FIood-Burst Dam
One of First Built
In Thin Curve

PARIS, Dec. 3 (AP). - The
Malpasset Dam-swept away
last night by rain-Swelled flood
waters-was the thinnest in
the world at the time of its
construction in 1923.
Its maximum thickness, ac-
cording to engineering reports,
was about % feet.
Since then similar thin dams
have been built. One at Gage,
France, is even thinner.
The concrete and steel NAL
paSset structure was a thin
half-moon rising 1876 feet at
its deepest point with a foun-
dation in the hard rock of the
area.
1t was built as an irrigation
dam, not for hydro-electric
power, and was part of a net
work of similar dams assuring
irrigation of the Var district
along the Mediterranean coast.

Should the humps Of a
camel be round, firm and fully
packed or floppy like the ears
of a spaniel?
That's the problem under in
vestigation at the Washington
Zoo today by Theodore Reed
and his staff of animal experts.
1t all started when DR.. Reed
got a letter the other day from
Pierre A. Fontaine, director of
the Dallas (Tex.) Zoo and
Aquarium. 1t seems that Mr..
Fontaine'S pair of Bactrian, or
two-humped, camels recently
gave birth to a young two
bumper. The Dallas Zoo sold
the young animal recently but
trouble has cropped up.
The young camel's humps
are beginning to slip.
What Mr.. Fontaine wanted
from DR.. Reed was some infor-
nation on how to care for
young camels to make their
humps stand up. He said he
had been told camels had to
have a special support built
around each hump or they
would never stand upright.
This didn't seem right to Mr..
Fontaine and he wanted to
know If his leg was being pulled.
DR.. Reed is inclined to think
that hump corsets might be
the answer to the situation.

District Heads
Ready TO Vote
Lettering Ban
Mclaughlin Backs
Move Aimed to
Curb Juveniles
By SAM EASTMAN
Star Stan Writer

OlSJIlCI commissioner ROD-
ert E. Mclaughlin said today
he would recommend that the
city adopt an anti-loitering
regulation, aimed at reducing
street loafing, mainly at night,
by juveniles.
The announcement came
after Mr.. Mclaughlin was in
formed by the Corporation
Counsel's Office that the Board
of Commissioners could adopt
this regulation.
With the recommendation
from Mr.. Mclaughlin, who is
the Commissioner responsible
for safety matters, adoption of
the regulation is a virtual GER
tainty.
There had been a question
as to whether legislation might
be needed.
Corporation Counsel Chester
H. Gray said that the city's
police regulations could be
amended to adopt an anti
lettering measure.
Aimed at Juveniles
The regulation would be
aimed principally at curbing
juvenile delinquency. However
Mr.. Gray said that the regula-
ton could not legally be limited
to juveniles, but would have to
apply also to adults.
Police officials have recon-
mended this move as a weapon
to deal with night loafing by
juveniles.
Under q recommendation
from Police Inspector John E.
Winters the regulation would
hold parents ana guardians re-
sponsible for allowing street.
lettering between 10 pm. and
6 am.
1t would carry a maximum
penalty Of a $500 fine or a 90
day jail term.
Today Mr.. Mclaughlin ex-
planned that the city's disor-
derly conduct statute is not
broad enough to take in loiter-
ing where there is no overt
misconduct.
Gives Police Leeway
Inspector Winters, head of
the youth aid division, has
SAID tnat an antl-loiterlng regu-
lation would give police a start
toward learning the reasons be-
hind the nighttime loafing.
Police would be able to ques-
ton and move of the streets
youngsters who apparently were
heading for trouble.
On the recommendation for
a parental responsibility pro-
vision, Mr.. Mclaughlin said
that he favored this regulation.
Parents would be subject to
penalty when the court decided
that they had contributed to
the child'S delinquency by their
"own negligence, neglect or in
difference" under Inspector
Winters proposals.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he would
recommend action by the Board
OF Commissioners as soon as
he receives Mr.. Gray's recon-
mendationS in writing.
Won't Be Curfew
The anti-loitering regulation
would not be a curfew law, as
has been adopted in Seat
Pleasant, Md, and other ju-
rlSdlctlonS. A curfeW regula-
ton forbids all juveniles from
being on the streets at speci-
fled hours.
Police officials here feel that
a curfew is hard to enforce
and also penalties innocent
youngsters.
Senate District Committee
Chairman Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, had promised first
consideration would be given in
the next congressional session
to an anti-loitering law.
Committee spokesmen said
today, however. that if the
Commissioners wanted to attack
the problem through regula-
ton based on present law, leg
islators would approve that ap-
proach.

of different sizes is a guide to a
good buy. If the retail price of a
dozen Medium eggs is as much as
6 or 7 cents less that that of
Large eggs of the same grade,
Mediums offer more for the
money. Because of an abundance
of Medium eggs on many markets
recently, retail prices have been
running 10 to Is cents a dozen less
than Large eggs. This plenty in
Mediums will continue well into
the fall season..
Because Mediums weigh on the
average only one-eighth less than
Large eggs, they r suited for use
in any recipe. Their moderate size
often appeals to children or older
persons in the family.
Grade A or AA Mediums gen
orally are preferred for cooking in
the shell, frying or poaching. For
scrambling or for use in cakes, hot
breads and many buildings, Grade
B Mediums may be a thrifty buy.
Excessive drinking often stems
from a lack of interest in hobbies
