 RepOrter)
 State Capitol, Hartford, April 3O-The Senate has been % frequently out of order at this session that Lieutenant. Cow ernor OdeII Shepard has had to wield his gavel overtime, but 1t was a different story yester. day afternoon. When an unfavorable report came in on . bill forbidding 'immodesty and display" on public beaches and at sunbath centers, the members of the circle were all attention as the full text was read. As the clerk finished, Dr. Shepard said dryly:
 "1 would like to congratulate the members of the Senate for the quiet which prevailed while this bill was being read. It was perhaps the first time in the session that such order pre- vailed"
 There were some red faces in the chamber as the committees report was accepted and the bill rejected.

cuse for Sylvester Bennett hitting another dry hole while he drills for water on the new school site near the bull barns. He can read in this volume the exact depth at which to extract liquid enough from the bowels of the earth to keep the children clean and healthy. The WPA has simplified everything for Sylvester and we hope to hear of him bringing in a gusher real soon, now.
 It will certainly be an experience for those school children tO get . drink just by turning . faucet. For years, our school kids have been forced to carry water from home or get 1t from some we'll in the neighborhood. The children usually had leaky buckets and most of the water was lost before they got back to school with 1t. Sometimes the moppets took up . collection to buy . bucket; again, . kind neighbor would provide . pail. All in all, it was . most un. satisfactory way of watering the pupils. An artesian we'll will cef- tainly prove more satisfact0Ey, # SylvesteF's drill doesn't break.
 We see by the papers that the "loWer grades of White Oak School now have the same hours as the older children, discontinue ing the practice of having the buses take the youngsters home ai1 hour earlier"
 About . year ago, we specified more efficient and economical school kid transportation and cal- led attention to the fact that our buses frequently were forced to travel twice over the same long route to pick up . child of an In. fluential citizen who thought his offspring needed special service. Figuring haulage at five cents . mile, many taxpayers got more cash value in service than did the millrun of citizens. This is . dem- ocraCy. Kids should be treated alike. One trip, to . distant station to pick up school children Is far more than most of us ever expec- ted. Gas prices are advancing and we're glad to sec the town saving money.
 Probably the toughest memory of childhood is being short leg. ged and built lowdown, close to the road. When . child of the sos had to burrow through three foot snowdrifts with only tighteen inch legs 1t was tough travelling and ed- ucation seemed to be hardly worth the effort involved. Kids used to pray for a crust on the snow heavy enough to support them. Mittens used to be lost in the drifts. Frost- bite was common. About the only joy a school kid got out of living after Q Smile ramble through the drifts, was the chance to peg c snowfall at the schoolmarm.
 Sometimes 1t seems that young sters learn more when they won an education the hard way. Intelli- gence seemed to be sharpened by the very frost on the school house window on Q zero morning. Weary legs stopped aching about noon and toes thawed out enough to burn, but the arithmetic, geo. graphy, and American History inc haled warmed the brain cells and made a youngster glad he was liv. ing in 9 crude land before the days of super heated school buses and conditioned school houses where kids now absorb . different brand of learning.

Kelly Seeks Means
OF Raising Motorcycle
Police Squad 10 100
IS on Actual Detail
Is rs Short of
Number Authorized

Means of increasing the number
of metropolitan police assigned to
motorcycle duty will be sought at
once, Acting Police Chief Edward
j. Kelly announced today.
At the conference between the
Commissioners and traffic, police.
highway and legal officers of the
District attention was directed to
the fact that the Police Depart
ment now is not nearly up to its
authorized quota of motorcycle men,
a total of 80.
The department now has but so
men on motorcycle assignment, and
there are but SIS on actual motor
cycle detail.
Total of 100 Wanted.
The group of District officials
agreed yesterday there should be
at least 100 men assigned to motor
cycle duty. Due to an inadvertence,
The Star stated yesterday they had
agreed there should be 100 more"
motorcycle men. Rather the idea
was there should be total of 100
Acting Chief Kelly said there had
been some reluctance in the past
for men to volunteer for motorcycle
duty, despite the fact that some
additional compensation is offered
for this service He said he would
study the problem to see how the
motorcycle force might be brought
promptly to the present authorized
strength of 80 and also how the
total might be increased to 100.
Needed in Congestion.
you can't assign man to motor
cycle duty unless he can ride such
a vehicle" said the police execu-
tive. But we will try to work 1t out
as soon as possible"
Because of the hazard and possible
extra discomfort entailed in riding
a motorcycle former Police Chief
Ernest w. Brown refused to order"
any policeman to accept motorcycle
duty.
The group of officials agreed yes
terday more motorcycle men were
needed as one step to help correct
Washingtons traffic congestion
problems.

