Report Over Week End

Secretary of Interior Ickes said
TO-DAY ne plans to make a week end
study of the recommendations con-
tanned in special report on the
park system in the District which
was submitted to him last Monday.
Il have not had an opportunity
to examine this report yet, so can
not comment on it at this time" he
said. Il am taking it home to give
it a careful reading over the week
end" He indicated he would no
doubt release the report for pub
Ication soon thereafter.
The survey of park problems and
the report, made at Mr. Ickes' order,
is to furnish the basis of a civil
service examination to decide who
shall succeeded C. Marshall Finan,
who resigned August / as superin-
tendent Of the National Capital
parks. A general reorganization of
many of the local park policies is
believed to have been recommended
in the report, which was made by
Capt. Charles G. Sauers, superin-
tendent of the Cook County pre-
serve district of Illinois, and H. S.
Wagner, director-secretary of the
Akron (Ohio metropolitan park dis
trict.

The Zoos egg-laying California
condor died yesterday without re-
producing any offspring to help
keep alive a disappearing species.
The largest winged birds Of the
Americas have all but disappeared
from California skies since the fe-
male specimen arrived here in 1903,
q downy chick the size of big hen.
In succeeding years the bird laid
one and sometimes two eggs each
spring. The mother bird was segre-
gated from the two males in hope
she would hatch the eggs.
She kept breaking her eggs, con-
sidered by collectors the most valu-
able in the world-the geological
catalogues list them at $3.50 each.
The eggs later were placed in incu-
bators, and under faithful hens, but
no chicks emerged.
Pet of Late DR.. Langley.
The bird was a special pet of the
late DR.. Samuel Langley, secretary
Of the Smithsonian Institution. DR..
Langley often visited her cage when
she was q chick. She would unite
the scientists shoelaces and hide
her face IN his cupped hands. DR..

strange pet pull down the socks of
her keeper.
The three chicks presented to the
Zoo were taken from a rare nest
near Piru City, Calf, by w. B.
Whitaker around the turn of the
century. The big birds even then
had been virtually exterminated by
poison meats laid out for wolves and
coyotes by ranchers of Lower Cali
fornia.
The birds here have gone almost
unnoticed by the public, although
they have been known for years to
ornithologists and nature lovers.
Sea Lion in War.
The loss will be made up in part
anyhow in a few days with the
arrival of a sea lion from the Lon
don Zoo. The keepers there had
become so attached to the animal
they wished to send it to a haven
safe from possible bombs from the
sky.
The sea lion was put aboard an
American freighter due in New
York in few days. For the dura-
ton Of the war he will share q
large, fresh-water pool with the
only sea Hons owned by the Zoo.

I'D. T.. Fire Station
Shifts Recommended
In Experts Survey
ReIocutions Held
Possible Without
Reducing Efficiency

Thirteen changes in the location
of District fire stations have been
agreed to by experts of the National
Fire Protection Association Of Bos-
ton and the National Board Of Fire
Underwriters, District officials an
nounced late yesterday as they re-
leased further recommendations
from private organizations in con-
nection with their current survey.
The National Mutual Association,
the statement added, has suggested
a program that differs from the sug-
gestions of the other two on some
details. The proposed relocations of
stations, District officials were ad-
vised, can be made without reducing
fire-fighting efficiency and without
causing an increase in fire insurance
rates here.
Personal Inspection Made.
The latest recommendations came
from the National Fire Protection
Association. Capt. Patrick H. Tan
sey, Assistant Engineer Commission
er, who is chairman of the survey
board named by the Commissioners,
said personal inspection of all Dis
trict stations had been made by
Horatio Bond, chief engineer of the
National Fire Protection Association.
Capt. Tansey said his group also had
conferred with Percy Bugbee, general
manager. and Robert S. Moulton,
technical secretary of the associa-
ton.
The 13 changes, said to have been
approved by the two groups, and
partly so by the third association,
are as follows:
Move No. Engine Co. at 1912 M
street NV. to No. S Truck Co., at
3411 Dent place NV. The National
Fire Protection Association also sug-
gested consideration of future con-
struction of a combination station

ladder truck and police precinct
! headquarters.

