B. Power, one of the special prose- | cutors. “The jury felt otherwise.

Children ELECTION PLIGHT OF CITY DEPLORED Society of Natives Demands *Ballot Privilege—Roberts’ Resignation Regretted. ‘The Society of Natives of the Dis- trict of Columbia last night adopted a | resolution calling attention to the | political plight of “voteless” citizens | of the District at election time. A resolution, Etta L. Taggart, reiterating the so- ciety’s previous stands in favor of national representation for the Dis- trict, was adopted. The resolution asked that the citizens here be given the right to vote for the President of the United States, Vice President and members to the Senate and House. In another resolution, introduced by Miss Taggart, the society expressed regret over the resignation of People’s Counsel William A. Roberts, to take effect shortly. The society also voted to present | each year a certificate to the native Washingtonian who accomplishes the greatest good for the District. Wil- liam E. Richardson, président of the society, was instructed to appoint a committee to make the necessary study in connection with the award. Rock Creek History Recalled. The meeting, held in the Washing- ton Club, was featured by a program of entertainment. This included addresses by James F. Duhamel, the ' introduced by Miss | society’s historian, and Judge Robert E. Mattingly of Municipal Court; vocal selections by Miss Carolyn Schulte and piano music by Miss Elizabeth Cates. Miss Cates also played accompaniment for Miss Schulte. Mr. Duhamel, speaking on the sub- jeet, “Historic Rock Creek,” told of the many early grain mills along the creek in its early history and named a number of the early settiers in its vicinity. “It was about 1685 when settlers were obtaining land grants on 1668 Henry Darnall was granted 8,000 acres of land on each side of Rock Creek, extending up to Forest Glen, Md.” he said. “Another American who sought | fame on the banks of Rock Creek,” Mr. Duhamel said, “was Robert Ful- ton, who came to Washington in the Winter of 1807-8, after the Clermont had made its successtul trips on the Hudson.” Mills Supplied Army. The many flour mills along Rock Creek. Mr, Duhamel said, were undis- turbed by the British during the Revolutionary War and “no doubt supplied the Army at Valley Forge with food in days of need.” Judge Mattingly related many un- usual and amusing reasons for which divorce suits have been filed through- out the country. Among recent ones a wife filed suit because her husband ate onlons, and ih another a sufd beca hu wife huubed on | | LIQUID, TABLETS, | SALVE. NOSE DROPS__ Try * !hul!

Bank. | Bs the Associated Press. ‘Two German companies were unsuc- cessful yesterday in the Supreme Court in their effort to set aside a $1,197,- 593 judgment against them on count of noh-payment of bonds, due, it was claimed, to foreign exchange regulations of the Hitler government. The high tribunal decided against a plea that they review a ruling of | cedure this the Circuit Court of Appeals at New | York upholding the judgment award- ed the Central Hanover Bank & | Trust Co., as trustee for bondholders. ‘William D. Whitney, New York torney for the German companies, | said in his petition that judgments' under the circumstances were “un- collectable,” and suggested that any effort to collect be made through diplomatic channels rather than the courts. After estimating that $700,000,000 of long-term German securities are outstanding in the United States, he said that under present court pro- “will, in due course, amount to hundreds of millions of dollars in useless and. uncollectable judgments, effective principally as judicial deterrents to any future re- vival of international trade.” I , @ ESTABLISHED 1865 o % DAILY DOUBLE A Winner ot Barker's When you call the lumber- number for quality ot low prices, you get double serve ice becouse Barker main. tains two conveniently lo- cated ond completely stocked warehouses.

Just before ‘ well-being takes possession of the new- it was too late, the bison was given 1¢gal protection. The bighorns should be afforded ample sanctuary. Though | large, heavy-horned creatures, they ere gentle and easily tamed. At one time these Rocky Mountam sheep roamed over most of the moun- | tainous country of the West. They prospered on the great plains, or bad | lands, where the country was too | rough for their foes— the wolves, | coyotes, mountain lions and wild- | cats—to follow. These places are not ‘ valuable for any other purpose, yet the sheep can succeed and raise their families there, some members of which can be introduced into other Iocalities. Bighorns love to enter caves. Here they find protection from the weather and foes. Here, on the soft beds of | dust, they take their naps and hide | por SHTIT A% e from enemies. If a cave is not avail- | able, they even knock off loose stones | on some ledge to form little niches | hlong some steep cliff in which to test and possibly take a nap. The rams take full responsibility ks sentinels. Their towers and look- out are jutting rocks, bouldeis, or such places. When an enemy is sighted, the fact is radioed to others on guard. The mothers and younger generations are notified. Instant obedience follows. That is why you can see a herd go in a body to a place of safety. They may question the guards afterward, but never until & place of refuge has been attaired. A wise grandmother, an older ewe, s the “bellwether.” She is well ac- quainted with the local conditions, such as waterholes, salt-licks, traps and food supply. She is usunlly the marshal, and is the real head f the clan. She demands their re- spect and gets it. In the group will be the older rams, whose horns record battles fought by the fearless war- riors. There are bachelors, spinsters and the “young bloods,” to say noth- ing of the children. All obey her orders implicitly. A single baby or twins are born in June. Have you ever heard of the “owning ceremony”? As soon as the infant is born, the mother licks it. It is most vital that she “owns” it, otherwise the terrible botflies attack the helpless little thing and kill- it. The result of the licking is that a lovely, warm, uffy coat protects the baby, its circulation is in fine shape, @nd though quite wobbly on the slen- e e Sl comers, who are soon fast asleep. ‘The mother returns to her other children, feeling confident that the eagles, her offspring’s worst foes, are | outwitted. In a very short time, you can see many gamboling babies among the older sheep, and in another month they can take care of themselves. How wonderful it would be to have highoms in all our parks, so used to the protection of love from their hu- man brother that they would eagerly take the treat oifred, of tender | leaves, bark, berries, moss, lichen and | such things, for the Rocky Mountain sheep are grateful for all food of this kind.
