Homes for 10000 People.
In less than six years 6.28l apart

fast growing suburb of Washington.
Over twice as many apartment units
have been put up in Arlington Coun-
ty since 1886 as in all the rest Of
Metropolitan Washington outside

houses were built. This is a total of
9,707 housing units. or enough to

Natures Children
Blue Grab
(Callinectes sapidus)

Just before Matching time, which is
from Is TO 90 days, when the mass
becomes black.
The young crab is almost invisible,
since it is about 25th of an inch
long. But under a magnifying glass
you make out a round body, seven
pair of appendages very different
from those of its parents, and a
long. rounded tail. AT this stage the
crablet is called zoea. This
youngster sheds its shell often, each
time emerging more robust than
before. At the fifth shedding the
zoea changes into form that more
nearly resembles the adult. Now it
is known as megalops. When the
megalops changes his tight skin
he has gained considerable size and
is about one-eighth of An inch
across. He resembles his parents in
all ways except size when he is one
month old.
From now on. the young crab
feasts and changes or moltS as the
old shell becomes too tight. The new
one is soft and more roomy. but the
shell hardens rapidly and is really
hard in two days. At the final molt.
the female crabs acquire a broad
apron to replace the pointed one

Blue crabs and all crabs are
scavengers With their constant ef-
forts to find food. the waters are
kept free of Objectionable decaying
matter.
The body of the crab differs In
shape from that of the lobster or
the crayfish. 1t is fiat. short and
broad. The first pair of legs bears
large, strong pincers and the fifth
pair is much f1attened. These are
for swimming; the pincers protect
their owner from foes and assist in
raking in food.
Crabs are beligerent and fight
any animal regardless of size. They
are swift travellers, making as good
speed in reverse as forward. Their
favorite hunting ground is a muddy
bottom with an abundance of eel
grass. where the water is shallow.
Through the clear water of a bay
or estuary. it is possible to observe
crabs creeping or swimming about
in search of food, and it is not un-
usual to witness a scrap between

Either type is insurance against

Two-Thirds Of BOYS
In Soap Box Derby
To Receive Awards
Long List Of Prizes
Announced for
Saturdays Races

Two-thirds of the boys taking part
in WaShington'S fourth annual Soap
Box Derby next Saturday will re-
ceive awards and all will carry away
souvenirs, Zeb T. Hamilton, director
of the coaster race, pointed out to-
day as he checked over the official
prize list in Derby headquarters.
Before his car has been placed on
the starting ramp, each entrant will
have received Derby racing jersey
and a steel racing helmet" Mr.
Hamilton explained. Winners of
the first heats will receive medals,
and those who come in second will
get ribbons. Since there are but
three contestants to a heat, two out
of every three boys racing will be
given prizes.
Variety of Trophies.
Cups, donated by the American
Legion, will be the cleaning awards
presented to boys winning out in the
second heats. Then, as the program
continues, fellows having speedy cars
will find themselves picking up S5
and $40 sports equipment orders.
There are medals for first and sec
onf places in each class, given by
Chevrolet. The boys who place sec
ond and third in the final city stand
ings will get bicycles, gifts of local
Chevrolet dealers, and the fourth
placer will take home a portable
radio.
FINALLY, there is the winner Of
winners-the Washington Soap Box
Derby champion. He will be pre-
sented the big silver M. E. Coyle
Trophy, donated by the general
manager of the Chevrolet Motor
Division, and will get the trip to
Akron, Ohio, for the national finals,
August II. His expenses and those
of a parent or guardian will be paid
for him. In Akron, our champ will
be given a wristwatch and a chance
at the big national prizes-topped
by that four-year scholarship to the
college Of the winners choice"
Many Special Prizes.
Several valuable special prizes are
10 be distributed after the local
competition, the Derby chief added.
He listed the Collins & Aikman
award, a fountain pen and pencil
set, for the car adjudged the best
upholstered. Sydney Selinger, jewel
er, has contributed two watches, one
TO be given to the builder of the
best-designed car and the other to
the boy whose racers brakes are
found to be best. Chevrolet also has
provided medals to be given for these
two distinctions. The American
Legion-sponsored youngster who
progresses the farthest in the racing
will be given special award.
That's a big prize list and we
don't want any boys to miss out on
their chances at the awards because
they did not follow instructions"
Mr.. Hamilton declared. Each boy
should check his racer carefully be-
fore turning it in Monday to the
Chevrolet dealer with whom he
registered. Above all, he should fol-
low exactly the schedule outlined in
the final orders. sent to him through
the mail-the letter accompanied by
the racing numbers. grandstand
tickets and lunch ticket. If he has
not received this letter, he should
get in touch with Derby headquar-
ters in the Star Building Monday
