Mr.. Bean Is So Popular
In Camps, Food Office
Win Let Him Be Canned

Mr.. Baked Bean was reelected
chief OF the food staples yesterday
by an overwhelming majority. his
popularity carrying his running
partner. Mr.. Bacon, into ONCE
with him.
The announcement of the COM
plete returns was made by the
Food Administrations late last
night when II was announced that
Cornmeal, Potato Flour and others
who sought leadership under. the
guise of war necessity had failed
to poll their predicted vote in
New England and the army camps.
As a result. Food Administrator
Hoover ordered that enough tin
plate be set aside for the use of
Mr.. Bean for the next three
months.
Tabulated returns show that the
feeding of German prisoners with
United States army rations has
beaned the army's food supply
plans owing to the recent great
influx of Fritzes.

ODD TALES OF
WAR RENTERS
How Festive Night Owl
Who Scared Girl Ten
ants Was Ousted.

Life's seamy side comes before
the authorities in charge of housing
war workers. Extreme dificulty Is
often experienced in getting at the
real truth in the curious and COM
plex situations which reach ofncial
hands.
One apartment house boasted q
friend of old John Barleycorn on
the top floor. Each night the gem
tleman returned to his apartment
not quite himself The other three
apartments were all Inhabited by
girls who were in the last stages
of fright when the man chased them
into their respective apartments.
The landlady tried locking the
man out. He walked along SIX
inch ledge and climbed in his win
dow to resume his nightly occupa-
tion of frightening the girls. Only
when the doors and windows were
locked and his furniture put into
the hall did he honor his eviction.
notice.
Two days residence in one
war workers rooming house was
charged to a little newcomer at
$3.50. This charge. worthy of one
of Washington's best hotels, was
found on investigation to be padded
with such items as BLANKETS
thrown out of the window"
Charges Hit Back.
In another case. girl who roomed
with three other girls preferred grave
charges against them. These charges
proved boomerang. for when the
case was investigated 1t was learned
that the lady did not always make
her roommates happy with her choice
OF friends or conversational topics.
A naval officer who rushed In
where angels fear to tread was re-
corded. The man came up in a taxi
cab from the feet. asked the driver
to take him to some vacant apart
ment. and contracted to pay $50 for
two rooms ON the second floor of a
house in an inexpensive part of town.
When he learned that the landau
herself paid but SIS for the WI 0
house he was rather sick OF his b.
gain and something resembling a
riot appears to have occurred.
Said She Was q SPY.
The lady, according to the officers
description, was a German spy mas
querading as a patriot. She had torn
a flag to pieces and otherwise con-
Quoted herself most unpatriotically.
The little landiady, on the other
hand. proved that she was the presi-
dent OF a Red Cross auxiliary and
had taken the flag down from her
house because it was worn and rain
beaten to tatters.
Somewhere between the two the
truth probably lies.
Where housing facilities permit In
slant removal of disagreeIng parties
all is smooth sailing for the authori-
ties. but such course is often i'm
possible because of the lack of an
adequate list of rooms.

GROCER DEFIES
WILSON IN SIGN
W. B. Krantz Posts Notice
Calling Food Officer
J Autocrat.

Defying Clarence r. Wilson, Fed
eral Food Administrator for the
District, w. B. Krantz. proprietor
of the Mendoza Market at 1900
Wyoming avenue northwest. yes
terday posted q sign in front OF his
store. reading thus:
Notice.: This store will be run as
usual regardless OF the Gross In
justice done us by that autocrat
Wilson of the Food Administration"
The appearance of the sign was
reported to the administration by q
woman living opposite the store.
Immediately two inspectors were
sent out to bring the Objectionable
placard back to the office.. while
they were on their mission. small
boy on roller skates rode proudly up
to the office of the Administration
carrying the sign, which was writ
ten in heavy crayon on a piece of
pasteboard about two by three Ieet.
When the two inspectors reached
the store, Krantz admitted that he
had put the sign up and reiterated
his decision to fight the unfair or
der which had been issued against
him.
The order was issued against
Krantz when he persisted in dis
obeying the regulations of the ad-
ministration. 1t is the second time
that he has been punished In the
same way, for similar offenses. Ac-
cording to officials, ever since the
organization of the administration
krantz has done everything in his
k.a L..
has been constantly in trouble with
the authorities.
Continued Despite Warning.
krantz had been warned by the ad !.
mlnistration that unless he desfsted
from the unfair practices which he
was charged with employing in his
business he would be prosecuted. Still
he continued. it is alleged, to sell food
at prices In excess of the fair price
list. also to sell wheat flour without
the proper substitutes. and the second
order was issued against him.
Rrantz is believed to have said yes
terday that he could buy supplies and
sell them despite the order He is also
stated to have said that the Food Ad-
ministrator was prosecuting, not pros
ecuting. him.
Officials of the Food Administration
were confident last. night that patrio-
tic housewives would not deal with the
troublesome grocer. They announced
that especial care would be taken to
see that the unfair order was rigidly
enforced. They stated that they were
confident that no wholesalers would
transact business with Krantz and
that in a short time he would be
forced out of business.
