Humorous Description OF Thanks
giving Celebration
Some Difference Between the Observ.
ance Of the Day Then and the
.... Festivities Of Today.

From picking the stuffing out Of a
wild turkey to kicking the stufiing out
. Of wild football player, Thanksgiving
day observance has undergone de-
cided change, even within the ken of
the present writer, who, at that, Is
quite old enough to gain a permanent
home among the mummies at the Me
tropolitan Museum of Art, Roy X.
Moulton writes In the New York Eve
ming Mail. There were days away back
In Puritan times when people had q
lot to be thankful for and enough
sense to be thankful for II. 1t Is still
true that portion Of our great metro
politan population find time to Sender
thanks in the old-fashioned style, but
the rah-rah Thanksgiving has been
with us some twenty years now, and
It seems to be gaining momentum.
In the old days they used to leave a
platter strewn with the bones of wild
turkey, and now II is the general Gus
tom to leave the gridiron strewn with
arms, legs, ears and other more or less
important impedincnta.
The history of a Thanksgiving day
used to be set down by the church
clerk. and now II Is set down In jazz
by the sporting writer, all of which
goes to show that civilization is NOV
Ing, though we can't always decide
which way.

''Know we all men by thefe prefentf :

Lad Got BarQalIL

Standing in front of bake shop,
crowd was watching an automatic ma
chane turning out doughnuts. A sign
announced that the price of the dough-
nuts was 80 cents a dozen. In the
front row of the crowd was a small
negro newsboy. AS he pressed his
nose against the window his attention
seemed divided between the sign and
the coins he counted over in his hand.
Thirty cents a dozen would be more
than two cents apiece, and less than
three cents. Finally he entered the
shop and motioned to the girl filling
bags at the hopper that he wanted one
doughnut. She handed it to him and
took the proffered coins. Then, no
ticing that he had given her three
cents, she called him back and re-
turned one of the pennies. A look of
establishment spread over the urchin's
face. Then, realizing he had made a
bargain, he walked across the street,
munching his doughnut.

THE WONDERFUL
FRUIT Medicine
'Fruit-a-tiVeS" Is The Only
Remedy made from Fruitjuices
MARVELLOUS RESULTS

The fact that 'Fruit-a-tives" is the
only medicine in the world made
from fruit juices-that it is entirely
different from any other preparation
for the treatment of diseases the
one big reason why SO many people
are willing to give it a fair trial. They
have used dozens of other treatments
for Constipation, Liver and Kidney
Trouble; Headaches, rheumatism
andNeuralgia; Indigestion, Dyspepsia
Nervousness; Lack of Appetite, Poor
Blood, Skin Diseases and rundown
condition the system. They realize
that they must have something diff
ferent from the ordinary remedies in
order to cure themselves.
"Fruit-a-tives is different. It is
the discovery of physician, who

oranges, figs and prunes into an en-
tirely new compound. By combining
these intensified fruit juices with
tonics and antiseptics, he created a
new substance, which had all the
medicinal properties of fresh fruit,
but in more efficient form. There
can be no substitute for "Fruit-a-

Rent Control Bill
Is Sent to Senate
BY d. G.. Committee

The Pomerene bill, extending con.
troll Of rents in the District until
May. 1924. was presented TO the Sen.
ate today with a favorable report
from the Senate District Committee.
The bill is identical with the fore
casts OF its contents already pub
lished in The Washington Times.
Chaplin Brown, counsel for the Rent
Commission. has drafted a section
which exempts hotels from the juris-
diction of the commission, but pre-
vents apartment house owners from
attempting to change the status of
their properties to the hotel classifi-
cation in order to escape regulation
by the Rent Commission.
The bill places business as well as
residential property under the conf
missions Jurisdiction. limits appeals
from the commissions decisions TO
the District Supreme Court, increases
the membership of the commission
from three TO five, and provides an
increased staff for that body.
There Is comparatively little oppo-
sition to the bill in the Senate, in
spite of a national campaign by
realty interests 10 prevent its pas
sage. The bill is now on the Senate
calendar and will be called up for COL
sideration either by Senator Ball or
by Senator Pomerene at the earliest
opportunity. The present act ex-
pires on May %, and the Senate Dis
trict Committee expects to have the
measure passed by both houses or
Congress and enacted into law far IN
advance Of that date.

Up GROCER As.
CROWDS PASS
Armed Trio Relieve Fourth
Street Grocer Of Cash.
Suspect Arrested.

