F FAMOUS LYING
TREEFELLED

The cherry tree that made
George Washington famous or
the. tree that George made
famous with his little ak, not
the original tree but a slip from
the historic tree, blew down in
a windStorm near Fredericksburg,
Va, last week.
Just how authentic the leg
end of the tree and the story
about George taking the business
end of his fathers razor strap
may be is a matter of doubt, but
at any rate the tree grew on the
farm of the Washington family
and is supposed to have been
raised from a slip.
Some believers claim that
George, wishing to perpetuate his
stand in regard to fibbing,
planted the shoot and started the
tree on it's way. Others insist
that after that memorable day
when the hatchet was used,
George had a decided aversion
to the fruit of any cherry tree.
Whether or no, the tree blew
down and steps will probably be
taken to preserve it, the tree,
not the fruit, for posterity to gaze
upon when the desire to lie a
little seems too tempting.

IRA KECK MADE
CROSBY MD

Detective sergt. Ira e. Keck, for
several years attached to detective
headquarters as head of the bad
check and business fraud squad,
will succeed Lieut.. Frank E. Var
ney, as personal aid to CommiS-
sioner Herbert B. Crosby, who has
supervision of the police and fire
departments.
Lieutenant Varney, because of
his meritoriouS work as aid to the
Commissioner, has been elevated
and transferred to the Tenth pre-
cinct. The change it is thought
will take place before the end OF
this week. He was recently pro
NOTED from a detective sergeant.
The job of aid to the Commits
sioner is a new one. II was Gre
ated by Mr.. Crosby soon after he
became Commissioner by PreSi-
dent Hoover. Varney was the first
man to hold the post. Before
Crosby took office, the Commits
Sioner in charge of the Police De-
partment transacted all business
and turned all complaints directly
over to the Police Commissioner
and superintendent.
Crosby decided he would do
away with much of the unneces-
sary red tape. and he decided that
he could get in closer contact with
the department if he had an aid
who could act as laison officer for
him.

less DRINKING,
SAYSPRATT 7

Major Pratt, superintendent Of
police, and Inspector Shelby say
liquor drinking Is on the de-
crease here.
Testimony given by these police
officials before the House Appro-
priations Committee during con-
Sideration of the District bill
shows that committee members
wanted expert opinion on the
prevalence of drinking here.
Testimony was taken in executive
session but the published record
covers more than .1,100 printed
pages. Buried therein is colo
guy between committee members
and the police officials.
Representative Collins asked:
as liquor drinking on the i'm.
crease or decrease here"
Superintendent Pratt said that
was a hard question to answer,
but added:
Harder to Find.
"Well, 1 think from the in.
formation we have it is on the
decrease. That is based on
the fact we have q rowing
squad, Sergeant Little with
three men, and they arc in
high-pOwered automobiles and
out patrOlling at all hours.
"He reported to me recently
that about six months or q
year ago he would encounter
half dozen bOOtIeggers dur
ing the night trying to get in
tO the District, and 1t was no
trouble at any time to go out
and have a liquor chase.
'But now he says they go
out night after night and do
not see anybody all night, and
when they do find one on the
streets and chase him the
streets are cleared for the rest
of the night" >
Major Pratt said the number
Of prohibition arrests, of course,
does not show the quantity OF
liquor being drunk, but he
thought consumption was on the
decrease.
Shelby Agrees.
The committee asked Inspec
tot Shelby what he thought about
it and he replied.
II believe fewer people are
drinking every year. In my
opinion here are fewer viola
tiOnS of the VOIStead law now
than there were a year or two
ago."
Arrests during 1929, the of.
ficials said, were somewhat lower
than those for several years back.

Difficulties in enforcing laws governing the mesh sizes of fish nets as result of variation in me- thods of measurement and manu- fracture, as we'll as the shrinkage of different materials, has led the U. s. Bureau of fisheries to request the Bureau of Standards to study the problem and to evolve if poss- ible uniform standard for each size of mesh but a uniform method of measuring the mesh both in the field and in the factory, a me- thod which is now wholly inde- pendent on the prejudice or views of the measurer.

many of these little stickers as

The seals cell for a penny each;
yet they provide the sole support
of the associations 1900 affiliated
organizations in all parts of the
United States in their fight against
tuberculosis. There isn't any rea-
son why there should be an ex-

work. The prevalence of tubercu-
losis is such a major problem and
the work. done by these organiza-
tions is so valuable to the entire

But Ham can curry one and battle
the other and he will make new
entrance into the old "Arena Del

It wasent only that he got back
in there, but it was the spectacu-

Christmas Complications
There was a time when Santa CLAUS
Was known to come by sleigh;
And tiny hopfs on housetops danced
Eager to be away.
The children, wise in mystic lore,
Knew every RENDERS name,
And Christmas eve for centuries
Found Santa's steeds the same.
But times have changed since we
were young,
And now the kids explain
That Santa drives a motor car,
Perhaps an aeroplane;
Still others think Zeppelin
Has set aside his sleigh,
But all agree he surely comes
In some new-fangled way.
