LIONS ASK DELAY ON SOUTHERN MOVE Want Purchase of Railway’s Building Postponed as Far as Possible. A’ resolution requesting the Capital City Park and Planning Commission “to postpone as far as possible” the purchase of the Southern Rallway property, on treet between. Thir- teenth and Thirteen-and in connection with th )n the triangle south of Pennsylvania avenue for the erection of Federal buildings, was adopted at a luncheon of the Lions Club n the Mayflower Hotel yester- day. The resolution was adopted upon motion of W. C. Miller, past president of the club. His motion followed a statement by George L. Haines that if the building is purchased and the rallway company decides to establish its offices outside of Washington, it will mean the taking of about $600,000 per month out of this city, fepresented in the money paid the railway em- ployes now located here. Proposes National Body. Plerre Bealer, chairman of the club’s Christmas charities committee, reported that $773 has been received from club melnbers for Christmas charity work. This sum, he explain- e, is to be added to before Christmas. Charies E. Hillegeist reported that a large group of children from Chil- dren’s Hosp! had been entertained by a group of Lions Tuesday. The entertainment was climaxed, he said, with a trip to Woodward & Lothrop’s department store, Where W. W. Everett, president of the company, distributed toys to them. Dr. Robert Scott Lamb, endocrimi- nologist, consuitant at Gallipger Hos- pital and member of the club, pro- posed the organization of a national body to carry on an extensive study and experiments in connection with the treatment of persons whose duct- less glands fail to function properly. If such an organization can be prop- erly formed, he said, he would ask the Lions Club to give financial assist- ance. Dr. Lamb declared he had been greatly hampered in his work at Gal- linger Hospital, due to the lack of sufficient appropriations by Congress. Decision to form a bowlipg team to compete with, teams from other civic organizations was reached at the luncheon and Thomas W. Brahany, president of the club, authorized Reid 8. Baker to organize a team to repre- sent the Lions. S G New York Honey Producer. SYRACUSE, N. Y., December 16 (UP)—Citizens of sunnier climes will be surprised to learn, on the authority of the Empire State Federation of Beekeepers, that New York produces one-third the annual national supply of honey. { Dr. Willlam Mann, sclentist-hunts- man, whose recent trip into Africa resulted in the approximate doubling of the population of the Natienal Zoo, told of the amusing side of the Smith- sonlan-Chrysler expedition in a talk at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary Club yesterday at the Willard Hotel. Without attempting to make in a formal lecture a technical and chrono- logical report of the expedition, Dr. Mann gave the Rotarians bits of in- teresting and amusing information, in- cluding the finding by his party of official game wardens “200 miles from nowhere” in Africa's heart. These officers, Dr. Mann sald, were careful to scrutinize their licenses, which had been given the party by the African authorities. Dr. Mann told of the courtesies ex- tended him by the officials in granting what he termed unusual permits for the capture ‘of all species of animals, including the protected beasts, and even for the killing of females in order that certaln young might be taken. This privilege, he said, was unnecessary, however, for all young specimens were captured allve with. out having to kill the parents. Expressing his gratitude to the press at large for the treatment it accorded the expedition, Dr. Mann said that only once did it cause him any embarrassment—when he learned that The Star was conducting & con- test for the naming of the giraffe. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Dr. Mann Regales Rotarians With Tales Of Humor of African Expedition‘s ngst The young anlmal at that time, Dr. Mann said, had pneumonid, and the only use he could see then for a pame was to conduct a formal funeral and place the chosen name upon the spe- clal headstone over the beast's grave. However, Dr. Mann related, other giraffes were obtained and the contest thus warranted. Commissioner Sidney F. Tallaferro, also a guest at the luncheon, was in troduced by Commissioner Dougherty. Mr. Taliaferro pald tribute to Rotary as the “daddy” of all business men's clubs, and to the members of the club as representative of the “best” in their respective professions. David Armandi, who is playing at a Washington theater this week, played two plano solos, and Harry Cunningham, president of the club, presided. SPANISH AMBUSHED.