While hundreds of pedestrians
this morning were on their way
to downtown offices and places Of
business. three negro bandits en-
tered the grocery store Of Joel
Bowredey, 744 4th street north
west, and, after holding I'D the
grocer at the point of a pistol,
robbed the cash register and car
ried away cigarettes and cigars.
Several policemen and pedestrians
gave chase when the alarm was
raised, and a negro, who gave his
name as William Johnson, 102 Four'
and-a-Half street northwest, vas
arrested. He had a loaded pistol.
The bandits made the excuse that
they wanted to make a purchase,
and, while the grocer was looking
for the articles called for, one OF
the negroes whipped out a pistol
and commanded Bowredey to hold
up his hands.
While the grocer was being COW
cred with the weapon, the other
two negroes went behind the coun-
ter and began ransacking the place.
The bandit who robbed the cash
register emptied the money into q
bag, while the others emptied Gig.
ars and cigarettes in with the
cash.
In a short time detectives from
the central office were rushed 70
the scene and a drag net was spread
about the neighborhood.
The police believe that the bandits
are the same men who robbed the
store Of Louis Jeweler, who conducts
a grocery store at Georgia avenue
and Euclid street. Mrs. Jeweler WAS
struck in the month by one Of the
bandits as she was emerging from the
kitchen into the store. Jeweler was
taken to a hospital because Of a beat
ing he received at the hands Of an,
other of the bandits.

TAXEXEMP TON
STUNS DISTRICT
COMMISSIONERS
Loss of Nearly 100000 in
Annual Revenue Expected
BY Senate Action.

The District Commissioners and
tax assessors were stunned today BY
the disclosure that the Senate had
written into the District appropria-
tons bill a clause placing a $4,000
exemption on improved property.
This radical legislation, partaking
OF the nature of the principle Of the
Single Tax, will slash nearly $1,000
900 off the tax returns OF the Dis
trict.
The Single Tax clause. the Commits
sioners feel, Is almost as serious a
matter as the abolition of a proper
tionate appropriation plan by which
the District and Federal governments
may finance the National Capital.
BY writing the Jones amendment
into the bill, fixing the tax rate at
$1.75, the Senate does away with the
$3.50 plan. as well as the 60-40 plan.
1t now means that the District will
be at the mercy OF enemies of the Dis
trict in Congress. In the future, the
District will have to take what II can
get.
Tax Assessor Richards today pre-
pared for the Commissioners state
ment showing that so 900 houses, rep
resenting improved houses, will be
exempted $4,000 each. or a total Of
$40 900 900.
| At the present rate of 31.S2, the
District, under the Single Tax clause.
will lose s1,S2O,0 and under the
proposed new rate of $1.75, the an
nual loss in revenue would be ST.
$50. 900.
Asked how the deficit would be
met. the assessor declared il would
mean increase In assessments, or a
still higher tax rate for the larger
and more valuable properties In the
District.
Hundreds Of small houses in the
District, 1t is pointed out. are valued
at $4,000 or less. They will not be
taxable under the new law. The Dis
trict will derive no return whatever
from the houses, the only return be-
ing from the ground on which they
are built.
At the present time, the District
collects approximately SS,ooo,o0o an
nually from real estate.
The Commissioners admit they are
at q loss to understand the action OF
the Senate. Until the House takes
final action, they withhold comment.

TENANTSFLAY
CHASTLETONAT
RENT HEARING
Property Is Characterized as
mot So Good" by
Witnesses.

As a place to live, the Chastleton
apartment house was described as
mot so good" by tenants testifying
before the District Rent Commission
this morning in their fight for re,
duction of rentals.
Poor telephone service, including
inattention and insolence; porches
whose only value is a resting place
for stepladders; cracked walls; con-
struction design making the inside
court a sounding board" poor light
and ventilation, were among the IN
dictments of the Sixteenth street
property operated through the r. ii.
Smith Company.
Three witnesses testified before
the noon recess-John w. Maher.
chairman of the tenants committee;
Miss Lavina Mellen. secretary to DR..
Chadwick, physician and surgeon,
and Norman Draper. Washington
representative OF the packers.
Though Maher's description of CON
ditions at the Chastleton was the
nrSst detailed yet to be heard at the
hearing, the bitterness OF his testi'
mOny brought smiles to the faces OF
Commissioners Sinclair and Taylor.
Maher told of his inability to get
service on complaints. especially in
the matter of getting a smoke pipe
for the stove In his apartment prop
erly installed. Maher said the pipe
once fell on his wife's head.
Miss Mellen said when she sought
to have cracked walls refinished, an
employe of the Smith company told
her they were 80 thin that any at
tempt to repair them would endanger
the plaster in the adjoining apart.
ment. II was brought out, however,
that the company stood ready TO re-
pair the condition.
Norman Draper, when advised by
tenants counsel. X. II. Mcneil. that
il has been previously submitted that
porches of apartments at the Chastle.
ton were rated as worth SIS add.
tional rent, declared that his only
use for the porch was TO store his
stepladder.
He said that If there were no porch
he would have better light and u
larger kitchen.
In his opinion. as a former real es-
tate man, the apartment for which
he now pays Sis should be rented
for SIS.
