PRIZE WINNING ESSAY

Written by Lucille Bush, aged Ia
years. The second prize was won by
John Samuels, aged IL years. The
prize was a German helmet.
Why Ny Mother Should Buy a Vic
tory Bond.
The first reason why my mother
should buy Victory Bond and per-
haps the greatest reason, is, that no
one should ever break promise.
AS a nation, we promised those at
the head of our government that we
would pay any bills they laid before
us. Money was nothing then, when
the lives of our men and boys were
being sacrificed daily. We wanted
them back. What was our gold in
comparison? The second reason is
one that hardly needs to be advance
ed-that it is practically the best
paying investment one could make.
The third reason is one that will
open the pocket books of the most
hardhearted. For the families of
those who "sleep in Flanders fields"
for those whose eyes are out, whose
lungs are withered, or whose minds
are blanks, the WARMTH all its
horrors-will never be over. How
little it is WE can do for THEM.
Oh! won't you help? They have
GIVEN so much. Can't you just
LEND a little?
Why My Father Should Buy a VIC
tory Bond
A master hand has drawn for you
the picture of your returning armies.
You have been told how, in the
pomp and circumstance of war,
they came back to you, marching
with proud and victorious tread,
reading their glory in nations
eyes. Now father, American citi-
zen, it is your duty to finish the job.
Subscribe to the Victory Loan that
these men in khaki made possible.
Not only support your government
but prove to your countrymen,
YOUR BROTHERS, and your own
son that their labor, sacrifice, and
success are appreciated and were
not carried on for naught. Finish
the job and clear the way for a
Golden Age-peace, prosperity and
advancement. Do not be so disloyal
and ignorant as to stumble on the
home stretch.
Today, opportunity knocks at the
door of the United States. What
is your answer American citizen?

All you have to do to make a
man think you are smart is to make
him think he is smart.

find your friends in Heaven, but to
find yourself there.

GARDINER ASSA|LS
TREATMENT OF COP

Every policeman in the District was
interested today in the dissenting
opinion of Commissioner W. Gwynn
Gardiner. filed yesterday. in tho case
of Policeman George Atchison, charged
with having been Intoxicated while
on duty, and dismissed from this force
by the police trial broad with the con-
sent Of Commissioners Kutz and
Brownlow.
The Commissioner assailed the
methods of the trial board and charged
Commissioner Gardiner pointed oat
that there was great doubt as TO the
guilt of the accused mar. and that IL
was his belief no man was convicted
until the charge against him lad been
proven beyond doubt.
That Commissioner Gardiner strong
ly opposes the present methods of the
trial board is evident from mis- dis
senting opinion.
IF after nine years of service as a
member Of the Metropolitan Police
Department, with a good record, an
officer Is to be accused, tried, con-
'icted, and sentenced to dismissal,
and this action approved by the Dis
trict Commissioners upon SUCH a rec
ord Commissioner Gardiner asserted.
after reviewing the testimony, then
certainly no member of the police
force of the District would have any
crance of acquitting himself of any
charge that was preferred against
him."
"He might just as well when ac-
cused turn over his paraphernalia and
give up all rights since the result Il
the end will amount to the same as
far as it affects his rights"
e During the trial several superior
officers made charges against Police
man Atchison. 1t was asserted that
he was on duty while under the in
fuence of liquor. The lieutenant IN
charge said his appearance did no.
look normal"
Before the trial came to an end
Policeman Atchison offered to prove
to the board he had not been drink
ing. Atchison said he had bee,
working on another job all day and
when he reported for work at mid
night. was all tired out and sleepy.
He said he could take members OF
the board to his employer who would
prove that he had not taken a drink
all day. Commiss ioner Gardiner
opinion said he was not given an on
portunity.

c. v. j. FRESHMEN
land TUG-OE WAR

Out in force and attired for the
fray, the freshmen of George Wash
ington University stood on the lots
at Twenty-second and b streets north
west last night and hurled derisive
remarks and challenges at invisible
sophomores. The annual tug-of-war
was scheduled.
The creation of such a rumpus is
mighty apt to attract some one. and
finally out of the gloom loomed the
slender contours OF Ave second-year
men, defiantly determined to accept
the def. Despite the fact that they
had "a date" with the freshmen, the
sophomores' apprehension concerning
the BOBBY prize. that is, a chilly
stream of water from a fire hose, evil
IDENTIFY gave them rolc feet, so the
quintet resolved to o1er themselves
on the class altar.
Five husky freshmen on one end
and five slender sophomores at the
other extremity of the hemp, tugged
and pulled and wrestled and puffed
and strained until the martyrs of the
sophomore class finally received a
chilling stream Of H2O from head to
foot.
A preliminary bout was staged
when, while the freshmen were trying
to round up a quorum OF sophomores.
the tug-of-war teams of Phi Sigma
Kappa and Kappa Alpha wrestled for
half hour like two hens with a
worm, with the result that Phi Sigma
was finally dragged over the line
