WOMAN GETS coURTTo KEEP
RATHTUB OUT OF PARloR

According to the petition for an in
junction filed by Mrs. A. c. Oden, ten
ant of the premises at 932 c street
southwest, her landlord, Elias Gilman
insisted on putting a new bathtub
and the necessary added equipment in
her front room over her protest. Tho
old bath In the rear OF the house had
been condemned by the District gov.
eminent.
Alleged Persistence on the part Of
the landlord caused Mrs. Oden to APP
peal to Justice Hoehling. who signed
temporary restraining order pro-
hibiting the cluttering up OF the front
room by a bathtub and a lot OF
plumbers. The order does not pro-
hibit the landlord, however. from put
ting the new bathroom where the old
ones is. but he must not enter
Mrs. Oden's front room just now.
Eventually the matter will be finally
adjusted In court.

PRUNES, AND OTHER
THINGS.

We earnestly appeal to Hon.
ROBERT WATSON, president Of
the United States Housing Corpo-
ration, to furnish more prunes to
the girls in the Government dormi-
tories on the Union Station plaza.
According to reports, the lady
manager Of these hotels reduced
the number Of prunes to each girl
at breakfast time from four to
three. Presumably the size Of the
prune was not increased.
There has been piratical prof
iteering in prunes for several
years. There was q time before
prunes became SO high when even
the hardest-hearted boarding house
keeper furnished six or eight
prunes to each boarder for break
fast, trusting thereby to reduce
the quantity Of meats and other
foods consumed. But to see the
United States Government, as a
boarding house keeper, getting
chinchy on prunes is too much.
Personally, prunes are not our
sort of food. We do not believe
bob" WATSON strongly favors
them, either. But even X he does
not, it is his official duty to heed
the cry, "Give US prunes or give US
death" 1t is a Patrick Henry
warning which must not be ig-
nored.
The California prune growers
are not tipping US to tell of the
benefits Of prunes, but when
women cry for prunes we say, give
'em prunes, We do not even know
whether 1t is stylish to use prune
forks or spoons in conveying them
to the mouth. We understand that
the prune seed should never be
taken from the mouth by hand, but
that it should be daintily dropped
by the mouth upon the fork and
then back to the scrap dish.
The health sanitariums all used
to advertise prunes as a great
health food when the prices were
low. Now they're running to
vitamines. Unquestionably the
vitamine idea is very fashionable,
and for that reason we are some
what surprised that the girls in
the Governments boarding house
barracks are not demanding vita
mines.
Confidentially, girls, you should
know that vitamines are very
stylish In the food world, and II
you wish to be up on converse
tional subjects you should get Doc
WILEY to tell you about 'em.
Somebody found 'em in spinach
and lettuce, even in carrots and
tomatoes.
The Princess FATIMA, who be-
lieves in fashion to the extent that
she wears EN- as short as the
shortest, will not be safe in re-
turning to Zuzuland until she fills
her system with vitamines. It is
even rumored that she is going to
have some Of it put up q la Mary
Garden. Then she can spray 1t on
instead Of taking It internally.

Sergeant alarms Rodgers Says
Capitol Police Can Eradicate
Handbooks on Hill.

II handbooks are being conducted
at the Capitol ard bootleggers are
plying their trade under the big
white dome, it is no concern Of the
police department. The Capitol
police will take care of the situa-
ton.
Sergeant-at-Arms Objects.
This is the attitude taken by Ser
geant-at-Arms Rogers of the House
of Representatives. who has made
complaint against the invasion OF the
Capitol precincts by detectives Of the
Washington Police Department.
Tuesday. afternoon Detectives Swee-
ney and Messer, head of Commissioners
Oysters special anti-race gambling
squad, went to the residence Of an al
legged bookmaker and arrested him.
The arrest followed several weeks Of
investigation at the Capitol, and the
House and Senate office buildings.
Detectives Sweeney and Messer said
that they had obtained evidence that
the man arrested was conducting big
handbooking business among clerks
and secretaries to members OF Con-
gress, but they did not arrest him on
the Capitol grounds.
Under the law the Capitol buildings
and grounds are under the complete
jurisdiction of Congressional authori-
ties and the District police possess no
authority to make arrests within these
confines. The right of the District
police to enter the buildings for the
purpose of carrying on criminal in
vestigations has not hitherto been
questioned.
Arouse Official Ire.
The fact that the local detectives
went to the Capitol and spent much
time In making the Investigation
aroused the ire Of the Capitol officials
who look upon the conduct as an in.
Engagement Of their rights and have
made complaint to the District Com
missioners.
But while the Sergeant at Arms
takes exception to the activities OF the
Washington police, Chief Of Capitol
Police Abbott, in a letter to the police
department, commends the work of
Sweeney and Messer, stating that he
wanted to cooperate in Kidding the
Capitol and the office buildings OF
violators Of the law.
