Basketry Is Popular.

Basketry proved one of the most
popular forms Of work. Baskets of
many sizes, shapes and hues are to be
seen. Some were made by very young
children.
Embroidery was one of the most pop
ular kinds of needle work, and one of
the chief articles of wear decorated
with it were aprons. Many of them
have illustrations of nursery rhymes
worked out in embroidery. Then there
are towels, bureau covers and the like
The article on which the playground
prides itself most. however, is prob
ably a large tray, part woodwork and
part basket work. Beneath the glass
of the tray a number of beautifully
colored butterflies and dried flowers
are arranged. This is probably one of
the most attractive as well as unusual
things made on the Fairgrounds this
year.

MOTION MADE TO HASTEN
NEWMAN CUSTER CASE
Attorneys for W. j. Frizzell Ask
U. S. Supreme Court to Ad-
vance Hearing.

The motion to advance in the supreme
Court of the United States the case OF
District Commissioner oliver P. New
man. whose appointment to Office. it is
charged, was illegal. the reason given
being that Mr.. Newman was not resi-
dent of the District in the sense of the
law providing for such appointments.
was filed with the court today by at
torneys for William J. F'rizzell. who
brought the case against Mr. Newman.
The attorneys filing the motion are
Arthur A. Birney and William ]. Neale.
Reasons for Early Action.
The attorneys request that the New
man case be heard within the present
term of the court. if possible. and give
the following reasons for making this
request:
"First That the case is one i'm quo
Warranto to determine the right OF the
plaintiff i'll error, Mr.. Newman. to hold
Commissioner Of the District of Co
lumbia. it being averred that under
the statute creating such office he is
ineligible thereto After a trial before
jury in the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia he was adjudged
a usurper Of the Office and ousted there
from. Upon his appeal to the Court
of Appeals this judgment was affirmed.
and from this Judgment the cause was
brought to this court by writ of error.
Second. The cause is one of large
public interest to the people of the
District Of Columbia and to others
dealing with the municipality, in that
1t involves the right of the plaintiff in
error to hold the Office and exercise
the functions of Commissioner of the
IClgtrlct of Columbia with nj he
ers and rights attached thereto.
Alleged Usurpation of Office.
Third. That although plaintiff in
error was by judgment of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia,
which was affirmed by the Court of Ap-
peals, adjudged to have usurped the
Office Of Commissioner of the District
of Columbia and to be ousted there
from, he has continued and yet con-

INCREASE IN RETURNS
UNDER INCOME TAX LAW
Comparison of January, 1915. With
Same Month Last Year-Pro-
visions Better Understood.

There were, in the month of Janu-
airy. this year, twice as many returns
of incomes, under the income tax law,
fled with the collectors Of the sixty
three internal revenue districts of the
United States as were filed in the
same period last year. Figures for the
month of February are not yet avail
able.
While the returns filed in January.
1919. represented about one-hfth OF the
total number OF returns, the fact that
there are twice AS many filed in Janu-
airy this year. is not to be interpreted
as meaning that 10 per cent OF the
total returns expected for the tax
period of this year were represented
regarded as indicating that there are
TO be double the number or a great
increase in number of returns filed this
year.
Better Understanding OF Law
The only positive explanation to be
given, it is stated is that the individ
ual taxpayer understands better how
to make returns. and has gone about
it more quickly TO the extent repre-
sented by the increase in number of
returns filed.
Last year there were approximately
426,00O returns filed by individuals
with the collectors over the United
States. Not all these paid taxes, the
actual number of taxpayers being

SCOTT GOES TO UTAH
TO PAcIFY THE PlUTEs
General Will Try to Induce Rene
gades to Give Up Leader
for Murder.

Brig. Gen. Scott. chief Of staff OF the
army, left here today for Utah to at
tempt peaceful settlement with the re-
calcitrant Pluto Indians
Gen Scott has long record not only
as an Indian fighter, but also as a medi

Department, it was decided to ask Gen.
Scott to see IL he could not bring the
renegade band OF Piutes in to give up

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter OF
age, sex, color OF rank. If not the
most dangerous of human af-
fiictions it is one of the most pain
full. Those subject to rheumatism
should eat less meat, dress as
warmly as possible, avoid any I'M
due exposure, and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
rheumatism is caused by uric
acid which is generated in the
bowels and absorbed into the
blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from
the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin arc
also a means of freeing the blood
of this impurity. In damp and
chilly. cold weather the skin pores
are closed. thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they be-
come weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which
keeps accommodating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventual
" settling in the joints and mus
Giles, causing stiffness. soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rlieuma-
tism get from any pharmacy about
four ounces of Jad Salts; put
tablespoonful in glass of water
and drink before breakfast each
morning for a week This is said
to eliminate uric acid by stimulat-
ing the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these i'm
purities.
