed on
the 38-nch pipe standards, they will
be tested, but the contractors expect
this to require little time.
The meters will be installed in the
area between Ninth and Fourteenth

front of the District Building, in
front Of banks near Fifteenth street
and New York avenue and on the
east side of Seventh street north

Vocational Guidance
Held Common Sense

Effective vocational guidance is
common sense fortified by informa-
tion," not magical art" Max
Baer, national director of the B'nair
Birth Vocational Service Bureau,
told an audience that heard him
lecture last night at the Jewish
Community Center.
He pointed out that the last ma
tional census revealed more than
$4,000 occupations in the United
States. To master an occupation, he
said, does not mean a person was
cut out for the job" but involves
merely the acquisition Of q tech
nique.

Banded Ducks Return to Trap
To Get Free Lunch

from the trap, Mr.. Hodge said.
They are simply released after the
fact is recorded. Unbranded ducks
are banded, recorded and released.
The ducks quickly learn that no
harm results from the trapping and
that an exceptionally good din
ner is to be obtained for q few
hours of incarceration in the big
pen. The duck trap is built some
thing on the order of a pound net,
with a funnel leading into a big
wire pen. 1t is easy enough for the
ducks to get in but virtually i'm
possible to get out.
Migratory ducks appeared unusu-
ally early at the Roachs Run sane
tuary this year, and the movement
now is in full swing, with thousands
Of ducks of number of varieties
stopping off here to feed and rest.
Many of them are expected to re-
main here until freezing Of the
water drives them farther South to
open feeding grounds.

Man Bent on Tanning Zoo Bear
Tells Judqe Never Aquin'

Edward j. Harris, %, who said
he has been around cats and dogs
aA his life, decided to become a
lion tanner the other morning.
AT the Harvard street entrance
TO the Zoo, he found a cage. In
1T was a black European bear. To
Harris at that particular time. bear
or ion-it made no difference.
The would-be lion tanner crawled
over the cage railing. The bear
walked up to the bars to investi-
gate. Harris steadied himself on
the railing and glared. Bear or
lion? Anyway, he felt like tanning it.
Just as he let go of the railing
to cross the few feet to the bars,
a pair of hands pulled him back.
He had been rescued from possible
serious injury by a member of a
sewer-construction gang working
nearby.
Harris was pulled over the rail-
ing and urged to leave. He re-

Police Study Plan
To Add Personnel
To Pid-Up Squad
Thompson Will Oppose
Proposal to Merge
With Other Units

Plans to enlarge the police pick
up" squad of eight picked detectives
into a crack "racket-busting" squad
were being discussed today by Maj.
Ernest w. Brown, police superin-
tendent. and Inspector Bernard w.
Thompson, chief of detectives.
Inspector Thompson said the
squad needed more personnel to
function most efficiently and that
he was opposed to any merger with
other squads that would increase
its routine duties.
Headed by Acting 1t. Joseph w.
Shimon, the pickup" squad was
organized several months ago to
keep a constant check on known
criminals and suspicious characters
in Washington and attempt to make
the Capital too hot" for them.
Members of the squad did most
OF the undercover investigation pre-
ceding raids here this week that
smashed an alleged crime syndi-
CATE" accused Of using Washington
as distribution point to Southern
States for illicit narcotics, counter
felt money and crooked" gambling
equipment.
Inspector Thompson said the
squad members had been working
such long shifts that it was not
humanity possible for them to con-
tlnue such a rigorous schedule.
One proposal said to be under
consideration would involve merging
the pickup" narcotics and fugitive
squads of the Detective Bureau, but
Inspector Thompson indicated this
would not meet the problem.

If you are inclined to sympathize

In fact, according to Paul Hodge,

there is one old drake who has be-

the trap as fast as it is rebaited.
Time after time" Mr.. Hodge
said, II have gone to the trap and
taken that old drake out and shooed
him away. He just goes of q few
feet, shakes himself, cocks his head
on one side and waits until the new
feed is placed In the trap. Then
he goes back in for his next meal.

and rushed to help her rescuer. The
bottle hit both fighters glancing
blows on the head.
Hit him again-break the bottle y
Dominic yelled to Mrs. Haseldon.
She did so. Dominic hit the bandit
again in the mouth with his fist.
Slumping back to the wall, the
colored youth pulled % pistol
from his pocket and snapped it.
Calls to Companions.
II decided I better do something
or he would kill me-" Dominic said.
He rushed at the bandit again and
felt the pistol against his stomach
as the trigger clicked a second time.
Meanwhile, he had called to his
two companions in the doorway
to get the police, and the struggle
attracted attention of an unidenti-
fed youth, who walked into the
store and said What is going on
here?"
Dominic said he told the stranger
10 graD the bandltS pistol, which
he did and then left without iden-
tifying himself.
Immediately afterward police ar
rived and took the colored youth off
Dominic's hands. The prisoner was
locked in cell at the ninth pre-
cinct, after $495 he had taken from
Mrs. Haseldon was returned to her.
Police found two cartridges in his
pistol, so placed that one would
have fired if the trigger had been
pulled again.
Dominic, who weighs 248 pounds
and is S feet 7 inches tall, said he
had stayed away from football prac-
tice to allow pulled muscles in his
leg to heal. His leg escaped further
injury in his struggle last night, but
his head was slightly sore from the
bottle blow and there was slight
cut on his hand.

Dominic Pinto, 18-year-old East
ern High School tackle who stayed
away from football practice yester-
day to nurse an injured leg and
wound up the day in a desperate
struggle for his life with an armed
bandit, decided today he preferred
his physical combats on the gridiron.
With the help of a passer-by and
a woman clerk welding a milk bot
tie, young Pinto succeeded in over
towering the bandit he caught hold
ing up an ice cream store-but only
after he got the fright of his life.
During their struggle the colored
hold-up man held a gun to the
youths stomach and pulled the
trigger twice. 1t was Dominic's good
luck that the trigger fell on empty
chambers and the gun didn't go of.
IF I had known he had pistol

his newspaper route when they
walked by an ice cream store at 9l8

They noticed a colored youth
standing close to the counter in a
manner to arouse suspicion. Leav-
ing his, two companions at the door,
Domino went to the counter and
offered the clerk, Mrs. Emma j.

After sizing up the situation, he
turned as if to leave and then

youth around the shoulders. He
