ported From Different

A series OF petty thefts at houses
where the front doors or back gates
were left unlocked caused the Police
Department officials to issue a warn
ing today for householders to keep
their doors locked.
Four such robberies occurred today
and yesterday. Henry p. King re-
ported to The police today that q

was taken from the hall Of his home,
2o7 Pennsylvania avenue northwest
while the family were at dinner last
night.

FIVE FIRE ALARMS
WITH NO DAMAGE
District Only Loser in
Blazes of Last Twenty

Five fires in the last twenty-four
hours is the record that today appears
on the department books. To respond
to the FIVE alarms sounded for fires
that were exiting uished before any dam
age had been done cost the District
government $500.
The first no damage" blaze was in
the paint store Of Charles E. Hodgkins,

ing of fire in a new furnace was the
cause. sooty chimney at the home
of Mrs. Alice U. Hunt. 1916 Wisconsin

the blaze before the engine arrived on
the scene.
While No. 20 was going to the Wis
consin avenue call, truck No. was
called out for slight blaze at 1870
Sunderland place, owned and occupied
by Mrs. F. H. Weeks. An oyerheated
latrobe was responsible. No. . engine

Marval Wyeth when the chimney of his
home at 1923 Nineteenth street north

The last call for the engines was at

Dixon lives. An overheated chimney
was the cause.

LABOR TO CONTINUE
FIGHT ON MEYER
Opposes Eight-Hour Law in
Battleship Con-
Struction.

Organized labor is making the most
determined effort to head off the
plans Of Secretary of the Navy
Meyer, who wants to get legislation
through which will make II unneces.
sary for him to have one of the big
battleships built in a Government
yard, and which will also make the
application of the eight-nour law in
construction of warships unneces-
sary.
The plans are to wage the fl"
on the floor of the House against the
provisions Of the naval bill in these
respects. Failing in the House, the
struggle will be carried to the Senate
naval committee and to the Senate, II
1t is being pointed out by organized
labor that Secretary Meyer has placed
himself at variance with President
Taft. inasmuch as the President has
urged Congress: through his messat
that the eight-hour law be extended.
The spectacle Is presented of the
President urging extension of the
eight-hour law and one Of his Cabi-
net working for its curtailment.
One of the remarkable features of
labor leaders that the United State
Steel Corporation is anxious to have
Congress refuse to apply the Ell
hour law to battleship construction.
and to force the Government out of
the business Of constructing battle
ships. 1t Is declared that the steel
corporation foresees that. If the Gov
ernment insists on application of the
eighth hour law to battleship con-
structlon. II will soon extend its reg
ulattons in this respect, so that 1t will
be impossible for the steel corpora
tion to employ men on any phase of
iron and steel work for the navy, or
the Government, on which eight-hour
labor Is not employed.

L|NCOLN'S HONESTY
SUBJECT OF SERMON
Rabbi. Simon Delivers Dis
course in Eighth Street
Temple.

Taking for his topic "Lincoln's Defini-
ton of Honesty" the Rev. DR.. Abram
Simon, in place Of the usual Friday af-
ternoon sermon, delivered at the Eighth
Street Temple of the Washington He
brew Congregation, gave a short lecture
on Lincoln, his principles, and his work.
In the course of his address DR.. Simon
said:
''Lincoln's definition of success was
the best that have found in an exami-
nation of 500 other definitions of the
same. word. He said that he was not
bound to win, but to be true; not
bound TO succeed. but to live up to the
best that was in him; to stand with any
man when he is in the right, and to
part with him when ne is in the wrong.
"Lincoln's success was based on the
three principles of work, merit. and hon
esty. No man can say that he did not
work when he started with every handt-
cap against him and rose to the posi-
ton he did. In all the criticism OF Abra-
ham Lincoln by friends and foes, In all
the vast controversies in which he was
engaged, and the literature written about
him, not one word was said against his
honesty. And he believed that honesty
was better than success

YOU SURELY MUST TRY
THIS FOR A BAD COLD
Breaks Up the Most Severe Cold
and Ends Grippe Misery In
Just a Few Hours.

The most effective and harmless way
to cure the Grippe or break a severe
cold, either in the head, chest, back,
stomach, or limbs, is dose of Pape's
Cold Compound every two hours until
three consecutive doses are taken.
You will distinctly feel the cold break
ing and all grippe symptoms going after
the very first dose. 1t promptly relieves
the most miserable neuralgia pains,
headache, dullness, head and nose stufs
fed up, feyertshness, sneezing, sore
throat, running of the nose, soreness,
stiffness, and rheumatic aching.
Take this harmless Compound as d.
rected, with the knowledge that there
Is no other medicine made anywhere
else in the world which will cure your
cold or end Grippe misery as promptly
and without any other assistance or
bad after-effects as 25-cent package
of Pape's Cold Compound, which any
druggist in the world can supply.
After three years research we have
conclusively demonstrated that clinine
is not effective in the treatment of colds
or grippe.
