NO, only the white ones. Of course,

After the introductions Mr. Blount adj
dressed himself to MIR. Wainwright and
assured that gentleman with fine West

meet any friend of his sons.
HE proved himself my friend last

"Oh, DO sit down" urged Mrs Bount

Arguments in the Gompers. Mitchell

were heard before the Court of Appeals
yesterday.
J. J. Darlington, OF the committee OF
prosecutors, argued that contempt OF

of which is subject to the bar of the
statute of limit itations.
Attorney Clarence A. Wilson, OF the

tanned in the opinion of the United States
Supreme Court of May Is. 1911, which re-
Vcrsed the sentence in the former con-

Newspaper Great Adverti.er,

The method for the city of Washington

to the American people is, in deed. an
important question to all the American N
people. As the beauty of a city is one
OF the chief attractions to the people
who are seeking a home in a large CITY.
Washington. although II is a magnificent
city. SHOULD encourage still more the
building of larger and more beautiful
parks and both public and private build
ings.

advertisements of any city and as wash
inston has an advantage over other cit
les in obtaining the actions Of the execu-
tive and legislative branches of the gov
ernment, The Washington Herald, WASH

ronized more by the people of Washing
ton. In this way this great paper would
grow to be the greatest national paper
and Washington will not need a better
advertisement. b. A wINEBRENER
The interest in this unique contest
is developing to large proportions. and

or price is. A scent loaf, of a standard

made of the best ingredients and sold

to any reasonable minded bread eater a
similar lowering of quality and weight

Modern bread-making methods permit
the use Of substitutes which "our moth

within the pure food law requirements,
and whether the weight Of the loaves of

standards so long maintained, are ques-

authorities, just at this time, could ad-

A new element entered into the situa-
