Revocation Ordered.
= An appeal was taken by the Corpora

ordered the revocation Of the license.
A motion was filed last week by
Henry E. Davis and Charles w. Darr,
attorneys for Gardiner, setting forth
that the appellate court issued the
mandate "improvidently," and that the
license in question had expired. Chief
Justice Shepard says there was no
foundation for the first ground alleged.
AS to the second ground. the court
says:
There Is nothing in the record to

AYERS WOMEN WEAR
GOWNS CUT TOO LOW
!. M. c. A. Secretary Says Many
Toilettes He Saw New Year
Eve Are Inexcusable.

Women of Washington wear their
evening gowns cut too low. This is the
conclusion of William Knowles Cooper,
secretary Of the Y. NJ. c. A., as the
result OF tour Of the city on New
Year Eve.
Il visited three OF the prominent
hotels In the CITY," he says. THE toi-
1ettes OF many women were inexcusable;

not be but bad. / would heartily favor

Mr.. Cooper declares he Is opposed to
the city's policy OF segregation to reg
uiate the social evil. but he would favor
the establishment of a morals court to
deal with offenders. much as does the
Juvenile court.
To Christian workers, Mr. Cooper
sounds a warning against personal in
vestigation OF red light districts, lest
they become the victims OF vice.

REFUSE TO FREE
RICH ARCHITECT
WHO SOUGHT TAFT
Authorities Deny Plea of
Friends for Chicagoan
in Asylum.

In spite of efforts on the part of
friends to have Anthony Hunt, a prom
inent landscape architect of Chicago,
who was arrested at the White House.
where he was making a determined ef-
fort to see the President, transferred
to Garfield Hospital, the District au-
thorities today declined to release him
from the Washington Asylum Hospital
until the case had been passed on by
the asylum physicians.
. A formal charge Of insanity was
lodged against Hunt this morning by
Policeman w. S. Brady, who arrested
him at the White House yesterday af-
ternoon. Hunt was formally committed
for observation by Sanitary Officer
Sroufe on Brady's affidavit
Said He Was Envoy.
Asserting that he had been appointed
Ambassador to Great Britain, Hunt, who
had escaped from an attendant at Gar
field Hospital, called at the White
House and demanded an interview with
President Taft Policeman. Brady, who
was on duty at the Executive Offices,
asked Brady IL he had an appointment
with the President. He took the Wis
itor's card in to one of the clerks, who
impossible to see the President unless
it were a case of life and death.
Case of Life and Death.
This is a case of life and death" said
Hunt. IT am the new ambassador to
the Court of st. James, and 1t is i'm
perative that / see Mr.. Taft right
away"
Hunt was then placed under arrest
and the House of Detention wagon
summoned. When the wagon arrived.
Hunt was told he would be taken to
see the President. Brady took him to
the First precinct station, from where
he was transferred to the Asylum Hos
pltai
Friends Of Brady, including Francis
Taylor. private secretary to Secretary
Of the Treasury MacVeagh. said they
were convinced Hunt was suffering
from a temporary mental breakdown,
caused by overwork.

CAPITAL MOTORISTS
TO FIGHT FOR FAIR
PLAY IN MARYLAND
Plan Mass Meeting to Con-
denim Laws and Method
of Enforcement.

Confronted with the necessity of either
purchasing State license for 1913 or
abandoning the use of the Maryland
roads, Washington automobilists are
making an aggressive campaign to OBJ
tain from Maryland the same courtesies
which are extended to Marylanders
troduced condemning the Maryland laws
District
Plans are being made for holding
mass meeting for the purpose of taking
action terminating the present condi-
tions created by the Maryland auto
mobile laws. Resolutions will be in
troduced concerning the Maryland laws
and the way they are administered.
1t is estimated by District officials
that IL the same charges were made by
the District against Maryland automo-
bilists as are made by Maryland against
Washingtonians, the revenues from that
source would yield the District approx
mately $4,000 q year. The income to the
District from Maryland licenses last year
was N,5H. II. NJ. Woodward, permit
clerk Of the District. is now engaged in
a compilation of figures showing the
exact amount of revenue the District
would obtain IL, instead of 81 for a
license tag the District charged s. for
a ten-horse-power, $40 for twenty-horse-
power, SIS for thirty-horsepower, $50 for
forty-horsepower. and SIS for all cars
over rty-horsepower.
The Maryland laws, automobilists
declare, seem to have been framed
with the specific intention of making
automobilists pay for temporary road
privileges which are granted free to
visitors from neighboring States. Ef-
forts have been made by the Commits
sioners to adjust the permit question
but the States officials have
refused to treat with them. The attack
on the Maryland law by District auto
mohilists is the result.

