Puris' Theoter Vexes

City officials of Paris are vexed
over what to do with the famous
Theater Sara Bernhardt, which Is
owned by the city. Many impress
sarios would lease it if the building
were in good condition, but the cost
to make it so is considered pro-
hibitive. A plan to tear 1t down and
plant a garden on the site might re-
quire more money than the repairs.
To convert it into a gymnasium also
would be too expensive. And to leave
1t as 1t is now demands annual re-
pairs costing over So, 1000.

Cross-Town Bus
Line Fuvored

Charging the form of District gov
ernment Is "outmoded. cumbersome
and wasteful," Wilbur S. Finch,
chairman of the District Suffrage
Committee, last night told members
of the Burroughs Citizens Associa-
ton that the system was bound to
be changed to city council as a
governing body which constitution
ally should be elected by the people
and not appointed by the President" !"
"A city council form of govern
ment would save the District of Co.
lumbia $30OO,OO0 a year." Mr.. Finch
said.
Mr.. Finch introduced to the asso-
citation a plan whereby the citizens
of the District are urged to, send
specially prepared post cards of the
District Suffrage Association to Rep
resentative Randolph, chairman of
the House District Committee, and
other members of the committee, to
remind them of the fight for ma
tional representation. Petitions also
are being promoted for the same
purpose, he stated. and a goal of
$4,000 signatures is expected to be
reached.
Favors Complete Presentation.
Get before Congress a complete
program of suffrage and we have
gained our first step. I do not know
of any question that has received
so much attention and co-opera-
ton Mr.. Finch concluded.
Acting on a communication from
the Citizens Forum of Columbia

which was 86 pounds, top weight to
date. His angler got the marlin up
to the boat and Capt. Savage
grabbed the fish by the snout as
usual and prepared to administer
the works with the billy" or per
suader." That consists of tapping
the fish on the head to kill it. So
Capt. Savage reached for the per-
suader only to find it missing from
the regular spot. Another member
of the party had it. He was so ex-
cited that instead of giving the bat
to the captain he used 1t himself,
and of course missed the fish entirely
and smacked down on Capt. Saw
ages hand.
This time last year we were COM
menting on the first marlin there
and wondering when the next one
would be caught Now about two
dozen already have been taken, and
10 or Is more could be taken every
day If enough anglers were giving it
a try.

pounds. Dennis M. Rogers of Wash
ington went fishing with Mears on
Monday and of seven strikes they
landed three.
Bottom fishing also is prime.
One angler and the guide
landed 81 trout, the largest Of
which was 6 pounds.
Another boat had 80 trout and 20
kingf1sh. That sort of bottom fish
ing also is good at Ocean City. If
you want bottom fishing, however,
and do not intend to try for blues or
marlin, the boat rates are appre-
ciably lower at Wachapreague.
In the excitement of marlin fish
ing at Ocean City. little attention
has been paid to blues. They still
are there, although a slight slack
has been noted within the last
week or so. Top weight is a shade
under five pounds.

TO tell. just lew Gays ago, me-
writes, an angler in a rowboat was
fishing in rough east wind. He
hooked a bonita and during the
rough battle the boat filled with
water and sank. The angler waded
ashore with the fish still hooked and
fighting and finally beached it. The
cabio weighed Ct pounds. This is
a true story Capt. Topping adds in
his footnote.
Capt. Eddie Bowen of Solo
mons also reports good fishing
except no blues. 1t is way too
early for them at Solomons.
They are catching from 80 to 200
hardhead and 5 to Is trout per boat.
Lots Of rock also there, but only oc-
casionally are they biting.
Hardhead likewise still are run
ming fairly strong on the Gooses,
according to information from Uncle
Billie's Pier. North Beach. Washing
ton anglers have been doing all
right there. Fred Saunders and Les
ter Lee caught so averaging 2
pounds. Another party, including
William Daniels, sr. and jr., and
John Stevenson, George Calvelas
and John Donselberger, caught 40
averaging 112 pounds. Both catches
were on the Gooses. The moon seems
) to be in the wrong phase for the
gigantic hauls of about two and
three weeks ago, but apparently
plenty of fish still are biting, enough
for your immediate needs, anyway.
Atlantic Jumpin' Jacks.
The marlin at Ocean City con-
tinue to make news. From four to
six per day have been caught this
week, and every boat going out has
seen them. Jimmy Jarman of the
Breakers Hotel writes that the only
reason they are not catching more
marlin is because no mare parties
are going out. On Wednesday, for
example, four boats went out, and
three of them landed marlin. The
other boat hooked one, but the an
glers were not experienced enough
to get the big pikesnout in.
The first Washington angler
to score was Mrs. C. L. Parker.

more reason plucky little Mrs.

