.H0RSE-DRAWN VEHICLES
TO BEAR METAL TAGS
Old Police Regulation, Once Held
to Be Void, Hereafter Will
Be Enforced Here.

Strict enforcement of the police
regulation requiring all horse-drawn
vehicles to be equipped with metal
tags will begin Wednesday morning.
Several years ago Police Court
judge held the regulation void. Since
that time the police have made no
effort to enforce it.
There was no appeal to a higher
court from that decision. 1t is the
opinion of the Commissioners that the
regulation is perfectly legal and
should be enforced. The metal tags
cost so cents each and are obtainable
at the Office of the permit clerk in
the District building.
Maj. Pullman this morning issued
an order to the police force directing
the enforcement of the regulation, and
provided each policeman with copy
of the law, which reads:
Every horse-drawn vehicle when
used for business purposes shall have
affixed to the right side thereof, so as
to be plainly visible for a distance of
at least twenty feet,-a metal tag with
numbers thereon at least three inches
in height and one-half inch in width.
to be issued by the permit clerk of the
DlStr1ct OF Columbia, Sucn tags ana
numbers to be issued serially upon
applica ton by the owners of such We
hicles; all such tags, whether issued
prior to the PRONUNCIATION of this
order or thereafter, shall be affixed
to the vehicle in such position and
kept in such condition so that the
numbers thereon shall be readily legi-
BILE for a distance of at least twenty
feet; and for such permit and tag the
said permit clerk shall charge a fee
of so cents to cover the cost thereof.
Any person using any such vehicle
without such tag or with tag which
does not conform to the provisions of
this section shall be liable to the PEN
atty imposed by this article"

last night.
Chaplain McCrea was with the

Within nine months after the Ma
tional Guard was drafted into the
federal service. 1,513 of it's officers
had been eliminated, said Gen. Hea-
vey These included one major gen.
eral. sixteen brigadiers and forty
two colonies.
Causes of the elimination of the Of

511; designations, 64S, and action of
efficiency boards, 352. Thirty officers
were dismissed by sentence of courts
martial, and two are carried on the
rolls as deserters. The large number
of officers dropped can be satisfac-
torily explained, Gen. Heavey said. by
the fact that only a small portion
had had any military training. while
substantial proportion lacked the
necessary basic education and ply
steal qualifications.
The aggregate strength of the Ma
tional Guard drafted into federal
service is given as 1900 officers and
367.223 enlisted men.
..In Justice to the organization" the
report declared. attention is called
to the fact that eighteen divisions,
composed almost entirely Of National
Guard troops, were furnished in the

: Jump in Cranberry Prices.

Unless cranberries are checked in
their skyward climb they will be abb
sent from many Christmas dinners.
Cranberries always have furnished a
popular holiday dish, and at the pres
ent high prices housewives will be
fortunate who can buy their holiday
supply at anything resembling a rea-
sonable price. During anksgiving
week they were only IS and Is cents
a quart. But these prices have since
jumped to practically double those
amounts.
Nearby farmers have not been
bringing any great amount of vege-
tables to the local market. 1t is un-
derstood that they have none to dis
pose of. Therefore. light dealing in
vegetables this week. However, there
is a good supply of vegetables from
distant points. but local dealers said
today that the public showed a de-
cided lack of interest, which has re-
suited in poor demand and a slight
