2 D. C. LEGISLATION 10 BE CONSIDERED Commissioners to Draw Up Program for Coming Ses- sion in Few Weeks. A legislative program for the Dis- trict at the coming session of Con- gress will be considered by the Com- missioners within a few weeks, now that the estimates for next year are practically complete and ready to go to the budget bureau September 1. Engineer Commissioner Bell said vesterday that he probably would ask the Citizens' Advisory Council early in October to go over the legislation that fafled at the last session as well as any new matters that may come to their attention. The city heads have in mind several important measures that were left! pending when the gavel fell for ad- journment in July, but they pointed out yesterday that additional lative proposals may grow out of the survey of District affairs expected to be made by a subcommiitee of the House District committee before Con- gress mects. May Await Survey. The Commissioners feel that the District’s legislative program for the next session will not be final or complete until after the proposed congressivnal survers, i tiey are made contemplated. The House District committee created a special subcommittee just before adjournment to make the study of District needs, but. so far as local officials have learn- ed. the subcommittee has not vet made definite pians for beginning its wa Several of the members have been out of the city The Senate District committee did not create a similar subcommittee, but it was understood when the session closed that Senator King of Utah would meet Chairman Capper in Washington in September or October to discuss the advisability of having & Senate subcommittee also make a study of District affairs before De- cember. Aside from any suggestions for new legislation that may grow out of the work of these committees, the Com- missioners have at least three im- portant bills coming over from the last session to form the nucleus of a new legislative program, hamely: Abolition of railroad grade cross- ings, modification of the Borland law. which assesses half the cost of street paving against abutting property owners, and the long-pending question of extending Fourteenth street through the Walter Reed grounds. Railway Merger Studied. In addition to theSe matters, the Public Utilitles Conumission is now en- gaged in revamping former plans de- signed to bring about merger of the street rallway lines, and this is likely to receive a place on the legislative program. The Commission on Public Welfare Legislation, which comes under Com- missioner Rudoiph, has cess during the & pected to convene late in September or early in October and may be ready to recommend a new Juvenile L‘oun. law before Incember.

It never rains but it and it looks as though we will all be convinced that is true by the time we get that temperamental giraffe of ours safely hued in the Zoo. It wasn't enough that a whole ex-’ pedition had to be sent all the way to Tanganyika to get our giraffe. Once there, it was discovered that finding the pet was ple compared to the dangers and uncertainties that will be encountered on the long vovage from Dar-es-Salaam to Washington.

The kind-hearted head keeper was seated in his office, above the lion cages, in the throes of deep remorse. | “Yes, yes, ves!” he almost moaned. “I've searched and searched for a suitable home, and now I must admit we have none! There s only one place that could be used at all. Wae i me—it's the bird house!

In this end, you will remember, is the big cage where some of the larger species of birds have room to fly around more or lers at ense. Well, that is where our giraffe will have to content him- selt until Congress, recognizing his lofty dimensfons. appropriates enough money for a suitable home. The secretary, who makes no claims to pride in the length of his stature, almost ducked his head in- stinctively as he entered through the back door--the same door, he figured, that our giraffe will have to use. Out of sheer sympathy for the bewildered headkeeper, however, he maintained polite silence and stood looking at the big cage. 1t’s plenty high enough, and even wide_enough and long enough.” sald Mr. Blackhurn finally, half apologeti cally.

Willlams' proj- ect to recapture for America the world's airplane speed record from the French. Two other New York- ers, Seth Low and E.

The plan for collecting the money was inaugurated by Lieut. Willlams at a dinner in New York several months ago, at which were present Rear Admiral William A.
