u. S. Senator Carl Hayden when he
was here a couple weeks ago told OF q
fellow senator who never lost an op-
portunity when campaigning to get in
some !licks for himself He was in
his home state corraling votes before
the last election and attended an ex-
ecution. This was a good opportun-
ity. The sheriff had just adjusted the
moose, and asked the condemned man
if he had anything to say.
"No," the man said, Il don't believe
there is"
Here the candidate shouted eager

"Say, Jake, if you haven't anything
special to say, | wish you'd give me
about Is minutes of your time, old
man, so as to let me tell these good
friends gathered here that I'm can
didate for their suffrages and to lay
before them some reasons why"
That's all right" Jake interrupted.
'SYou can have my time. But, sheriff,
you go ahead and hang me first and
let him talk afterward.'
Speed Campbell says he was getting
to like girl pretty well and told her
so. She didn't seem to respond.

Il amt 32," she snapped. "Who
told you | was as old as that?"
Nobody told me" Speed says he
told her, "only it seemed to me you
were somewhere close to the freezing

Judge J. E. Jones says the most
complete answer to anything he ever
heard was by the plaintiff in a di-
vorce case. Her husbands lawyer
during the argument tried every way
he knew how to make her admit there
was another man in the case. But he
couldn't get anywhere with her. When
the decree was granted, the lawyer
said:
.I'll bet she'll get married again
within month"
The woman walked right up to him,
looked him in the eye, and said:
Look here, mister, the man I'd
marry again amt been born yet, and
furthermore his mothers dead

The bartender handed out a pint,
and Arch drained it. 'How'm / goin'
to boost sales to fifteen barrels a

Arch wiped his mouth with the back
of his hand, sighed contentedly, and
said:

Although Washington and Balti-
more are but 40 miles apart and
freight rates on vntually all commo-
dities are but slightly different, the
average home owner spends one-third
more for his home in the Capital
than in the neighboring metropolis of
MARYLAND. Not only do one-family
dwellings cost very much more to con-
struct in Washington than in Balti-
more but more money is spent for
dwellings, of all classes in this city as
against the neighboring city.
These statements are contained in
a study of cost of dwellings in various
American cities, made public today by
the Labor Department. showing that
the cost of housing here is higher
generally in comparison with costs in
Baltimore.
The average expenditure for one
family dwellings in Washington dur
ing the first half of 1927 was $6,337,
while in Baltimore the figure was but
S3,942. The report did not compare
the types of dwellings,. nor did it men,
ton the number of rooms. The
average cost of one-family dwellings
in New York during the first half of
the current year was placed at
s6.1S4. more than $100 below the
Washington figure. In arriving at
the figure for the Capital, dwellings
to provide for 1869 families were
counted, while In Baltimore dwellings
to provide for Ais families were
surveyed.
For all classes of dwellings in

REALTY TAX INCREASE
CONTRASTS WITH SAVING
Higher Levy Striking in Compari-
con With Government Economies,
Harvard Professor Says.

DR.. Charles J. Bullock Of Harvard
University, in the National Real
Estate Journal. discussing the in
crease Of taxes on real estate in
American cities, says that the increase
is the more striking as 1t contrasts so
sharply with the decrease which has
been effected in the expenditures Of
the Federal Government.
He cites as the reason for this that:
Few local governments, If any, have
a budget system and organization
which compare in efficiency with those
developed by the Federal Government.
Few local governments have chief
executives with the courage to preach
and enforce economy at time when
politicians are afraid of the word and
prefer to campaign for Office on their
records as liberal spenders.
There is the obvious fact that local
governments touch more closely the
personal, business and social life of
the people, with the result that the
unpleasant side of economy is brought
home more closely to the average
voter

The figures show that the average
expenditure for erection of one
family dwelling in psf cities was
$3,s72 in 1921. BY 1926. however, the
average expenditure had risen 10 per

night at p. m. in the third shield
match of the season between the two
organizations. Cars will leave the

In the first two out of four sched-

gregation led by the large margin of
$50 pins, reversing the tables on Doug
las when the latter led year ago by
a number almost as large. For several
years Douglas has been winning the

honors, but this season both matches
to date are just the opposite.
Selection of bowlers to represent
the Douglas @Y'' is made by picking
the ten high men,, omitting those who
rolled in the previous cup match who
took part in two-thirds of the pre-
vious scheduled games According to
this ruling of the bowling committee,
the following are eligible to roll in
this contest: Struthers, Mayo, Pollak,

ing substitutes: Evans, Cooper, Stolar-

= started the present upheaval
in major league baseball.
Out Of it came the charges Of
"swede" Risberg, which were
found to be untrue and were
wiped off the slate by Judge Lam
dis. That erased one of the blots
on the game.
AS a result of the Speaker-Cobb
episode, the president of the
American League and the high
commissioner of baseball are now
at swords point.
Fandom has been fed up on the
situation. Action is desired. The
fog about baseball will not be
cleared until a definite decision is
given regarding Cobb and
Speaker.
These two great stars are either
innocent or guilty. A draw deci
sion is never popular with sport
lovers. Baseball must give Its
