WOODNARDDEN|ES
LAWYERS RIGHT TO
SPEAK FOR DIARIES

Denying the right - of Attorney
Mathew E. -o'Brien to speak for the
dairymen as a whole, DR.. W. c. Wood
ward, Health Officer, issued today a
statement in answer to Mr.. O'Brien's
recent criticism OF the Health Depart
ment in regard to the enforcement
of the laws governing the milk sup
ply.
"Mr. O'Brien has no right to speak
for the dairymen as q whole who
produce and sell milk in and for the
District" he said. while I have no
means Of knowing just whom Mr..
o'Brien represents. and Mr.. o'Brien
apparently does not care to disclose
that information, doubt II his clients
number one In thirty OF the persons
engaged in the milk business.
The seizure and condemnation Of
milk on the basis of warrants Issued
by the Supreme Court OF the District
OF Columbia, facetiously proposed by
Mr.. OBrien, is impraeticable in so far
as relates to nlthy and decomposed
milk unless the milk Is so palpably
dirty or sour as to be unstable. No
warrant for the seizure OF milk could
be obtained from the court except
upon the basis of evidence showing
Its filthy and decomposed character.

COUNT AUTOS TO SHOW
new BRIDGE NEEDED

In order to secure data which will
assist in securing a new bridge to
replace the present Pennsylvania ave
nue. structure across the Eastern
Branch, a special committee Of the
RandIe Highlands Citizens Associa-
ton, headed by Robert F. Bradbury,
last night made a correct count OF
the number OF automobiles and We
hicles crossing this bridge, beginning
at s:15 and continuing for ninety min
utes.
During this period more than 300
vehicles crossed the bridge. and the
committee believes that this traffic
argues well for an adequate struc-
ture to replace the present one, which
is entirely too narrow. The floor OF
the bridge is in need OF repair.
Large banners will be placed at
either end of the bridge asking per
sons who ride across TO write the
authorities for a new bridge.

To Washington Merchants

The SUNDAY EVENING llMES inter-
ests you. All the energy of the Times organ
ization and its staff will endeavor to make
the SUNDAY EVENING TIMES profitable
to you.
Here is the fundamental idea for which
we request the attention of the keen mer-
chant
The last word is the best word. and the
word remembered.
The SUNDAY EVENING TIMES has
large circulation, it goes to the homes in the
evening. 1t is read by the women who do the
shopping.
And the SUNDAY EVENING. TIMES
gives to the women of Washington the latest
store news.
What is read on Saturday, what is read on
Sunday morning, is not fresh in the mind
that has been reading about bargains on Sum
day evening.
What you read before you go to sleep you
remember next morning.
Merchants Of Washington with the last
word in the SUNDAY EVENING TIMES
before Mondays shopping, will build up
business.
They will not only reach the women of
Washington in their homes. but they will
reach the strangers in the hotels, the newly
arrived visitors on the street.
Washington, the great City, is also the
City of great future opportunity.
The main business office of the United
States is going to contain the business Offices
of many of most Of the successful bust
ness men of the United States.
And the SUNDAY EVENING TIMES is
going to supply to those merchants facilities
that no Sunday morning newspaper possibly
can supply.
Thirty years ago no merchant In New
York thought of advertising seriously in any
evening newspaper
This writer then said to the merchants of
New York through the Evening Sun, of
which he was the editor: -
You advertise In the daily morning news
papers now. Eventually the daily evening
newspapers will be your great medium.
The evening newspaper Is taken home.
The women read it. They will see your adj
vertisement just before they go to bed, and
remember it in the morning You will adj
vertise in the evening daily newspapers
eventually.
And the merchants of New York and all
the rest of the country did eventually rec
ognize the daily evening newspaper as their
best medium.
What we said thirty years ago about the
daily evening newspaper we say now about
the SUNDAY EVENING TIMES.
The merchants eventually and many of
them Immediately will realize that to sell
goods on Monday morning, you want to have
the ear of the customer the last thing on
Sunday evening"
And that, Sunday Evening reader, only
The Washington Evening Times can give

ment charged the well-known Jew
ish millionaire with treason. 1t was
said his business was against the
interests Of the Russian Govern
ment. In spite of the fact that the
charges against Rubenstein were
openly supported in the Duma by
such a liberal person as Milyukov,
and the additional fact that the
banker was personally acquainted
with several members of the gov
eminent who we're under suspicion,
the Jews still believed him innocent,
regarding him as victim of anti
Semitism.
1t now appears that the faith of
the Jews in Rubenstein was we'll
founded, for he has been completely
exonerated, and stands before. all
the world an innocent man.
