Why does a plumber have to go
back for tools? Why does he not
have enough tools and equipment with
him. when he comes to your home
A. Sacks, pioneer plumber of San
Antonio. at GA Main Avenue, an
swers these questions.
In 30 cases out of 100, you and
the plumbing and heating dealer are
both at a disadvantage, because you
cannot tell him what is really the
matter. You cannot take the plumb
ing TO the repair shop as you would
your shoes or your watch. The plumb
ing and heating dealer cannot bring
his entire shop 70 your home, not un-
less he loads il on several trucks, yet
anv one of scores OF tools or thou
sands of articles may be required.
Unless you accurately describe
what is wrong. the plumber must ac-
tually see the Job before he can ascer-
tain what must be done. Not being
gifted with clairvoyant powers the
plumber tries hard, TO guess at what
he needs to bring with him. In view
of the many abuses that plumbing is
nut to. it is a real wonder that he
ever gueSSes right.
a way out of the difficulty is for
every householder to know at least as
much about the plumbing as about the
cook stove or the lawn mower. Also
TO learn the few simple things TO do,
and not TO do. to avoid damage to the
plumbing. Any reputable plumbing
and heating dealer will gladly and
freely help you to that knowledge.
Contrary to the general impression.
the plumbing and heating dealer usual
ly loses money on minor repair jobs.
Plumbers Wrongly Blamed.
The greatest wonder of all is that
plumbing does not break down oftener
than it does. Usually every member
of the household will carelessly throw
anything. from hair pins to rubber
boots into plumbing fixtures. and
blame the plumbing and the plumb
ing and heating dealer for the re-
suits.
Incidentally, when telling Of the
wtonc impression people have of how
plumbers kill time, Mr.. Sacks makes
some interesting statements regard
ing the difficulty in understanding
the attitude of people who prefer lux
ury to the plain necessity of the msd-
crn bath room. He states:
"A luxury has always aroused
greater desire than a necessity. 1t
will always be so. for human nature
bankers after that which common
sense and plain reasoning denies. 30
it is that luxuries are frequently pur'
chased before bath tubs.
Bath Tubs Offer Health.
people who buy luxurics do not cx-
pect. and certainly are not offered. a
lifetime of service from them. Yet
they spend as much for few months,
use of some luxury as they would
spend in lifetime for equipping their
homes with first-clasS bathing faciil-
ties.
Prevent Much Disease.
"The modern. sanitary. health-pro-
tccting bath room. is classed as ne
cessity by foremost medical authori-
ties. Besides giving great pleasure,
it also serves as a priceless preventive
of disease.
Except as explained above. It is
difficult TO understand the attitude oi
people who prefer luxury to the plain
necessity of the modern bath room
| 1t is more difficult TO grasp the rea
son for feeling that bath room fixtures
and installation Of modern plumbins
is looked upon rs an uniustified OK
pense. after the old equipment ha'
served for ten or twenty years"

TRADE MEN
HOLD ANNUAL PICNIC

Refusing to have anything to do
with the operation of motor cars,
members Of the Washington Auto
motive Trade Association yesterday
hired a fleet of buses, leaned back
in comfort, and had themselves
driven to Morgantown, Md, where
the annual picnic was held.
Between meals there were other
athletic sports, including the annual
contest for the Jose trophy, donated
two, years ago by Rudolph Jose,
president of the association. The
cup will become the property Of the
man winning it three times. w. D.
Lockwood, of the Southern Autom0-
bile Supply Company, was the point
winner of the day, and, with a total
Of ten points to his credit, won a
leg on the trophy. Lockwood took
first place in the broad jump and
the swimming race. He was hard
pressed by Peter Oliver, winner of
the cup last year, who amassed a
total Of tx points.

EXCITING BALL
CAME CAUSES
DEATH
James Dunn Stricken With
Heart Attack at Dominican
Mohawk Clash.

The intense rivalry existing be-
tween the Dominican Lyceum and
the Mohawk baseball teams in the
championship sandlot series had a
tragic interlude yesterday when, in
the fifth inning of the game between
these two teams, James Dunn, fifty
years old, of 629 Nj street northwest,
was stricken with heart disease. Mr..
Dunn was taken into the dispensary
Of the Washington Barracks, where
the game was being played.
Major H. o. Offutt attended him.
He died at o'clock.
Mr.. Dunn was stricken in the fifth
inning when the excitement was at
it's peak. The Dominican Lyceum
had just scored three runs, which
gave them the lead by one run, and
which, eventually, proved the win
ming margin. The final score was
4 to 3 in favor Of the Lyceum.
Coroner hewitt issued a certificate
Of death from natural causes.
