It is rather embarrassing TO have
someone bawl you cut on a crowded
street car. II Annie Harris did have
q mans shoes on, IT was her busi-
ness and none of Ethel shipley's.
Ethel ought TO have had better
sense than to make remarks about
folks who are bigger than she is.
The pair-not shoes-got of the car.
Annie made a dive for Ethel and
waiioped her all over the road It
took two big strong men to separate
the pair.
Ethel got a warrant
The witnesses all said that she
started the affair by slandering An
ME. And Annie, with her blood boil
ing under these insults. refused TO
be too proud 70 fight
But just the same the court fined
Annie 80 She should have had Ethel
arrested instead Of hitting her.

Washingtonians having their jags in

This cross-shipment Of offenders
doesn't do either city any good. the
court said.
And SO Annie and Mary not only
found out that our cops are as awake
as those Of Baltimore, but they were
fined SIS each in the bargain.

Once when Toby came home from
work, he saw Eva in his room with

The other day when he came

talked to the landlady. Therefore
