Mrs. Margaret Day, who conducts a
rooming house at S19 18th street, has
appealed to police of the first pre-
cinct to apprehend n firebug who
started a blaze in the hallway of her
home early Wednesday morning,
similar fire having occurred in a shed
on her premises about the same time
in the morning two weeks previous
Wednesday morning Mrs. Day was
awakened by hearing her front door
close. Looking from a window she
saw the form of a man leaving the
house and going north on 18th street
Then she detected the odor of smoke.
Roomers were awakened and an cx-
animation of the lower floor disclosed
Il small blaze that was promptly OK
tinguished without calling on the fire
department and before much damage
had resulted.
Finding of 4 milk bottle contain
ing a small quantity of gasoline that
evidently had been left by the sup
posed firebug. convinced occupants of
the house AID the police that the fire
was the work OF an incendiary.

JUDGE CONSIDERS
VETERAN CUSTER
Will Decide on Right to Dis
charge Ex-SoIdier From
Federal Post.

Justice Bailey of the District Su-
preme Court yesterday took under
adtisement the question of the right
of Secretary Mellon and other Treas
ury officials to Dust a world war vet
Gran whose efficiency rating is good
from the government service.
William T.. Robinson secured a
temporary restraining order Tuesday
to prevent his custer from the posi-
unit, which had been scheduled for
that date. The Treasury officials. he
claimed. are prevented by an act of
Congress from discharging a soldier
or sailor. honorably discharged. as
long as his rating is good.
The officials deny the claim of
Robinson that his rating is good and
assert that he was the poorest in his
section" They also set out that the
act relied upon does not protect the
position held by Robinson, and aver
that the civil service commission has
never put into effect the system OF
efficiency ratings and records pro-
vided by the act and has never recog-
nized as in force the section relied on
by Robinson. The services of Robin
son were to be dispensed with. the
court is advised, because reduction
was made necessary by the curtailed
appropriations for the bureau. and
that Robinson was the most ineff-
cient man in his section
United States Attorney Gordon and
Assistant United States Attorney
West represented the officials at the
hearing. while Robinson was repre-
scented by Attorneys Harlan Wood and
Charles l.. Carson.

Colors for Mourning Vary.
From the Kansas City Star.

From the Kansas City star
The colors used as badges of mourn
ing vary in different countries. In this
country, as in Europe, the ordinary
color for mourning Is black. In China,
AS with the ancient Spartan and Ro-
man women. it is white: in Turkey, 1t
is blue or violet; in Egypt. yellow; in
Ethiopia, gray.
Some have attempted to trace the
associations which caused the adoption
of the various colors to natural causes.
Thus black, which is the privation Of
light. is supposed very appropriately to
denote the privation of life; yellow is
the color of leaves when they fall and
signifies that death is the end of all
human hopes.
In the east, to cut the hair was con-
sidered sign of bereavement; among
the Romans, on the contrary, it was
deemed a mark of sorrow to let it grow.
