In modern conditions farming has &c
be made business proposition. Even
the city man who wishes restful
country home is seldom averse to hav

All farming ought to pay better than
1t does, and the operations Of any one
owning small tract Of land ought to
show what may be realized by apply
Ing business methods to agriculture.
AS land increases In value intensive
farming will come more into vogue
The man of ordinary means who IL
getting started in agriculture must try
to make forty acres accomplish what
he would have used eighty or hun
dred acres for in an earlier day.
The up to date plan Of running lit

PLAN Determined FIGHT

Citizens Look to Senate for an Ap-

Park View citizens are planning to

recommended in the Commissioners esti.

Sentiment in the appropriations sub

NEW "JOY RIDE" PENALTY
FOR ALLEGED vIOlAT0RS
Several for Whom Warrants Now
Await Service Liable to
Heavy Sentence.

At the instance of the United States
attorneys office, Congress passed a bill.
which was approved by the President
and became effective February 3. making
it a penitentiary offense to take any
motor vehicle and use it without having
first obtained the consent Of the owner.
1t was announced at the Police Court to-
day that warrants are now awaiting serv-
ice on several alleged violators. who will
be liable to a maximum penalty OF five
years or a fine Of 81 600. or both, If they
are convicted
Under subchapter Of chapter 10 OF
the District Of Columbia Code. to which
the new measure is an amendment. the
maximum penalty in case Of a conviction
on this charge was six months imprison-
ment in the workhouse. In cases Of Joy
riders who absolutely ruined expensive
machines it was impossible to put the
charge Of destroying private property
against those who took the machine. as 1t
is impossible to show the intention to
destroy It,
Two defendants charged with this Of
Tense in court today were dismissed. as
there was not sufficient evidence to show
that they were guilty, and it was neces-
sary also to charge them under the old
law. as the alleged offense occurred prior
to the approval of the new act by the
President.
The amendment is designed to be pro-
lection to automobile owners, ana the
heavy penalty is counted on to greatly
lessen offenses Of this kind. The amend
ment, which is very broad in its scope. is
as follows:
Amy person. who. without the copsent
Of the owner. shall take. use. operate Or
USED.
operated or removed. from a garage.
stable or other building. or from any
place or locality on a public or private
highway, street, lot. field. Enclosure or
space, an automobile or motor vehicle.
and operate or drive. or cause the same
to be operated or driven. for his own
profit, use or purpose. shall be punished
by fine not exceeding $1,000. or impris-
onment not exceeding five years, or both

ANAC0STIA.

Unanimous Endorsement of the PROPOSE
ton to segregate the white and colored
passengers using street cars In the DIS
trfct of Columbia was made last evening
at the February meeting of the Anacostia
Citizens Association. Recent action taken
by the executive committee regarding this
matter presented the subject for discus
ssion. Jerome Digs bitterly opposed the
action taken, stating that the business
men of this community depended largely
upon the trade Of the colored population
Of Hillsdale. and that it was not fair TO
them to endeavor to segregate them
Those advocating the segregation said II
was done in the public schools. churches
theaters and social and fraternal organi-
cations, and there was no reason why
it should not be done on the street cars.
Charles r. Burr. delegate to the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations. was in
structed to inform that body Of the ac-
ton taken and to urge the passage of
a suitable bill before Congress.
DIR. r. 4. Pyles. chairman of the school
committee. through one of the members.
presented a report last evening to the eff
feet THAI the board of education be asked
to provide assembly halls in both the
Van Buren, and Ketcham school build
ings The report was adopted
M
committee on streets and highways, pre-
scented report covering his efforts on
behalf of obtaining the appropriation of
$4,000 for improving Nichols avenue.
Mr. Otterback also reported that petit
ton had been forwarded to the District
surveyor. signed by number of prop
erty owners. requesting the opening Of
Shannon place between V and w streets.
The report of the special committee
appointed at the last meeting to interview
al q n
buildings and grounds, to request that
the plans for improving Logan Park in
Anacosta be NODDED so that the large
wall which has been placed at the south
end would be reduced in height. was
presented and adopted, and contained the
that the authorities could do
nothing at this time and they requested
that criticism be withheld until the park
was completed. The report stated that
SIS 600 would be spent ultimately to I'M
prove this park and that one of the most
beautiful parks in the District would be
the result according to the architects
plans.
report was presented to the associa-
ton by President Charles r. Burr rela-
tive to the condemnation OF necessary
land on either side or the Anacostla
river in connection with the reclamation
project. Some time ago the proposition
was advanced to institute these proceed
ings and charge benefits to property own
ers within a certain radius. This was
considered unfair. Mr.. Burr stated last
hard work it was certain that bill
would be introduceds in Congress pro-
viding that the expense Of this condemna-
ton be paid from the general appropria-
ton for the reclamation work.
Complaint was made of the new street
lighting system along Nichols avenue,
but it was explained that this system was
only temporary and that as soon as the
