fixed separately for each sinking fund.
In 1891 the tax FOR debt service was
Jumped in one rate and the sinking funds
were not specifically described The
former was the better practice, for it
distinctly stated the tax and the object
to which it was TO be applied.
From the foregoing observation I

should say the paragraph conformed

A simple means of turning the ia
bles on the investigative members
Of the reform element who devote
their rubber-heeled taleLts to ap-
pretending those OF the unregener-
ate who deem Mr.. Volstead mis-
taken in his views OF desirable al
coholic content, is revealed upon

of the current week in The Skip
per's Narrow Escape" a new
bonneville comedy. shown for the
first time in the Capital as prin-
cipal supplementary feature OF the

ranged for yesterday and today. II
seems that the Skipper. the W. k.

his cartoons. distilled a concoction
that was particularly efficient as to
kick. When Cynthia Snoop and a
detective found the
Shippers still, whil,. he was en-
deavoring to rush a plumber to re-
pair damage done in the home of
the Sprigginses by the mighty
armed Katrinka, and tasted the re-
suits of his Illicit activities, il
knocked them cold and en-
abled the skipper with the aid Of
Tomboy Taylor, to have the refor-
mers run in for being drunken and
disorderly.
The Shippers Narrow Escape" is
easily the most entertaining of the
bonneville comedies so far re-
leased. 1t presents a story of ad-
mirable continuity. a wide diversity
OF Fox's laughable types and a dra-
matte hber that in no way impairs
its effectiveness as sheer farce.

TOWN AWAKENED
BY FALSE ALARM
Hyattsville Men Secure Guns
When Siren Sounds
F., At Bank.

HYATTsvMLE. Nd, Feb. 90
Hyattsville was all excited the
other morning. when the siren fre
alarm system sounded and the re-
port spread that it was sounding
because of one Of the local banks
was being robbed.
Armed citizens headed by a MEM
ber of the State police force and
Sheriff Garrison, each brandishing q
couple of revolyers apiece. were
forming and getting ready to give
the supposed yeggmen a hot fight
when it was announced that 1t was
false alarm.
1t was explained that the two To-
cal banks have installed q burglar
alarm system connecting both
banks with the fire alarm system in
the Municipal Building, and that
clerk in one of the banks acct
dentaly set of the alarm. In
stantly the alarm was flashed to the
other bank and to the fire alarm
system and the siren screeched out
The clerks in the other bank had
scarcely seized guns and were lock-
ing the bank when the siren
sounded false alarm.
