HARD HIT BY COURT
IN H6RNING CASE

4 pawrbroler may not do business
In the District of Columbia by way
Of the Highway bridge.
This is the substance OF a decision
bv Justice Van Orsdel, OF the Court
Of Appeals. in reversing the ACTON OF
Judge Nullowny, OF the Police Court
who had dismissed a complaint agalnst
George D. Horning. The Distrlct
authorities have tried for years 10
secure a ruling from the Court OF
Appeals on this question, but the ac-
quittal OF Mr.. Horning in Police Court
defeated their aims for the time be
ing. The case is remanded ior triaI
IN the Police Court.
Justice Van Orsdel says IN his
opinion that HorninE conducted
pownbrokeraEe business at Nlnth anu
ID streets before the passage or lhe
loan shark" act OF February 4, 1910
The court declared the method ADOPT
ed by Horning an "evasion OF the law
amounting to nothing less than an at
tempt to continue the pawaprokeraBe
business at the original Washington
office unhampered by the IetIeEs Va
The local license"
The court declared that through the
branch office conducted under color OF
Virginia license at the south end OF
the Highway bridge, "the defendant
seeks to escape the penalties of the
law and continue TO conduct an un-
lawful business in the District OF Co
Iumbia. The Virginia branch was
opened for this purpose not throuEa
a desire to establish a legitimate bust
ness, in that State, but to enable De
fendant to conduct a prohibited busi-
ness here"

ARGENTINA NOT TO INTERFERE.
Will Do Nothing in Regard to Mexican
Purchases of Grain There.

BCENOS AIRES, Feb. 25.-The Ar
gentine foreign office says positively
that the government will not intervene
in the cereal operations of Mexican del
cgates here, saying that, as the embargo
has been lifted, anyone can buy and
ship wheat if he has shipping facilities.
1t is believed that the Mexican dele
gates intend buying much more than 40, :
600 tons, the amount they were report ed
to have bought, but without the assist
ance of their government.
1t was announced on Feb. 20 in a
despatch from FL Paso, Texas, that be
tween 10000 and 10000 tons of wheat
and flour had been purchased in Argen-
tina and Chile for distribution in Mex
leo. y Washington despatch of the same
date said that any attempt by Argentina
to dispose of a considerable quantity of
wheat other than to the allied countries
probably would meet with opposition by
the United States and her co-belliger-
cntS.

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
It's An Old Story and Was Told 1000
Years Ago.

A wife g letter 1000 years old was
unearthed recently in the ruins of the
Serapoum, the temple of Memphis, the
great city of ancient Egypt. The let
ter was written by Isias to her hus-
band Hephaestion, who had deserted
her. There were two letters, in fay,
the first bearing q date equivalent to
July "a, lS6 B. G. In them the wife
reproaches her husband of neglect of
his family, and, what is particularly
interesting at the present time, She
complains of the high cost of living.
Here are some extracts from the first
letter: ''lsias to Hephaestion, her hus-
band. Greetings-If YOU are well and
other things are turning ont with YOU
according to your wishes it would be
as ] perpetually pray the gods | nv
self am III good health, and the child
and all III the house make mention of
YOU continually. When I received YOUR
letter from Horus, in which Won ex-
planned that you were in retreat in the
Serapoum at Memphis, | immediately
gave thanks to the gods that you were
well. But that you do not return dis.
tresses me, for having piloted myself
and your child through such a crisis
and having come to the last extremity
because of the high cost of corn, and
thinking that your return would brine
me relief, you have never even thought
of returning or spared a look for my
helpless state. New York World.

department. The above figures are only
of applications that have been actually
received and granted.
The amount of government insurance
in force IS more than three times as
much as the total ordinary life insurance
in force with any life insurance com
pany in the world.
The splendid result which gives to
more than million Of the soldiers and
sailors of our country the benefits Of
this insurance, which Secretary MeAdoo
has justly described as the most lust and
humane provision ever made by any
government for its fighting men, is due
TO the quick appreciation by the bene-
hclarles of the value of the insurance
and the invaluable aid periodically
given TO the war risk insurance bureau
of the treasury by the press of the
country, the officers of the army and
navy, and many Of the individual sol
dlers and sailors, to which must be add
ed the earnest and efficient work of of
hcerS and agents of the insurance com
panles, fraternal beneficiary associa
tons, and many patriotic organizations
The campaign, which has for its pur-
pose the insurance of each and every
person entitled to insurance under the
law, will be continued The time within
which insurance may be applied for has
been extended by general resolution OF
congress, approved by the President, I'M
til April u, 1918.
