Andrew J. Evans, of north of

Yeggmen effected an entrance
into the Wenrick, Mote & Haw-
kins elevator Office, on Vine
street, near Mud Creek bridge,
some time Thursday night and
blew open the safe. They turned
the safe upside down on some
sacks of clover seed, drilled a hole
in the bottom and used a charge
Of nitro-glycerine. The safe con-
tanned principally books and val
liable papers. and only about $40
in money, which they took. The
drills and brace used they left in
the Office and were turned over
to the police. The manner of ex-
ecuting the job goes to show
pretty conclusively that it was
the work of professionals. The

the same night, but the safe was

MATRIMONIAL ERRORS.

Men sometimes fail to get ont of
matrimony all the peace of mind
they believe their due. One husband
thought himself so happy over a
reconciliation with his wife that
when arraigned for his earlier de-
sertion, he only chucklei. Asked
about his bondsman, he laughed
again. His hilarity spread to all his
hearers except the judge, who, per-
haps never having known the joys
Of domestic reconciliation, sent the
prisoner to Jail for contempt of
court.
Again, man may suffer from a
plethora of wifely tenderness. Such
a one was the painter who was
taken to the police station to COM
front a fearful but forgiving nlatron
deserted by her husband wears be-
fore. Only the protestations OF his
real wife and four children saved
him from expiating his doubles
fault. LIE. any man who lacks wife
and four children take warning from
his escape,
Another victim of the matrimoni-
ally unexpected has even more reas-
on to chide an unkind fate. No un-
known woman has, by her mistaken
recognition, impressed his wife's
identity more forcibly upon his mind.
His wife has never volubly asserted
her claim 10 him. The languor of
he country Jail has never lei Kim to
brood over her inaccessible charms.
His frictionless home has left him
without a poignant sense of her ex-
istence. Like o. Hcnry's hero, in
the lull of busy day he might alb
sent-mindedly propose to her over
again were she conveniently at hand.
1t is no court or Jail or irate spouse
that drives the iron into his soul. It
is the income tax collector from
whom he has forgotten to claim the
$4,000 exemption balm due to the

THE AUTO LICENSE WAR

Some ridiculous results have
grown out # the attitude of the
District-forced upon it by law of
Congress-toward the business of
automobile licenses. The District
issues, for a nominal fee, an in
deterniuate license. States which
feel the necessity of getting an ap-
preciable revenue out of their auto
privileges are not free to adopt reci-
procity regulations with the District,
because if they did so the motorists
of adjacent States would be tempted
to come here and secure their
licenses, which thereafter would be
recognized in the States.
Consequently there is no rec:proc-
ity between the District and the
States. District auto owners must
secure road privileges in the States
by paying to some one of them,
which has the reciprocal arrange
ment, the regular annual fee.
Out of this anomalous condition
has recently arisen a typical COM
plication. The office of good roads,
of the Department of Agriculture,
lately constructed piece of model
and experimental highway in Mont
gomery county, Maryland, from the
District line to Rockville. It rep
resents large investment. and the
Maryland people were extremely
anxious that it should be built where
it is.
Logan Waller Page, head of the
office of good roads, is under the
necessity of travelling over this road
to inspect and study it.. If he could
not do that. there would have been
no excuse for building it as an ex-
perimcntal highway.
Yet when Mr.. Page applied to the
Maryland authorizes for a license
under which he would be free to
travel over the highway he had laid
down in Maryland, he was informed
that he would be required TO pay
the regular Maryland fee for the
annual permit, unless it be shown
that this permit would be used only
for the purpose of admitting official
vehicles Of the Department of Agri-
culture!
1t occurs that this attitude of the
Maryland authorities is a good deal
:ike-ro intention. here, If reflect
ing on Mr.. Page-killing the goose
that lays the golden egg. Mary
land might we'll have afforded to
make an exception in suG1 an
egregious case as this.
The fGolishness Of the District
law. Of course, lies at the bottom
of the trouble. The District should
have a rule under which reciprocal
relations could be established with
