DIPLOMATS MAY
GET FEDERAL TAGS
Would Be Immune from Ar.
rest Anywhere.

Because the attorney general of Mary
land is unable to find a loophoIe in the
automobile law of the Terrapin State.
the State Department is contemplating
the issuance of universal motor tag to
be carried by diplomatic officials, and by
means of which they will be immune
from arrest by State officials in all parts
of the United States
OF late the foreign representatives
have been having endless difficulty with
the Maryland motor cops and the State
Department is getting peevish.
1t is not possible to compel a diplomat
to pay Maryland license and it is not
possible to arrest a diplomat for defiance
Of any law, State or national. Hence
application has been made to the State
Of Maryland to issue its regular license
tags. without charge, to the members
of the diplomatic corps. This Maryland
refused to do.
1t was proposed to have tags issued
by each State with a big letter o.
printed in red as a sign to wayside
sheriffs and rural marshals that the car
IS entitled to do pretty much as it pleases.

Quite the most interesting novelties
I have seen recently are some favors
for Easter, shown in bookstore
near the corner of F and Twelfth
streets These are boy and girl doll
babies, with Easter eggs for heads
and feet made of peanuts. The idea
is the charmingly original one of a
young crippled girl of this city, who
has painted their faces with the most
clever expressions, and dressed the
little figures in crepe paper to repre-
sent the Dutch Riddles, the peanuts
looking for all the world like the
wooden shoes worn by the little folks
Of Holland. ...
In New York the smart hostess uses
now a centerpiece of flowers which
are made Of beautiful satin ribbons
instead of those from the florists shop.
A very handsome thing OF this kind

Declaring that the high cost Of living
in the District OF Columbia has been
largely reduced through the efrorts Of
the organization. the officers of the
League OF Consumers Friends. which
originated and has been developed IN
Washington. have issued an informal
statement reviewing the progress they
have made
AS the league stands at present. II has
soIidly massed organization Of nfty-
six grocery stores. all of them entering
into a cooperative arrangement for the
purchase Of supplies and a consequent re-
duction Of prices.
That the organization has been success
full In this combination Is shown by the
results It has attained. Buying In whole
sale quantities has enabled the league
to obtain prices which the small retailer
cannot reach, and, at the time, there
is no suggestion Of monopoly or re-
straint Of trade In the operations Of the
eague.
Enthusiastic Over Plan.
No less than ffty-four stores In the
District Of Columbia are now members
Of the league, and all of them arc en-
thusiastic over the plan. which. they
assert, benefits both themselves and their
customers in equal degree. The customer
gets a material rduction In the prices
Of all grocery supplies. while the re-
taller has not sustained any eorre-
spending decrease in profits. The officers
Of the league assert that their plan Of
cooperation has worked successfully.
"our organization" said Mr.. ]. NJ
Denty. the originator OF the league, is
not only responsible for reduced prices
at which its members are supplying the
consumers, but other dealers have been
compelled to lower their prices In the
EFFORT to hold their customers. Our busi-
ness. however. Is steadily increasing.
due to the fact that we order in carload
lots and get the benefit OF lowest rates.
I'VE started with forty grocery stores
and now number flfty-six, but there are
still many dealers who could join us with
profit to themselves and their customers.
Our members knew from the beginning
that their percentage OF profit would be
cut down, but they counted upon In
creased patronage to>make up the dencit.
Progress Not Retarded.
Il believe 1t can be truthfully stated
that they have not been disappointed.
We had q few members resign because
they did not care to sell at the low
prices decided upon by the league. but
they have not been sufficient in number
to retard the progress Of the league
Besides, we have been getting new
members right along. We have been
more than successful. and there can be
no doubt that the consumers Of WASH
ington have not only received great
deal Of benefit from our organization in
the past. but win receive more in the
future. as they begin to realize our I'm.

A story was current at the Capitol yes
terday to the effect that an unwritten
reason for the removal Of the troops
from San Antonio. in addition to those
officially expressed. was the pressure
which had been exerted upon the part
Of Senators and Representatives to have
the men sent back to the cities where
they were originally located. The alb
sence Of thousands Of men from the posts
where they were stationed has made a
marked difference in business, and the
merchants are clamoring for their cus.
toners.
Gen. Wood recommended the return Of
the men from San Antonio, although II
is said that originally he desired TO keep
q force Of at least 1900 at that point
in a permanent maneuver camp. He also
believed THAT the maintenance OF this
number at one place would be more eco
nomical than their distribution through
out the country.
