All James did was to screw UP
his face and let Mary have a mean
one right in the left sye. All she
did was to yell and run out for a
cop
All the cop did was to take James
in hand and make him put up SIS
collateral.
And all the court did was take
this S25 away from him completely
by fining him this much.

msnd w. Scott. pointing to Lille

But what itsshe goes to jail on
this other charge of larceny" ask ed
the court. What viii she do then? %
So there you are. Here was a
woman With one charge OF petty lar
ceny already filed against her and
one for grand larceny on the way.
She was between the Old Nick and
the raging ocean for fair.
A policeman came near mixing
things up in a hopeless manner by
saying that the baby was a bottle
baby. and was being boarded out
But Scott offered to prove that It
was the other kind of feed that the
youngster was getting.
The judge scratched his head for
a while trying TO find a way TO
handle the situation in a manner sat
isfactory TO all.
Finally he deeided to suspend a
sixty-dRy sentence and put the
woman on probation and direct that
she furnish bond in the other case.
This will give her temporary lib
erty and give the baby a chance
to get a start.

SEED-GRoWN EASTER LILIES.

The. practicability of propagating
Easter lilies from seed, rendering
the United States independent of
japanese and Bermuda bulbs, is
being demonstrated at the experr-
mental farm of the Department Of
Agriculture at arlington. Lily
seeds have been brought to fun
flower within eleven months Of the
time of planting.
Stalks of seed-Grown plants at
Arlington bear from five to fifteen
blossoms apiece, while from four to
five has been considered a good
average by florists using imported
bulbs.
Wide attention of florists through
out the country has been Attracted
by the departments work in lily cul-
tiVation, under the supervision Of
DR.. David Griffiths, Of Takoma
Park, and requests for seeds and
bulblets from seeds have been nu-
merous. Though the department
cannot comply with such REQUESTS.
people interested in growing Easter
lilies from seed may obtain instruc-
tions in the manner in which seed
may be secured by pollinating the
flowers
Seeds are so light that $50 weigh
only one gram, and each one is a
potential stalk which may provide
double the number Of blossoms
usually obtained from bulbs. The
department has been interested in
this experimental work in an effort
to provide the nation with clean
bulbiets, free from plant diseases
which sometimes are brought into
the country on imported bulbs.
An additional advantage in grow
ing from seed, local horticultural in
vestigators point out, is the fact
that bulbs which foreign growers
produce for expectation take two 10
three years to develop, while seed
grown plants will produce small

JUDGE!
BY RUDOLPH PERKINS.

Morris Agis is a Syrian.
He is out of a job. He had no
home. no money. But he had plenty
of illusions.
Policeman R. NJ. Morrow saw him
take a gun out of his pocket one
dark morning and break the glass in
store window on D street north
west with the butt Of the gun.
MoEis admitted then and there
that he was guilty. But, he ex-
planned there was a method in his
madness.
Because unseen voices were scoId-
ing him, he said, and calling him
bad names, he wanted to get into
jail to escape them. Morrow obliged
him.
Detective H, K. Wilson volun-
teered the information that Morris
was not right in his upper story.
The man made no denial.
Judge Hardison called on the man
for an explanation. In a rambling
and mumbling manner, Morris told a
long story about the unseen tor
mentors.
The court could easily seq that IT
was a case for the psychopathic
ward and directed that the man be
sent down for mental observation.

DRUG BUSINESS
 | ENJOYING BOOM
Out of Long List of Business Groups
 Drugs, Alone, Show Jump in Volume and Increase in the Future Contracts.
dBy International News Service. ,

Washington, Jan. 26.--Is prohibi- ton responsible for big growth in the drug business in the United States?
 Drugs, out of long list of busi- ness groups, stand alone as the only one showing jump in volume of sales and future contracts.
 Drug business is rapidly expanding while other lines have been under de- pression, consequent to price read justments, the Federal Reserve Board said today, in a survey of the busi- ness field
 Whiskey sales to retail druggists by wholesalers legally permitted to withdraw liquor in huge amounts from bond and resell to the trade, ac- count for part of the increase in drug business, officials said In fact, they figured it is responsible for very substantial amount of this increase. , The Board had no figures to show what proportion of the 2S,0O0000 gal Ions withdrawn last year went into drug channels" but admittedly it was large. No figures were separate ly compiled to indicate the growth in the narcotic trade, but treasury re- ports from various collectors dis tricts indicated that heavier revenues are coming in from that source, &C., counting in part possibly for some of the heavier business reported by the wholesale drug dealers.

Little Rock. Jan. 2s The Smith bill providing for the licensing of au- tomobiles and other motor vehicles was amended yesterday in the House by the incorporation of a large num- her of the provisions of the admins tration bill which was also introduced by Mir.

It provides that only $1 of each license comes to the state and it is to be paid into the general revenue fund of the state treasury. The tags shall be issued by the secretary of state. 1t provides for minimum tax of $l0 on any automobile, the rate being 50 cents per hundred pounds weight. A graduated tax is provided for trucks ranging from $1b mini mum to $75 maximum All other come an auto icenseininininderiyed funds derived from license fees shall be paid into the county treasury where the owner resides to become an auto license fund to be distributed by order of the county court among the yariOus road districts

WINS SUPREME
 COURT VERDICT
High Tribunal Revefses Lower Branch Giving Victor Berger Sentence of 20 Years-Judge Landis Is
 to Blame.

Washington, Jans 31.--Conviction of Victor L. Berger and four other mem- bers of the Socialibt party for viola ton of the espionage act was reversed today by the supreme court on the ground that Judge Landis should not have heard the suit after his eligi- bility had been attacked.
 Those convicted with Berger in the federal court at Chicago were Adolph Germer, national secretary of the party; William F. Kruse. editor of the Young Socialists magazine; L.. Louis Engdahl and Irwin St. John Tucker.
 Berger and the other four men were convicted under the section pro- hibiting attempts to cause insubordin- ation and disloyalty in the naval and military forces, and sentences ranging from 10 to 20 years were imposed.
 The appeal was brought to the su- Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who pre- sided at the trial, had shown ''person- al bias and prejudice" against the de- fendants because of their nationality.
 The court divided 6 to 3. Justice Day, Pitney and McReynolds dissent ing.
 The majority opinion held that the affidavit of prejudice filed by Berger against Judge Landis was sufficient to have caused his withdrawal from the case and that Judge Landis hirn- self was not justified in passing upon the affidavit.
 Justice Day who fiisd dissenting opinion, held, however, that the mere filing of an affidavit should not be accepted as sufficient evidence of the unfairness of the judge. The Berger affidavit should not be taken at "face value," he said, because the facts therein had been made solely on "in- formation and belief" and no attempt was made to substantiate them.

TERMS SOUND DEATH
 KNELL OF GERMANY

Berlin, Feb. 1.-The Berlin newspa- pers today are as one in voicing the opinion that the reparation conditions as laid down by the allied supreme council in Paris sound the death knell of the German nation and the eco homie ruin of Central Europe, incIud- ing France, Belgium aud italy. The press, however. does not presume to advise the cabinet as to it's course in this crisis, reaching the conclusion as one of the newspapers expresses it, that Germany is powerless to op- pose this victory madness"
 Some of the conservative organs, discussing the probable effect of the enforcement conditions, suggests that they would leave Germany a play thing to the extremists
