DOG GONE IDIOTS
EP|THET LEADS TO
FINE OF PHYSICIAN
Court Holds That DR.. Curtis
Mentioned Different Type
of Idiot.

Because he believed DR.. ]. b. Curtis,
tr., used stronger language than dog
tFone idiots" when Congressman Say-
den and his secretary Chester Harrison,
failed to- make way for him as he was
passing in his automobile, Judge Pugh
fined the physician $40 in Police Court
this morning. Mr. Slayden accused DIR.
Curtis of using much stronger language
very much stronger.
The case hinged on whether DR.. Gus
tis called the two complaining witnesses
"dog-gone idiots" as he says he did
or idiots" of a more unqualified sort,
as the Congressman and his secretary
alleged. The complaining witnesses said
that they were on their wayp to the
Capitoi between s and . o'clock on the
morning Of April 9. When Just above
the Cochran Hotel, they were forced to
walk in the street for short distance
because of distractions on the sidewalk.
DR.. Curtis came up behind them and
nearly struck them. they testified.
''lAs this man went past us,' said
Congressman Slayden. "he said. as
nearly as I can remember: Here you
- idiots, why cont you keep on the
sidewalk
II said to Mr.. Harrison Observe the
number on that car, and we will see If
pedestrians have any rights in the
streets of Washington.
Questioned by Attorney B. r. Leigh
ton, counsel for DR.. Curtis, as to why
he was uncertain about the defendant 8
remark, Congressman Slayden said:
when an epithet and insult are hurled
at you In the street and you are mad,
Your memory does not always stay by
you.'
DR.. Curtis told the court that he blew
his horn seven or eight times, but the
two men paid no attention.
In summing up the case. Judge Pugh
said: " 'Dog-gone' isn't the expression
a man would use under such circum-
Etances. That Is a polite parlor fora,
OF the stronger expression, and I have
no doubt that the defendant In his
anger made use of the language
charged"

HaWaiians Get
Wood From Ocean

In certain of the Hawaiian Islands
the natives dive for their f1rewood. This
is drift that is brought down from the
uplands by freshets that follow heavy
rains. Much of the island timber Is ex-
tremeiy heavy, and. instead OF floating
in orthodox fashion, it promptly sinks
10 the bottom. As the freshet gains
headway, down come the heavy tree
trunks and branches, dashing fiercely
against the rough lava sides of the
stream and humping against the bot

The current carries them well into the
ocean, where they settle into the sand.
The first stage of their journey Is over.
In a day or two the ocean rises and

which catch the logs and splinter and

At this point the opportunity for

Paris May Erect
Houses for Poor

High rents have become such a seri-
GUS problem In Paris that the munici-
pallty is considering the floating of a
large loan for the purchase of vacant
lots and the erection of houses to be
rented at low rate TO the poorer
classes. An American Government agent
there reports that commission ap-
pointed to consider the question has re-
ported in favor Of Paris borrowing
SSS, ,800, 900 to carry out the enterprise 1t
is proposed that the debt be secured by
offering the rents and the municipal
budget as security.
The proceeds OF the loan is to be uti-
lized for constructing dwellings to be
reserved in part for families with more
than three children less than sixteen
years of age. It is proposed that rent
schedules Of the apartments shall not
be lower than the following:
Families of not more than three chill
drsn, four rooms, $77.20; three rooms,
S6+27; two rooms, $44.97 a year. Fami-
lies OF not more than three children,
four rooms. $3.50; three rooms, $55. 81 ;
two rooms, s34. SO.
The rents are to be calculated in such
a manner as to insure annal returns of
90 to per cent on the capital in
vested, including depreciation. the rents
varying according to the cost Of the
land and expense Of construction.

When Near the Sea

II was my imaglnation-but no-as soon
AS I'd strike the salt marshes on my

TO have that nauseating, musty flavor.
Id almost have to give up smoking.
The fault I've since found, lay with the
sea air. Sea air salt and moist, makes
tobacco sick'-'sick' is the trade term.
Sick tobacco Is tobacco I'm which grows

that burns with a disagreeable, cam
