THREE MONTHS IN JAIL
FOR THEFT OF RAW MEAT.

Louis Miller, who keeps a store
somewhere. in Washington, went to
market and bought a lot OF meat.
He left it in his wagon while
he looked at some groceries. He
did not figure on anyone stealing
raw meat.
But somebody I'D. Willis Conway
was accused of the crime. and ar
rested.
According to Policemen Lee and
Fowler, when Willis carried the
bundle of meat from the wagon he
hired a truck to cart away the
stuff.
There was a lot of sausage, pork
loin, fresh shoulders, and beef-in
all about $50 worth wholesale. No
one dared mention the retail value.
The meat was not recovered The
owner said something about being
paid for the meat by willis-after
the alleged theft-but the court did
not hear it. At least nothing more
was said about IL.
Willis was adjudged guilty and
sent to the jailhouse for three
months.

Wattchmakers Needed.

A shortage of watchmakers exists
in the country, and many OF those
practicing the art are not compe-
tent, according to resolutions adopt
ed at the meeting of the Horologicsl
conference. which met Friday at
the headquarters of the National
Research Council. To promote the
science of timekeeping IL was de-
cided that it was necessary to es-
tablish a system of horologicsl
schools, provide satisfactory means
for the certification of watchmakers,
unite into one national organization
all persons interested in the art and
establish headquarters in Washing

PREVIOUS ACT OF HONESTY
GETS SENTENCE SUSPENDED.

Once upon time when John T.
Betsch worked as valet in a
Washington hotel. he found $40 in
the pocket of a pair OF trousers he
was pressing.
Instead of keeping the money,
throwing the pants away and leav-
ing for parts unknown, John re-
turned the money to the surprised
owner
Since that time he has strayed
from the straight and narrow path.
Booze had nothing to do with it.
Neither did any-woman.
John stole a 5000 Amati fiddle
and took it to Baltimore, Md, to sell
it.
Detective Pat O'Brien caught him
as he was making a dicker to get
rid of the instrument and brought
him back to town to face a larceny
charge.
The prisoner admitted his guilt
and threw himself on the mercy of
the court. That was the proper
thing to do because Judge Hardi-
son was on the bench.
Detective O'Brien related the in
cident about the s17O. Thomas L.
Jones, counsel for John, assured
the court that there would be no
more stealing and the court sus-
pended a ninety-day sentence and
let John go on probation.
