BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

The Third Precinct Copper is a
mimeographed paper put out now
and then by the auxiliary policemen
who work out of the station house
on K street NV. near Twentieth
street.
If you want more evidence of the
esprit that binds the VOL
unteer guardians of this precinct
and is typical of auxiliaries all over
town, 1t may be recalled that in a
room at the station set aside for
their use No. 3 men needed some
equipment to facilitate their work
There wasn't any money to buy
anything So one auxiliary con-
tributed a mimeograph machine.
Another showed up with an sdresso-
graph. Others built a filing cabinet,
put up a neat bulletin board and
drew a map of the emergency beats
And now it's one of the best equipped
headquarters in the city.
1t should be borne in mind that
auxiliaries are unpaid. that they're
giving generously of their time as
civic duty in Capital at war.
This might be considered enough.
But many of them have dug into
their pockets to make their service
more efficient.
Letter From Captain.
The commanding officer, Capt.
Oscar j. Letterman. wrote in an
early issue Of the Third Precinct
Copper:
Just an example Of the sacrifice
and whole enthusiasm
which you men are showing is very
thoroughly demonstrated by the
fact that one of our auxiliary Off
GERS, an employe in a private busi-
ness himself. working on a salary.
is paying a substitute from his own
pocket to work for him while he
completes his 20 hours of required
training"
Police Inspector Milton D. Smith
wrote Capt. Letterman commend
ing the No. 3 auxiliaries for their
courteous efficiency in controlling
the lines around a large fire, and
the inspector added: In this
troubled time. we are prone to criti-
cize rather than to commend, but
l feel that I would be remiss in my
duties if I did not convey to you
my appreciation for the services
rendered by the auxiliary police of
your precinct. Not only do they
reflect credit on themselves, but it
that fhnu
have received the proper training
and are familiar with the RESPONSE
bilities and duties which they have
assumed"

Reward Urged
To Spur Search
For Sub Bases
Tydings Suggests
$4,000 to $l00, 900
Offers by Navy
y the Associated Press.

,, the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, June Ex-senator
Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland
thinks the Navy should offer a SUBJ
stantial reward for information lead
ing to the detection of possible
enemy submarine bases in this hemi-
sphere.
In radio address yesterday. the
Senator said that in view of the large
number of ship sinkings in the
Western Atlantic he believed Axis
submarines must be receiving oil
and supplies from h;;dSen bases in
the Western Hemisphere.
The Senator said he had urged
Secretary of the Navy Knox to offer
a reward from $25 600 to 100000
for information which would lead to
the detection of the bases.
Would Spur Searches.
IF there are bases, say In the
many islands Of the Caribbean or
the Gulf of Mexico. or along the
coast of Central or South America
- the offering of such a reward
would not only stimulate searches
Tor these bases but, because of the
size Of the reward, would incline
those engaged in aiding the Axis
submarines to tell our Government
about it.
In the event that these Axis sub
marines are being supplied from
Western Hemisphere sources. if such
sources of supplies could be dis
covered and destroyed, the whole
effectiveness of the Axis submarine
campaign would be greatly mini
mized"
Suggested by Baltimorean.
He said the idea of the reward
was suggested to him by Jacob
Epstein of Baltimore The Senator
added that the Navy Department
did not believe it was feasible to
proceed In the manner suggested"
He said recently he again called the
Nays attention to Mr.. Epstein S
suggestion.
TO a considerable extent" Sena-
tor Tydings continued, they (ship-
ping losses) Offset or neutralize all
our efforts to build up our merchant
marine by launching new merchant
shipping daily. 1t is quite evident
that unless ways and means can be
found to reduce these merchant
ship losses, our shipping capacity
Tor both troops and supplies is going
to fall short Of our hopes"

Constant vigilance over the water
and milk supply throughout Mary
land was urged yesterday by DR.. c.
H. Halliday, assistant director of
the State Health Department, in
order to prevent any epidemic during
and after the war.
Dr. Halliday spoke at the Southern
Maryland Regional Conference of
the State and County Health De-
partments at the Upper Marlboro
Courthouse. The Conference was
attended by health representatives
from Montgomery, Prince Georges,
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles and
st. Mary's Counties.
DR.. Halliday declared that an in
crease could be expected in influenza
and meningistis during the emer-
gency, due in large part to the
rapid population growth. He also
warned Of possible jump in malaria
and smallpox cases, explaining that
these diseases probably would be
brought in by the people from rural
areas.
A more intensive "follow-up" of
venereal disease cases in order to
check the sources of veneral diseases
was urged by DR.. N. A. Nelson, State
deputy health officer, In charge of
venereal disease control. DR.. Nelson
also said additional funds are needed

Europe, have been cut off, also has

were feeding their birds diet of
carrots and boiled potatoes. He
added that the Zoo here has been

The Army and Navy will soon be

From Honolulu the Associated

induction was recommended by the
appeals board-Mr. King has joined

Regular Diet of Horse Meat
Solves Rutioninq at Zoo

Carnlvorous animals at the Ma
tional geological Park here will not
be affected by "meatless days"-at
least not as long as horse meat re-
mains off the ration lists.
DR.. William Mann, director of
Washington's Zoo, revealed today
that meat eaters at the Zoo have
been on a diet of horse meat for the
last two years, and that since imports
from Europe and the Orient have
been curtailed or cut of entirely
substitute rations for some of the
more delicate birds and animals have
been found.
Zoo officials say that horse meat
was used for many years at the Zoo,
but was discontinued when prices
SKY -rocketed" in about 1890. Then,
it was explained, it was cheaper to
buy beef. N
Commenting on report that the
Bronx Zoo recently has placed its
carnivorous animals upon a horse
meat diet, DR.. Mann said:
1--WE are very modest at the Zoo
here, but in all modesty I can say
that where We lead, others follow.
We have been feeding a diet of horse
meat now for the last two years.
There was q time, back during
the depression, when beef became
cheaper than horse meat and we fed
1t then, but since then we have been
feeding horse meat almost entirely"
