PORTER'S CHARGES
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
Police Arrest Man Who Helped
Out Salary by Sales of
silk Stockings.

Cabinet officers are not the only
ones who need a side line these high
cost-of-living days. Richard Young,
colored porter in a shoe store at Sew
enth and D streets northwest. found his
salary was hardly sufficient to main
tain him in the style he desired, so he
cast about for some means to increase
his income.
According TO Detectives Armstrong
and Grant, Richard discovered a side
line that was most profitable. The
only trouble with IL, the detectives
say, is that IL happened to violate the
law Realizing the demand that had
been created for high grade silk hos
iery among the colored feminine popu-
lation of Washington by the increasing
popularity of slit skirts and diaphanous
gowns, Richard set out to supply at
least a part OF the demand.
The detectives say that the porter was
doing quite a business in the southwest
section of the city selling four pairs Of
81. 50 silk hose for 81. or 25 cents a pair.
In fact he had no trouble whatever in
selling all he offered at this price.
The trouble was. the police assert
that Richard was taking the stockings
out of stock in his employers store and
was neglecting TO leave a memorandum
The detectives say he admits the charge
Tomorrow he will be arraigned in Police
Court on several charges of petit lar
ceny.

storing up and. properly supplying
crops with water. Soils with a liberal
supply of humus are capable of more
effectually withstanding drought than
similar soils with less humus. The
oat crop fills the soil full of roots, and
the stubble also adds much humus to
the soil.
The oat grain is very valuable feed.
especially for young animals, because
OF its moderately high protein content
and the large amount of ash and min
eral matter. Pound for pound, oats
are not as valuable for feeding ma.
ture animals as corn, four pounds of
corn being equal to about five pounds
of oats. However, when we consider
the cost OF growing the two crops and
the fact that feed Is always scarce
when the oat crop is harvested, we are
forced to admit that every farmer in
the cotton belt should grow oats.
In attempting to build up the worm
out cotton lands. we must depend very
largely on the leguminous crops. Now
the oat crop is harvested early enough
TO permit the growing of leguminous
crop. The leguminous crop may be
plowed under or 1t may be used as
feed, and the manure returned to the
land. If we are going to build up our
land and raise good stock, we must
grow oat crops and follow with legume
crops,
