The Loaded Pistol Again.

A young man in this city was shot
accidentally the other day by a friend.
The weapon was one of a pair belonging
to the victim and was taken up playfully
by the shooter and aimed with the sup
posedly jocose suggestion, Hands up"
The man who was shot is now in the
hospital with the prospect Of a perma-
nently disabled arm, if not the loss of
that member. while his friend is natu-
rally distracted by the mishap. This is
unfortunately not an unfamiliar story.
The utterly useless pistol, aimed in fun,
has cost many lives and caused great dis
tress. 1t would be interesting to know just
why this young man owned two pistols and
kept them fully loaded in his room. He
is not a highwayman. He is in a peace
full occupation and exposed to no grave
dangers. Washington is quie, city
whose greatest menace is the presence
occasionally in the streets Of few cow
ardly footpads who rob women Of their
pocketbooks. The chance Of man need
ing a deadly weapon here In any con-
ceivable circumstances is as one in ten
thousand. Yet scores II not hundreds Of
men are walking about the streets armed,
while a greater number have loaded
weapons in their homes, which only fig
ure In accidents such as that now in
evidence.

Food Storage.

II is unfortunate that the report of the
House subcommittee which some months
ago started on an inquiry into the ques-
ton OF food cost and storage In this Dis
trict was submitted to Congress so late
that legislation was impossible during
the session just closed. This Investigation
was exhaustive and was in able hands.
The conclusion reached Is that In large
measure the methods Of storage and dis
trtbption are responsible for the in
creased cost 20 the consumer. AS a
remedy for this condition the subcom.
mittee recommends the enactment of a
bill placing limit Of six months on the
time Of storage Of poultry. butter. eggs.
meat and fish.
There are two factors In this matter,
that Of health and that Of cost What
ever may be the preservative possibili-
ties OF cold storage plants. It Is certain
ly not to be believed that foods kept
IN freezing atmosphere for months are
as wholesome as fresh foods. The longer
the period Of refrigeration the less de-
sirable these foods become. 1t Is against
all nature to expect such commodities as
those named In the Moore bill to be as
good after the better part Of a year
spent In cold storage as when fresh from
the sources of supply. To be paiatab e
they must be consumed Immediately after
being withdrawn and the guarantee OF
prompt disposal to the consumer mus,
be trustworthy.
A six-month limit upon the cold stor.
age Of such foods would probably have
some effect upon the prices, though not
as great an effect as though the Limit

Public business may be outlined with
safety in corner-that is. behind the

matter of changing procedure. the Senate
is a difficult proposition 1t is conserva-
tive body, whose members. as a rule,

when bearing reforms are feared.
Still, in both houses, steps should be
taken to insure full discussion in public
of all appropriation bills. If necessary.
time should be fixed, days in advance OF
adjournment day, when all such bills
should be on the books as laws. and thus
remove them from the arena of eleventh

poses Such a spectacle as the country
