ISLAND CRUMBLES. Storms Wear Away Heligoland in North Sea. 7 HELGOLAND (#)—This little Ger- man island, English North Sea outpost until 1890, has lost 13,000 square meters swallowed up by mountainous waves ‘when recent flerce gales caused havoc along the West European coast as far as_Norway. The damage done here and to the neighboring East Prisian island chain has led the Prussian survey department to appoint a commision to make a sclentific study of the whole coast line to ascertain if there is any dangerous acceleration in the gradual subsidence All in of the German North Sea shores. It is known that the whole coast is sinking, but only at the rate of about 10 inches in the past 100 years. Coming in- vestigations are ‘expected to show whether the sinking process calls for extra precautions. —_— SPECIAL NOTICES. BIRTHDAY PARTY OF TEMPLE CHAPTER, Bt Patron ‘Charles L. Henry. .

Campsay EUSERH) TERMINAL MARKET PROIECT RUSHED Contract Awarded for 34 Stores to Be Erected on Water Street Site. A contract for the cqnstruction of 34 terminal stores fronting on Water street between Twelfth and Fourteenth streets southwest, to accommodate commission merchants and wholesale distributors of perishable freight—a project that will entail expenditures totaling $500,000— was awarded yesterday to the M. A. Long Co. of Baltimore and Washington, the lowest bidder. In making this announcement, Col. Wrisley Brown, president of the Potomac Freight Terminals Co., said it is expected the project will be completed by next June. Construction work will begin immedi- ately, as the preliminary excavation has | been’ completed. The new terminal| stores will be two-story structures of modified Colonial design to harmonize with the Municipal Fish Market building on the south side of Water street be- tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, Convenient for Distribution. Col. Brown explained that the site of these terminal stores is admirably located for the rapid handling and dis- tribution of perishable freight, as it is only four miles from Potomac Yard, the converging point for all freight moving from the South over the Southern trunk lines. The Pennsylvania Raflroad is now constructing an 80-foot, fan-shaped rail- road bridge over Water street, to carry trackage to serve the terminal stores and the establishments of the meat packers, wholesale dealers in poultry and dairy products and other related industries which will be located in that terminal area, Col. Brown asserted. Each store will be 80 feet long and 20 feet wide, the entire block of stores fronting on Water street for approxi- mately 700 feet, with an arcade 30 feet in depth extending over the full frontage. Folding doors of improved design will separate the inclosed por- tion of each store from this arcade. There will be a 17-foot sidewalk, cov~ ered by a marquise, in front of the ar- cade, affording conveniences for buyers and protection from inclement weather, Col. Brown pointed out. Some of the stores will have cellars for the use of dealers requiring them for storing perishable fruits. In the full length next to the tracks, will be a 16-foot platform cver which perish- ables will be handled to and from rail- road cars and motor trucks. Elevators will be provided to facilitate the trans- fer of produce within each store unit of the terminal. Refrigeration System. “These stores will be provided with necessary- refrigeration by pipe line from the centtal plant of the Terminal Refrigerating & Warehousing Corpora- tion, occupying the entire block from Eleventh to Twelfth and E to F streets southwest,” Col. Brown explained. “Conduits for this purpose have already been installed by authority of Con- In the new wholesale area, Col.

By the Associated Press. ‘The Senate appropriation committee yesterday voted to triple the fund for dry law enforcement, favoring appro- priation of $25,000,000, which would be added to the $13,500,000 already appro- priated. If the increase is agprovcd by Con- gress, it will provide the highest figure ever available in the history of the lvnlstemi act for prosecution of the dry aw. Before voting on the proposal, how- ever, the Senate intends to wait for a report from the Prohibition Bureau as to how the money would be spent. Several ‘wets in the Senate have in- dicated they will not oppose the in- crease, if in their judgment the funds are properly allocated. Harris Urged Increase. Senator Harris, Democrat, Georgia, who recently described present enforce- ment conditions as a “farce,” advocated the large increase. He offered a motion for the $25,000,000 boost before the appropriations committee, of which he is a member, as an addition to the deficiency supply bill. The Georgia Senator, who is a dry, originally asked for a fund of $50,000,000 to enforce the liquor laws. He attributed lack of enforcement at the present time to insufficient money. Almost at the same time that this proposal for the increase will come be- fore the Senate, a report is expected from the judiciary committee on_ the Jjoint wet and dry solution to have Her- bert Hoover after he becomes President appoint a commission to make a sweep- ing investigation of enforcement and to make recommendations to the President and Congress. This proposal, offered by Senators Edge of New Jersey, a wet, and Jones of Washington, a dry, both Republicans, will be acted upon Monday by the judi- Has Stamp of Authority. Unlike previous futile attempts by a wet, Senator Bruce, Democrat, Mary- land, to increase the prohibition fund tee, carries the stamp of authority. The increase is expected to receive the sup- port of the drys and such wets as Sen- ator Edge, Republican of New Jersey, who declared he would have no objec- tion to the large figure if the Prohibition Bureau can show that the money will be spent wisely. Since the prohibition lawy became i tl e {larxest amount appropriated directly for en- forcement pv?napin the neighborhood of $13,000,000, although members of Con- actualty spent on prohibition when all phase?yolp:he law are considered was considerably higher. o FOUR ARE INJURED IN TRAFFIC MISHAPS Truck Driver Suffers Internal Hurts When Machine Strikes Tree.

