Read pulls" The
Fee-rOciOus Badger.

The social event Of the season,
an old time 'badger-flght, " was
pulled off last Thursday even
ing. Cashier p. J. Read, of the
First National Bank, pulled"
the fee-rocious badger, with
about $50 enthusiastic fans Of
the game in attendance, includ-
ing several auto loads Of ladies,
who were mighty anxious tosee
the fight.
The big badger scared the dog
and that animal run off, thus
spelling a mighty good show for
a scrap, but Mr.. Read certainly
is some ''puller. The badger
is still in evidence at the barber
shop and there is a likelihood
of another fight soon. Fort

GREECE IS STIRRED
Allies Have Seized Greek Fortress of
karraba.

Athens, Jan. 29.-All Greece has
been thrown into turmoil today by
the announcement that an allied force
of French, British, Italian and Rus
sian marines on Friday seized the
Greek fortress OF Karraba in spite of
the violent protest of the Greek COM
mander.
1t is alleged by the allied command
ers at Saloniki that the Greek com
mander at Karraba had allowed Aus
trian submarines to make haven
there and that they had been fur
nished with supplies. This claim is
denied by the Grecian officials.
The feeling is also increased be-
cause Italian and Russian forces
Joined with the French and British
in Selling the fortress. There is no
special objection TO the Russians, but
Italy is known to coyet some of the
Greek islands and to want the AL
bantam shore which is also desired by
Greece. For this reason the intrusion
of the Italians on Greek soil is bitter
ly resented.

HERE'S A NOVEL WAY
TO CUT Living COST
Master Principles of Domestic Science
and Art. Advises Expert.

novel means of cutting the high cost
of living and dressing has been suggested
by Mrs. Elizabeth Y. Trego, of the Wash
ington School of Domestic Science and
Art, located at l415 Chaplin street north
west.
Mrs. Trego's solution is simple. She
advocates the mastery of the principles
of domestic science and art. She points
out that the women of the country are
unable to force down the high cost Of
living and dressing, but, on the other hand,
are able to make the high cost less bur-
densome through mastery of the princi-
Piles of scientific economy.
THE knowledge gained along this line, -
she declared last night, would enable
one to cut the cost both of living and
dressing at least in half and at the same
time be better nOurIshed and better
dressed"
This week at the Washington School Of
Domestic Science and Art classes will be
opened in dietctics, principles of cookery,
marketing. sewing. dressmaking. textiles,
millinery and household chemistry.

HINTS ON CARING FOR

In discussing the care of motor cars
and the things that owners leave undone
Claude Miller, of Miller Brothers, local

"One of the easiest things to take care
of in an automobile and one Of the things
most neglected is the storage battery
Nine-tenths of all starting and lighting
troubles date right back to the storage
battery and nine-tenths of the time it is
not the fault Of the battery at all
Your starting battery must have its
drink of distilled water every ten days
or it is going to get sick on your hands
Only one tool is necessary for the care
of your battery. That is a hydrometer.

and believe me it is something entirely

from anything have ever seen. Not be-

the details of its construction but suf-

The Record Auto Company have about
completed the rearrangement OF their
place. Maynard Baylis was telling me
the last time I was over there that they
have been able to increase greatly the
available floor space. Although they did
a wonderful business last year with the
Saxon, they expect to double it this COM
ing season, besides selling a number OF
Smith Form-Truck attachments, which
are proving very popular.
Harry Mundy is cleaning up on his
Chevrolets right now. In addition to
having a well organized sales and serv-
ice force he has been fortunate in hav-
ing cars to deliver. He saw the hand
writing on the wall some few weeks ago
and hiked up to Tarrytown, n. Y, where
the Eastern factory is located, and per-
suaded the sales department to increase
his allotment of cars for October and
November so that he could take advant-

one final chance today. Every Sunday

Today he plans to get an early start and
stay until dark and then, no matter
what his luck, pass up the sport until
next year.
