Enraged by testimony given
by Detective S. F. Gravely,
which had led Judge R. E.
Mattingly to sentence him to
six months for vagrancy,
Christopher Evans Papolas, of
Silver Hill, Md, kicked the
former in the groin. The at
tack occurred in Police Court
today in front Of the judge.
Gravely doubled up with pain. but
was able to testify against his as
sailant on the charge Of assault.
Policemen seized Papolas and brought
him before Judge Mattingly, who
gave the man an additional six
months on the latter charge.
Papolas said the police testified
falsely against him in the vagrancy
charge, and that he had q right to
attack him for that reason. The
turist rebuked him, saying he had
q legal means OF redress but had
no right whatsoever to violate the
sanctity of the court room by his
assault.
on September 20 the defendant
had been given a sentence of 1870
days for vagrancy. Judge Mattingly
suspended the sentence at that time
on condition that the man leave
town. When he came up again
today. the judge gave him six
months.

CLERK

Shortly before dawn today
q masked colored man held up
and robbed Milton Plowman,
31-year-old night clerk Of the
Capitol Park Hotel. The rob-
Der obtained about $50 of the
hotels money when he rifled
the cash drawer.
The man walked in with drawn
gun, Plowman told detective-ser-
geants James Springman and Mich.
ael Dowd, who have been assigned
to the case, and ordered him to
throw up his hands. He obeyed,
Plowman related and the man then
emptied the cash drawer. Backing
slowly toward the main door Of the
hotel, the robber warned Plowman
not to give any alarm. Then the
bandit darted through the door and
into an automobile that had been
waiting, engine running, during the
course of the robbery.
The detectives broadcast a. descrlp-
ton of the man given them by Plow-
man. No arrests had been made

SAVE FOR A
PURPOSE

To save merely for the purpose
of saving with no definite objec.
tive is a mild form OF miserliness.
1t is saving merely for the pleas
ure Of possession. This does not
mean that it is not laudable TO
lay by fixed sums OF money just
for the sake of having it for
emergencies or old age or for
opportunities of betterment. even
though none Of these Objectiyes
is definitely in view when the
saving processes begin.
The first step in thrift should
be the selection of a specific and
worthy object. Even if one saves
only for some needless object the
experience is not without its bene-
fits. For saving under any cir
cumstance requires discipline, self
denial, the exercise of judgment
and teaches the value of small,
systematic accumulation.
Find a worthy object for your
thrift and then begin to save

to perfect conduct by quiet talk.
Another, perhaps, of the same
family, will have to be forcibly
shown what the result of his

change his behavior.
If you owned three automobiles
of the same make and CHANGED
upon an opportunity to pick up a
dozen tires at a bargain, you
could do so and use any of the
tires on any one of the machines.
But. if you owned three children,
you could not successfully pick up
a dozen books on child training
and use them promiscuously on
the three youngsters. 1t is neces-
sary that you choose out of the
great amount of matter written on
child training the ideas which will
fit your child. Children of the
same age are not standardized as
to size, needs, behavior, etc. They
are individual requiring handling.

CORRECT
MANNERS
l-Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-I
On the Outside


DEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
l. Is it correct for a man to
walk between two ladies', or on
the outer side of the pavement? /
have been corrected several times
about this, and almost every time
have been wrong or at least lost
the argument.
2. Also please advise me II 1t
Is correct for man to recognize
the lady first, or is 1t her place
to recognized the gentleman first?
READER.
Well now, we must have you
correct the next time this ques-
ton comes up And the answer
is going to be very easy for you
to remember. Whether the gen
tleman Is walking with out lady
or with two ladies', he walks on
the curb. That's easy, isn't it5
You see, the point of that rule is
that the gentleman walks on the
outside of the pavement so that
he can, in case of danger to his
feminine Compaions, protect them.
Formerly, when we had carriages
more, the man was supposed to
walk so that he could protect the
lady or ladies from the splash of
the mud in the street, or could
protect her If the horses ran
away, and so forth. In other
words, the dangers apparently
We're supposed to come from the
street side.
2. The woman is given the privi-
lege of bowing first to the gentle
man. She, as is quite natural, ina
dicates that she recognizes ac-
quaintanceship.
