AMENDMENTS TO CODE.
-
City Solicitor Kept Busy Pass
ing Upon Bills. :.
AN OPINION TODAY
SECTION REFERRING TO THE
BOWERS OF WIDOWS.
Attorney Duvall Believes Commission
ers Should Disapprove the Measure
Mortgage Clause.

Legal problems arising from the opera
ton of the new code of laws for the Dis
trict have kept the city solicitor, Mr.. A. B.
DuyaN. busy since January l. Today he
submitted to the District Commissioners
another opinion which has the code as its
basis. The opinion is In relation to the
pending House bill 1887, which has for its
purpose the amending of section 1853 and
section 52S Of the code.
The bill proposes to amend section 1853 so
that it will read as follows:
Sec 1853. widow shall be entitled to
dover in lands held by equitable as well as
legal title In the husband, held by him at
the time Of his death, but such right Of
dover shall not operate to the prejudice Of
any claim for the purchase money Of such
lands or other lien on the same.
Effect Of Amendment.
s"The effect of this amendment" says the
solicitor, "would be to make the widow
dowerabe only in the lands held by the
husband, either by legal or equitable title
at the time of his death. The code pro-
vides that she shall be dowable in lands
held by legal or equitable title in the hus-
band at any time during coverture.' This
provision was the subject of grave consid-
Grafton by the Bar Association committee
At the time of the adoption OF the code the
widow was dowable only of such land Of
the husband whereof he held the legal title
The Act Of Husband.
"In many cases 1t happened that tho
land had been conveyed by the husband in
his lifetime by deed OF trust. SO that at
the time Of his decease, having only the
equitable title. the widow was not dowable
of such land. although the deed Of trust
represented but small portion Of the value
of the entire property: and. in order to
prevent this hardship the code made the
widow dowable Of land without regard to
the quality of the husbands estate, wheth-
er legal or equitable
''If the code should be amended as pro-
posed the husband could entirely defeat
any dover right in all of his lands by
making a conveyance That is to say, the
wife would be at the absolute mercy Of the
husband in respect Of this matter.
Il believe that the code represents the
sentiment Of this community on this SUBJ
ject and it would be infiicting an unwar-
ranted wrong to thus enable the husband
to extinguish the dover right Of his wife
at his pleasure
Il am Of the opinion that the Commits
sioners should strongly disapprove the pro-
posed amendment. II

PIE OR TART

Don't Say, Both, If You Please
Learn to Distinguish.
DO you know the difference between
a pie and a tart?" How often have
you heard this asked at a dinner ia
Bile when the conversation lanSuishes,
and how fruitful of argument the ques-
ton invariably isl Half a dozen cor
rect answers are given in as many
minutes The fact is, the point is not
capable of such an easy explanation as
might be supposed.
"A pie contains meat, tart fruit y
says some one. Quite so, but who
ever would deny the existence of ap-
pie pie? The famous Lord Dudley was
heard to remark at a sumptuous din
ner given by Prince Esterhazy, God
bless my soul, No apple pie And
he should certainly have known what
he was talking about. for this was his
favorite dish. Further, there exists a
volume dated 1869 entitled THE
Compleat Cook" wherein are to be
found descriptions of how to make a
partridge tart and an "olive pye.''
History may thus be said to veto the
'-meat-and-fruit'' theory. Mrs. Beeton,
by the way, who should be the SUI
this kind, ingloriously describes her
recipe as an apple tart or pie" Next
comes an even more plausible explana-
ton. "A pie is closed; tart is OPEN;
thus pronounce by far the majority of
the oracles on this momentous sub
ject. There is admittedly much to be
said in support of this argument. The
aforementioned Lord Dudley, who was
fN hi nfTpc cc
in speaking of apple pie held to the
''closed-and-open" theory, while Lord
Alvanley's apricot tart was an up
rooted structure, although sometimes
ornamented with a grille of cross
pieces. But the word pie" as any au-
thority will tell you, is, in it's origin.
an abbreviation of the word pastry"
And we have yet to meet a self-respect-
ing tart whose basis was other than
(more or less indigestible) pastry"
Wherefore any tart may be correctly
called a pie, though not every pie, as
we shall now demonstrate, can be de-
scribed as tart. The whole thing turns
on the origin of the word tart. The
French tourte gives the clue. 1t leads
us to the Latin torta-English twist
ed A pie" is that which is made
of pastry, whatever its form or con-
tents. A tart is that which is made
of pastry twisted. The merest twig-
gle of culinary art on the summit of
an otherwise unornamented pork pie
confers upon it the proud right to the
title of tart. On the other hand. con-
ceive, if possible, totally plain dish
of fruit supported on slab of bald
farinaceous pastry, and, despite all
preconceived ideas to the contrary, you
may unhesitatingly label it pie

plan.
A week elapsed and Billy heard ru-
NOR of the distress at the rectory
which took the edge off his satisfac-
ton. The rectors wife had actually
been seen in tears-a state of things
poor Billy had not foreseen. His con-
science began to work in deadly earn
est and he would hug the dog in pas
sion of repentance. His mothers
griefs were too fresh in his mind for
him to be Indifferent to tears. An old
formula which she had patiently in
stilled became luminous with mean
ing DO unto others" Assuredly.
Billy's conscience had become sadly
over-weighted.
Yes. he would take the dog back and
make a clean breast of it. He thought
of what might happen when the rector
told his father, with dark misgivings.