UNCLE SAM LEADS
In MAKING FILMS
Exported Moving Pictures Would
Stretch From New York
to Manila.

Eleven thousand miles of motion
picture film, thirty million dollars
worth OF automobiles. a million dol
lars worth of telephones. and more
than one hundred thousand dollars
worth of aeroplanes were exported
from the United States in 1912.
This country is the worlds greatest
producer Of motion picture film. The
Quantity exported aggregates more
than 60,0e0,000 feet. or enough to
stretch from New York to Manila
A striking fact shown in the auto
mobile export figures is the marked
decline in price since 1907. or in the
past five years. In 1907 the average
export price of all automobiles was
$500. In the year Just closed IL
was $1,000

PROLOGUE

This humorous tale, written
in McCutcheon,s best vein, is
faulhess in its morals, despite its
title, and cumulative in its inter-
est. 1T may be stated in strict
confidence that Edith did not
actually have more than one hus-
band; consequently the gentle
reader need harbor no appre-
hension on this score. Like all
other estimable married women,
Edith had only one husband, but
circumstances arose through
which it seemed necessary for
her husband to be in two places
at the same time, and how this
was accomplished and what the
outcome was- But wait q bit; let

THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
Its Name Does Not Quite Fit This
Wondrous Constellation.

The Southern Cross, wonderful alike
to those living in the southern half
Of the world and to the tourist thereto.
Is Il of the most conspicuous and in
teresting Of all the southern configura-
lions.
Situated at a distance of about thirty
degrees from the south pole. it is plain
ly visible in all regions south of the
equator, and also to some distance
north, about as far as the tropic Of
Cancer. The farther south one travels
the higher in the heavens will appear
the cross. and naturally the more con-
spicuous it becomes.
1t seems to have received it's name.
not like the northern consultations
from the ancients. but. like most Of the
southern CONGREGATIONS from the Por-
tuguese navigatorS. during their ex-
plOrations into the southern waters.
1t is said that when Dante came out
from Inferno" he declared that he
had seen a mighty cross set in the
southern armament, and the naviga-
tors set about to find such a figure
and settled upon this one as best full
filling the conditions. That it is diff
cult, at first glance. to picture this rs
a true cross. is not surprising. for had
it been named the kite" Il much
closer representation could have been
imagined. The so called false cross
midway between the cross and the
bright star Campus. although com
posed Of fainter stars. is much more
regular and symmetrical in shape.
Taken all in all. this constellation of
the Southern Cross. which has been
the wonder of centuries. still holds its
place as a remarkable curiosity, ever
with the advance Of astronomical in.
vestigation. and with the data obtain.
ed from the spectroscope and the
photograph. u efforts still find I'm
limited problems vet to be solved. And
above all others, that Of the Southern
Cross is yet far from a complete solu.

PUZZLES OF SLEEP.
Noise and Slumber and the Marvellous
Rapidity Of Dreams.

noise enhanced the value Of a nights

to an interviewer that he could never

quiet. but as soon as the noise begins.

that ever | slept in my life l never did
pass a night with more %epicurism Of
sleep; there being now and then 4

between waking and then sleeping
again, one after another. I never had

The probability that we get snatches
pose ourselves to have remained cor.
tinuously awake is supported by the
phenomena Of dreams. Mark Twain
accounted for his own disappearing
visitor by the belief that he had I'M
consciously had a very short nap. and
many have explained visions of ghosts
as due to dreams during such short
maps.
For nothing is better established in
connection with dreams than that an

during an almost i~nfiniteSimal time.
Alfred Maury had a long. vivid dream
