Happiness

I'take pleasure in stating that have
used DR.. kilmers Swamp-Root. that ]
was greatly benefited by the same and
have used IT in my family. I had
son. when quite young he suffered from
bladder or kidney afIiiction. I called in
my phys ician. he attended him but did
him no, good. Almost by accident
noticed an advertisement about the
curative, properties OF DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. ! procured a bottle and
gave 1t ITO him according to directions
1t cured him Of what we thought was
almost impossible and the same with
others OF my family. I have such
strong faith in Swamp Root that
have never done without 1t in my fam
lily since the wonderful cure of my son
as we'll as myself. I recommend 1t to
all who,suffer from kidney or bladder
troubles and I am led to believe that
it is one OF the best medicines for the
purpose for which 1t Is used. that has
ever been discovered.
This Is my experience from the use
Of Swamp Root Wishing the promo
ters OF this wonderful medicine q large
sale to the suffering public. I am.

Its author. Alex Shell Briscoe. begins

"A Challenge" and the second chapter

are only mildly suggestive of the thrills

Laws Drafted in Corporation
Counseps Office Aims at
PaWnbroker Sales Stores.
NO PROTECTION FOR PUBLIC
Many Now SwindIed Without
. Redress-Regulation Would
Shield the Purchasers.

Laws are being drafted in the office
Of the corporation counsel of the Dis
trict OF Columbia today to enable the
Washington authorities either to clear
the city Of the fake jewelry auction
rooms which, aided by bands and bally-
Zoos have sprung up overnight during
the past year, or to bring the so-called
Pawn Broker Sales Stores under
strict regulation.
As soon as Congress convenes the
passage Of these newly drafted laws will
be sought. A soon as they are on the
statute books-and members Of the cor
poration counsels office believe their
passage is only a matter of time-the
cleanup will begin.
No Redress Now.
IN the meantime, according to Assist
ant Corporation Counsel Rodger White
ford, who has been fighting the fake
jewelry. auctions, the most that can be
done is to make the public understand
that until the proper authority is given
the District Commissioners to regulate
these sales rooms in manner that will
who are pursuaded to buy the articles
offered for sale by the leather-lunged
ballyhoo auctioneers, must do so with
the full understanding that II they are
swindled by Misrepresentation. they
will have to bear the loss.
Records at the District Building show
that in the past fiscal year, about 20 IL
censes for the conduct of auction rooms
in Washington were issued. 1t Is esti-
mated that not more than 50 per cent of
these licenses were obtained by bona
fide and reliable concerns. The other 30
PEI cent, It is said. are made up of the

1T is not hard from outward appear

SUMMER COURSES TO

Johnson-PoweII Schools Asso-
citation Appropriates Funds
for Classes.

Summer courses in vocational training
and coaching" classes will be inaugur-

Parent-Teachers' Association of the
schools.
The establishment of the courses and

Mrs. Young reminded the members,
however, that the association should

make the public hesitate and investi-
gate before doing business in such a
place.
THE recent fight OF the District au-
thcriues against the places failed not
for want of evidence that very often
the purchasing public is made the victim
OF misrepresentatiops, but because the
present statutes, do no give the Conn
missioners sufficient scope to permit
them to draft regulations drastic enough
to make the cheap and unreliable auc-
ton room an unproftable business
while at the same time protecting the
reputable auctioneer."
A Dangerous Loophole.
According to Mr.. Whiteford. one of
the most dangerous loop-holes in the
present law Is the one which. although
providing that the auctioneer must give
a bond Of $4,000. fails utterly to re-
quire him to guarantee his representa-
tions under that bond.
In the proposed legislation which the
District government will seek at the
beginning Of Congress. one Of the prin-
cipal features will be provision rem
edying this defect.
1t is also suggested that a para
graph prohibiting the sale of jewelry
or other personal property by. auction
after 6 o'clock at night would SO far
toward ousting the unprincipled auc.

salesman uSudIly TedpS MS is'leSt
vest from the pockets Of men and wom-
en-, strolling in the downtown section
during the evening and enticed into his
shop through the uncertain methods of
cheap music and cheap comedy.
The new legislation will also seek to
require a Washington residence from
all licensed auctioneers. a provision di-
rected against the "fly-by-" night" va
riety Of swindler.
Would End False Bidding.
Still another provision of the con-
templated regulation Is aimed at the
system of "capping." or false bidding.
of which some Of the cheaper estab-
lishments operating here are suspected.
The section dealing with this phase OF
the question reads:
mo person. firm, or corporation Of
fering for sale or selling any real or
personal property at public auction
in the District of Columbia shall, d.
rectly or indirectly, employ any per-
son or persons for the purpose of
property to be sold with no intention
of purchasing the same, but with the
intetion of raising the price upon bona
fde bidders; nor shall such person,
firm, or corporation. directly or indi-
rectly. employ any person or persons
known as 'encouragers.' who. not be-
ing the criers of such property, but

to purchase any of the property so
offered at auction. No licensed auc-
shall conduct an auction sale
for any person, firm or corporation,
knowing that such person, firm. or

ploys buffers or 'encouragers in vio-
lation Of this article"
Could Weed Them Out.
"If Congress will give us the au-
thority embodied in these proposed
declared Mr.. Whiteford.
there is no reason why in few
weeks after the regulations have gone
on the books. every one Of the fake
jewelry auctioneers now operating in
the city should not be weeded out,

will preclude their return"

Word From McAllen, Texas

In letter written by Al Allen
OF McAllen, Texas. he says that he is
kept busy all the time entertaining
the new baby girl, hauling cabbage
to market, irrigating and cultivat-
potatoes, etc. Cabbage have been
up to 5000 per ton and great
deal of the crop was marketed at
this price. The president of the
Unit Marketing system says the
supply is getting very short and the
price for late marketing may go to
$4,000. He has two acres of late
cabbage yet to market, which he