Susan B. Anthony, I'd,
Seeks Replacement
OF Defaced SCULPTURE
!. -s.-' ssa5 a..
Sponsors Fund Drive
To Induce Mrs. johnson
To Carve New Work

Susan B. Anthony, I'd, shocked"
by the Disagreement of her famous
namesake's marble bust during
Sculptress Adelaide Johnson's ham,
mer-swinging session in her stu
dio. announced yesterday she
will at once open a campaign for
funds to induce Mrs. johnson to
carve replica of the damaged work.
The artist set the sum required
at s5o,0OO.
Miss Anthony. great-niece of
Americas picturesque proponent for
woman's emancipation, said she will
appeal first to officers of the League
of Women Voters, the American
Association of University Women,
the National Woman's party and
the World Center for Women's
Archives.
She visited the sculptress at her
home among the rows of snowy
busts which Mrs. johnson Clipped
with sledge hammer after failure
to sell them. The artist was faced
with eviction from the house, 230
Maryland avenue NE, which had
been sold for delinquent taxes and
unpaid mortgage Yesterday her
studio was properly heated for the
first time in over two years, she
said, by fuel supplied through Rep
resentative Sol Bloom of New York.
Artist Voices Pessimism.
A degree of pessimism was ex-
pressed by Mrs. johnson regarding
Miss Anthony's drive.
you are appealing to a genera
ton of women which is deaf, dumb
and blind" she declared. They
have no leaders. Their work is
important-in the same way that
it's important to brush your teeth. "
Young Miss Anthony assured the
artist she would send very spicy
letters telling the ladies what I think
Of their neglect"
The sculptress revealed yesterday
that her call to depict in stone the
spirit of Americas leading woman
leaders first came to her in St.
Peters Cathedral, Rome. when she
found herself musing ION why men
had to come into that church with
uncovered heads and women with
covered heads"
She rushed back to the United
States, and during 1886 made in
Washington the first of her clay
models Of Susan B. Anthony from
which her now despoiled bust was
shaped 80 years ago, she recalled.
Posed for Artist.
Susan posed for me, in her beau
tiful lace reception dress, at suffrage
headquarters in the old Riggs House,
the only hotel in town that would
admit suffragists," Mrs. Johnson
said. after I had just completed
that model, some busybody Of a
woman got in and mussed up the
nose.
II had worked a month over that
nose. Susan was just starting on a
lecture tour, but I caught her at the
train-and she unpacked her trunks
and sat Tor me an additional week.
"She didn't do it because she was
interested in a picture of herself
She knew she was a historic char
acter, and above all she was anxious
to help a struggling young artist"
Mrs. johnson referred all specific
questions regarding her financial
situation to Representative Blooms
Office. There it was announced that
in addition to an offer of $1,U00 by
a New York nurse, small gifts have
been coming in.
II must simply wait to see what
happens" said Mrs. johnson. OF
remaining undamaged marble work
and original clay models-if no sum-
cient aid is forthcoming-she said:
Their heads will come of1."

By |ckes in
A. A. A. Talk
Asks Support in
Plea for Funds for
U. S. TruveI Bureau

Registering his pet peeves on
motor travel in the United States,
Secretary of the Interior Ickes said
today he had promised himself some
day to take "the biggest armored
car I can find" down ''truck-in-
tested" highway, dumping these
pests from the road"
In an address to the opening ses-
sion of the American Automobile
Associations 37th annual conven-
ton in the Mayflower Hotel, Secre-
tary Ickes declared improvement in
the road manners of many Ameri-
can motorists are necessary, if the
Nations highways are to be made
attractive to tourists from other
lands.
In asking support of the automo-
tive body in obtaining funds from
Congress for an United States
travel bureau, Mr.. Ickes pointed out
increased travel to this country de-
pends, in part, on development of
"a natural courtesy found in other
lands that, in our hurry to estab-
lish ourselves materially, we have
not yet had the opportunity or the
desire to cultivate in ourselves"
He slipped into verse and re-
cited parody on Tennysons
charge Of the Light Brigade:
Trucks in the front of him;
"Trucks in the rear of him:
Trucks on each side of him
"Backfired and numbered.
His not to reason why;
His but to pass and die.

Into the fumes of Shell,

MORE LIBERTY (?) BONDS

Editor Askov American:
Pursuant to authority under the
second liberty bond act of 1917, as
amended, the treasury department
is offering $55O,OOO,OOO in bonds due
in 1850. That means another $121,-
100000 in unearned tribute for the
money manipulators.
The so-called second liberty bond
act was designed by the international
bankers to perpetuate their system
of economic slavery, and the toilers
of America have already paid more
than II billion dollars in unearned
tribute to the money lords under the
guise of interest on the World war
debt
The munition makers and money
manipulators who collect unearned
tribute, under the guise of interest,
on war bonds are the sole bene-
ficiaries of all wars.
The huge war debt and its billion
dollar annual interest burden piled
upon the backs of the toiling masses