Washington citizens seeking to en-
roll as volunteers in an auxiliary po
lice force here during the national
emergency were requested today to
register at the District Council of
Defense headquarters. sol Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV, instead of police

of the Council of Defense for the
Washington area. announced the
change of registration Offices, a move
which has met with Police Depart
ment approval.
1000 Names Received.
At police headquarters. it was
explained that large numbers of
volunteers have appeared seeking
other defense assignments than
police work and they had to be re-
ferred to the council headquarters.
Col. Bolles said that police and
fire volunteers would be enrolled
under the same procedure as other
defense workers and their registra-
tions forwarded either to police or
fire department headquarters. With
trained corps of registrars avail
able at the defense office, work of
registering will be expedited, it was
pointed out.

of volunteers has not yet been de-
cided by police heads, although it
is understood they will aid regulars
n case of large fires, air raids. in
cidents of sabotage and in main
tanning police and fire lines.

BY CHRIS A. MATHISEN,

FREDERICKSBURG, Va. Sept.
27-Common hounds were literally
two for a nickel here yesterday. and
a handsome Great Dane brought SIS,
as the city held the annual revival
of its tradition-steeped dog mart.
N B. Kinsey. a fixture of the
event, summoned the buyers with
his proudest possession, bell the
history of which he said could be
traced back 200 years. Mr.. Kinsey
declared he had served as a crier
in Fredericksburg for IS years and
began demonstrating his prowess
with tireless flow of gibberish that
was a cross between the tobacco
auctioneer's chant and scat"
singers inhibition-free shoutings.
He used the English language SPAR
ingly but forcefully.
This is the dog you have been
waiting for!"
Mr.. Kinsey grasped the public ad-
dress system microphone and
scanned the crowd of several thou
sand about the stand and sprawled
over the steps of James Monroe High
School Stadium. Some spectators
apparently had been'waiting for the
undistinguished canine. and small
bids were offered. The animal
changed hands for SIPS.
What am I bid for both of these?"
Five Cents Buys Hounds.
The auctioneer hoisted pair OF
hounds onto the table The crowd
was not attracted to the creatures
although they appeared ready to
serve as some mans best friends
Finally, Louis w. Bradley of Spot
sylvania Store, who was on hand for
the fun of it, called out, Five
centSl"
Mr. Kinsey sought further bids for
a few seconds, then blandly an
nounced their sale to Mr.. Bradley
since the owner had specified no
minimum. The abashed buyer came
to the stand, succeeded in putting
the purchase price ION the cuff" as
he had no change with him, and led
the hounds away. A few minutes

Sold" said Mr.. Bradley. He
stopped to detach the chain leash,
but the second purchaser insisted he
was entitled to that, too, for his
half dollar.
No Minimum on Great Dane.
Ralph May of R. F. D. became
the owner of a black-spotted white
Great Dane for SIS. Mr.. Kinsey's
high hat was knocked askew, and
his swallow-tail coat was paved
during his efforts to get its 13(
pounds onto the table which served
as auction block. The fact that the
owner had placed no minimum
price on the husky 3-year-old oc.
casioned some surprise among mem.
bers of the committee. She ex-
planned a member of her household
suffered from hay fever and wa.
allergic to animal hair.
"He eats just what the family
eats" she told admirers of the dog
There were number of bargain.

| At Little Flag
That Isn't There

The sightseeing bus slowed down
last night before the Capitol and the
man with the megaphone told the
girls from a private school:
The flag you notice flying from
the center of the Capitol is never
lowered night or day, nor at any
season"
Several girls chimed in: What
fag?"
1t was true. The f1agpole was bare.
Apparently the girls weren't the
only ones to notice the absence of
Old Glory, because the guards Office
this morning said that at least 100
persons had called in.
'It seems some people have moth
ing better to do than watch that
