1t is true, though, that your nat
ural talents are different from chose
of your associates. and, unless you
find the one thing for which you are
best qualified. you are certain to go
through the world dissatisfied and

On the other hand. you are quail
fed naturally to do one thing and
do it well, and your handwriting tells
the story OF what you can do.
Here. for instance, is a specimen OF
writing which shows that there is
literary talent in this mans nature.
In fact. this is the handwriting OF a
very famous fiction writer-and his
handwriting tells that he could not
be anything else.
Specimen No. is the handwriting
of another kind of nature, one that
could not possibly write stories or tell
them either. but there is just as

The East Room of the White
House is to have so Louis XIV
gold chairs, which, it is said, were
ordered at the instance of Mrs.
Hoover. The chairs are to be
upholstered in blue silk damask
with richly hand-carved frames.
Several hundred small, stiff
gold chairs are always supplied
in the East Room for muSicaleS
and on such occasions as first
showings of moving pictures.
Otherwise, anyone going into the
East Room, where Abigail Adams
hung the family laundry, must
sit down on uncomfortable Roman
benches or stand up. The new
chairs will be used on all occa-
SionS and at musicales where
ambassadors and other distin-

soldier and veteran of five major
engagements. today filed suit to
compel the Veterans Bureau to
carry out the terms of the
governments contract under a
fwar-risk insurance policy to pay
him monthly benefits during the

Both veterans are represented by
' Attorney Warren E. Miller,
formerly connected with the legal
division of the Veterans Bureau.
Traub was gassed at st. GILES
in August, 1918, according to
medical reports, and contracted
tuberculosis as a result. He has
been confined in hospitals almost
continuously since his dicharge,
? he says. He was rated permanent
ly and totally disabled for com
Spensation purposes in November,

FLAYED
Assistant District Attorney
Hart Refuses Papers in
Case of CoIored Women

Citizens walking along the
street should be reasonably safe
from being stopped and having
their effects searched. under an
opinion given by Assistant District
Attorney David A. Hart.
Hart'S opinion was rendered
yesterday when he refused to
make out papers in the case Of
Bessie Massey, colored. of the 100
block L st. N. w. The woman
was arrested by Policemen Henry
Renke and E. r. Shelton, of the
Second precinct, when they saw
her carrying suspicious black
bag along the street. The bag.
according to the officers, proved
to contain half-gallon jar of
liquor.
Thirty-five liquor cases 'vere
brought to Hart's attention yes
terday. In two of them, that of
the Massey woman, and that of
Virginia M. Harris, colored, 200
block Prospect. Ave-. the attorney
refused papers. The Harris
woman was arrested by police led
by John E. Burke, of the Seventh
precinct, when the officers raided
her home on a disorderly house
| warrant.
Wrong Warrant
After the raid, the officers
said. they found a small quantity
OF liquor. Hart refused papers
on the ground that diSorderly
house warrant does not give the
right to search. He advised the
officers to hold the liquor as evi-
dence in the charges Of maintain
ing a diSorderly house.
OF the SO remaining cases, only
two are Of any Importance, Hart
said. Most of them involve only
pint or a quart of liquor, and
it is hard to secure convictions
before a jury in such cases, he
pointed out.
OF the two important cases. one
involves Mario Matters, 80. of Alex.
andria. He was arrested by Sergt.
George Little and his squad after
the officers said they had pursued
him from Ninth and N Streets
Northwest to Tenth and M Streets
Northwest. The man is alleged to
have told the officers that he fled
because he thought they were
"Stick-up men," and that he had
some "old whisky" he did not
want to lose.
|. Rare Whisky Found
Search of the car is said to
have revealed IL bottles of King
George Scotch. IL bottles of Cor
don Rouge champagne and O. =?
bottle of creme de menthe. He is
charged with possession of liquor
and speeding.

TELLS
CITIZENS THAT
DEFICIT NEARS
Auditor Explains Necessity
for Retrenchment, If City
Would Live Within Income

The District is in the posi-
ton, under the 1881 budget, Of a
man spending all his salary and
exhausting his bank account to
cover still further expenditures.
This was revealed today when
Major Daniel j. Donovan,
District auditor, said current re-
venues of the District will fall
approximately $4,000 short Of
covering expenditures proposed
under the 1881 budget. There
will be no deficit. however, for
surplus fund of approximately
$4,500,000 will be on hand on
July l, 1880, when the 1881
budget takes effect. This will
cover the shortage of funds.
Surplus Nearly Gone
After 931, if expenditures con-
tinue on the sam; or a greater
level, there will be no surplus on
hand and the only way to meet
them will be to increase tax
rates.
The present rate of $1.7O win
probably have to be increased to
50, Donovan said. in 1882.
Auditor Donovan, in a speech
last night before the Mid-City
Citizens Associations, made these
predictions and today said he will
appear before the Federation Of
Citizens Associations Saturday
night to speak again on District
expenditures.
Deficit FOrseen
In making these speeches, Dom
ovan said, he is taking the oppor-
tunity to remind citizens asSo-
Citations that recommendations
for increased expenditures made
or which may be made by them,
will. if carried out. drive the Dis
trict to a deficit in funds. He
said:
"It can only be covered by an
increase in taxation or by haV-
buC CCuCEdI OOVCTuIUCuG
supply the difference"
Many public improvements"
are suggested by members of citi-
zens' groups with seeming little re-
gard for resulting increases in
taxes, he intimated.
Taxes Sure to Rise
If this existing surplus Of funds
of $4,500,000 is exhausted by the
end of 1881, there will be no way
to meet further increases in ex-
penditures except by an increase
in tax rates.
The proposed $15,OOO.OOO loan
to the District by the Federal
Government to finance construc
ton of the Municipal Center will
inevitably result in increased taxes
| in future years, it was pointed out.

ELECTORATE TO VOTE AT POLLS
ON Three Mill TAX LEVY And
A Three MILLION BOND issue
MONTANA CUSTODIAL INSTITUTIONS
OVERCROWDED; STATE SCHOOLS
REQUIRE IMPROVEMENTS

The electorate of Carbon county
and Montana, on Nov. A will be
called on to express itself relative
to a three mill tax levy for the
support of it's educational insti-
buttons and likewise on bond is
sue of $300,000,000. The millage
levy is to replace one which is a.
bout to expire.
The proposed bond issue is sub
mitted to the people on the ground
that the custodial institutions of
the State are badly over-crowded
and are not serving the purpose
for which they were established
the recovery to society of the in
mates. The claim has been advane-
ed that inmates Of the State pris-
ons have become brutilized to the
ultimate degree by over-crowding
and that on their return to society
they become a greater menance
than before their first commit
ment. The revolts that have occur
ed in several State prisons during
the recent months are charged to
over-crowding-placing of two men
in cells that are barely large en-
ough to accumulate one prisoner.
Similar conditions exist at the
State Orphans Home at Twin Br-
idges, the Montana tuberculosis
Hospital at Galen, and the blind,
deaf and dumb asylums at Boulder,
according to legislative and other
investigating committees. The over
crowding at Warm Springs is de-
clared by residents of the Deer
Lodge valley as little short of scan
dial. No blame can be attached to
the state administration, it is con-
coded, since the amount of money
required is large and can be only
assured in the usual manner by
bond issue.
