county funds.
The following day, the five COM
missioners, George Wright, Ernest
Larmore, Charles r. Parker, James
S. Adkins and H. Lay Phillips, were
convicted by a Circuit Court jury
of misfeasance in Office.
Later the entire board resigned
from Office. and Gov. O'Conor has
named new members, although none
as yet have signified their intention
OF accepting the positions.
Sentenced Themselves"
Judge johnson, in passing SEN
tence on the Commissioners, said
members of the board, by resigning,
had in effect sentenced themselves.
At no time. Judge johnson said, did
the court entertain a thought of a
prison sentence for the Commits
sioners.
Your cases must not be under
stood to be even similar to the pre-
ceding case" Judge johnson added
THE jury felt that you trusted,
at your own risk, and at the risk
of being convicted of misfeasance,

your own clerk, and that's why 1t
convicted you"
To Mrs. Day, Judge johnson de-
clared:
Your greatest mistake came when
you began living in the clouds, far
above your earning capacity.
Even if you lived to be old, you
couldn't pay for the many things
you confessed guilt to. This is on
innocent people as well as yourself" ."
Mrs. Day, who has been patient
at Peninsula General Hospital since
her collapse when the investigation
started, was again carried into court
on a stretcher for sentencing. She
was pale and silent when she heard
the courts decision.
Judge johnson, addressing the
grand jury which reconvened today
at his order, said it was thought
that there have been uncovered
other gross irregularities in connec-
ton with the defalcations" of county
funds.
The other alleged Irregularities,
he said, were due to misfeasance
or some wrong intention"
Earlier today, William S. Gordy,
jr., said he had declined Gov.
O'Conor's appointment to the new

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Sept. 29.-Oc-
cupancy of a 200-unit Federal de-
fense housing project for Fort Bel
voir employees here will be delayed
because of failure to receive some
household equipment including re-
frigerators and stoves, it was lndi-
Gated today at the office of the
Alexandria Housing Authority.
The contract completion date was
today, but it probably will be 80
days more before the builders can
turn the project over to the Federal
Government, an official at the hous-
ing office declared.
R. S. Marshall. director of the
A. H. A, declared that, while re-
frigerator and stove deliveries have
been slow, he could give no eX-
plana alton for the delay since all
materials were ordered directly by
the U. S. H A.
Another official of the local Office
said the housing project originally
was assiged a priorities number
that was pretty far down" but
that the priority subsequently had
been raised.

Lowest Army Death Rate
Is Indicated for 1910

The War Department reported
yesterday that preliminary figures
indicated the 1910 Army death rate
was the lowest ever recorded. The
rate was found to be 2.8 per 1000
men as compared with 81 in 1899.
The reduction in the death rate
was attributed to The entrance of
large number of young trainees and
National Guardsmen in the last
quarter of 1910, the absence of Sc
rious epidemics and the policy of
limiting induction to numbers that
could be housed properly.

When some one speaks OF the
desert, we are likely to think OF Two
thines-the sand and the camel
There are reasons why they nave
gone together" for thousands Oh
years.
One reason. a very important one
has to do with the shape OF tne
camels foot. Most large animals
would sink deeply into the sand OF
the desert. but the camel does not
The camel's foot has two toes,
and under the toes is broad cusf1-
ion. The cushion spreads out so
widely that the camel does not sink
much when walking or running over
ehs desert.
The camel's nose is fitted for des-
ert life. The nostrils can be closed
tightly when gust OF wind whips
Mo the sand; this saves the beast
from breathing in grains of sand
at such 8 time.
Camels can eat almost any plant
or plant product. In that regard
they could run a good race with
goats. Thorn bushes growing on the
desert would not be touched by most
grazing animals, but the camel goes
right into them and feasts. It's
mouth suffers little, if at all, when
thorns are chewed up.
Camels have been known to chew
no pieces of dry wood. So far as
gould be observed, they found 1t
pleasant enough to eat that strange

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Come Well Suited to Desert Life

Most of us would miss water
greatly If we had to 60 long time
without it, but camels can do that.
They can get along for days with
out drinking it, but they should
have it each day If possible.
The one-humped camels of Ara
bia and Northern Africa can live
from five to seven days without a
drink. The two-humped camels of
Central Asia do not have 50 much
power in that field, but they can
manage for as long as three or four
days with no water.
The secret of camel being able
to do that is found in simple fact.
1t takes its water supply along with
it when on . journey.
The water is carried inside the
stomach, where there are special
pouches which hold the water. Five
or six quarts may be stored there,
to be used up slowly rs the camel
goes from one water hole to an
other.

The actions named Sterling Prod
