HOGS GRUNT;:
FOLKS GROAN.
CITY PUZZLED
Pig Pen Across From School
Brings Loud Protest From
Residents of Section.
pigs is pigs. "

Pigs is pigs"
So say the members Of the Six
teenth Street Citizens Association
who. at a meeting last night, de-
nounced in no uncertain terms the
pig sty where, within a block Of a
public school, a hog and her four pigs
are wallowing in the mud and sun
ming themselves to their hearts con-
tent.
But some good friend Of the rights
Of all pigs in pigdom raised the Ques-
tion today with the Health Depart
ment, and now the officials are up in
the air about ii.
To be sure, the law distinctly says
that "herding, feeding, and keeping
hogs in pens, or otherwise within the
cities Of Washington and George
town, or the more densely populated
suburbs thereof, Is prohibited"
La IL DeuseIy POpuIatedF
But, then, the Health Department
officials aren't sure in their minds as
to the rights given them by the regu-
lations to interfere with the peace,
happiness, and liberty Of said sty of
pigs on Military road, between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth streets north
west.
The question was Immediately
raised: Is that part Of Military road
to be considered a densely populated
section of the city or not?
II 1t is, the hogs must go; IL not,
then they will be permitted TO enjoy
their mud and sun baths daily with
out molestation.
Official SDOesn't Know"
'Are you going to drive the pigs
away?' an official was asked today.
1--WE don't know yet Wen inves-
tigate first"
herding Of pigs within the city lin
it's"
''Yes, it does, but then, pigs. too,
have some rights. We can't decide
the question now"
And there you are.
Meanwhile the citizens, members Of
the Sixteenth Street Association, are
''all het up"
Declared Menace To Health.
"The health OF 12O pupils Of the
Military road school is menaced by
the pigsty across the road" de-
clared Miss N. E. Shorter, principal OF
the school, which is in such uncOm-
Portable proximity to the hogs
stamping ground.
The pigs occupy a pen across the
road from the Schoolhouse. They
have a run Of about 100 feet, and are
gradually making q wallow in a
stream which flows not fifty yards
from the front door Of the school

Anyhow thousands OF Washington
people seem to think So AS a result
they are today thumbing Boyd's new
city directory, just from the press, to
see II their names are in it; to see il
the addresses are correct, and to see
whether they are printed in light
face of black face type.

the directory. that President Wilson
probably looked through such a pub
licatiOn, and got his idea for q

All Nations Here.
In the District of Columbia are 8

That man is not far removed from
