are such as to lessen, as much as pos

the hangers parallel the feed alley with
its steel fodder carrier track. At one
end are the COW pen and the bull pen,
with provision for the hired man at
the extreme end room, and a conyen-

and sanitary service which ought to
be always considered Of prime impor-

The litter alleys and steel carrier

and the removal of litter, and drains
are placed at the ends of the cutters
to carry off manure liquids and con.
serve these probably in tank for

The expenses of running the White

servants. Among the expenditures will
be electric light, $500; installation of
new refrigerating system, $4,000; rem

upkeep of the grounds, $4,000. The

What the Number Indicated.

Few persons in the. Pine Top had
ever seen motorcar; and when big
car stopped for few minutes in the
isolated village, the curious inhabi-
tants gazed at it with a mixture Of
fear and awe. The owner, who had
entered the general store to make a
purchase, heard one rustic remark {:
'I'll bet it's a mankiller."
"Sure." assented another.

That shows how many people it's run
over. That's accordin' to law. Now,
If that fellow was to run over any
body here in Pine Top, it would be
our duty to telegraph that number
1344Eto the next town."
"And what would they do?"
"Why. the constable would stop him
and change his number to 1345."

Iron stanchions that swing are now
conceded by most ,dairymen as best
for the purpose. A short chain at
the top, and the bottom help to give
the COW the desired freedom Of move
ment.
It will be observed that In this
barn provision is made for hay NOW
above the dairy barn floor, with the
hay being dropped down through the
hay chute at the end Of the feed alley.
This is after all the most satisfactory
way of keeping the cows supplied
with this daily necessity, and besides
the full hay NOW is not to be despised
as a factor in keeping the barn COM

Light is provided IN abundance. It
is a moot question with some as to
whether Bossy should not face the
light, instead of having her back to it.
But the advantage Of facing the cows
inward, head to head. and the ease
this means in the handling Of fodder,
litter and keeping the place clean gen.
orally commends the latter plan.
Happily, the day is gone when the

"easy mark, While lightning-rodded
barns suffered from faulty rod con-
struction and installation in the past
and caused not only annoyance but
destruction. the modern dairy barn,

helps the barn owner to rest at ease

TO ASK WRIT OF ERROR
IN ZONE LAW RULING
Police Judges Decision Held Not
to Require Closing of Connecti-
cut Avenue Store.

To clear up any misunderstanding
of the effect of the decision Of Judge
Robert Hardison rendered Saturday in
Police Court in the Million Dollar
grocery store case" under the zoning
laws, in which Theodore Marcopulos
is defendant, it was stated today that
the decision does not mean that the
defendant must close his store, which
is located at 2606 Connecticut avenue.
On the contrary, the store is in op-
Grafton. as it has been since August,
1921, when established by the defend
ant. The fine of $40 imposed by Judge
Hardison was nominal, the court
stating that if the fine was made
too small counsel for defendant mi ght
not be able to get the case to the Dis
trict of Columbia Court of Appeals
Pending the final adjudication of
the case, Bell, Marshall & Rice. at
torneys for defendant, have announced
they will make application to the
District of Columbia Court of Ap-
peals for a writ of error. The status
OF the case is virtually what 1t was at
the beginning Of the litigation. which
involves the right of the storekeeper
to possess the permit necessary for
operating his place of business. The
Zoning commission has refused this
permit on the ground that the store
is located in a residential section.

Chief Watson said there was also
a crying need for men in the depart

had been continually short of man

men now in the service, and said the
personnel of the District department
equaled any in the world.
