ed by a giant blind man. who asks
Rainey to lead him aboard the
sealing schooner Karluk. The blind
man tells Rainey he is an old ship
mate of Captain Simms. In the
cabin they find Captain Simms and
man named Carlson. Simms rec
ognizes the blind man, calling him
Sim Lund. Lund accuses Simms Of
abandoning him, blind, on an ice

Mr.. Tremaine, whose chief business

drove into Washington a week ago
in a faithful old fIivver. laden with
tent tin cans. bedding. stove. cup
board. grub. ropes tools. Mrs Ire
maine. Mrs Tremaine's red sweater. a
lot OF miscellaneous odds and ends.
Unlike most royalty he wasn't pre-
ceded by bands, flags, and secretaries.
He was preceded only by the blare
OF his horn and the insignia of his
order. a small empty tin can on a
wire bracket in front of the car. This
can bore the mystic legend "TCT"
Mr.. Tremaine is just returning to
his home in Fredonia after a short
stay in Tampa. Fla. where the Tin
Gamers were born. This is his eighth
round trip between the two points.
He is now stopping at the Tin Can
encampment down in Potomac Park.
Here several acres OF land have been
set aside for camping purposes for
members OF the order. There are now
twenty separate camping parties on
the ground. Roads have been laid out
and two. convenience houses built.
Shower baths are about to be INSTALL
ed.
The order now has little more
than 100. 900 members, most of them
hailing from Eastern States.
A campaign is now under way to
raise the membership to 100000 by
January /. No fees and no dues are
charged Duties OF members are "to
wear the emblem OF the order, to help
a fellow member when in distress on
the road. as much as possible without
injury to yourself OF car: to keep and
leave all camp grounds clean and
sanitary:-to put out all fires and de-
stroy no property"
The emblem of q, order Is A tin
can worn on the Z ont OF the car.
that's all.
The object of the organization is
ito unite fraternally all auto camp
ers. to provide clean and wholesome
entertainment at all campfires, and to
help enforce the rules governing all
camp grounds"

All you have to do to join, is send
your name to the secretary. Mrs. w.
II. Husseiman. COG Broadway. Butler.
Ind, or to the assistant secretary.
Mrs. f. yern Lemon. at Flora. Ind.
The order has succeeded in having
camping sites laid out all along the
eastern coast roads and is rapidly
spreading its territory.
Seventy per cent of the members, IL
is said. are retired business men who
have taken to the open.
The ROYAL Tin Can opener and his
queen expect to leave Washington to-
morrow or the next day, weather per-
hitting, on their way back to
Fredonia. by way of Gettysburg.
Before his elevation to royalty Mr..
Tremaine was a mere member OF the
New York State Legislature and a
leader in county politics. And now
he is doggoned happy man.
II live in the open, eat like
prince, / follow my little tin can
whittier II will. I'm as healthy as
horse; man, I'm right on the top
shelf" he chortles.
Mr.. Tremaine carries a tent. which
is pitched over the top of the auto
mobile and staked to the ground on
the other side about eight feet from
the machine. The back of the front
seat of the car has been cut and
hinged so that. Il let's down, form

Colonel McElroy outlined generally

and Girls Eager
To Win Times Bicycles
Croud Contest Editor

1t looks as if boys and girls who
want $6J bicycles for doing few
hours work for The Washington
Times will have to enter the contest
at the earliest possible moment, be-
cause each and every mail brings
scores of entrants.
The Washington Times will give
away 5000 bicycles between now and
September I to boys and girls who
obtain thirty Ave yearly subscriptions
for this paper. The number of bicy-
c!es is limited to 5000, and boys and
girls who want to enter the contest
sh ould not delay.
As an indication of the interest this
generous contest has aroused. the BIZ
cA Gle Editors desk is not only flooded
with coupons sent in by entrants, but
a number OF boys are already within
al ms reach of their bicycles. One
bright boy came to The Washington
Times office today and announced
rat he already had twenty-seven sub
scriptions and expected to have the
other required eight by nightfall.
TWO IMPORTANT POINTS.
Remember two things in connec-
ton with this contest-there Is no age
limit Whatsoever for participants
(anyone who wishes may enter). and
the thirty-nve yearly subscriptions
must be obtained from persons who
are not now receiving The Washing
ton Times at their homes by Wash
ington Times carriers. In other
words. they must be new subscribers.

TAKOMA GAS
WAR RENEWED

Declaring the gas rate of $1.3S
per thousand cubic feet fixed recently
by the Maryland Public Service Com
mission for consumers living in
Takoma Park, Md. to be excessive,
unfair and unreasonable" the mayor
and town council of Takoma Park
yesterday filed a petition for a re-
hearing.
According to the petition, the COM
missions opinion showed that "the
commission acted under a misappre-
hension of facts" relating to the
operating expenses OF the Washing
ton Gas Light Company of Montgom-
cry county. which serves Takoma
Park gas consumers, and the amount
OF gas which will be sold by the re-
spondent during the current year
Continuing, the petition reads:
THE said order and opinion show
on their face that the commission ig-
nored the inter-company relations be-
tween the respondent company aud
the Washington Gas Light Company
OF the District OF Columbia, and
treated the respondent as a separate
comrany rather than as a subsidiary
selling agency OF the parent COM
pany.
THE said order and opinion show
on their face that the commission ac-
cepted practically all OF the figures,
contentious and estimates submitted
in behalf of the respondent by its paid
expert witness, although the latter
admitted on cross-exaVination thai
he had no personal knowledge re-
garding such data and that a part of
1t was based upon information shown
at the hearing to be incorrect"

Tonight closes practically the nrst
weeks business of the new store Of
NJ. Brooks K Co.. 1f07-110s G street

with shoppers ever since the formal
opening last week.
when big nve-story, modern de-
partment store has grown from
little two-floor. fashioned dwell
ing such as M. Brooks & Co. has.
nobody gets too excited about IL. 1t
is the history OF any successful
merchandise man.
But when a woman, working alone,
accomplishes such result in the
merchandise world that's different.
That's wonderful. And that's what
everybody thought who visited the
new store on the day of it's formal
opening. Mrs. NJ. Brooks, proprietor,
was there, and everybody wanted to
see the woman, herself, as much as
the store. Mrs. Brooks, even though
her social duties are very pressing.
took time off and spent the day In
the store on the opening. She gladly
showed the visitors about the place
and even described the appointments
to them.
The interior of the store Is of solid
mahogany finish, Mrs. Brooks told
them The lighting system is OF the
modern non hadow electric globes.
There is a balcony at the rear and
cosy rest rooms.
The nrst floor is devoted to women's
bIouse.. skirts, hose, gloves and
sweaters, etc. The second floor Is
used for women's and misses suits
set off in solid mahogany glass cases.
The third floor Is considered by many
to be the handsomest dress depart
ment this side Of New York city.
