WARNING IS ISSUED

Tells of Current Petty
Investment Modes.

A warning to the public that the
"free lot" scheme which operated ex-
tensively several years ago, has started
I'D again In the District was issued yes
terday by Louis Rothschild, director of
the Washington Better Business Blu
reau. Mr.. Rothschild said this was
one of a number of petty investment
schemes that have been the subject OF
recent investigation Of the Better Busi-
ness Bureau.
The method of the free lot" agent is
to call at a residence, represent him
self or herself as from some real estate
concern, and state that as an adver-
Using proposition they. are taking the
names Of persons and that there viii be
a drawing at which lucky person will
win piece Of real estate. Those who
give their names are invariably win
ners, Mr.. Rothschild said, and later q
man calls, congratulateS them, and
makes an appointment for them TO view
their prize.
"When the winner finally gets to the
property" Mr.. RothSchild declared,
athe salesman viii say that it will cost
$50 to acquire title to the land. This
generally appears reasonable, where
upon the salesman points out that the
lot is only Is feet wide and that, Of
course, it is not practicable for building
purposes. Finally he offers to sell the
adjoining lot for $500, and thereby take
advantage Of their prize and get val
ued piece of real estate"
The free-lot scheme, Mr.. RothSchlld
declares, is Just q trick to sell two OF
these narrow lots, and in most cases 1t
is doubtful If a single lot is worth the

Navy
According to instructions issued by
the Secretary of the Navy, promotions
initially due under the provisions Of the
new Navy personnel law will be made as
of June S, on which date the gradu-
alton of the 1881 Naval Academy class
will take place. Under the law the lieu
tenant commanders that were selected
for promotion to commander by the
board that met last December who have
not made their numbers by the date OF
converting of the next Selection Board
will remain on the list of selectees and
they will not have to be considered by
the next board, as was the case under
the previous law. The last naval line
Selection Board, which met last Deem
Der, selected 81 lieutenant commanders
for commander, and a board of nine rear
admirals will meet on May is to recon-
mend 43 additional lieutenant command
ers for promotion. There will be no Sc
lections for the grades of rear admiral
and captain at that time. About $50 lieu
tenants, it is estimated, will be ordered
in June to report before boards in July
for examination to fill vacancies in the
grade of lieutenant commander.
The next regular Selection Board will
probably be convened in December, at
which time the numbers to be selected
will be in accordance with the provi-
sions of the act--that is, 10 per cent of
the next higher grade plus any vacan-
cies existing or that may occur prior to
the ensuing June 80. Present estimates
are to the effect that this year, under
the new law, there will be about 10
promotions to the rank of commander
in the Medical Corps and in the
Dental Corps and no advancementS in
other staff corps of the Navy.
A Selection Board, composed Of officers
of the Civil Engineer Corps CT the Navy,
will be convened at the Navy Depart
ment April 20 for the purpose of rec
ommending one officer of that corps for
promotion to the rank Of commander

PLAN TO AVOID RUM LAW
French See Hope in Condensation
Process of Grape Juice.

PARIS OP.-French wine-grape grow
ers see glimmer of hope that new
condensation process may enable them
TO market their product in the United
States in spite Of prohibition laws.
Experiments have shown that the I'M
fermented juice Of the wine grapes can
be condensed and, preserved as salts
factorily as mill, to be transformed
later into perfectly good wine Of au-
thentic French flavor. The condensa-
ton process costs only 20 cents for IS
gallons.
It is planned TO- try the system in
France TO reduce the cost Of transport
of wine in glass and in wood, both for
colonies and for foreign countries.
In the case Of foreign countries, 1t
is pointed out, the grape product, not
being wine. would benefit by low Gus
toms tariffs.
