HOW TO DISPOSE OF ASHES
NEW PROBLEM IN CAPITAL
District Appropriation Forbids City From Col
lecting Apartment Refuse.

District appropriations have pro-
hibited the city government from
collecting refuse from trash cans
and ash cans from apartment
houses.
Community meetings will have to
be held about it. Plans will have
to be laid. Even IL father does
get up in the morning to collect
the ashes and the trashes, what will
he do with them? What happens
to them, anyhow?
In the dear, dead past, Morris
Hacker. superintendent of the street
cleaning department. always con-
strued the law providing. that the
government shall not collect such
matter from large apartments" to
mean apartment buildings housing
more than four families.
But under the new regulations,
the cost of living in two and three
fiat buildings will be increased by
the necessity of a private ash man.
1t is believed that this will affect
persons in these smaller apartment
houses. However. garbage collec-
ton provisions are not affected.
The city collects 1t from all classes
OF buildings as a sanitary measure.
The new appropriation also pro-
hibits the District from hiring pri-
vate concerns to collect dead ami
mails, but gives it permission to
buy dead animal wagon. It has
not yet been decided what will be
done with the carcasses after they
have been collected, but it Is prob
able that they will have to turn
them over to some private concern
which has disposed of them in the
past.

Tree Fooled Him.

Last Saturday I saw a boy about
10 years old, fell a tree forty feet
high and at least ten inches In d.
ameter at the base with one hand.
The tree grew on the edge OF the
sidewalk in front of the Presby-
terian Church at 1911 H street north
west. and to all appearances was a
healthy. normal tree. l marveled at
what the boy did, but my astonish-
ment was no create" than his sur
prise and fright at SO unexpected an
event. l examined the tree and found
every, root but one rotted entirely
away. That root was about three
inches in diameter. 1t is possible
that the storm of few days ago
had all but blown down the tree and
it only needed a young Samson" to
finish the job. / can now believe in

She Set a Killing Pace.

While walking down Thirteenth
street on my way to work this morn
ing there passed by me a young
lady. This was near Kenyon street.
The fact that she passed me so easily
got Inc "het up" so l tried to keep
up with her Down Thirteenth street
she went. and when l got to Logan
Park 1 could see her sturdy figure
striding down Vermont avenue.
Across Fourteenth street, around the
south side of Thomas Circle and she
struck Vermont avenue again. When
l got to Vermont avenue again, after
having crossed Fourteenth street, l
saw her blue waist more than a
block away; with her hat in her
hand she was swinging along like a
Weston. She entered Mcpherson
Park at Fifteenth and K streets and
continued down Fifteenth street to
the Treasury. When arrived at
the Treasury l took of my hat and
mopped my brow. I was sweating
like a trooper and nearly all in. Then
looked at my watch. / had walked
from my home to the Treasury, a
distance of three miles, in thirty-five
minutes. This was faster by three
minutes than had ever walked the
distance.-John Anschutz, IT New