A group of South African students of Dutch and English descent, in the United States on a month’s tour of in- ternational friendship, went. to An- entertained at the British embassy and at American University yesterday. They will return here this evening for a din- ner at the Cosmos Club by the Stokes Foundation. The students, numbering more than 40, yesterday saw the sights of Wash- ington and vicinity, saw their first basket ball game and were told last night at a banquet at American Uni- versity by Dr. George E. MacLean, chairman of the local committee on ar- rangements, not to take seriously the opposition in the Senate to the Kellogg peace pact. Treaty Opponents Scored. “There are some benighted United States Senators who just now are ex- cited over the Kellogg peace pact and are opposing it,” declared Dr. MacLean, former president of Nebraska Univer- sity. “Let me assure you that they don’t represent in the least the ma- jority of the American people.” Diamonds from South Africa were characterized by Thomas Charles Thorp, speaking for the visiting students, as virtually the only article of trade sent from his country in exchange for the volume of motor cars, “trams,” trains and many other things which he said were being imported there from the United States. The students were wel- comed by Roland Rice, president of the International Relations Club of the col- lege, official host at the dinner. Dr. George B. Woods, dean of the college of liberal arts, was toastmaster. The students were received at the British embassy late yesterday after- noon, where they were entertained at tea by Sir Esme Howard, the British Ambassador, and Lady Isabella Howard. ‘Tomorrow they will be entertained by Cagholic University at lunch. Secretary of State Kellogg will re- celve the visitors Monday morning at 9:15, and they will leave Washington Monday afternoon for Chicago. The basket ball game which the students saw was in the American Uni- versity gymnasium between American University and Elizabethtown College. Members of Committee. Dr. MacLean is vice chairman of the Washington branch of the English Speaking Union. Other members of the committee are: Arthur S. Flem- ming and Miss Mary Louise Brown, dean of women, of* American Uni- versity; Dean Henry Gratton Doyle and Miss Anna L. Rose, dean of women of George Washington University; James J.

UTILITIES HELPED FEDERATION FUND Light Association Contrib-| uted $80,000 in Four Years, Mrs. Sherman Tells Probers. Eighty thousand dollars was con- tributed between 1924 and 1928 by the National Electric ‘Light Association to the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, according to testimony presented yesterday to the Federal Trade Commis- slon. It also was declared that while Mrs. John D. Sherman of Estes Park, Colo., was the federation president, the assocfation had paid $600 each for 24 magazine articles written by her. Mrs. Sherman told the commission she had been paid for the articles deal- ing with the federation’s “better equip- ped homes campaign” by the Lord, Thomas & Logan Agency, which had placed the articles with magazines for publication. Under questioning by Robert E. Healy, chief counsel for the commission, Mrs. Sherman sald during her four years of the federation presidency the $80,000 contribution from the light association, together with $3.000 from the American Gas Association, had been received by her organization. George F. Oxley, director of public relations for the light association, who followed her on the stand, testified the association had paid the Lord, Thomas & Logan Agency $600 for each article written while his organization was con- ducting a Nation-wide advertising cam- paign. A total of $116 was received from magazines with which the articles were placed for publication, he added. Denies Furnishing Material. ‘The association did not furnish any of the material for the articles, Oxley declared, nor was any money paid to He thought only 12 or 13 of the 24 arti- cles had been published. Mrs. Sherman, in a prepared state- ment, declared she had never written articles for, the light association and halt;l never been on the association's pay Toll. She explained that after launching the better homes campaign in 1926 the federation decided to establish a “re- volving or underwriting fund” to be used in publicity work for the cam- paign. “The subject,” she said, “was dis- cussed in the Fall of 1926 with the managing director of the National Elec- tric Light Association, who was asked whether the association would, in addi- tion to its previously pledged contribu- tion in connection with the federation's home equipment survey, provide the un- derwriting and revolving fund. “Arrangements were then made with the Lord, Thomas & Logan Agency for the placement of one article a month for a year at $600. From that time on I sent my articles to the Logan agency and received payment directly from the agency.” 4 Subjects Not Dictated. Later a similar agreement was made for another 12 articles, she added, and all money received from magazines pub- lishing the articles was to revert to the revolving fund. Mrs. Sherman declared that no offi- cial of the light association had dic- tated the subjects of the articles, none of which “had any bearing upon water- power control or kindred subjects.” They were similar to articles she wrote for magazines during her first two the magazines to have them printed. || MRS.
