cred cloth) and kills him with a
sword.
The scene of this tragedy-and
tragedy it is, for the man as we'll
as for the bull,-is the bullring, a
round circus-like construction, whose
arena is surrounded by wooden
wall (la barrera) which forms a sort
of alley or safety area between the
ring and the grandstand.
There, bullfghters await their
turn, and to that alley, too, assist
ants in the corrida sometimes jump
to safety-the matador himself, of
course, never leaving the ring until
the bull has been killed.
Under the grandstand are stables
for the bulls and horses and an in
firmary where doctors and nurses
are always in attendance.
The Mexico City bullr1hg, one of
the most famous and the largest in
the world after that of Madrid Spain,
seats $4,000 while that of Lima is
famed for it's antiquity, having been
built in the 18th century and being
the third oldest in existence.
An undoubtedly cruel and bloody
spectacle, from which large portion
of the hemisphere turns away in
horror, bullfighting must, however
not be judged harshly by those to
whom it is not a tradition.
Ernest Hemingway in his famous
book on bullfghting death in the
Afternoon" admits that, in spite OF
its essential cruelties, it cannot be
entirely condemned in the countries
of whose background it is part.
"The essence of the greatest
emotional appeal of the bullfght,
he assures, "is in the feeling of i'm.
mortality that the bullfighter feels
and that he gives to the spectators
He is performing a work of art
and he is playing with DEATH"
The spectators no longer see the
actual cruelty of the game. To
them it is-maybe-more than any
thing else symbol. A symbol of
mans fight with evil, fight against
death, pursuit of immortality.

All Canned Poultry

An additional heavy drain on
civilian supplies of poultry can be
expected in most parts of the coyin-
try, beginning next Wednesday, when
poultry drawing and canning plants
must set aside all of their produc-
ton for the armed forces for an in
definite period.
The War Food Administration
announcing the set-aside order last
night, said the step is necessary tc
supply military demands for about
70, ,000, 600 pounds of canned chicken
and turkey.
The poultry is needed for use In
hospitals. Army field rations ane fol

1t will require the processing of be-
tween 200,000000 and $50 900 ,OOC
pounds of dressed poultry and prac-
tically the full use of all available
eviscerating and canning facilities
IN the United States.
The order does not affect stocks
Of canned poultry now in the hands
of dealers, but halts the canning o1
future supplies for civilians. The
set-aside, according to one VITA
source, may remain in force until
September, when poultry produc-
ton begins to increase.

Smith, Citing Airport
Death, Urges Action
On Boundary Dispute

Representative Smith, Democrat
Of Virginia, declared today that the
36-hour delay in getting permission
to bury a National Airport employe
who died on the job emphasized the
need for settlement Of the boundary
dispute involving the airport.
Referring to story in The Eve
ming Star yesterday which described
the refusal of District and Virginia
coroners to issue certificate in the
death of the man, Mr.. Smith said
he hoped Congress would settle the
jurisdictional dispute this session.
He indicated he will discuss the
introduction of a bill with Chair
man Randolph of the House District
Committee to place the District
Virginia boundary line generally at
the high-water mark of the Poto-
mac River. putting the airport on
the Virginia side of the line but leav-
ing it undisturbed as Federal res
ervation.
Mr.. Randolph introduced a SINH.
lar bill last session and 1t was re.
ported favorably by the committee
Brought before the House twice, il
was blocked by Representatives
Case. Republican, Of South Dakota
and Stefan, Republican, of Nebraska
Mr.. Smith said he thought il
would be preferable for Mr.. Ran.
dolph or another non Virginian to
introduce the bill.
Mr. Smith pointed out that the
Virginia Legislature agreed to the
plan outlined in the Randolph bill
Hast year and he made it clear that
Virginia would never approve a plan
putting the airport in the District.
AS far as can be determined, the
Virginian said, the old high water
mark runs through the middle OF
the airport development and the
high ground on the tract always has
been recognized as being in Virginia

Agreement Reached
On Effort 10 Equa|ize
Relief Assistance

Agreement to attempt equalization
Of relief assistance here was reached
yesterday at a joint conference Of
officials of the Public Welfare Board
and private charitable organizations.
At present private agencies provide
greater standards of assistance than
public assistance grants.
The meeting was called by Edgar
Morris. board chairman, after he
received a letter from Frank r.
Jelleff, Community Chest president,
recommending that the public
agency raise allowances and change
eligibility requirements in certain
cases, to relieve a potential drain
on private funds.
Mr.. Morris stressed the necessity
of the cooperation among private
welfare agencies, civic groups and
the public agency in formulating a
standard program to present to Con-
gress in seeking funds for the 1916
fiscal year.
Need Meeting of Minds.
"The way we see it," Mr.. Morris
said, "is to secure a meeting of
minds among the groups active in
the welfare field; secure further
meeting of minds with the civic
groups of the city, and, thereafter,
with formal and united strength.
present these agreements at each
place where action is needed to
make the agreement a reality" Such
formal and united strength, Mr..
Morris said, needs to include and
be composed largely of the citizens,
as distinguished from the persons
responsible for the work.
Mr.. Jellef said there was
limit" to what his organization
could do. The burden on pri-
vate agencies is constantly increas-
ing" he said, in urging that the
Public Welfare Board ask Congress
for more money to attain equal as
sistance standards and to assume q
more equal share Of relief cases.
The problems posed by different
sized relief grants were discussed by
Col. William Tufts, chairman of the
War Chest Budget Committee, who
called for single assistance stand
ard.
Confusion Caused.
Confusion and lower morale exist
among the needy as some get more
and others less money, depending on
whether they receive assistance
from the Public Welfare Board or
from some private agency, Col.
Tufts declared.
Last year the welfare board took
care of 4,348 cases, spending a
total Of $1,797 1897, and private
agencies cared for 1,169 cases with
an outlay of 1921 ,582. Cases cared
for by private agencies in many
cases are emergency or temporary
ones. Families on the public rolls
have had their relief payments
slashed 10 per cent since January
because estimates for the years
appropriation fell short of the need.
Estimates for the 1916 appropria-
ton have not been completed.
At the suggestion of E. j. Hornick,
assistant director of the Community
War Fund, Mr.. Morris was en-
powered to appoint a committee
composed of the various welfare
groups, together with his own
committee, to bring to the atten-
ton of the public the problem fac
ing the community.
