The coaches resemble a beehive on a
busy day No wonder the small boy
will think a circus has sneaked into
town without letting him know by
flaming billboard announcements.
Many teams, some with six, some with
four or only two horses, will be load

trip TO The Playhouse, where the melo-
drama will be shown all of next week.
The dogs will be loaded into a big

SAYS WASHING MONEY
CHANGES COLOR OF INKS
Report of Labor Union Committee
Declares Process Makes Coun-
terfeiting Easier.

A comparison OF the money washed
with money unwashed readily demon
strates the fact that the process through
the color Of the inks by varying the
shades. affects the character of the paper
and robs the whole product of the pro-
tective characteristics OF the new notes.
Such was the keynote of the report of
the special committee Of the Central La
Dor Union appointed to investigate money
washing, which was read Monday night
at the regular weekly meeting of the
union. Members of the committee re-
ported they had visited number. of
banks and talked with the receiving tell
ers regarding the washed money. They
We're told, they said that the washed
notes gave them two classes of paper
money to watch the new money and the
washed bills. The washing of the money
makes 1t a comparatively easy matter to
counterfeit it. the committee was told.
Washed currency is not permitted to
circulate in Washington, the committee
try. The committee even went SO far as
to state that In order to deceive experts
who are interested In the money-washing
process new notes are washed and then
exhibited as old money which has gone
through the renOvating process.
Upon the motion of =. j. Ryan, the
central body unanimously voted to adopt
the report. which was signed by John a.
Mcdonald. l.. A. Sturne, John II. Lorch,
John Weber and Charles T. Smith.
4 movement was launched last night
to have Washington selected as the meet
vention Of the American Federation of
Labor in 1914.

TALKS ON COST OF LIVING.
Prof. Corbett Says Farmers May
Combine to Get Prices.

That farmers throughout this country
may combine to get just prices for their
produce and unite. in Starving the
cities until they get what they ask for
food, was the prediction of Prof L. c.
Corbett. horticulturist of the Department
Of Agriculture. in an address at the Y. NJ.
c. A. last evening. Prof Corbett's sub
ject was Feeding the Multitude
Municipal markets were advocated by
the speaker as one method of reducing
the cost Of living. He also urged that
the man who was willing to take his
purchases with him be given lower
prices than the man who had them sent.
The ploblem of the high cost of living
does not rest with the farmer for So
luton" declared Prof Corbett He has
been striving for years to produce more
crops at less cost, and he is doing it, We
must also work on the other side Of the
problem-hOw to get the farmers produce
to the consumer economically and in
proper condition.
Il am glad that the conditions which
lead to this question Of the high cost
of living are in existence. The city has
long been drawing apart from the coun-
try: the solution Of the high-living cost
problem will bring them back again."

ANACOSTIA.

Members of the Minnesota Avenue I'M
provement Association are not in favor
of an appropriation of $50 600 for placing
a draw in the Pennsylvania avenue
bridge as recommended by the Commits
sioners to Congress, according to dis
cuSsionS last evening at the January
meeting of that body at ]. 7. Herbert
home, on Good Hope road 1t was stated
that the draw was desired in order tC
permit of taking the necessary dredges
beyond the bridge to continue the flat
reclamation work, but the members could
not see why these dredgeS could not be
dismantled and taken beyond the bridge
The association went on record as in
favor of the employing of additional
medical inspectors in the public schools
of the district, and also the establishing
of a visiting nurses department. Rev.
George NJ. Cummings presented this mat
ter. The school committee was instruct
ed TO draft a suitable resolution.
1t was pointed out that at the present
time the large water mains which sup
ply that section of the District east of
the Eastern branch crossed the Pennsyl-
vania Avenue bridge, attached to said
bridge in an open manner. and it was
decided to ask that these pipes be placed
underground in order to prevent a pos
sible damage to them. which would re-
suit in completely shutting off the water
supply to this section.
After lengthy discussion on the
Works and Kenyon bills now before the
House. both were finally adopted. Much
opposition was expressed to the Works
bill on the ground that it was not fair
TO restrict trade merely by raising the
license. thereby giving all of the business
to a few.
The question of segregation of the
white and colOred passengers on street
cars was touched upon, but the matter
was indefinitely laid upon the table.
The annual election of officers was
held at the close of the business with this
result: DIR. George c. Havenner. presi-
dent; Charles F. Linger. vice president;
w. W. Tolson. secretary, and Rev.
