A WHAT IN SHOES.

An inspection of the shoes for the
coming fall and winter gives an excel
lie t idea of what will be most worn by
good dressers. Tans, which have been
growing in favor for winter street
wear will be much in evidence, espe-
cially in the rich brown shades, not
too dark in color. Gun Metal Calf and
Velour Calf promise to divide honors
as the most popular black feathers fo-
street and business wear, while Patent
Col, particularly in button styles, will
hold in favor for dress and Sunday
wear. incidentally, it might be men
toned that button shoes, In all lsath-
ers and for all occasions. are %increas-
ing in favor. This is especially true
of shoes made with medium high
round toes. medium high heels and the
short vamp effects which will be much
worn by the younger set of mart
dressers.
Black Vici Kid will be considerably
worn. In fact, this is becoming more
and more an al1-the-year-around
leather,
The blucher cut lace shoe will be a
strong seller. more particularly in the
heavy feathers and round toe shapes,
this combination strongly suggesting
the custom-mad shoe. Patent colt.
in button pattern, will continue to be
the shoe for dress and Sunday wear.
For the well-dressed ma of more
conservative tastes the lace and
blucher patterns in straight shape
lasts. medium narrow toe. fairly high
custom heel and close trimmed sole
will lead.
We are indebted TO the w. L. Doug
las Shoe Company, s27 Broad street,
whose opening occurs August "a, for
an advance inspection of the fall and
winter styles. "s

ing two cases for indications of in
sanity. Both were taken in yesterday.

sure there WI no repetition of the Of
tense.
Birds are very valuable to the
scientist, and their influence on the
unfolding minds of our boys and girls
cannot be denied. Their economic
value, their beauty of plumage, or of
song, their interesting habits, should
all be familiar to American youth.
There is scarcely a trait Of huniad
nature which will not be found reflect
ed in the life of a bird. This argues
well for their intelligence surely.
Shakespeare makes over six hundred
references to birds or bird-life in his
writings; Wordsworth's verses are full
of illusions to birds; what a barren
thing life would be without them!
THE black and yellow-billed cuckoos
are especially destructive of the tent
caterpillar; the rose-breasted grosbeak
keeps down the potato bugs; even the
sparrow, who seems to have made few
friends in this country, has been OBJ
served by me carrying to it's young the
little green insect known as the rose
aphis. AS sparrows breed three or more
times a year, if the weather be favor
able, and feed their young on m-any
kinds of insects during these periods,
this should somewhat lessen the prejn-
dice against them.
LAS for the starlings, forty-odd pf
which were destroyed by the wanton
firing last Thursday, there is no bird
more thoroughly p~ainstaking n sys-
tematic in searching every foot. nay,
every inch of ground, every dad of
grass. every hole or furroW for grubs
and larvae.
1T is a pity the sparrow's voice has
nothing to recommend ii, but If we
human beings We're to be judged ac-
cordingly by the quality of u voices,
what a wedding out of the human
species there would be-"

CELEBRATIONS AND
CEREMONIES.

In addition to the numerous celebra-
lions of feasts and holidays by various
organizations and the observance of ma
fional holidays by Washingtonans in
general. the years record of ceremonies

fame
Hundreds of Germans came to this city

THE COURTS.

The opening of the new building for the
Court of Appeals, the establishment of
the probation system in the criminal
courts. the adoption by the justices of the
District Court of Appeals and of the SUI
preme Court of the District OF Columbia
of black silk robes-the insignia of judi
cial authOrity-the appointment of d new
district attorney and the selection OF a
new auditor for the court were among
the principal events that attract atten-
ton when one reviews the happenings of
1910 in judicial circles in the District.
The compromise of the claim of the
Catholic University OF America against
the bankrupt estate of Thomas h. NaS-
gaman. its former treasurer. was Il lea
ture OF the years work in the courts.
With the consent of the court. H. Rozier
Dulany. trustee of the Waggaman estate,
paid the university $c11IOt0 in full set
and thus brought to an end the litigation
which has been in progress since the Nag-
gaman failure in 1904. BY means of the
settlement, it is expected, the general
creditors will receive about One-fOurth of
the money due them.
Two other matters of widespread inter-
est now awaiting decision in the courts
both under consideration by the Justices
before whom they were argued. One
seeks to require the board of education to
reScind its rule requiring vaccination
a condition precedent to enrolment in the
public schools. The other raises the
question whether or not the District ST.
preme Court has jurisdiction to review
commission. The latter is known as the
Alaskan rate case.

WITH THE POLICE.

Police activity during the past year re-
suited in the filing of 3.421 cases against
alleged offenders. Included in the num-
her of arrests were more than the average
number of homicide cases. they aggre-
eating nearly a. score; Arrests for viola
tons of petty regulations greatly in
creased the years record.
The police proved efficient in handling
homicide cases during the year. not one
person accused Of murder having escaped
In one case of homicide. a member of the
police force c. G. Baston of the seventh
precinct. was the defendant. He was &C.
cused of killing his wife. In several in
stances the slayers committed suicide.
Two robberies committed during the
wear attracted more than usual attention
because of the amount of property involv-
ed. In one case Mrs. Henrietta Bugher.
wife of a deputy police comm missioner in
New York, was robbed of $4,000 worth of
diamond jewelry, while visiting her par.
ents at IA Lafayette square; iu another
case Mrs. Rebekah B. Hornsby of 1715
/ street was robbed of $1,000 worth of
jewelry.

Accidental deaths include all cases OF
death from accident in which no person
was held responsible and charged with
an offense. the total number of such cases
being 17j. There were IS suicides during
the year. the largest number. II, having
been committed during March and the
smallest number. 3. in February. The
largest number of homicides, Z. were re-
corded in December, the number includ-
ing one death from an automobile acci-
dent, in connection with which the chauf-
feur was held to await trial.
Eighty inquests were held during the
twelve months, an increase over the num-
Der in past years The increase resulted
from a decision Of Corporation Counsel
Thomas that inquests were necessary in
all cases Of suicide. The question was
raised In the case of Norval T. Harris,
inspector in the street cleaning depart
ment. who was found dead near Sth and
I streets southwest in September. Coro-
ner hewitt made an investigation and
reached the conclusion that he had COM
mitted suicide. The coroner's conclusion
was questioned. and the corporation coun-
sci decided that an inquest must be held,
and since that time inquests have been
held over the bodies Of all suicides.

THE DISTRICT NATIONAL
GUARD,

The year 1910 was one Of progress in
the reorganization along the lines laid
down In the act Of Congress approved
FEBRUARY Is. 1909. and which permitted
the National Guard of the District of
Columbia to conform To the new militia
law. The greatest present need of the
guard Is adequate armory facilities. the
omcers say, and they point out that
maintenance Of any organization under
the present armory conditions speaks well,
Tor the military spirit of the citizen
soldiery of the District. In this they are
upheld by every regular army officer
who has inspected the guard. All have
reported that the armory conditions are
wretched and have recommended that an
adequate armory be furnished the Dis
trict without delay. This sentiment was
crystaiized in resolution passed BY the
Interstate National Guard Association at
lis convention in ST. Louis last Noyem-
her. The resolution demanded that Con-
gress erect In the District a model Ma
tionai Guard armory. A site has been
selected and plans prepared for an appro-
