Labels on Metal Tops.

When putting up fruit in glasses and also in tin cans, says a writer in the Woman's Home Companion, q found difficulty in making the labels stick to the metal tops. used gummed labels, library paste and other sticky sub stances. Still some had to be pasted and repasted until time and patience were both well nigh exhausted. A friend, druggist, came in and with a nail made a few scratches crisscross on the metal tops and put the labels on, to stay indefinitely

Are We Really Musical?

We institute music in our public schools and display our interest in it once a year-at graduation time. We see that our children take music les sons" and judge the result likewise by their capacity to play us occasionally a very nice little piece. Men, in partic- ular-al potential singers and very much needing to sing-look upon it as slightly effeminate or scarcely nat ural and manly thing to do. Music is, in short, too much our diversion and too little our salvation.-Atlantic.

The somme In Ancient History.

The river Somme, in France, is the classical Sanara that played an i'm portant part in the earliest recorded annals of old Gaul. It gave the ancient name Of SamaEobriva to modern Amiens, where Caesar held meeting of the Gaulish tribes in the autumn of B.C. 54 and in which he made his head quarters during the following winter It was from the estuary of the Somme, according to plausible theory, that Caesar started on his second invasion of Britain. n.-Westminster Gazette.

SHOT BY Farmer
Dead Man, Believed to Have
Been Insane, Was Act
ing Suspiciously.

John H. Meile. a farmer, living at 1851
Benning road northeast, shot and killed
Harry Lancaster. a negro, whom he
found in a barn in the rear of his home
about o'clock yesterday morning.
Nellie said he believed the negro had at
tempted larceny and was about TO at
tack him.
After the shooting MeiIe went to the
Ninth precinct and was later released
on his personal recognizance pending the
result OF an inquest to be held this
morning at the Morgue.
Lancaster, who is believed to have been
insane, lived at Lane place. Deanwoed,
D. C. Nellie was awakened about 4:50
o clock by his wife, who heard some one
rumma ging about the barn. Thinking
some one was trying to steal valuable
horse or COW he had there, Meile got Up
and went out with his son, John, 20
years old. As they approached the barn
they saw the shape OF a man in a loft
window.
The two men approached the barn and
the elder Nellie called out: who is
that?" He said he commanded the man
to hold up his hands.
Instead of surrendering, 1t is said, the
negro started toward another window.
Meile raised his - caliber revolver and
fired twice.
One of the shots took effect, striking
the man just under the left arm and
penetrating the heart Nellie then called
up the Ninth precinct and informed them
Policemen Cox. Lomax, and Atchison re-
sponded and later summoning Lieut..
Hodges.
The negro's body was removed to the
Morgue. The inquest will be held al II 80
o'clock this morning by Coroner hewitt.

HUGHES DEPARTS
FOR METROPOLIS
Will Work Out Details of His
Coming Campaign During
New York Stay.

Charles Evans Hughes left Washington
last night for New York. where he will
work out the details of his forthcom-
ing campaign. Except for the brief re-
spite afforded by the celebration of his
class at Brown University, Mr.. Hughes
will be very busy.
The Republican candidate spent a quiet
day with his family yesterday. He has
no political prenouncements to make
and not even the Mexican crisis evoked
any comment, although he had in his
message OF acceptance OF the Republi-
can convention, criticised unsparingly
the administration policy. 1t is prob
able that he will set forth what he has
to say on this subject in his formal
speech OF acceptance. He will take up
with the subcommittee of the national
committee today the question of the
notification date.
Senator Weeks and former Senator
Burton, both of them unsuccessful candi'
dates for the Republican nomination,
called upon Mr.. Hughes yesterday to
extend personally their congratulations.
Except for their visit. Mr.. Hughes de-
voted himself to matters demanding his
attention before his departure from
Washin gton, finding time, however, TO
drive with Mrs. Hughes.
II Is probable that Mr.. Hughes will
spend some tim e at Bridgehsmpton,
Long Island, although he has not yet
decided upon It finally. as his summer
home.

SUPREME
Bench SELECTION
Appointment of Hughes Sue
cessor Anticipated Within
a Few Days.

President Wilson expected to name the
successor of Charles Evans Hughes as
Justice Of the Supreme Court of the
United States in a few days. Authorita-
tive denial was made yesterday that the
President considered postponing the ap-
pointment until autumn.
There are said to be strong reasons
why the President should not neglect
TO name Hughes successor as soon as
he selects him. The court Is understood
to have much important business pend
ing Although Mr.. Hughes completed
his opinions the day he resigned, many
important cases remain to be passed
upon, and 1t is believed that the present
membership of the court will welcome
Hughes successor.
1t is certain that the President will
choose a Democrat. He may look within
his official family for the appointee, as
he did in the case of Justice James c.
McReynolds. who was the Attorney Gen
eral II the President does name a
member of the Cabinet, he is expected
to choose either Secretary of the Inter
ior Lane or Attorney General Gregory.
He is known to have Solicitor General
John W. Davis under consideration also.

Here is one readers opinion regarding
children playing IN the street, which we
touched on in this column on Thursday:
1741 Lanier Place,
June IS 1916.
Mr. 81 Grogan,
Care of The Herald
Dear Sir:
Referring to the inclosed. the CHILDREN
cannot help it. They have to play. They
must do it, just as much as they must
sleep and eat. And they must have
space. Our towns are not built right
when they are built up continuously
There ought to be many vacant lots left
unbuilt on, and kept permanently for
Fairgrounds
The owners cannot afford to keep them.
They must build on the lots in order 10
get any good out OF them.
At the same time, the community as
whole needs to keep them for play
grounds, just the same as it needs to
keep space for streets Why do we
not build on the streets? See what d
lot Of space unused, standing empty.
The moral is, we need a different sys-
tenn Of land ownership. We need the
single tax, so people would not buy land
on speculation, only when they want It
for use. And the single tax would give
such a plentiful revenue to the District
that 1t could afford to buy all the vacant
lots the children need.
Tell this to your automobile friends
Very truly yours