his courage oozed with every step.
Billys rap brought the rector TO the
door. The pug yelped delightedly In
the noisy welcome that followed Billy
would have slipped away. but the rec
tor drew him inside.

Didn't find him." said Billy laconi-
cally

uuisitive1y tilted. He shifted at Billy
and then backed of. Evidently he was
not prepossessed. Billy dived into his
pocket for his lunch and held 1T coax
ingly between the palings, but the pug
was not to be baited with coarse bread
and ham. He had never eaten so
mean a meal in all his petted, weIl-fed
life. Billy did not consider this a bad
beginning, however; he was so aocus-
toned to being snarled at by the surly
country dogs.
Billy finally broke the ice in this
wise. Having heard of the pug's pre-
objection for candy, he determined to
play his trump card. He had long
carried in a safe inner pocket a nickel
which he kept partly for the lack of
suitable investment and partly because
the consciousness of ownership ex-
pressed in dollars and cents is so sweet
to boy. Now Billy had so fallen I'M
der the spell of the pugs entertainments
that he cheerfully spent his nickel
penny by penny, for the toothsome
commodity which was the price of the
dogs good will. And the weeks of
joyous fellowship that followed left
Billy nothing to regret in his bargain.
Billy's new-found happiness came to
a sudden end. however, when he saw
sinister signs of departure about the
rectory. The rector's guests were go
ing. and the impending separation
from his dear, canine playfellow filled
him with despair. Now. Billy could
not know that the dog had been given
to the rector's wife. He assumed that
as it had arrived with the strangers, 1t
would also depart with them
Billy thought the situation over In
bitter rebellion. Gradually he evolved
way out of his trouble. He remem-
bered with thrill the long-disused

other valIables safe from the vaDdal-

be simpler than to secrete the deg in
this safe place-yes, indefinitely?
Billy would bring his own portions of
meat and cakes for him to eat. and
there were a few corn sacks in the
barn which would do admirably for his

EARLY PAPER-MAkING.
History of the Art Traced Through
Several Centuries.

Several Centuries.
The earliest paper was doubtless that
made from Egyptian papyrus. whence
all similar writing material is named.
The papyruS paper used to be described
as being MADE of the thin pellicles ly-
ing between the rind and the pith; now
it is known to have been made of
slices of the cellular pith laid length
wise side by side whereon other lay
ers were laid crosswise, the whole
moistened with Nile river water,
pressed and dried, and smoothed by
being rubbed with ivory or a smooth
shell. The papyrus paper was super
seeded in Europe by a paper of other
fbrous matter gradually between the
10th and the 18th centuries At a re-
mote antiquity the Chinese made paper
of the mulberry tree, sprouts of the
bamboo, and Chinese grasses. The Chi
nese first wrote on bamboo boards; but
for 500 years before the time of Christ
the usual paper of the Chinese was
made of siik-waste, solidified in some
way that has not been described The
inventor of paper made of vegetable
fiber was the statesman Ts'ai Lun.

The experiment, undertaken by
German export merchants. of fitting
floating commercial exhibitions, has
been remarkably profitable. Each of
the exporters contributed sum pro
portionate to the amount of space he
desired to occupy. This went to defray
expenses. In addition each promised
a 10 per cent commission on sales.
Ships were fitted out, with staff
trained in the technical and CONNER
cial schools. On entering harbor a
canvas was made OF the merchants,
who were then invited on board or
visited by statesmen with samples. At
an expense of $4,000, goods to the
value of $4,000, 900 were sold. Germany

California olive growers are prepar-

orchard in the state the trees are
loaded with the fruit, and the acreage
devoted to the cultivation of olives is
much larger this year than ever be-
fore. In recent years the yearly crop
of olives seldom ran over 1000 barrels,
or. taking seven barrels to the ton,
about 2S6 tons. The growers who sell
their olives as they come from the
trees have formerly received $50 ton
for their product, or about three cents
pound, 1t costs one cent pound to
pick the fruit, thus allowing the grow
ers $40 a ton for their olives. This
year the total crop of the state will
reach 500 tons, or 5000 barrels, an in
crease of 5000 barrels over last year.
The price this year has dropped 33 1-3
