Conservation division officials ex-
planned that the quotas were based
On an estimate of 90 pounds yearly
per capita in rural areas and As
pounds per capita yearly in cities
and urban districts.
The smaller goals in rural COM
munities, it was explained, take in
to account extensive farm use of
waste fats in home soap making
and in feed for livestock, both con-
sistent with the policy of the cam
paign of getting fullest use from
all fats before considering them
waste.
Housewives are urged to strain
their waste cooking fats into metal
containers. The fat can should be
kept in the ice box until a pound
is accumulated, when it can be
taken to the nearest meat dealer,
who will purchase the fats.
Waste fats are urgently needed in
Americas war production program
for conversion into glycerine for x
plosiveS and to replace the supply
of vegetable oils lost to the United
States when the Japs seized most
of the far eastern sources.

Do you know that pearls grow in
coconutS? DR.. David Fairchild, ia
nous botanist and agricultural ex-
plorer, will exhibit his "Mahara jah''
COCO pearl February 16 and II as
a special feature of his show,
Secrets of the Coconut," on the
estate of Col. Robert H. Mont
gomery, near Coconut Grove, Fla,
he has informed The Star.
This pearl was presented to DR..
Fairchild some years ago by one of
the principal coconut buyers of the
Dutch East Indies, who said that in
16 years his coconut openers had
brought him only IL pearls, out of
approximately 100000 nuts opened.
Data Found on Origin.
A search for coconut pearls is
like hunting for the proverbial
needle in the haystack. One might
open a million coconuts without
finding even a trace of one.
Never having heard Of coconut
pearl, a Star reporter began to look
into the subject and found their
origin and composition explained in
an article by DR.. F. w. T. Hunger
in Nature Magazine, on January "a,
1925.
In 1866, Dr. Riedel, ex-resident of
Menado, reported that he had found
a pearl in coconut he had opened.
Though natives of the Dutch East
Indies had told many tales of their
existence, this was the first report
by an eyewitness Of an actual dis

| covery of coconut pearl, according
to DR.. Hunger.
On one of his visits to the East
| Indies a few years ago DR.. Hunger
decided to obtain as much authentic
data as possible about these pearls
and how nature forms them. His
researches led him to the conclusion
that the coconut pearl represents a
| local calcareous formation which
has been retained in the nut after
primary termination had been
checked.
Lacks Pearly Sheen.
A coconut pearl usually has the
form of pear or an egg, DR.. Hunger
pointed out. Sometimes it has an
almost spherical shape. with a
| smooth surface It's chemical COM
position is somewhat similar to that
OF oyster pearl, from which it differs,
however, by the lack Of pearly sheen.
The "cocos pearl" DR.. Hunger
said, must be looked upon as a
highly remarkable and very rare
occurrence"
DR.. Fairchild, who will exhibit his
"Maharajah" COCO pearl In Florida
next week, organized the work of
seed and plant introduction at the
Agriculture Department in 1897. AS
an agricultural explorer he has
Travelled widely in the Far East and

ment of a reDort center for fhot

Alexandra Ruling Shifted
On Reckless Driving Cases
y a Staff Correspondent of The star.

By a Staff Correspondent of The star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Feb. 12.-
Charges of reckless driving should
no longer be filed by policemen in
cases of automobile accidents where
they are not at the scene or where
there is no complaining witness,
Judge James Reese Duncan ruled in
City Court yesterday in dismissing
two motorists involved in a mishap
who refused to testify against each
other.
Previously the local traffic board
had decided that all accident cases
should be prosecuted, even where
participants wished to settle dam
ages out of court, in order to dis
courage reckless driving.
The case in which Judge Duncan
issued his ruling involved an acci-
dent between Murcie L. Tacey, 222
South Henry street, Alexandria, and
Edwin A. Forsyth. 829 Quincy street
NV, Washington. They refused to
testify when called on and Motor
Cycle Officer Clarence D. Carter, who
filed the charges, pointed out that
he was not at the scene after the
accident. His report was made up
from information furnished by one
of the accident participants and he
complied with orders in filing the

Charter Board
Petition Target
OF New Attack
Circulation Among
Citizens Criticized
By J. Bond Smith

New fuel has been added to the
controversy now raging among
Montgomery County (Md.) citizens
on the desirability of q charter
form Of government by the issuance
yesterday of a statement by j.
Bond Smith sharply criticizing the
proposed circulation Of a petition
among registered voters calling for
creation of a charter board.
The Montgomery County Civic
Federation at its meeting Monday
authorized submission Of such q
petition to the voters. The charter
form of government was advocated
in the Brookings Institution report
on the county government, pub
lished early last year.
On Tuesday the Board of Directors
Of the Montgomery County Farm
Bureau also criticized the Fedora
tion's action and urged county
farmers not to sign the petition
until they fid out what a charter
form of government means"
Aim to Prevent Misapprehension.
Mr.. Smith, who is general counsel
of the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission and
chairman of a special committee ap-
pointed last year by the county
commissioners to study the Brook
ings recommendations, said that the
purpose of his statement was to
prevent persons from signing the
petitions under any misapprehen.
SION"
Charging that the federation'i
resolution approving circulation OF
the petition is based on the Brook
ings survey, despite the federation!
protestations to the contrary, Mr.
Smith said, "The Brookings report Is
now under severe criticism by ex-
perts, equally as qualified as the
Bnookings staff, and the Brookings
Institution is now preparing to de-
fend itself"
Mr.. Smith referred specifically to
a recent attack by Alfred Bettman,
nationally known zoning expert, on
the section in the report dealing
with planning and zoning.
Gag-Rule Tactics Charged.
THE Montgomery County Civic
Federation" he continued, has run
away on the first attack and has run
out on the citizens and taxpayers OF
Montgomery County by evading re-
sponsibilities which it had sought and
assumed through sponsorship of the
Brookings report"
In addition, he said that the
Brookings Study Committee OF the
civic group. headed by Allen H
Gardner, sponsor Of the charter
resolution" has never made any de.
tailed study Of the Brookings re-
port, nor has 1t ever indicated
whether it approves or disapproves
any Of the recommendations con-
tanned therein"
Finally, Mr.. Smith charged the
federation with forcing through
the resolution at its Monday meet
ing by cutting of debate, eliminat-
ing roll call votes, overruling the
presiding of1cer and other gag-rule
tactics"
