MILLER BROTHERS WIN
LIQUOR LICENSE PLEA
Excise Boards Action, However
Will Be Contested in Court
by League.

The excise board today granted the
application of P. E. and E. A Miller for
a saloon license at sol 14th street
northwest.
Announcement of the boards action
was followed by a statement by A. E.
Shoemaker. attorney for the Anti
Saloon League, that the decision will
be contested In court. 1t is expected
that legal proceedings will be insti-
tuted by the league next week.
The Miller establishment occupies
the northeast corner of 18th and E
streets northwest. Recently 1t was
closed when the excise board refused 1t
entrance. Application then was made
for a 14th street entrance.
Anti-Saloon Leagues Contention.
The contention of the Anti-Saloon
League Is that change Of entrance does
not effect q change Of location. 1t Is
on this point that the case will be
fought out in the courts.
The Jones-Works law provides that
there shall not be more than three sa-
looms on any one side of block be.
tween intersecting streets. When the
original Miller application was made
there were five saloons on Z street be-
tween 18th and 14th streets. Two OF
, the number including the Miller estab.
lishment, were refused new licenses.
Immediately thereafter request for per-
mission to file new application with
14th street entrance was made by the
Miller brothers. This was granted BY
the board and the case came up for E
hearing yesterday. Attorney Shoe
maker was present and urged that the
application be denied on the grount
| that to take other action would amount
to a subterfuge Of the law. The ap
! plicants were represented by Attorney
n. P. Sullivan, who contended that hii
clients had complied with all require
ments of law in submitting their ap
plication.
+ The boards action today brings tn,
| total number Of licensed saloons in thu
District up to 2ss. or two less than th'
total number allowed by law. The Mil
! Ter saloon will open up. 1t is stated. a.
/ soon as an entrance can be cut through
! from the 14th street side.

CHILDREN VS.. CARPETS

MADISON, Wis, July 22,-If the
carpet or the children must fade let
it be the carpet. But there are
means Of preventing the fading OF
either.
1--WE find that drop shades of sun
proof fabrics, drawn on the side of
the most direct sun rays, will do a
great deal toward preserving the
freshness of the furnishings says
Mrs. R. H. Streator, steward of the
University Of Wisconsin commons.
But our chief aid in securing sun
resistant carpets and rugs lies simp-
Iy in choosing the very best mater
ial on the market and insisting on
a guarantee. Our parloors are open
constantly and subjected to so much
wear and tear that our furnishings
usually wear out before the light
factor has much chance to disturb
us. But our rugs sometimes have
a lifetime of as much as five years.
THE rooms locality and exposure
should be considered first in choos--
ing the carpet If it is in a shady
corner brighter colors may be chosen
than if it receives a great deal of
sunlight.
And it is much better to adapt
the furnishings to the light than to
shut the light out"
