There seems to be no more differ

Washington and probably in the other
cities. The department notes that in
July fresh vegetables were higher
here 'than in most Of the other twen-
ty-one cities from which figures were

tables is largely local question. If a
city is near good vegetable-g

prices elsewhere do not draw off the

Vegetable growers in the Washington

not a happy spring and summer this

who succeeded in raising good crops

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL

When the mammoth navy dirigible
ZR-1 fioated down Pennsylvania ave-
nue. a few days ago so low that you
could see the propellers turning and
could almost visualize the faces of
the officers and men in the dependent
gondo1as. it recalled to mind a comic
incident of one of the early Zeppelin
raids over London.
1t was in 1915, a time when the
English had taken virtually no steps
at all for the protection of their
capital from the sky raiders So on
this occasion one of the marauding
Zeps deliberately set its course down
the Strand, sailing extremely low and
with perfect safety dropping it's little
twenty-pound bombs, raising lots of
racket, caving in a door of the Gaiety
Theater and generally making every
body furious.
When the silvery Yep started down
the Strand it SO happened that a
London messenger boy was riding in
the same direction on his bicycle. A
small kerosene bull's-eye lamp was
affixed to the front fork of his bike.
Hearing the hum of the motors, the
boy looked up and was terrified TO
see the Yep coming right after him.
He put on more speed, but as he
looked back he saw the Yep was
gaining. Once more he pedaled with
still greater vigor, but still the Zer
was gaining. The monster seemed
to have eyes that looked at him
alone. And 1T was just about to
pounce when suddenly a great in;
messenger. He swerved his bike into
a black alley and leaping from the
wheel quickly blew out his lamp. The
strategy was a great success. The
zep missed it's quarry. 1t circled
about the city for a time. but in it's
chief mission 1t had failed. The boy
escaped its wrath and lived to be a
hero among all his mates.

of the experts. it appeared. were un-

ready to expert on the slightest call

The Spanish Prisoner Game.

A dispatch from Barcelona says
been working the Spanish prisoner
confidence game have been arrested.
This is good news, that may mean a
breakup of one of the meanest swim
dies ever practiced. Although repeat
edly exposed, as was the old green
goods" game in the past, it has
thrived. Nobody knows, Of course,
how many Spanish prisoner letters
come to this country, but from sam
pies that are shown from time to time
it may be estimated that the United
States gets large share. A dispatch
from Barcelona says that no less than
$4,000 letters have been dispatched
from that city in year by the large
band Probably only few dozen
people "bite" But the winnings from
them have doubtless been big enough
10 justify the expense and labor
Briefly stated. this game is worked
as follows: A letter written in care
fully "pigeoned" English is received
by resident of this country telling
him that he has been appealed to be-
cause of his known charity and means
to aid a man held as prisoner in Spain
to recover the buried proceeds Of his
crime. In order to get at the money
an agent is necessary, who must come
to Spain with funds sufficient to carry
on search and perhaps to "cross the
palm" of an official. Sometimes the
victim is not urged to go to Spain,
but is instructed to send his money
to a designated agent, who, when the
treasure is recovered, will forward a
specified share Of the loot.
On the face of it this would seem a
most hopeless proposition. But again
and again, as the Spanish police rec
ords show, people have gone to Spain
in response to these letters, have put
up their money with the agents
named, and have then waited fruit
lessly for results, finally in some
cases reporting to the authorities,
only to find that they have been chas-

Royal D. Smead, sometimes of Hon.

By this time two old farmers locked
horns.
"a dollar five. said one.
A dollar ten, by cracky,' said the
other.

Just about this time the much
perturbed wife of one Of the farmers

Some inquiry has been made of the
government here as to whether any
thing can be done to stop the hawk
ing of German marks on the streets
of New York. Peddlers, it is report
! ed are standing on the street corners
with sheafs of the mark notes in
their hands and calling zone hun
dred thousand German marks for
10 cents" OF course, the idea
is that many people want to
buy the big mark notes as souvenirs
or curiosities. But there are two
points of attack upon the practice.
One is that it is not exactly pune
tilious thing to do toward a friendly
power. even if its currency is vir-
tually outlawed. The second point
of attack is that the men who sell
the mark notes are cheaters and
swindlers. One of the street vendors
recently was arrested for cheating
because he sold only $4,000 marks to
the dime. The new rate of one mill
lion marks for dollar on the street
corners is, of course. out of all pro-
portion to the market quotations.
which have run all the way up to
300, ,000, 900 to the dollar. One of the

In the old green goods game the
appeal was also to the cupidity of
people, usually in rural regions, who
were invited to buy counterfeit money
of such excellent execution that it
would not possibly be detected. They
were to go to New York, for example,
with their cash and after following
instructions We're to pay over their
good money for the bad, which they
were then to take back home and
pass to their neighbors. They were
shown packages Of supposed money,
which were put into a valise, with
instructions not to open it until they
got on the train, or back home. When
they opened the packages they found
genuine dollar bills on the ends of
oblongs of green paper. There was,
of course, no comeback" for they
were themselves engaged in a Grim.
inal enterprise. This game was finally
broken up by a man who shot dead
two of the promoters.

Enforce the Law!

An inquiry is to be conducted by the
prohibition commissioner into charges
that have been brought against cer-
tain of the enforcement agents sta
toned here. 1t should be searching
and sincere. 1t should reach the bot
tom. If there is sany truth in the al
legations of misconduct the guilty
men should be dismissed and, if the
proof is adequate, prosecuted and, on
conviction, punished.
That the prohibition law is being
violated in Washington is notorious.
The Illicit traffic is conducted almost
openly. Vendors of liquor are well
known. their headquarters are verita-
Bile landmarks, their stations" where
they may be reached for business, are

Raids are conducted from time to
time, and arrests are made and liquor
is seized. But the traffic continues.
The courts are kept fairly busy with
the cases, but only fraction of them
come to the point of trial Bonding
those accused of breaking the dry law
has become a lucrative industry, and
the trade continues, with little check.
If there are men under federal COM
mission who wink at this illicit traffic,
or who profit from not molesting it.
they are guilty of the most shameful
breach of trust. The enforcement force
must be above suspicion. These pres
ent charges put some of the, force di-
rectly under suspicion. The matter
must be cleared fully and to the COM
plete satisfaction of the public.
The District police force, however
capable of enforcing the law, cannot
work effectively if it is handicapped
by incompetence or malfeasance on
the part of members of the federal or
ganization. The present conditions in
Washington reflect, however, upon
the police. Yet the responsibility rests
upon the central enforcement organi.
Zation.
OF all the cities in the country
Washington should be free of the
scandal of unenforced law. The situa-
tion today is a grave reflection upon
the government Let it be changed at
once for the better by a thorough, de-
termined, 100 per cent pursuit of the
bootleggers, to clean the atmosphere
and relieve all enforcement agencies,
local and federal, from suspicion.
