GUARDING SIRINERS

The protection of the huge

Is the aim of the public order and

Of $4,000 for additional police

BY A Skinner.

T HE convention of the I'm
perial Council Of the Mys.
tic Shrine in Washington
was constructed in accordance
with an ideal radically different
from that which has prevailed at
any previous session. During the
past months the public has been
given a fairly good picture Of the
conception of the convention that
actuates the plans Of the COM
= mittee arranging the affair.
The convention in other cities
has been one merely Of parades,
banquets, color, light, and amuse-
ment staged in carnival atmos-
phere.
Washington presents an en-.
tirely different prospect. It IL
the seat of the Government, the
only spot in all America with
its Government buildings, its
monument, statues, parks. and
institutions which, while not
calculated to dampen the carni-
val spirit, are bound to impress
the visitors as they never have
been impressed before, on this &C.
casion.
In short, circus is one thing
when it is performed in the
open, and quite another when it
is performed under the folds of
+ the flag, so all the members Of
the Nobility of North America
who come to Washington ought
to be informed ahead Of time that
while their good time is in no
way to be curtailed, they are
going to receive with the waters
from the Fountain. of Fem Fem,
which they shall drink, something
in addition, something that will
not spoil the taste, but which will
flavor it.

qualities that make a Shr1ner

They are qualities that he pos

In the last bout of the season
at the American Legion Arena in
Brawley last night, Young Villareal,
the little Filipino who has been set
ting the fight fans wild with his
clever work, went down to defeat
before Kid Sunday of San Diego,
with whow he fought close draw
last week. For three rounds the
San Diego boys euffed the Filipino
around the ring, now and then TAX
ing some bad smashes but getting
in deadly work at long range. The
decision went to Sunday, but no
one could question Villareal 8 game

Battling Paul, Brawley's S colored
scrapper, was supposed to go four
rounds in the semi-final with Sailor
Denton of San Diego, bat Paul evid-
entity didn t feel like working that
long, for he stopper the sailor af-
ter two minutes of fighting in the
first round, with a hook to the Jaw

Keller Tells Citizens to File
Complaints When overcharg-
edCoal Situation Better. !.

Householder In washington who
believe they are paying exorbitant
prices for coal substitutes, such as
coke, should complain to the Public
Utilities Commission. 8.
Col. Charles Keller, chairman Of
the commission, made this declara.
ton today In answer to inquiries as
to whether the commission planned
to establish fair prices on fuel SUBJ
stitutes.
''The commission has made no
move to set prices on coke and other
substitutes and we are not planning
to do so at this time" said the COM
missioner. However, If any con-
sumner believes he IL being charged
an exorbitant price for coal substi.
tutes wish that he or she would
communicate with the commission.
We will be glad to make an investi-
CATION, and If we find an exorbitant
price 10 being charged we will take
steps to bring down the price"
Colonel Keller declared that the
commission had received no COM
plants of overcharging for coke. It
was reported today that coke was
selling as high as ST a ton in some
parts Of the city.
The commissioner said that several
complaints Of high hard coal prices
have been received.
"The commission has set a fair
price of $3.50 q ton to hard coal,
said the colonel. However, there
are instances where q dealer is JUS
titled in charging more. In many
cases dealers are required to pay an
advanced price in order to get fuel.
In ali cases where the charge ex-
ceeds $3.50 the commission investi-
gates, and il it finds the dealer is
making more than reasonable profit
steps to bring down the price Of his
coal will be Immediately taken"
It was said at the commissions
office today that no instances OF
exorbitant charges for either coke or
coal had been found. Numerous
cases were investigated, but 1t was
found the dealers margin Of profit
was reasonable.

Commissioner Oyster Favors
Plan for Check on Auton1o-

Licensing OF all automobile me-

was urged upon Commissioner
James r. Oyster today by Louis
B. Taylor, proprietor Of an auto
mobile repair shop at 1142 Twen-
.ieth street northwest.
Asks Examining Board. /
Mr.. Taylor suggested to the Com
missioner that 4 board Of examiners
be created, this board to inquire into
the qualifications Of all men who
repair automobiles. especially men
who have opened or are planning
to open repair shops in the District.
''I think that 1t is an, excellent
suggestion" the Commissioner de-
clared. "As soon as get back down
town to my office I win take the
matter up"
The Commissioners, who ID home

declared. he would ask Frank n.

sci, to draw up q bill providing q
board Of examiners for automobile
mechanics, and requiring each man
to be licensed.
Motorists Easily Duped.
''The average motorist in Wash
ington can be duped very easily by
ness" said Mr.. Taylor. Enactment
OF bill requiring licenses would
not only assure motorists that auto
mobile mechanics doing business are
efficient but would place the me-
chanics on a much higher plane"
Mr.. Taylor suggested that a small
license fee be required of persons
opening repair shops. He also said
that it might be advisable to re-
qIlire prOprietors of repair shops to
put up a bond with the District gov
eminent. This bond could be a
means of assuring motorists that in
event their car is damaged while in
the repair shop there would be money
on hand to fix It up again.

no reason why automobile mechanics

"a man who doesn't know his
business can wreck an automobile
and cost motorists hundreds Of
dollars.
'I am sure that all motorists will
welcome Mr.. Taylor's suggestion,
especially those who have spent
hundreds of dollars on repair work
with men who have done more dam
age than good to their cars.
"I think that the motorist should
have the assurance that automobile
