any advantage in the school system for

ARGUE ON Equity BILL TODAY
Fight Begins over EniOinment OF
civil Service Commission.

Argument on the bill in equity, filed
two weeks ago by Dr. J. Stewart Har-
rison and Andrew NJ. Curry. TO enjoin the
Civil Service Commission from holding
examinations 20 obtain elIgibles to fiji
positions such as police and fire surgeons
and positions in the District Building,
will begin before Justice Clabaugh in
Equity Court No 1 to-day. The govern
ment will be represented by Assistant
District Attorney Stuart Mcnamara. and
the petitioners by Attorney Richard P.
Evans.
Dr.. Harrison and Mr.. Curry charge in
their petition that the Civil Service Com
mission. by law. is limited 10 holding ex-
aminations to obtain ellgibies for appoint
ment in the classified civil service, and
the District government not being in that
service. they are holding examinations
illegally. and which are. therefore, an
unauthorized expense TO the government.
The petitioners also allege that the Com
missioners Of the District do not con-
slider themselves as bound 10 select from
the eligibles published by the Civil Service
Commission.
Mr.. Mcnamara, on behalf of the gov
ernment. has demurred to the bill filed
on the ground that Dr. Harrison and Mr
Curry. even II taxpayers pay taxes to
the District government, which is in no
wise interested IN the expenditure OF
moneys of the Federal government. which
alone appropriates money for the mainI
tenance Of the commission.

MOVE TO QUASH INDICTMENT
Argument in Handbook Case to he
Heard This Morning.

Attorneys Henry E. Davis, Campbell
Darlington. and Rudolph B. Behrend
yesterday filed a motion in Criminal
Court No. to quash the indictment
which the grand jury returned against
George l. GoodaCre. charging him in
three counts with violating the gambling
laws of the District, in running a hand
book The attorneys also gave notice TO
District Attorney Baker that they would
call the motion up this morning before
Justice Barnard for argument.
It is stated in the motion filed that
the right Of either the United States or
the defendant to peremptory challenges
on the trial Of the indictment cannot in
telligently or at all. be exercised. and
that the indictment does not sufficiently
describe the supposed manner in which,
as alleged. the defendant bet or gambled
with the persons mentioned. II is also
stated that the indictment does not de
scribe the common device and contrivance
known as "bookmaking" II is under
stood that District Attorney Baker will
personally appear and oppose the motion
to-day. assisted by Assistant District At

NO PROFIT IN MILK
President of Retail Dealers
Explains Raise in Price.
PUTS BLAME ON WHOLESALERS
George B. Farquhar Says Middlemen
Are. Not Responsible for Increase.
Cent on Each Pint-CustOmers said
90 View Situation Reasonably.

That the retail milk dealers Of the Dis
trict have for the last two years been
conducting their business at practical
loss is the statement Of George B. FarQu-
har, president Of the Retail MIX Dealers
Association. which has declared an ad-
vance Of I cent quart IN the price Of
milk and cents a quart in the price or
cream after November l.
1T has been estimated said Mr.
Farquhar last night, that the cost TO
the retailer of delivering milk 10 the
door Of the consumer is from S1z TO 4
cents a quart. Il can be plainly seen,
therefore. that there is no profit to the
dealer who sells milk at s cents a quart
BIames Wholesalers.
The increase is the natural result Of
the Wholesalers Association IN advanc-
ing the price to the dealers from IS to 2
cents gallon. combined with the added
cost in recent years Of labor and ma
teriaI. Labor has increased from 20 to
80 l-3 per cent. and the retailer is forced
to add a measure of the added cost to
the consumer OF retire from business.
Had the price been raised TO 10 cents
a aIart, it would not have been exorbitant
OF any more than the dealers deserve in
view of their expenditures. It has been
decided, however, to advance the price Of
milk 10 cents a quart and cents a
pint, and of cream from "a cents TO 80
cents a quart and Is cents a pint"
Consumers Realize Situation.
Asked as TO the probable view of the
consumer in regard to the increased cost,
Mr.. Farquhar said:
In my opinion the majority Will view
the situation in a reasonable light In the
last ten days have talked with "a number
Of consumers, many of whom realize that
the added cost is necessitated. On the
other hand, there are those who know alb
solutely nothing of the conditions leading
70 the increase and apparently cannot be
made to understand that il is forced upon
the dealer. who can no longer ind rea-
sonabIe profit at the present price
Profits at Minimum.
II. I. Alden, a dairyman, of 2u Tenth
street southwest, said last night that the
proposed increase had already met with
considerable protest on the part of con-
sumers. Under present conditions said
he. THE profits are at a minimum. and
would .be wiped out altogether If the
retailers had to comply with the whole
saIers' demand for - cents gallon after
November !. without making a corre-
spending increase. It may be that the re-
taiIers viii lose a number Of their Gus
toners and others may cut down the
quantity they are now receiving At best
/ the dealers are face 10 face with a hard
/ proposition, and their recourse is TO stand
together"
Difference in Ratios.
The dealers throughout the city are
practically agreed that an increase was

between the pint and quart rate is ac-

Natural-colored suede gloves are the
rage in Paris and have quite suppressed

For a dressy house frock or tea
gown a wash satin proves very salts

ity does not show so much indoors.
A new notion is the Frightening Of
the dark tailored coat with collar and
cuffs of gay Scotch plaid. These sets
are to be had ready-made, prettily
shaped and finished.
The new plaids and stripes allow of
much originality in the making up.
Very curious and beautiful effects are
gained by tucking to eliminate or bring
out the pattern of the material.
For everyday wear there is ten
dency to return to the little English
walking hat of soft felt, simply trim
med with folds of ribbon around the
long, narrow crown, and stiff wings or
rosette on one side holding up the
rim.
Very charming things are done with
black ribbon velvet in the way or sus-
pender or peasant straps; or harness

or enameled buttons are effectively
used on these, as are also rhinestone
buckles.
Many of the light fabrics for even

in pale yellows, pinks and white, have
either satin crepe or narrow satin
check over them. Such gowns need
very little trimming except perhaps
some good lace.
Both pique and duck are to consti-

In the West Indies the negroes eat
freely of the big grub found in palm
trees. The fat, white morsel, which
they call ''grugru," is not cooked or
sailed. The aborigines of Australia
live almost entirely on butterfly
known as the bugong. The flies APP
pear in patches on the rocks. and the
natives smother them with smoke from
fires built below. 1t is said that Hot
tcntot, with an appetite made sharp
by the simple life, can deyour 300 fat
lccusts at a sitting and feel better sat
isiied than If he had paid IS for a ten
course dinner. The Arabs dry the 10
Gusts and pulyerize them into -four for
breadmaking purposes. The Moors
make stew of them, and after boiling
in water for a few minutes they are
eaten with salt. pepper and vinegar.
The locusts found in Central Africa
are enormous, and the native negroes
cut them in two and fry them in fat
and find them not only appetizing, but
aourishing. 4 flight of these big To-
Gusts is a matter of tribal thanksgiy.
