The Litter Lifted.
ADVICE IS GIVEN
ON CHOICE OF FOODS

Since protein is one of the most I'M
portant food elements which the body
needs and in most forms is expensive,
house wives should take particular
care in the selection of foods rich in
protein in order that they may pro-
vide this substance in their diet eco
nomicaIIy, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
principles underlying the choice OF
such foods are discussed in Farmers
Bulletin S24, Foods Rich in Protein
recently published by the department
Protein, the bulletin points out, is the
only form in which the very import
ant element nitrogen is furnished 10
the human body. The substance is
absolutely necessary for the building
and repair Of body tissues.
The best-known foods rich in protein
include meats, fish, eggs, milk, cheese,
legumes, nuts, etc. The protelns Oh
the different foods vary somewhat
in character. 1t does not make mucn
difference from which materials olGer
persons get their supply OF protein
though a variety of kinds usually is
considered desirable. In the case OF
children, however, milk is the very
hest source of protein.

UNUSUAL ANSWER
FILED in DIVORCE
Man Claims His Marriage Is Illegal.
Quotes Law in the Case.

For the third time this year. a man
has quoted the law which prohibits
the remarrying of divorced persons
when they have been the guilty par
ties in suits for absolute divorce.
William Stokes Sammons, a window
shade manufacturer, Of this city, who
is being sued for absolute divorce by
Agnes E. Sammons, claims in his an
swer to the suit, filed yesterday in the
District Supreme Court, that his mar
riage to Mrs. Sammons Of October H.
1916, is illegel. because he had been
sued for absolute divorce by a former
wife, she winning the suit, therefore
he was not allowed under the law TO
remarry.
Consequently his answer is cross
bill. and he asks dismissal of his
wife's suit on those grounds. This is
the second time Mrs. Sammons has
brought her marital trouble into
court. Not so long ago she filed suit
for absolute divorce naming the same
correspondent, and in her petition the
last time states that she had that
case dismissed on her husbands prom
ise to reform. He did not keep his
promise. she AYERS, and she appeals to
the courts a second time.

The committee on the selection Of
the horse journeyed down to Nokes-
vile, Va, where District Surveyor
Melvin c. Hazen has his farm. but
none Of the equines is up to the high
standard which is required for an
army horse.
According to authorities on the sub
ject, he must be long-winded and clean
limbed, fearless and a fighter. and
withal docile and Intelligent horse.

Maj. Pullman yesterday. land we will
get the horse. The animal may be in
Washington or in Virginia, but the
horse which will be selected will be an
animal which Maj. Newman will have
a right to feel proud Of"

FRIDAY NO LONGER
JINX To WEDDINGS
New Records Established at the
Marriage License Counter.


People used to be suspicious of
Friday" said Col. w. A. Knoll, pre-
siding genius at the marriage license
counter, but now some Of them won't
even known IL is Friday" The colonel
said a bookful 1t hasn't been 50
very long ago when a mere handful
of couples used to stray iEto the
courthouse and nevously ask for
bliss permit" Now they cone
around on Friday like that day was
their birthday, and they dom. even
stop II 1t happens to be the 18th.
sometimes Friday is bigger day
than Monday, Tuesday or any other
day of the week
Col. Kroll himself asked what day
Of the week 1t was and young man
standing in front OF the counter wait
ing for a license, said, II believe it's
Friday, because l had fish for din
ner" That is the oniy way some
folks can tell the days of the week;
cabbage on Monday and fish on Fri
day. Finger crossing, the ancient
practice. and also rat-er modern, has
also ceased to be practiced. You rare
ly ever see a man cross his fingers
when he applies for license on Fri
day. Two weeks ago twenty-one
couples braved the Friday Jinx ana
weis srliced. The next Friday nine
tean more couples did -he same thirg.
Col. Kroll issued eighteen yesterday,
and when that is placed against the
six or seven of several months ago,
it is a big days work for Friday.
Times were when Col. Kroll could
catch up with his court indexes on
Friday, but now its a case of hustle,
same as any other day. Prejudice, sus-
picion, superstition and such like have
completely given away before latter
day men and women, and when they
get a notion to get married, 1t will
take more than Friday, even the
18th, to stop them, and as Col.
Kroll says: 1T is the same spirit OF
go ahead. no matter what's in the
way, that will open the eyes of GER

embark the soldier boys from France

Even Fun's Gone Up.
"Out at Fifteenth and II streets
northeast the other night a lady poked
her head out of the window and asked
Policeman Doolin to take the noise
away from her front door. Doolin
looked around and saw Leo Brown and
Harry Cottifel having some trouble.
Investigation showed that Leo made
fun of Cottifel and was about to rub
IL in by hitting him.
Before Doolin could stop him he
landed one on CottifePs chin and the
man almost went to dreamland. Doo-
lii arrested Leo and had a picnic get

Not BiIPs Feet.
The inability of Bill Blacburn to
put his feet in his pocket got him
in trouble. Bill works in the Center
Market at a meat stand. A customer
went behind the counter to get SOM
meat he had left there and Bill
reprimanded him. Coming out from
behind the counter the man trod on
Bills feet. He growled at this and
was sternly ordered to put his neither
extremeties in the same pocket with
his car tickets.
"Ah CANT don no such thing" said
Bill and he slammed at the man, who
was several sizes smaller than Bill
and consequently did not hit back.
Instead he got a warrant for Bill
and the court informed him that he
must part with S, which he had
fortunately, being in the meat busi-
ness.
Bill, He Was n SoIjer Boy.
Roy F. Ware and another soldier
friend visited Glen Echo the other
night, to get one more look at the
bright lights and hear the brass band.
Soon they will be listening to the howl
of shrapnel and the doleful music of
the Busy Bertha's' somewhere in
France" They got awful hungry
after a bit and bought some hot Dog
sandwiches. Roy stood with a sand
wich in one hand and his wallet Iii
the other.
The sandwich tasted SO good thar
he lost all feeling in the other hand.
Bill Johnson another soldier was
standing near and seeing Roy's pre-
dicament, lifted" the wallet and $2S
Roy's partner saw the trick and fol-
lowed the man away. When they got
back they called a District cop ana
Bill was nabbed. Judge Pugh dis
approved of this cute little trick and
fined Bill $50 which he paid. Roy got
his money and said he was going
to tie his wallet TO him with rope.
