D. {. Food Costs Rise
8 Pei. Over Year AGO

Retail food costs in the District
increased 81 per cent between April
Is and May Is, and we're 81 per cent
higher than in May, 1910, the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics reported
yesterday.
Fruits and vegetables advanced
Sc per cent during the month, eggs
were 81 per cent higher, and in
creases were reported for several
other items in the family food bas-
ket. Meat prices, however, declined
IA per cent.
For the 81 cities covered by its
survey. the bureau reported an
average increase of Ia per cent.
Rising without interruption during
the last six months, costs are now
81 per cent above the November,
1910 level, and So per cent above
thai of last May.
The increase in May was chiefly
the result of contra seasonal ad-
vances for dairy products and higher
prices for fresh fruits and vegeta-
oles, pork and lamb, the bureau re-
ported.
Average costs increased during
the month in As cities, declined in
4, and in l there was no change.
The four cities reporting a drop
in fOoG costs were Atlanta, New
Orleans, Detroit and Richmond.

dc. HeadsGiive
.Forma|Approva|
Action Is Taken After
Gen. Kutz Expresses
Favor for Program

Formal approval lin principle" Of
the S44,450,000 highway planning
program drafted by Highway Di-
rector H. C. Whitehurst was voted
by the Commissioners yesterday
after Brig. Gen. Charles w. Kutz
Engineer Commissioner, who pre-
viously had withheld comment on
the plan, expressed his approval.
Commissioners Young and Hazen
informally Endorsed the program
last Wednesday, but Gen. Kutz did
not join in the action because, he
said, he had not had time to study
the report. The Engineer Commits
Sioner disclosed yesterday he had
spent several hours on Memorial
Day going over various phases of
the program with Capt. Whitehurst
Told to Prepare Legislation.
Following yesterdays action the
city heads sent the Whitehurst plan
to Corporation Counsel Richmond
B. Keech with instructions to pre-
pare legislation to put it into effect.
1t was pointed out that legisla-
ton will be needed to increase the
gasoline tax to finance the huge
program. Capt. Whitehurst's report
proposed a 2-cent increase. which
would provide for completion of the
proposed projects in about eight
years.
Will Await Drafts.
Commissioner Hazen has sug-
gested that it might be more de-
sirable to raise the gas tax by only
! cent and spread the program
over a longer period. He indicated
yesterday. however. that he would
wait until the legislative drafts are
sent to Congress before taking a
formal stand on the gasoline tax
increase.
Officials said legislation also will
be prepared to extend the use of
parking meters in the downtown
area, to amend the District paving
assessment law and to cover the
proposed municipal development OF
fringe" parking facilities near the
congested downtown area. The
Whithurst report suggested the
present paving assessment law be
amended to provide only for the
assessment Of curb and gutter in
connection with road improvement

Civil Service Status
For Supervisor Of
Small Loans Urged
Request to Be Placed
Before House District
Committee June 9

An amendment to bill now
pending before the House to per-
nit small loan companies to operate
in the District on 2 per cent
interest rate per month was sought
yesterday by the Civil Service Com
mission.
In letter to Chairman Randolph
Of the District Committee, Com
mission President Harry B. Mitchell
suggested change in the measure
that would require the supervisor
Of loan agencies position that
would be created-to have a civil
service status. The bill in its pres
ent form would permit appointment
of supervisor without recourse to
civil service requirements
The President has authority I'M
der the Civil Service Act to direct
by executive order any necessary ex-
emptions from open competition, "
said Mr.. Mitchell. The commits
sion believes that in view of the
Presidents approval of the Rams
peck Act it is not appropriate at this
time to provide that appointments
of personnel be made without regard
to the civil service requirements. and
urges, therefore. that the bill be
amended. = >"
Representative Randolph said he
would place Mr. Mitchells request
before the full committee at its next
meeting June g.
The bill is scheduled to be called
up in the House that day, the first
District day" of the month. Mr..
Randolph pointed out if the COM
mittee approves the proposed change
at the meeting, there would still be
time to present it to the House
before action on the measure.
The special order of business at
the committees June meeting, Mr..
Randolph said. is to be a bill au-
thorizing substantial increase in
the pay of police and firemen. The
measure has been favorably reported
by the Police and Fire Subcommit-
tee, but faces strong opposition in
the full committee. The Commits
sioners have reported on it adj
verSely.

Legal Foundation in District.
In emphasis of the value of this
program to the child. DR.. John L.
Rice, commissioner of health for
New York City, issued this state
ment:
"Children-growing fast. studying
and playing hard-need foods that
build strong bones and sound teeth:
foods that build tissue and make red
blood and furnish energy. We know
that milk stands high in food value.
1t has well been called our most
nearly perfect food. Milk is essential
for your growth and development"
Washington like New York has
the legal foundation for the intro
duction of the l-cent program
which is a feature of the milkshed
milk marketing agreement. New
York has such an agreement, and
so has Washington. One clause in
the agreement provides that the
dairy farmer will accept low price
for his product from the dairy pro-
vided it is to be distributed to low
income persons.
This clause is the basis for the
relief-milk program in operation
here since last summer under which
certain designated persons may buy
milk for 5 cents quart. The clause
would also cover the i-cent pro-
gram.

Zoo Receives Pair
OF Vicunas, Rare
Animals Of Andes
GozeIIe-Iike Creatures
Are Fast Disappearing
Before Hunters Guns

The first vicunas ever seen In
Washington arrived at the Zoo yes
terdsy, two long-necked, gazellelike
creatures which have become ex-
tremely rare, even in their native
hunts high in the Andes.
Zoo Director William M. Mann
obtained the young pair in trade
with an animal Dealer. He had
tried for years TO add vlcunas TO
the South American collection here.
In Argentina and Brazil two years
ago, DR.. Mann sought in vain for a
pair of the vanishing species.
The vicuna has remained wild in
inaccessible sections of the Andes,
while other relatives of the Amer
lean camel family-llamas and al
pacas-Were domesticated by the
Indians as beasts of burden and as a
source of fine wool. The vicuna
and the guanaco have resisted do
meStication.
Make Finest POnchOS.
The Indians weave their tneSt
ponchos from the light tan and
white wool of the vicuna. Such a
blanket, worn by horsemen who
pass their heads through a slit in
the center. are soft, light and so
tightly woven that they are water
proof. They have become collec-
tors items as the vicunas retreated
higher into the Andes before the
rifles of hunters.
DR.. Mann expects to obtain sew
eral llamas to complete the local
collection of the American camel
family. The Zoo has number of
black alpacas, and DR.. Mann re-
turned from South America two
years ago with pair of guanacos.
Other additions yesterday to the
Zoo were four large Texas rattle
snakes presented by G. A. Holland,
80. of Fort Worth. whose hobby is
raising poisonous reptiles and roses.
Mr.. Holland is collector whose
enthusiasm has increased with his
years.
New Arrivals at Zoo.
DR.. Mann thanked the elderly
visitor for some of the finest rat
tiers he ever saw. incidentally, the
Zoo director has seen quite num-
Der while hunting chronological
specimens on the Western plains.
New arrivals at the Zoo include
a baby pygmy hippopotamus, born
three weeks ago to a female pre-
scented to the late President Coolidge
by the late Harvey Firestone. The
mother hippo has given birth to sew
eral babies, one of which was
snapped to circus for hippo
whose weight is reckoned in tons.
Other proud parents at the Zoo
now are pair of black-necked.
white-cheeked Can ian wild
geese. The eight goslings they
Matched on the bank of the water
fowl pools below the new Zoo Res
taurant are great favorites with
spring crowds.