Pope, was one Of the best girl golfers
we ever had in Washington, is being
hailed in feminine links circles as q
real champion. And also the reason
why Mrs. Judson c. Dale is being
looked upon as one of the coming
prize winners.
Mrs. Kreuzberg and Mrs. Dale to-
day played of at Indian Springs

Mueh-MoIigned Bonuro
Comes Into His Own
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star

NEW YORK, June 80 (N.A.N.A0-
The most maligned ball player in
the major leagues this year-I mean
Zeke Bonura, of course-is coming
into his own at last. His hitting
pulled the Giants up out of no.
where and, with the Reds and the
Cardinals staggering somewhat, has
made them real threat again. His
fielding is getting better all the
time-although if he just goes on
hitting in his present form Bill
Terry isn't likely to care greatly
how he fields.
Zeke was a victim last spring OF
a lot of talk that was as loose as
his fielding was supposed to be.
For some reason or other, as soon
as the Giants got him on waivers
from the Senators. there was al
most concerted effort on the part
of some American Leaguers to make
the big fellow look bad
Apparently Zeke simply was caught
up in a situation. His passing from
the American League to the Ma
tional provided an opening for more
cracks about worn-out American
Leaguers always being able to make
themselves useful in the National
To hear some of the cracks, you
would have thought Zeke was an
aged and creaking veteran who
never had been able to play ball,

acuteness Of their hearing mechan-

Easy to Spare Dog.
1t is a comparatively easy matter
to spare your dog this trial If
you have a basement, leave him
there for the day, and for most of
the day or two preceding and fol-
lowing the 4th.
II you are modern cliff
dweller, let him stay with you
as much as possible these few
days.
When it is impossible to be with
him, lock him in the inmost room
of your apartment, the one that
least is likely to be reached by the
noise, and, if possible, the one that
is least likely to be damaged should
he go berserk.
If yours is particularly noisy
apartment or section of town, then
take him for three or four days to
some quiet, country, boarding ken
mel. place off the road, away from
town, where they guarantee not to
shoot off fireworks. The separation
may not suit him, but 1t will dam
age him less than the stay in town.
A Doggy Metamorphosis.
The need for grooming. trimming,
etc. of dogs is understood very i'm
perfectly by many pet owners. This
clearly was demonstrated by a re-
cent case of a woman who called at
a local kennel with her dog and the
complaint that she had been gypped
in its purchase. The dog had been
represented to her as pure-bred,
registered wire-haired terrier, but
she was sure it was not One glance
at the animal convinced the kennel
owner that the dog was pure-bred,
although not Of show quality. How
can you tell?" asked the owner. OF
course, the only answer was by the
dogs appearance"
This did not satisfy the
skeptical owner, but she was
persuaded to have the dog
trimmed according to the
Evening star., 1939-06-30

standard of his breed, and
gasped when she saw him an
hour later.
To her it was an unbelievable
transformation and she went of
happy in the knowledge that her
dog was pure-bred and approxi-
mated somewhat the mental picture
she had formed of what she wanted
before she bought the puppy.
Trimming Changes Disposition.
An added dividend of the trim
ming, for the dog at least, was the
uncovering of multitude of f1eas
and ticks which had been worrying
the poor animal until it was nervous
and irritable. The removal of these
parasites seemed to effect an almost
immediate change in the dogs dis
position. He came into the kennel
jumpy and bad tempered. When
he went out he was frolicsome and
happy. He seemed to know he
looked better and he undoubtedly
felt better at the loss of his un-
wanted guests.
