DOES the serving of soups in
- summer seem a strange idea
You will find it is a good one. Toe
often cold foods, cold beverages and
cold desserts constitute the whole OF

A POEM TO THE PUMPKIN

How dear to my heart is the old yell
low pumpkin,
When orchards are barren of stuff
fin for pies
When peaches and apples have both
been a failure,
And berries of no kind have greeted
our eyes.
How fondly we turn to the fruit of
the cornfield,
The fruit that our children are
taught to despise,
The old yellow pumpkin, the mud
covered pumpkin,
The big bellied pumpkin, that makes
such good pies.
Mrs. Rondal Johnson
Milford chronicle., 1929-10-18

A family moving into a new COM
munity has at once various problems
of adjustment of more or less i'm
portance. One, often neglected until
emergency or illness forces a hur-
ried decision, is the selection of a
medical adviser. Sometimes friends
may have been consulted, the drug
gist or a hotel clerk may have been
quizzed, advice may have been
sought from the superintendent of a
hospital; all of which show some
foresight. But too often immediate
necessity is the occasion for the
hasty selection of a nearby practi-
toner, or of a man heard of, vague
ly enough, as "clever doctor"
Now, one of the rare, but most
f1attering things that occurs to a
physician, is to have the father of a
family come to him and say, "My
wife and 1 and the two children mo-
we'd here recently. We have made
inquiry about, and met several doc
tors, and shall be glad if you will
look after us checking up on each of
us at least once year. 1 want to
feel that we know each other and
that I can call on you if need be-"
A physician may have a good rep
utation, but how do you know he will
meet your family's needs? Reputa-
tion stands too often for personality
plus some medicum of skill. But
what is your own estimate of this
man you are asking to care for your
wife and children, who will sooner
or later know intimate family his
tory, and be admitted to one of the
most delicate of relationships with
you and yours? Have you met him
and formed an estimate of his hon
esty-his intellectual honesty in par
ticular? Is he a man who knows his
own limitations, and is not afraid to
acknowledge them? Is he the sort
who frankly recognizes his mistakes
and profits by them? Is he likely to
be one jump ahead of you in asking
for consultation when difficulties
arise, or is he jealous of his own
reputation for omniscience?
When you move to new town,
learn of several men of good repu-
tation. Go to each in turn, say
frankly that you are selecting fam
lily doctor, inquire as to his terms,
etc. You are committed to none till
you have made your choice.
And above all things, remember
that it is almost as important for the
doctor to have good impression of
your judgment and acumen, as for
you to be favorably impressed by
him.

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION

Frequently, you hear men COM
planning because they are required
to do tasks which are not included
in their regular duties, tasks for
which they think others are getting
the credit.
This is a mistake that too many
workers make.
Don't be afraid of anyone taking
credit that belongs to you. In the
first place they can't do it for long,
and in the second place unearned
credit is dangerous.

CHARUHAS SAYS
He SHOT GIRL

Hoping to keep her boy friend

22-year.old waitress, made no effort
today to deny her story of shooting
herself last Sunday night. She
knows nothing of confession made
by her sweetheart.
A charge of assault with intent
to kill was placed against George
p. Charuhas, 21, a taxicab driver
last night, after he told Charles
s, Dwyer, a Second Precinct police
man, he shot the girl after he had
been drinking heavily and was
irresponsible.
Charuhas explained he went to
the girls apartment in the 1900
block Eleventh st. N. W., on a
friendly visit. He became angry
when Miss Neff attempted to caress
him and knocked her down.
The cab driver added he lost his
temper again a few minutes later
and fired on Miss Neff with a
nistol ;he thought was un1oaded
This bullet grazed her arm. He
fired again TO keep her from
hollering."
Richard J. Costello, 45, of the

original statement to the effect that
the girl had shot herself because

TITLE.
LAW RUSH
RAPED

Amazement at the declara.
ton Of Traffic Director w. n.
Harland that immediate pas
sage of an automobile title
law is essential, was expressed
today by officials Of the
Bureau of Efficiency.
Officers of the bureau were moved
to comment in no uncertain terms
on the statement which Harland
made yesterday to the Senate sub.
committee investigating traffic con.
ditions by reason of the fact that
more than two years ago the bu-
reau submitted to the District Com.
miSsioners recommendations which
would have brought about in1me.
diately virtually ali of the benefits
which it is now hoped to- gain by
legislation.
Report Pigeon. HoIed
So far as could be learned today
the report Of the bureau has been
pigeonsholed either by the Commits.
sioners to whom It was forwarded
or by the traffic department.
At ary rate officials of the bu-
reau take Ilrnhrage at the urgency
with which traffic officials are plead
Ing the cause Of title legislation
while they have for two years q.
nored recommerda ations which were
at least step in the direction In
which they are now travelling.
Thomas r. Murphy. Of the bus
reau, declared today that while the
recommendation Of the bureau in
July, 1927, might not have accom-.
plished all Of the benefits sought
by legislation, they would, If fol.
lowed, have brought about great re-
forms and would have paved tho
way for the organization and syss
tenn which will have to be built up
under the proposed legislation.
Registration Reforms
The suggestion of the bureau
more than two years ago was to
bring about reform in the matter OF
registration of motor vehicles
through simple amendments to the
traffic regulations under the power
which the District Commissioners
already have.
Under these suggested by ignored
amendments persons seeking to re-
gister an automobile for the coming
year would be required to submit
the registration certificate of the
car for the preceding year.
Persons seeking to register a new
