The District Government has
adopted a regulation requiring Ill

Of guide books, to obtain a license

This action was taken following
a decision of the Court of Appeals

ever, the District Commissioners
feel that while they may not have

This will prevent them from sell

The latter tucked away the notes in her handbag, while paid the bill. When I rose to take leave of them, could see, standing in the doorway and looking at us with a puzzled expression, a middle-aged man, who decided at once was the individual whom I had impersonated. l said at once:
 "The business is over, and, I trust, pleasantly. Forgive me if I take my leave. There are others anxious to hear from me-"
