CIrcumyentlno Satan.

In some parts of the world, parti-
cularly In Germany, 1t is still believed
that the upsetting of the salt.cellar is
the direct act of Satan. And the
habit Of trying to avert any catas-
trophe which may happen by tossing
a little of the salt over the shoulder
is due to the belief that by SO doing
one hits the invisible Satan in the
eye, which temporarily, at least, pre-
vents him doing further mischief.

TWO Meals a Day Sufficient.

Though reticent on many matters,
the British officers Just released from
a German fortress agreed in one mat
ter. They found two meals a day
sufficient In England people are
sometimes addicted to fve--breakfsSt,
lunch, tea. dinner and supper. The
continental fashion is snack for
morning coffee, midday meal and
an evening meal. But when the great
army OF Xerxes was marching through
Asia Minor, and city by city had to
provide food for the day, the people
thanked God that Xerxes and his army
ate but once a day.

Captains Of the several precincts are

Ignorance of these regulations shall
furnish no excuse for diSregarding them,
it is stated in section 2. Copies of these
regulations can be obtained at police
headquarters at any police precinct
station i'm the District of Columbia.
The police anticipate some difficulty in
acquainting residents Of the nearby
states. especially farmers coming to
market. with the numerous requirements
of the new regulations. and trouble is also
expected in the enforcement of sections
81 and - which relate to pedestrians
Section II requires that pedestrians
shall keep to the right and shall not stop
or stand in the way SO as to obstruct the
free use of a sidewalk or a street cross
ing by others.

ers Violated Pure Food Law,

The government may attempt to en-
force the collection of $1,000. 900 from
oleomargarine manufacturers who
used colored cottonseed oil. under the
ban Of the Treasury Department. Com
missioner CabeIl Of the internal revenue
bureau has informed House COM
mittee that the Treasury would take no
action toward a compromise until the
committee and the federal court AT
Chicago had concluded their investiga
lions.
The commissioner estimates thai
taxes amounting to S1.20O,OOO were
evadei by manufacturers who used oil
colOred with sulphur. The companies
have offered 100000 as a compromise
Pure food inspectors failed to catch
the artificial coloring Of the cottonseed
oil. Commissioner Cabell today de-
clared his department would probably
have detected the artificial coloring if
it had not accepted the findings Of the
pure food inspectors.

OPPOSE BILL FOR PARK.
District Commissioners Send Unfa

An undavorable report on the bill OF
Senator Martin for the esta blishment OF
"a public park between Peabody and Tn
derwOod streets. east of Georgia avenue
was sent to the Senate today by the Dis
trict of Columbia Commissioners. The
bin provides that the necessary land shall
be acquired by purchase Or condemna-
ton at a cost of not to exceed $500 an
acre, and proposes to make an appropria-
ton of $427 $50 for this purpose.
In their report the Commissioners point
out that existing law requires that there
be assessment for benefits In such
eases. but that no such provision is con-
tanned in the bill. In addition. they say,
they are not in favor of the proposed
legislation. inaSmuch it is not contem-
plated in the plans of the Mcmillan park
commission, and they know Of no reason
why this particular tract should be Sc

BAN ON SMOKING IN SENATE.
Senator Tillman Begins Campaign to
Suppress Objectionable Custom.

Senator Ben Tillman of South Caro-
lima has begun campaign to stop SEN
atorS smoking in executive sessions The
Senate has been in session mostly be-
hind closed doors this winter and many
senators have awaited themselves of this
opportunity to light cigars and cigarettes
This smoking is very Objectionable to
Senator Tillman, and he has protested
against it at several of the executive SEES
sions That proving unavailing he has
decided to introduce a resolution prohib-
iting smoking in the Senate chamber at
all times.
There is no more reason why senators
should be allowed to smoke in executive
than in open session. said Senator TILL
man, in discussing his resolution. MANY
men object to tobacco smoke, and Just
because they are members of the Senate
they should not be compelled to sit
where they must submit to it"
