Almost, Perhaps

Sometimes, / sense the promise Of great fame,
Or Fortune at my portal gently taps,
But, when I rise to open for that dame,
1 merely hear that awful word. perhaps.
Sometimes, / stretch my hand to take the prize.
Or venture to indulge some reckless boast,
Then every cherished hope within me dies
For l but hear that painful word, almost,
Perhaps, O, may its praises long be sung,
almost, for disappointment wears the crown;
The former builds up hope in old and young;
The latter comes along and tears it down.
Take courage if a hero you would be:
The greatest heroes of life's mighty host
Are those who struggle, far from victory,
To overcome that barrier, LIMOS"

YEGGS GET S1,2DO
BY NITRO BLAST
Safe Blown at Service Sta

them, since they managed to blast open
the safe without breaking the windows.
Police believe one man worked in

kept a lookout on the street.
No tools or equipment were left on
the premises. The intruders probably
muff1ed the explosion with blanket
which they took with them.
The electric wire which exploded the

The robbery was discovered this
morning by the manager, George M.
Carrico of 1907 E street northwest

Civil War Bomb
Blows Off Hand
Of Boy at Play

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND, Md, June as
Russell Lybarger, aged 1S, is in
Timmins Hospital here where he
submitted to the amputatlon of his
left hand, which was shattered by
the explosion of Civil War bomb.
His condition is good.
The Lybarger family resides in the
country, near Bedford, and for the
past 13 years had used an old
Army shell for a door stop. The
young man was attempting to chisel
dirt out Of an opening of the sup
posed empty shell when it exploded.
1t proved to have been a loaded
bomb, made of iron an inch thick,
inches long and 4 inches in
diameter. The report was heard
nearly mile away and the smoke
arose above the roof of the house.
The explosion tore a large hole in
the ground.
1t is supposed the shell was
brought from Gettysburg in the
sixties by a member of the family
of the late Joseph w. Tomlinson,
who owned the farm at that time
and who had attended the Gettys-
iN'i~C Tfaoln~'~sl Ser9i0svv.

RICHARDS DENIES
D. c: ASSESSMENTS
WILL Be LOWERED
Only 800 Out of 10000 Own
erS Appeal Following Sales
Below Tax Mark.
PERIOD, LIKE THAT
OF INITIATION, MINOR
Hearings to Be Given by Tax As
SCISSOR Probably at Beginning
of Next Week.

Assessments on real estate will not
be decreased as a result Of the sale Of
SONS parcels at less than the assess
ment fgure, William P. Richards, tax
assessor, said today.
Mr.. Richards was commenting on
rumors that the depression would force
down the levels Of assessments, since
the law requires the property in the Dis
trict to be assessed at 100 per cent Of
its value.
He said that the assessment never
quite equals the value and that in pc
riods of inflated prices the assessment
Tags below sales prices, and in periods
OF def1ation, the assessment rises above.
The matter is not of great impor-
tance at this time, he said, as only 300
appeals have been filed by the 5000
real estate taxpayers this year. This
compares with 4,500 in 1914, the maxi
mum year, and about 800 last year.
These appeals will be heard probably
beginning next week.
Counterbalancing appeals for reduc-
ton in assessment, Mr.. Richards point
ed out that there were also appeals for
increases. The latter type come from
those whose property is about to be
bought or condemned by the Govern
ment, in order to bolster their case for
higher condemnation award.
The class of cases to which the as
sessment appeals board lends the most
sympathetic ear, Mr.. Richards said, is
where there is an inequality of assess
ment, so that one block is assessed con-
siderably higher than the surrounding
blocks, for no convincing reason. He
added that general reduction of as
sesSmentS would help the taxpayer not
at all. The result Of this would be
that in order to yield the same amount
OF taxes, the tax rate would have to be
raised, and the property owner world
pay the same amount in the long rim
