No Help

In olden times I paid out mon
to have my chores and errands
done. 1 paid one man to NOW
the grass and hoe the growing
garden sass; another came. to
prime the pump and take the tin
cans to the dump; I paid a man
to wash my car, and dope the
kitchen roof with tar. While
there were men who worked
for hire I just sat round and
paved my Tyre, with hands as
white as driven snow-no sort
of labor did they know. And l
had lost my appetite, and could
MT get much sleep at night, and
I was fat and short of breath
and looking for an early death.
Then all the fellows went to
scrap and shoe the Prussian off
the map, and none could come
to do a chore or run an errand
any more. I was obliged to
shake my sloth, and, as a toiler,
cut a swath. I MIXED the COW
and groomed the hen, and
moved the lawn, like other men !;
and when my car was out of
whack lay beneath it, on my
back, and tried to remedy the
wreck, while Shiny grease ran
down my neck. l painted fences
green and blue, and found a hun
dred things to do; and now my
health is out of sight, and when
I go to bed at night my slumber
is so calm and deep it shows new
curves in balmy sleep, and
savants come from miles away
to see just how l hit the hay.
Three women cook by day and
night to cater to my appetite.
A lot of old fat boys like me
are learning wrinkles two or
three. WALT MASON.

CAMP MEADE SOLDIER
HELD UP AND Beaten
Horowitz Says Two Soldiers Tried
to Steal $500 and Liberty
Bonds From Him.

CAMP MEADE, Nd, November O.
Private Abraham Horowitz, who had
$500 in cash and several hundred dol
lars in liberty bonds, was held up and
beaten by two soldiers, who. he said,
tried to rob him. Horowitz was res
cued by Lieut.. Gould of the 33d Field
Artillery and later was taken to an
infirmary and thence to the base hos
pital. His assai1ants failed to get his
money.
Horowitz charged them with bat
tering him with beer bottles. The
incident occurred at night just before
taps, and when the two soldiers
named by HorowitZ were arrested
they were already in bed. One of
them, however, is said to have had his
clothing on when arrested and the
other to have arrived in barracks just
ahead of the guard sent to take him
a prisoner.

MAN SHORTAGE AFFECTS
TREE PLANTING IN D. c.
Supt. Lanham Reports Only 1900
Set Out in the Fiscal Year
Ending June 80 Last.

Shortage Of man power largely cur
tailed the work Of the parking and
tree division of the engineering de-
partment of the District government
during the fiscal year closing June
80, 1918, as shown by the report made
to the Commissioners by Supt. Cliff
ford Lanham.
In the matter of tree planting. $500
young trees were put out. nearly one
thousand less than the previous year.
Nearly two thousand trees were re-
moved for one cause or another,
street improvements causing the re-
moval of number of trees. Many of
the city's trees showing decay or
injury were saved by tree surgery.
During the year 46.573 trees were
sprayed to save them from the raw
ages of insects.
No attempt was made to trim trees,
as has been the practice of the serv-
ice, by reason of inability to secure
the necessary help. However, in a
number of instances, on request, lop-
ping off of dangerous limbs and those
Objectionable were trimmed. Forty
two trees were destroyed by illumi-
mating gas, rs by salt water in their
roots, lat by too much moisture, z
girdled, 10 by being filed around and
Is by insects.

BOOTLEG WHISKY
MADE ROW FATAL
CoIored Prisoner, Who Says
He Killed Companion,
Places Blame.

Bootleg whisky played big part In
the killing of Joseph Edelin,, colored,
thirty-eight years old, 63 NJ street
southwest, who was shot to death In
Garfield Park about o'clock sunday
morning, October 6, according to
statement of Lee Brown. colored, th1r-
ty-eight years old, 300 X street south
west, who yesterday afternoon ad-
mitted to Inspector Grant and several
detectives that he did the killing. His
statement was that he shot Edelin, be-
cause he feared the latter was going
to beat him.
Edelin, and Brown were employed at
the plant of a fuel company in South
east Washington, and the night before
the shooting, according to Brown,
they were in an automobile with
another man. He said they bought
supplies of liquor from bootleggers IN
Southwest Washington. consumed
much of the supply and decided they
would visit friends in that section
Went Home for Pistol.
When they decided to go calling. ac-
cording to Browns written statement,
Brown went home and got his pistol,
for the protection of himself and
friends. He returned, met his friends
and proceeded to pay visits to ac-
quaintances in South Washington.
1t was about 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, he stated, when they reached
Garfield Park and occupied seat
near Virginia avenue and I'd street
southeast. Brown said he asked Eide
lin for money owed him for board.
and the latter wanted to know why
he had not asked him for it before.
Edelin's attitude became threatening.
Brown told Inspector Grant, and then
Brown was thrown to the ground.
Brown said he grabbed Edelin, by
the legs as he arose and partly trip
ped him. Edelin, then advanced to-
ward him and he fired one shot Eide
lin continued his advance, Brown de-
clared, and a second shot was fired.
He was unable to explain how Eide
Inns right leg happened to be frac-
tured, unless it was in the fall after
he was shot.
