Why Mother Graham Suddenly
 Capitulatcd

Ndplluldlcd
 The hospital nurse In charge of Mother Graham changed her stoop. ing position over her patient to an erect posture and spoke Jelly to me.
 Mrs. Graham, will you kindly re- main with your mother-in.law while 20 down and telephone the physician? ! will not be long"
 knew as well as if she had told me in SO many nrds that she meant 10 ask the physician to relieve her ot the case. With the certainty that my motheT-in-law strength was fictitious, and that she sorely needed the nInitrations Of the very ef- hcient woman confronting me, l spoke meaningly
 T shall be GIad to do so, but will you take a message for me to Mrs Durkee while you are down stairs ?'
 I stepped out ol the door as spoke, and when she followed mo, I Erasped her by ths arm with much the feeling Of having taken hold O. A ramrod aad murmureI;
 "Please don't telephone unti! have a chance to talk to my motnor- ih-law. l may be able to manage her. Sometimes I can, aud you know she needs you sorely"
 ''MarSaret!' Mother Graham'k aueruious old voice sounded i'm peratlvely from inside the room, and looked pleadingly at the nurse.
 Madges Perplexing Problem
 "1'u wait few minutes" she con- teded, and I hurried into the room 10 find Dickys mother half out of bed. her feet on the floor and her body weakly swaying from side 10 stde as she struggled to maintain a sitting position. I sat down beside her, and drew her head back 10 my shoulder so that she was able to rest her whole weight against me.
 "Mother, dear" I coaxed. T am going 10 do everything you wish, but you must do something for me now, Please get back into bed. You shouldn't be sitting up like tlIs, you know"
 T know 1t better than you de-" she retorted, "but that platter-'sced snip made me so mad I just had to show her I wouldn't be bossed around as if were small boy in the jam closet"
 She relaxed ir my arms as she spoke, and permitted me to tuck her into bed again. For q minute or two I pusied myself with her physi- cal comfort arranging her pillows ss I knew she liked them, giving her q drink Of water, and adjusting the electric pad 10 her feet. Then I sat down beside her, and Ummoning all my courage looked straight into her eyes.
 "I'n in the Wrong"
 "Tou want me to help you next Tuesday, don't you, Mother?" I asked. She looked Up at me, startled, but after an iQstant yelled her ayes behind her lsshes again. But in that flashing instant I had seen something in her eyes which gave ma a faint hope of success. l knew better, howe1 CT, than to wait for any answer 10 my Question-she is too obstinate for that--so I went on with apparent haste, but in real fly choosing my words with infinite care:
 But don't you know that 1t isn't going to do any good If you, your serf. aren't well enough to tell me what you want done? You are weak CT than you think, and I should be doing far less than my duty if I did not tell you that you are en- dangering your very life by what

NEW RULES FOR
C|RCUSES IN
FIRE ZONE
District Regulations Except
Those Showing for Three
Days on 2-Acre Plots.

CircuSes or carnivais, by what
ever name they may be called, will
be prohibited from showing within
the fire limits Of the District Of Co
lumbia except on plots of unsub-
divided property Of at least two
acres, according to an amended
regulation approved by the District
Commissioners.
According to the same regulation,
any circus or carnival granted q
permit to show within the fire limits
Of the District will be confined to
three-day exhibition.
Merry-go.rounds and carousels will
be refused permits to operate in the
District unless they accompany
circus or carnival.
The amended regulations were
drawn at the request of Commits
sioner Oyster following the inability
OF the Commissioners to prevent the
showing Of the KaIlipolis Grotto
circus on Union Station plaza. Ex-
listing regulations permitted the
allowance of the license and the
Commissioners were forced through
a mandamus allowed by the Dis
trict Supreme Court to giant per-
mission to the Grotto to hold It's
carnival.
Objection to using the Union Sta
ton plaza for circus ground was
raised following the rodeo exhibit
ton held there in connection with
the Shrine convention last year.
The new regulation, however, will
not affect the showing of the
Grotto carnival.

RECIPROCITY On
AUTOS TO Be
CONTINUED
Gov. Richie, of Maryland, Ex-
pected to Extend Exist
ing Plan.

Continued automobile reciprocity
between the District of Columbia
and the State of Maryland awaits
only the formal proclamation of
Governor Richie, Of Maryland.
This, proclamation which would
have the effect of continuing indef
initely the reciprocity now in force
in the matter of automobile licenses
is expected at an early date.
Governor Richie is expected to
confer within a few days with the
District Commissioners after which
conference he will announce formal
ly the permanent agreement.
A letter informing him that the
requirements placed on the District
by Maryland for the agreement had
been fulfilled was sent to Governor
Richie yesterday by the Commits
sioners. ..,.,...
The Commissioners also explained
that they are preparing titling reg
ulations for automobiles in the Dis.
trict as urged by the Maryland
officials. .,.......
Preparation Of a QUESTIONABLE to

POWER
SOUGHT BY
POLICE
Swearing In Of Fourteen Plain
Clothes Men as Agents Seen
as Effective Way.

Empowering the fourteen plain
clothes policemen of the District
to act as Federal prohibition en-
forcement officers was being con-
sidered today by the District Com
missioners as one method OF Civ
ing local police a free hand in en-
fcring the dry laws in the Dis
trict.
Congress Law Not Needed.
Commissioner oyster, in charge
of police, explained that it was
believed this could be accomplished
without an act of Congress and
by merely obtaining the permIs-
sion of Commissioner Blair to have
the men sworn in as prohibition
officers.
With the power of prohibition
enforcement officer would come the
money allowances which would en-
able them to make their cases
against dry law violators, he said.
Commissioner Oyster explained
that the move to divorce the two
establishments and to permit DlS-
trict police to act without the as
sistance Of Federal officers was no.
intended to take away any powers
or responsibilities of the Federal
unit in the District.
1t would only enable the District
police to press their cases more eff
fectively, he said.
Measures which would authorize
the appointment Of two additional
police court judges for the Distric:
were being considered today by
Corporation Counsel Stephens and
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ring
gold Hart. It was expected they
would be completed by the first of
next week at which time the COM
missioners would confer again witch
Congressman Cramton Of Michigan
who has agreed to press legisla-
ton in Congress which would help
to dry up the Capital.

Texas Congressman Says
Washington Levy Is Lower
Than in Other Cities.

District tax rates would be in
creased more than 100 per cent
by a bill to be introduced in the
House by Congressman Thomas
l.. Blanton of Texas.
At a special meeting Of the
House District Committee today,
Mr.. Blanton attempted to secure
I adoption of an amendment pro-
viding for this increase as a
rider on bill to establish a park
commission for the District.
To Make Separate Fight.
The amendment was voted down
and Mr.. Blanton served notice that
he would introduce it today as
separate bill.
This bill would increase the tex
rate upon real and personal prop
: erty from $1,20 to $3.50 per hun.
dred dollars.
A number of members of the
District Committee indicated that
they would vote for such a bill.
Blanton declared that the low
tax rate in Washington is the
stumbling stone over which all
District appropriations fall in Con-
gross. He stated that If the tax
rate is increased, Congress would
! be disposed to meet the Districts
needs.
1.-THE tax rate in Washington is
lower than in any city Of its size
in the country" Blanton declared
Because OF this low tax rate the
District is continually starved for
money.
Proponents Confident.
Members of Congress will not
vote to make large appropriations
out of the Federal Treasury for
the needs of the District when they
know that District residents arc
escaping the burden of taxation
they should legitimately shoulder"
Members of the committee who
are in favor of the Blanton pro-
posal are confident that the House
will pass such a bill, if it can be
brought to vote.
