Mary discovered that her fshball had
never even smelled a FISH. 1t was
all potatoes, she said.
Hey. GUS" she hollered, 'whar an,

"Swimmin' around In Il some

That was as far as he got. He lost
consciousness. Mary had heaved a
glass at him. Ella walked over 10
the PROSTATE Gus and put her foot
in his face.
The boss ran out and got a cop.
This cop got another cop. He knew
what was up and whom he had TO
handle. Another cop came. Then an
other.
These four cops put the two women
into a patrol wagon after a hard
tussel. Their clothes were torn.
Mary and Ella pleaded self-defense.
Poor Gus denied 1t. And SO as a fit-

Sans boarding houses" is the slogan
of the room and board bureau OF the
Washington Chamber OF Commerce.
which is starting on the second day
of its existence today.
Washington has not sufficient mod
estly priced accommodations to pro-
vide for the great number of clerks
necessary to I'LL the war emergency
needs of the government departments.
After receiving several requests from
governmental departments. and war
emergency bureaus, President A. Left
wich Sinclair, Of the Chamber OF
Commerce. has put the stamp of ap-
proval on a room and board registra-
ton bureau" for Washingtonians with
rooms and tables ready for the ac-
commodation OF war workers of the
Capital
Requests c. of c. Aid.
Requesting the aid OF the Chamber
of Commerce in a letter, President j.
A. McIlhenny. of the Civil Service
Commission, states that a large
number OF appointments are being
made in Washington of young men
and young women who come from
distant parts of the country" THE
salaries continues Mr.. McIlhenny.
"are meager in many cases, and much
difficulty Is experienced by these
strangers in securing accommodations
within their means.
THE large percentage OF declina-
tions of appointments is no doubt
partly due to this condition. 1t has
been suggested that real aid could be
afforded to these young persons II. in
making the police census. a list OF
suitable boarding and rooming houses
could be complied. Such a list could
be maintained at some central Race
agreed upon, like the Chamber OF
Commerce. Department of Labor. Civil
Service Commission. Y. N. c. A. and
y. w. c. A"
AS a result OF the letter, President
Sinclair has written Mai. Pullman
asking for his cooperation. The crea-
ton OF the registration bureau for
willing 'ashingtonians is the first
definite step. Secretary Thomas Grant
is in direct control OF the bureau.

LAUDS POLICY
OF PRESIDENT
TOWARD Mexico
c. A. Douglas, Carranza S
Attorney, Speaks Before
Banking Institute.

High praise for the course pursued
by President Wilson in dealing with
the Mexican situation from the be-
ginning OF his administration was
voiced by Charles A. Douglas, legal ad-
wiser OF Gen. Carranza in Washing
ton, last night at the first meeting Of
the Washington Chapter OF the A!iCrl-
can Banking Institute.
Mr.. Douglas reviewed briefly the
history OF Mexico from the time OF
Cortez to the present day. He told OF
the difficulties under which the great
mass of the people existed. and de-
clared the need of agrarian and other
reforms.
"The course pursued by President
Woodrow Wilson," he said, has done
wonders to remove the feeling of dis
trust which the large majority OF the
McXicans felt towards the United
States since the war between the two
countries.
Mexico Not Pro-Gcrmnn.
1.-THE sentiment OF the Mexican peo-
pie is not pro-German, as you some
! times hear. More and more every day
the Mexicans are coming to feel that
the United States is not going to
sweep down upon them and take their
land, and the change has been due to
the determination OF Woodrow Wilson
to allow Mexico to work out her own
salvation
Milton Harrison. secretary OF the
Savings Banks section of the Ameri-
can Banking Institute, preceded Mr.
Douglas. Mr.. Harrison has been in
Washington for the past two weeks
al Ia. L., I,a -NrLr ,f a
Department under Frank A. Wander
lip, of New York, in putting into ef-
feet the new savings laws.
The need of the young men of the
banking institutions of the country to
ahead of them and tha necessity of
the members OF the Washington
branch OF applying themselves TO the
courses provided for them were EN-
phasized by Mr.. Harrison.
n. P. Nelson won first prize of
SIS given by the organization to stu
dents who finished the course provid-
ed with the highest percentage. Mr..
Nelson stood first with a percent OF
ninety-six. r. G. Hand took second
prize of SIS with a mark OF ninety
/ four and j. z. Tyler stood third with
prize OF SO. Nearly all OF the eight
cen members OF the class passed their
! final examinations.
Roy l.. Neuhauser. president OF the
Washington branch, presided at the
meeting last night. Announcement
was made of new courses to be in
stituted. Charles a. Douglas, on Mon
day night, November 10, will deliver
the second of his lectures upon Mex
leo. taking up the present economic
and commercial and financial condi-
tions in that country. Courses will be
started in elementary banking, COM
mercial law and negotiable instru
ments. Post graduate courses will be
begun in accountancy, credits. ac-
Ceptances. foreign exchange. govern
nent finance, taxation and interest
, and French public speaking.
