MASQUERADE MATCH
SEEN IN SOUTHEAST
Nuts Gain Advantage of 56
Pins Over Squirrels at
MaIoney's Alleys.

Four bowlers and q newspaper mar
who posed as The Nuts won q three.
game set from a quartet of bowlers and
Tony Sesso. who posed as The Squirrels
at the institution conducted by Pete
Maloney In Eighth street southeast, the
margin Of victory being something like
flfty-six pins. This difference in pinfall
does not nearly represent the proper
comparison OF the teams, as no bowling
etiquette handed down by the Marquis
OF Queensberry was observed. and fig
ures cannot adequately describe the real
difference in the teams.
The only reason The Nuts won was
because they were "nuttier" than the
Squirrels from the time the very frSa
ball was thrust down the alley until
Messrs. Goldberg and Hoffman. anchor
men. wound up the novel competition
by poodling their last two balls AS far
as was observed there was no foul line
regulation enforced, for anything
went" from sliding on ones stomach
over the imaginary line to sliding on
the reversible boundary Of ones anat-
omy.
Tony Sesso. who was tho comedian
for both teams. went SO far as to vault
down the alleys on a broomstick and
sweep the ten little pins off into the
pith with the bristles. On another occa-
sion a member of the Nuts was unable
to get his brake to working in time to
deliver the ball, and the diminutive
sphere carried him three PAGES beyond
The probability Is that II Murphy
Goldberg had not consented to substi-
tute for the Nuts, the Squirrels would
have completely devoured them al
though credit must be given Chief Nut
Wooden for that game Of 123.
All OF southeast washington. includ-
ing President H. B. HALEY. Moe Krauss
and Hervey Rogers, amassed them
selves at Maloney's emporium to watch
the phenomenal teams in action. So
much attention was centercd In the
Squirrel-Nut match that the spectators
turned from the Nesline-Virginia ave-
nue. set to watch the masquerade bowl
ers. and when Virginia avenue is TAX
ing three straight from Neslines there
is something in the air II those loyal
southeast rooters turn their backs on
their favoritee.
. Pete Maloney was master of cere-
monies instead Of anchor man for the
Squirrels. and we admire his choice in
Jobs He could not do enough to make
the visitors at home. and the Nnts are
doing down to call on him again. very
soon.
Here are the official figures of the
queer match rolled by the Nuts and
Sauirrels-if they contain any flaws,
blame 1t on the ones who rolled, not the
official scorer. for he had his troubles:

PUBLIC HELP FOR THE POOR.

Increased appropriations will be
necessary this year Tor the poor relief
and pauper departments of many
cities and towns. In one city whose
report comes to our notice, the Off
cials say that calls for relief have
doubled since January l. over the pre-
ceding year. Whether this is general
or not there will be many calls, for pub
lie help which must be generously
met.
1t is one of the fine things about
American life. that no one ever makes
any question OF the necessity OF lib.
eral help to the poor. If a pauper de.
partment is efficiently, administered
no one thinks OF cutting down its
funds. 1t is accepted that at all haz.
ards poor people must, receive the
help necessary to keep them from suf-
fering.
If person has had misfortune, no
disgrace attaches to the receiving OF
such funds. Indeed to ask and re.
ceive this aid sometimes seems more
self-respecting than practically to beg
for money, by asking people to buy
things they don't want, and would
never take but for the charity motive.

The High Cost Of Distri-
butine Food Products. No. s.

=
A wide range of plans is being tried
in an endeavor to- bring back the old
time condition. Of direct trade be
tween producer and consumer. or at
least, between producer. and retailer
One method attaining some popular
ity, is the public market idea. Farm
ers drive in, or send in some member
OF the family or hired man, with stocks
of goods. Several farmers may com
bine to senI in a supply to the stalls,
Such markets depend for their sue.
cess on several conditions. The AM
erican people will not tolerate for
poor goods. Unless some market di'
rector has the absolute po"er to in
spect the stock and condemn unfit
articles for sale at that market. and
unless he exercises that power strict
ly, a great deal of poor truck will be
worked off. That will give the mar
ket bad name, and outside stores
will be preferred.
Another essential for success is a
good system of rural transportation
Ii the farms supplying the market are
reached only over rough or poor roads
the daily transportation OF goods in
small lots becomes too costly. Ii there
is good trolley or rail connection
with outlying farms. the chance OF
keeping UP regular and fresh supplies
is much better.
A third essential is that the public
give UP its lazy reliance on delivery
wagons, and carry its own bundles.
Efforts are being made all over the
country by agricultural colleges, farm
bureaus. etc, to interest city people
in buying from the farmer by parcel
post and express. Containers are be-
ing devised to carry regular supplies
OF eggs. butter. chicken, green's. etc
It is asserted that a group of city fam
lilies should be able to pay five cents
a dozen more for eggs. five cents a
pound more for butter, than the farmer
now gets, and still underbid the gro
Ger five cents each. This seems to
be hope rather than demonstrated
fact. But there is something in the
idea. The retail dealer, however. ii
he is enterprising In seeking oppor'
tunities for direct purchase Of goods
and if he uses the aid of the news
paper to reach out and broaden his
trade, occupies an impregnable posi-.
tion.
