Such Taking Ways!

If some one says to you, ,"Why that
fellow would steal q red-hot stove If
you didn't watch him!' you'd prob
exaggeration because it's aDvious that
no one could ever do that. But a cap
tain of the Judge advocates court in
one sector of France is the authority
for this story:
"It happened during the recent cold
spell when some of our troops were
travelling from the seabOard to the in
terror. They trave ed in semi-open
horse cars and it was cold, id cold !
One train stopped in front of a small
railroad station and six soldiers with
cold hands and feet jumped from the
car and entered the waiting room.
"In the center of the room was a
large square coal stove with red-hot
ence. Then one man stOod on an
others shoulders and disjointed the
stOvepipe. At the same time two
others placed poles under the bottom
of the stove. lifted il off the floor and
walked out of the room with it. They
placed it in the horse car, stuck the
pipe out of one door and were warm
for the remainder of the trip. OF
course, the French authorities raised
a big row about it and presented bill
for 400 francs for the stove and the
coal in It, When the commanding Off
Ger heard the story he ordered the
bill paid without murmur. He said
it was worth every cent of it-fOr
American soldiers to prove that you
could steal a red-hot stove and get
away with it.
81 know of only one case to beat
that one or come anywhere near
eQualing it. That concerned the in
fantryman who stole hive full of
honey and took the bees along with it.
The medical department handled one
aspect of the case and the provost
marshal the other. The bees meted
out some of the punishment and we
stung his pay for COSTS"

A Hoodoo That Wasn't

If you are one of hose timorous in

of one evacuation hospital unit which
served over there. He will tell you
that there's absolutely nothing to that
superstition at all. If there had been.
not one of the men who served with
have come home. That number alone
would have been enough to prove their
undOing, not to mention the other
ways in which 13 figured in the MIS-
tory of that outfit. Here is what Jack
r. 9. Cam, a former member, now
Michigan newspaper man, has to say
about it:
Evacuation Hospital 13 was or
ganized by order of the War depart
ment and came into being January 13,
1918. The first promotions were l3
privates to privates first class. We
boarded ship at Newport News on the
night of July 13, 1913 and took l3
days and IA nights to cross to Brest.
Thirteens ran so persistently through
our company history that we began
purpOsely cOntriving to evolve new
situations in which the figures ap-
peared-such as placing 13 tents in
row, and so forth.
I'm January, 1919, we went on tour
in Luxembourg with company vaude-

$4,000 Item for Equipment
and Maintenance Dropped
in Conferees' Report.
100000 FOR PURCHASE
OF LAND is DOUBTFUL
Measure Carrying 100000 for
Improvements in Capital Awaits
House Action.

The item of $4,000 for equipment
and maintenance of schools for crippled
children in the District was dropped
from the first deficiency appropriation
bill in the report of the conferees, sub
mitted to the Senate today.
The conferees reported they were still
in disagreement on the other school
item of SlOO, 900 to complete the pur-
chase of lands for the Jefferson Junior
High School, but this project Is not
definitely eliminated, and goes back to
the House for further action. There
is still possibility of the House agree
ing to this amendment.
With the exception of four items still
in disagreement, the Senate early today
adopted the report of the conferees on
the deficiency measure, which carries
total of more than $172, 100000 to meet
urgent requirements of the various
agencies of the Federal and District
Governments. This total includes the
Senate amendment giving the Federal
Farm Board an additional $100.000,000
for agricultural relief, which has been
agreed to by the conferees.
The two school items mentioned
above we're the only important District
of Columbia appropriations that were
in dispute. The bill also carries nearly
81 900 for improvements in Wash
ington, both on Federal and District
projects, which were approved by the
Senate and House originally and, there
fore, not subject to conference. The
report of the confereeS now goes to the
House for action.
The $4,000 item for the schools for
crippled children was placed in the bill
last week as Senate amendment, but
was not agreed to by the House con-
ferees in conference. The appropriation
was recommended by the District Com
missioners who reported to Congress
that there was a need for special equip
ment for the two recently established
schools for crippled children, and also
a need for a nourishing lunch to such
children while attending school. The
item was to have been used for the bal
ance of this fiscal year and during the
fiscal year. 1881. It is possible it may be
considered again in a later appropriation
bill.

Having dreaded work on Sunday ever
since his filling station was robbed a
year ago, Sidney j. Cartvriendt, 80, an
employee of the Standard Oil Co. at it's
station at Fifteenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue southeast, jokingly told
a policeman last night that he might
need protection. He was taken serious

silver coins in steel-guarded opening

door.
A few minutes after z o'clock this
morning Cartvriendt was beaten I'M

Slugged him as he stood with his back
to the station entrance, his head almost
in the safe. While an air compressor
pump operated noisely in corner
drowning out the noise, the intruder
rtfhed the safe OF approximately $3.50
and fed.
Cartvriendt regained consciousness in
a few minutes. Rubbing a lump on the
left side of his head with one hand, he
pulled telephone receiver from its
hook with the other and called Police"
Policeman R. l.. Eubanks of the fifth
precinct responded and with Detective
T. M. McVarry, ;.lSo of No. S, ques-
toned Cartvriendt at length.
