The Value of a Smile.

It is not many words but much iov-

health, happiness and success. Study

Buckwheat, according to the
Agricultural Department, is the
best grain crop for poor, thin soil,
that is, provided the climate is
favorable. It loosens and makes
friable, even the hardest soil and
therefore is a good crop to precede
potatoes. It destroys quack grass
and weeds as it makes such a dense
growth that it keeps the soil com
shaded. It is good honey
plant for bees, and is valuable fol
human food and stock food.

to express the hope that I will receive
the cooperation of everybody concerned

slble TO maintain and operate the safest

ough Presidents, the. increase does not
take effect until 1920.
A lengthy debate developed Oh an
application from the Police Depart
ment for permission to purchase, with
out public bids, automobile tires and
tubes to an amount not to exceed $40
600. OF the amount asked 900 al
ready has been expended. An opinion
from the Corporation Counsel declared
the accounts illegal because the vari-
Gus purchases which. had been made
were submitted at the same time for
payment and tota]led over 81 900, which
is the limit of the purchasing power
of the department without public bids.
On the explanation Of the department
that the purchases had been made to
meet emergencies during transit
strikes, the board authorized the ex-
penditure.
The Commissioner Of Docks made
application for the sum of $4,000 900
for docks and wharfage at Staten
Island and was referred to the Sinking
Fund Commission. This caused a de-
bate, the opposition, led by Alderman
John ]. O'Rourke, of Richmond, de-
n1anding an immediate discussion.
Alderman Kenneally's motion to refer
the matter to the commission won on
d close vote.

An ordinance requiring all alien ap-
plicants' for peddlers' licenses who had
taken out first citizenship papers to
complete their citizenship within six
months of the allotted time. under
penalty Of forfeitng their licenses, re-
ceived unanimous support except from
the Socialists. Alderman Kenneally
introduced the measure. The range of
debate which followed drifted from
Russian Soviets to the late Viscount
Astor, and took in on the way such
devious issues as William C. Bulltt,
Otto Kahn and the steel strike.
Alderman Abraham Beckerman, So
cialist, declared the qualifications for
citizenship in Bolshevik Russia were
preferable to the qualifications for
citizenship in America, but the wrangle
reached its height when Alderman Al

Landlord Reduces Rent
At Point of Revolver
Tenant Gets Years Lease at
His Own Terms Until the
Law Interferes

One New York tenant is enjoying the
luxury of a comfortable apartment at
rent lower than was asked from him in
pre-war days. Moreover, he has a
lease at the lower figure which gives
him the right to continue in the bar
gain home for year.
This tenants manner of persuadinp
the landlord to listen to reason was a
simple one, according to Theodore l..
Waugh. Assistant District Attorney,
who told the story to Justice Ker-
nochan yesterday as a feature of the
John Doe investigation of tenants or
CARNATIONS being made by the District
Attorney.
All the tenant did, according to the
prosecutor,' was to invite the landlord
to his apartment, hold revolver at
his head and threaten him with death
unless he signed lease at reduced
figure. The landlord not only did so,
but has feared to change the rental
since then. But the bargain rate
threatens to continue no longer. The
prosecutor asked that warrant be
issued for the arrest of the tenant. He
probably will be arrested to-day.
