Sample Home
Nearly Ready

ARLINGTON. Va, May Five
sample wood-constructed homes
that can be built for $4,000 under
the no-down-payment plan of the
Federal Housing Administration,
are nearing completion in Airing
ton county.
The homes, baptized the "Certi-
grade Quintuplets," will be sub
jected to critical inspection by
delegates to the annual conven'
ton of the National Retail Lum.
Der Dealers Association in Wash.
ington next Tuesday and Wednes-
day.
Officials Of the association,
which sponsored construction Of
the demonstration homes, said
they can be purchased under the
FILA plan for as little as 5000 a
month on the basis of a 20-year
insured mortgage. In metropoli-
tan areas, the peak cost can be
financed for a maximum of $18.36
a month.
Red cedar shingles are used for
construction of the walls and roof.
The floors are hemlock. A small
gable roof and attached garage
eliminate the "box" effect that
has been a major objection to
small homes in the past.

Man ReenUctS
Robbery

A holdup accompanied by gun
fire, which occurred year ago,
was reenacted in a grocery store
at 1901 New Jersey Ave. S. E.
last night so the owner might
identify the bandit who had con-
feSSed the crime.
The accused, Winston Howard
Andrews, %, alias China Boy"
Andrews, of the 300 block of Third
st. N. W., confessed to police that
it was he who attempted to hold
up Luther Adams, proprietor OF
the store, about a year ago:
Adams, however, said that he
had been held up 80 often" he
was not sure he could identify
this particular bandit who dropped
his pistol and fled when the
store owner opened fire.
So, to refreshen the store pro
prietor'S mory. police took
"China Boy" Andrews to the store
last night and had him reenact
the crime.
Immediately Adams recalled the
incident and identified Andrews
as the bandit. Andrews was ar
rested April 81 when police sur
prised two men attempting tc
hold up the Capital Transit bul
terminal at Fourteenth and Blu
chanan Streets Northwest.

along with them was population of
perhaps 5000 coyotes and 200 cougars
and bobcats.
Foresters help the big game by
killing off many of their natural
enemies; by seeing that too many
animals do not winter in one area
and cause feed shortage; and indi-
rectly, by studying their foraging and
ranging habits as guide towards
the regulating of hunting seasons.
THIS winter work is interesting and
full of thrills. Men seldom go
into the more mountainous sections
without bringing back tales of hard
ships endured. and some often barely
escape death from freezing.
Once an experienced woodsman
passed too close to steep cliff while
tracking down cougars. A sudden slide
caught and buried him beneath tons
of snow, from which he eventually
freed himself and went on about his
hunting
Another time. two foresters, seek
ing shelter at Elk Summit Station in
the Bitterroot Mountains, found the
cabin which held their precious food
supply had disappeared Only after
long search did they discover an
unfamiliar snow mound, into which
they dug for three hours before finally
being able to open the door and reach
their rations within.
A ranger told an odd tale of bob
cat. One very cold night, too tired

to plOd on TO his cabin, he made camp
in lean-to, where fuel had been
stocked previously. Not daring to fall
completely asleep for fear the fire
would burn out, he lay fully aware
of every sound which disturbed the
stiffness of the woods.
SOMETHING creaked behind him.
He listened Whatever il was
seemed to be walking up to the lean
to. Pulling his gun closer, he waited.
Then from behind the lean-to crept a
sleek bobcat, for all the world like a
huge tomcat, with eyes glistening IN
the freight Silently padding to the
other side Of the fire, il relaxed in the
heat. warming first one side and then
the other. The ranger fingered his
gun, but he did not have the heart
to shoot even a bobcat who shared
his fire and finally his unwelcome
guest yaWned, got to his feet and
SUNK away INTO the white night.
Whenever men of the Forestry Serv-
ice gather together. they tell tales
such as these. Or they talk of their
summer activities when fires must
be checked, areas surveyed, timber
cruised and ranges managed

the veteran Maine guide continued,

stick on our night campfire back be-
side Eagle Lake, that is, if 1 liked
the outdoors as much as you boys
do"
But more than mere love of the
woods is necessary for one to become
a successful forester. Three or four
years must be spent at one of the COL
leges which offer a course in forestry,
studying in both classroom and field
such subjects as physiology, soils, wood
anatomy, forest biology, and range
management. This, combined with
actual vacation work in the woods,
fits one to try the Civil Service ex-
animation for junior forester and
junior range examiner.
With this highly technical exami-
nation passed, the junior forester is
ready for appointment to a training
position as assistant to a ranger or a
supervisor, at a salary of between
81 900 and 81 500 a year. From there
he can work up by P. system Of pro-
motion to the position of supervisor
at salary of up to 400, or even
higher in the executive offices. Or
with valuable government training be-
hind him, he can enter private en-
ployment.

over. he will tell you that Shirley
learns not merely her lines, but the
whole Interpretation of her part much
more quickly and apparently with far
less effort than adults in the same
casts
Even more enthusiastic is Norman
Taurog. Mr.. Taurog, who looks like
character out of The Wizard of
o." which may explain his aptitude
for the job, is the busiest director of
child stars in Hollywood 1t was he
who produced two OF the most sue
cessful pictures Of that type in the
last year, Tom Sawyer and Deanna
Durbin's Mad About Music"
Children" says Mr.. Taurog, ignor-
ing the fact that he must be discon-
certing a large percentage of the
worlds parents, "are very easy to
handle before the camera. They are
much more natural and unaffected
than the most talented adult per-
formers"
Mr.. Taurog offered emphatic proof
of his point in the performance of
young Tommy Kelly in the title role
of Tom Sawyer" AS every one
knows, young Tommy never had seen
movie camera before he began work
on the picture. His playing, under
the direction of Mr.. Taurog, gave
absolutely no indication that he had
not been living on a sound stage since
babyhood.

the show will be stolen from them by

to credit child performers with much

tnought the prize should nave gone
to Freddie Bartholomew AS every
one knows, Freddie played the poor
little rich boy in the same film. an
absolutely brilliant portrayal every

In the awarding of Academy prizes,
however. it has been a practice to
ignore child Dlavers in HOLLYWOOD II
is a practice, however. that has been
challenged and may soon be corrected.

have the satisfaction of seeing such
