Heavens, What a Mess!
Auto Smashes Pie Wagon,

Almost any blacksmith can put
SO worth of repairs on a wagon.
but who Is there that can doctor
s35 worth Of pies? This is a ques-
tion being asked at police head
quarters.
Can you imagine ss5 worth of all
kinds Of pies dumped into a heap
and some chef of note attempting
to put them together again.
The pies met with Misfortune yes
terday morning when an automo-
bile belonging to the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company and operated
by Joseph Cauffniau collided at
the intersection of Twenty-eighth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest with a two-horse pie
wagon of the Connecticut Pie Com
pany, operated by Harry Tat9,
1911 Thirty-fourth street northwest.
Tate was thrown out and his shoul-
der injured. The wagon was dam
aged to the extent of 80 and was
hauled to nearby repair shop,
but the poor pies-say, they're in
dreadful shape.
