Budget Bureau action on the pro-
posed amendment of the District
Revenue Act, to permit semi-annual

poration Counsel Vernon West and
Glenn Simmon.

Commissioners asked Budget Bureau
approval Of bills to exempt from the
Federal tax tickets for the inaugural
stands; to provide for the quartering
of troops to be detailed here for the
events; to authorize the Commits
sioners to issue permits for erection
OF stands and concessions, and to
authorize an appropriation of $25, 0OO
for the District to cover costs OF
inaugural facilities.
Would Transfer Law Administration
The Commissioners also sought
Budget Bureau approval of a bill
which would transfer the admins
tration of the 8-hour work law for
women from the Health Department
to the District Minimum Wage
Board.
The Commissioners said they had
mo objection" to the bill of Repre-
sentative Schwert. Democrat. of
New York. which would render in
valid the special congressional auto
mobile tags go days after the end OF
a session of Congress.
They notified the Budget Bureau

verselY on a bill to establish the
so-called Kreml traffic accident in
vestigation system in the District,
holding that many elements of this
system already are in use here; on

Will Roll Out the Barrel.
Tomorrow night Mr.. Hittenmark,
who is sponsoring the Barrel O.
Dimes as his contribution to the

He plans to trundle the red, white

adjoining the Mile O. Dimes stand,
to the night clubs in red wagon,
There the night club maestros will
pour into the big barrel the con-
tributions they have collected in lit
tie barrels distributed earlier in the
week.
Mr.. Hittenmark's Barrel O. Dimes
idea has been requested by various
other cities, so that now the barrels
are filling with dimes in Los An
geles, Oklahoma City, Des Moines
and Fort Worth, among others. In
New York the barrel has been placed
on Broadway, and entertainers from
the night clubs and the theaters
are competing to see who can take
in the most dimes during a turn at
the stand. The winner in the COM
petition will be Mr.. Hittenmark' S
guest at the birthday celebration
and will accompany him on the tour

yesterday when Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace brought $858.61
from his department in observance
of Agriculture Department day at
the stand.
1--WE have little over a street
block of dimes now" he said, but
we hope to get two blocks. We're
going to call on some of the outlying
agencies of the department to pro-
vide the rest"
He explained the incentive be-
hind the cooperation of the Agri-
culture Department was the good
the dimes would ultimately do in the
battle against infantile paralysis.
He also voiced his approval of the
work being done in research, for
which part Of the money is raised.
Another guest at the stand yes
terday was Red" Shelton, who is
appearing at the Earle Theater this
week and will be one of the Birthday
Ball attractions. AS snow started
to fall over the stand Mr.. Shelton
interrupted his stream of jokes to
offer to come back and shovel the
snow away from the microphone.
Brig: Gen. Frank T. Hines, adj
ministrator of the Veterans Admin
istration, deposited $685. on the line
for his agency yesterday The JUS
tice Department., which contributed
earlier in the campaign, was err
roneously reported as having given
$50 when the correct sum was 1854.
Some 400 marching men braved
the snow last night to parade to
the stand when the 5th Battalion,
Marine Corps Reserve, delivered its
contributions to the Mile O. Dimes
Led by motorcycle escort, the
"leatheruecks" marched from their
armory on Indiana avenue NV. to
the stand. AS the battalion band
played THE Halls of Montezuma,"
the men filed past to drop their
dimes on the red-painted track
under its frosty covering. 1t. Col.

More Visits Site of
Lathe Mil He Built

Early in the spring of 1888 five mer
started west from Crawford, Neb., 60
ing by team and covered wagon over
an almost trailleSs wilderness. The
men included G. L. Stowen of Hill
county, who lives four miles north OF
Fresno dam The other men were
Walter Ruffcorn, Eli Shields, George
Henwood and Warren Goodwin. The
incentive was a desire to see the west
The men and their covered wagon
travelled game trails over unfenced
lands, where cattle were roaming. They
camped at the site of the then recent
Custer massacre and were forced to
build a pontoon bridge over Big Horn
river. They reached Livingston in
July, 1885,
Of those five men, only c. L Stowell
is living. He lived in and near Liy-
ingston during the days when it was
a growing western town and railroad
center, while the Northern Pacific
was advancing westward
Stowen returned to Iowa but came
back to Montana, this time to Hill
county, in 1917.
These five men of whom he is the
only survivor in 1889 built lathe mill
on Rock creek in the Crazy mountains,
IS miles north of Livingston.
This summer Stowell and his wife

ter, Mrs. Florian Higgins, and husband.

West Point of Air" Was
Named to Honor Montana Man

With air-minded youth of today
yeaTning for aviation it Is fitting tc
recall that Kelly field, near San An
tonic, Tex, the famed West Point OF
the Air" is named after a Montanan
c. E. M Kelly, whose name was
given to the field, was young Eng
lishman who came to Great Falls in
1896, Immediately became a citizen ci
the United States and went to work
in the smelters.
In 1908 he enlisted in the coast ar
tillery, later was given a commission
as second lieutenant in the infantry
science Of fighting in the air
At air fighting Kelly became quite
proficient and often was in charge
Of instructing recruits. However, planes
were not as reliable then as today nor
was the space for their operation
granted with such freedom. The fly
ing field was adjacent to infantry
quarters and there was not lot Of
room for maneuvering on the then
experimental field at San Antonio.
On bright May morning in 1911
Lieutenant Kelly went aloft in his
biplane. Through defective structure
tubes controlling his plotting gear were
bent and the plane refused to land
properly.
Kelly did not discover the fault until
his plane was near the ground and
along at a high rate of speed.
He saw he could not check the plane
before it would crash through the
tents where hundreds of infantry men
were sleeping.
Rather than crash the tents Kelly
suddenly threw his plane into a sharp
bank near the ground. The plane
