Spe a king g of Sports S

The psychological effect of know ing that members of the fair sex are watching and roofing for the players seems to have considerable effect in the Inter-Church league. The St. Matthew's Lutherans, who have lost only one game. are always supported by q large crowd of rooters of both sexes and seem 10 respond remaFk- ably to the stimulus. The Swedes who were undefeated last year, when they received much feminine support, have not been given such hacking this season and are well down in the race. But the strangest case is that Of the Center church.
 Last week they were on the short end of a 70 score when suddenly a group of young women arrived on the field and began 10 cheer for them in high pitched but lusty voices; the result was that the team scored eight runs and won the game without further trouble. And last night this team. which had been go- ing poorly, again received this back ing and proceeded 10 trim the Methodists, There is one thing about having the girls on the side lines, anyway; it brings out all the players.

NEW FURNITURE
FIRM OPENS

The recent opening of the new
store Of the American Furniture
Company. at 512 Ninth st. n. W..
serves to again focus attention
upon the revival OF retail business
interest In the section OF the city
in the neighborhood of the Govern
ment buildings which once housed
the Postoffice Department and the
Department Of the Interior.
The Inter Ocean Building, which
now is occupied by the American
Furniture Company. also Is sur
rounded with historic interest.
The building was constructed In
1890 and leased to the Federal
Government for use Of the Census
Bureau. Later the premises were
occupied by the Lansburgh Furni-
ture Company, from 1905 to 1920.
when the building was sold to r.
B. Behrend.
OF especial interest in connection
with the present location of the
American Furniture Company is
the underpinning work carried out
when the structure was re-
modelled.
With the exception of strengthen
ing the foundation of the Washing
ton Monument, this is said to have
been the largests underpinning job
ever undertaken In this city.
At this time the entire front was
underpinned and two large columns

Is Years Ago Today

sRev. H. II. Spooner of Bulls
Ridge, Ky, has purchased A. W.
Upson's residence in Kensington and
will soon take UP his residence
there. He is Mr.. Upson's guest at
present.
The running away of a pair OF
mules attached to a farmers wood
wagon containing several bags of
grain was the setting to an exhibit
ton of athletic proves on Main
street shortly before which is sell
dom seen outside of a circus. The
mules were owned by II. D. Hawley
of Plainville, who stumbled in get
ting in on Commercial street and fell
between the animals. They ran
away, he hanging to the pole for
dear life, and turned south into Main
street. Mortimer Rhodes, the young
athlete. who played polo in England
a year ago, was going into Solomon's
cigar store when the noise attracted
him. He ran out and grabbed one
mule while another bystander took

to one side and it looked as if
Rhodes would be crushed against
the curb, when he suddenly lifted
himself in a mighty leap clear over
the animal. The mules stopped, but
Hawley stumbled again in getting in
and the mules tried to bolt sec
ond time. He finally drove off, but
when he got to High street he
found he had forgotten something
and had to go back.
A resident of the north end told
the About Town Man" a few days
ago that he would petition for a re-
dUction of taxes because the city
had not made the improvements it
planned. The flag walk on the
northern part of Washington street
is being held up pending investiga-
ton of grade, and this man is i'm
patient of waiting for city improve
ments he wants and is willing to pay
for. When the city lines were ex-
tended northerly few years ago it
was understood that city improve
ments would follow. This appears to
have been partly forgotten but tho

WHAT'S WRONG WITH
GEORGIA?

In reading this title the recent
bank failures will Immediately
come to mind. But tush. tush, this
has nothing TO do with banks and
bucket shop spectators. such az
the dispatches from Atlanta re-
ferred TO in recent days. This has
to do with something more funda-
mentally wrong.
Here is the stage setting:
Company X of the 24th L. 5. In
fantry (colored doughboys) were
digging iron pipe out of an aban-
doned army field at Americas, Ga.
They were not armed while doing
this labor for sthe government
Nearby was a lumber yard, in
which was employed a white night
Waterman. About 10 p. m. the
watchman's wife and child brought
him food, passing through the Ne
gro section of the town. They were
not molested.
An hour later the family of three
walked up wooden sidewalk,
which was eight feet, ten inches
wide. On the curb, with his back
to the sidewalk, sat Private Smith,
colored. dressed in the American
uniform. He was talking to another
colored man who was standing in
the street.
The white nightwatchman kicked
Private Smith into the road, ex-
claiming, Get off the sidewalk"
The kicker says the soldier picked
himself up and asked, who's CO.
ing to make me?" six witnesses
say Private Smith said nothing.
Then the night Waterman pulled
a gun and shot the soldier dead on
the spot.
The night Waterman was indicted
on a charge of murder, but not
jailed to await trial At the trial
the night Waterman was acquitted.
Now think your own editorial.

FRENCH BENEFITS
FROM LOW FRANC

BY allowing its currency to fall.
the French government in effect
has wiped out 80 per cent of that
nations internal debt. In other
words, a drop of the franc from
around 20 cents to cents means
that the holders of French internal
bonds have ten cents in gold for
something which cost them 81 in
gold.
1t is the German story all over
again. When the mark went down
to zero the German government had
no trouble in wiping the slate clean
of all internal war debts, so that
the final result of the financial
fiasco was the government emerged
without an internal debt to speak
of. while the German holders of its
bonds we're impoverished - such
as did not possess real estate or
other property in addition to the
bonds or marks.
But as to the French bonds it is
different respecting those held
elsewhere. The French bonds listed
on the New York stock exchange
are payable, principal and interest,
in gold in New York. That's why
quotations on French bonds in New
York remain firm despite the unto
ward monetary situation in France;
in fact, they are a little firmer than
usual. as it is recognized that the
better France is able to pay its in
ternal obligations as its currency
descends - or stays descended -
the easier it will be for her to find
the money to pay her foreign OBJ
legations.
One sometimes is forced to won
der if there is not method in the
madness of some of the European
governments in permitting or caus-
ing their currencies to depreciate'
In case of the German government,
such suspicious were perhaps well
founded as the mark printing ma
chimes were operated by the gov
eminent TO the breaking point, and
the ultimate object could not re-
main far hidden.
Such things are hard on the PEG
ple. but soft for the governments.
