Careful There, Bill.

Bill Redmond owned a Winchester
repeating rifle.
And, like all other 17-year-old boys,
he was fond of shooting a. birds.
Policeman Roach caug'-t him the
other day in the rear uf - cemetery
with a dead redbird in mis- hand. The
cop had heard the shot and rushed up.
The trouble with Bill was that he
should have started shooting some of
the 5000, ,OOO, 900. coo English sparrows in
town. or else on the Bolsheviki, in
stead of an innocent redbird
The only way we WashingtOnians
can tell that spring is here is by the
redblrds, We cannot tell by the
weather.
Fortunately for other people in the
vicinity. Jim was a good shot. Other
wise some one might get hurt by a
wild bullet.
His offense was not a very seTiors
one, except. of course, in the eyes of
the Audubon Society. Luckily there
was no one from that organization in
court.
Judge Mcmahon thought il was
nothing but a bOyish prank. and
took Jim's personal bond not to do
it any more.

He had intended staying only few
days. He certainly hadn't intendec
staying half a year.
He and another fellow plotted to
rob a rooming house. They carried
out their plans.
Detective Arthur b. Scrivener, tirsr
cousin to Paddock Holmes, was put
or the trail. ..r.
With his magnifying glass, Scriv-
ener trailed the missing things to dear
old Alexandria.
Gaitano was about to dispose of a
nice overcoat and three shirts when
the sleuth stepped in and grabbed
him.

than he. That fellow beat 1t and is
still running.

Caught in the Act.

Last Tuesday morning at half past
one Henry Moy, owner of a laundry
on Eleventh street southeast, heard
someone opening his side window.
Bling laundry 'roun' font door,
squeaked Henry Side window no
place to bling washee dis time night"
No one wanted to bring anything
in. The intruder was identified as
Tom Howard. and his intentions, Hen
ry said, to take something out.
Henry grappled with Tom. The Chi
naman was too weak to put up much
of fight. Tom threw a sweater
over his head and choked him.
Henry bit his finger. Tom set up
such a howl that a woman living
upstairs got excited and scared him
off.
A very much bruised Oriental told
Judge McMafion how it all happened
and identified Tom as the man.
Toms argument was that he was
already in the laundry asleep when
Henry tackled him.
Policeman Mansfield said that Tom
confessed the whole business to him.
Anyhow. Judge Mcmahon told Tom
to furnish $1,000 bond for the grand
jury on the charge of housebreaking.

CHILDREN OF CZECHO- O-SLOVAKIA ARE TUBERCULAR Only One Cow In New Republic For 1000
 People. CONDITIONS AS
 BAD AS BELGIUM Meeting At Lyric Tomor- row To Discuss
 Help.

The startling fact that S2 per cent. of the children in the cities of Prague and I'resShurg, in the republic of CzeChO-SlOvakia are tubercul2r, that there is only one COW for 1000 in habitants in the territory adjacent to those cities and that conditions there today are as bad as they were in Bel gium during the height of the war is the information which comes to the members of the committee in charge of the work of rehabilitating the nation which has proved such a strong bulwark against Bolshevism in Central Europe.
 The committee in charge of the Czecho-SIovok Red Cross work in this city has planned a most inter esting meeting which will be held on Sunday evening at the Lyric theatre at 7:30 at which speakers who have only recently arrived in this country will speak on the conditions existing in Central Europe
 The meeting has been arranged through Lieut.. Bradley of the Ameri- caniza ton Bureau and the speakers will be Lieutenant Peck of the United States army, who was assist ant to Herbert Hoover in the relief work in Czecho-Slovakia Miss Emma Novak. who was secretary to Miss Masaryk, daughter of Prof. Thomas c. Masaryk, president of the republic of CzeChO-Slovakia. Miss Novak rep resents the Red Cross work which is being done to strengthen the hand of the armies which are stemming the red tide of Bolshevism in the new republic.
 Another speaker will be Capt. Gaza Nika of the Intelligence Department of the United States army. Captain NIikl has just returned from France where he served in connection with the peace conference and has much inside information regarding cOndi- tions which exist abroad and which should be of vital interest to every American citizen.
 Another unique and interesting feature of the meeting will be joint singing by the trained choirs of St. Cyril and Methodius Roman Catholic church and of the Slovak Lutheran | Holy Trinity church.
 The meeting will be free to all who desire to attend and 1t is expected that it will be necessary for those who wish to secure seats to be on hand at the theatre promptly at 7:3O- Lieutenant Peck tells a most pa thetic story of the scene which oc- cured during the distribution of American supplies in Prague. A child five years old was shown a slice of bread but had never seen bread and did not know what it was. There are children in the cities which have never even tasted milk so scarce is that necessary article of food for children. l It Is estimated that throughout that whole territory 1t will take at least ten years even with intensive breed ing and extensive importations of cattle to populate the pastures with the same number of cows that existe d there in 1914.

WEST END.

Seldom has a motion picture pro- auction been made that contained a more vigorous interpretation of the physical and mental struggles of youth than are embraced in the pho to-play production of "Once to Every Han" which will be presented at the West End theatre today, matinee and evening.
 Its theme is the terrific battle of a young man against the inherited craving for drink and then his physi- cal combat with his enemies.
 Jack SherriH. the athletic juvenile of the screen, and Mable Withee the youthful star of New York's Winter Garden, and now playing the title role in the New York production of Miss Simplicity" are starred in this photo production.
 The story embraces all the delin- cations of small town characters and then the entrancing yet unusual life of the prize ring.
 The 11th episode of '"The Carter Case" Mutt & Jeff cartoon, Harold Lloyd in "A Jazz Honeymoon" and News Weekly will also be shown.
