impressive name of MelaniStic Mutant,

ago by an Ohio game breeder, and will

imported pheasant should prove most
satisfactory to the SportSmen who pre-
fer difficult shooting conditions and

FIRES THREE SHOTS
AS BANDITS ESCAPE
Grocer, Without Trousers
and Shoes, Pursues Quar-
tet of Robbers.

Undaunted by the fact that foul
bandits had forced him to remove hi:
trousers and shoes after robbing him OF
approximately $35, John Maranian, pro-
prietor of grocery store at 2O1 Morgan
street, chased the robbers nearly q
block in last nights cold and fired
three shots at them.
Maranian was preparing to close his
store, at about 10 o'clock, when the
first member of the foursome. all OF
whom were colored, entered and asked
for package of cigarettes.
AS he gave the man the cigarettes
and change for quarter, two others
entered. The first man suddenly pro-
duced pistol and, showing 1t into the
grocer's abdomen, backed him into a
corner.
The fourth man, on guard outside the
door, peered in the door every few min
utes, Maranian said, while the others
emptied his cash drawer and helped
themselves to several cartons of Gig
'arettes. After ordering him to remove
his trousers and shoes the bandits fled.
II grabbed my gun from behind the
counter" the grocer related, land
started after them. They were some
distance away by the time got out
their direction, in the hope they would
stop. They soon outdistanced me,
though, and disappeared into an alley. !"
Maranian's wife, Mrs. Marguerite Ma
ranian, and their three children
1-year-old twins and another child
little more than years old-were on
the floor above at the time of the
hold-up. Mrs. Maranian did not know
what had happened, however, until her

ARTIFICIAL FREEZING
HELD IMPRACTICABLE
Expansion of Ice on Rejecting Pool
Regarded as Danger to
Granite Walls.

The proposal to construct apparatus
for the artificial freezing Of the reflect
ing pool of the Lincoln Memorial to
permit Wastingtonians to have skating
regardless of the weather, is considered
impracticable by those who have unof-
ficially investigated the possibilities. II
Is known that there is feeling among
officials of the once Of Public Buildings
and Public Parks that the marshy
ground beneath the rejecting pool does
not permit of such construction as Is
planned by civic enthusiasts.
The floor Of the rejecting pool, it Is
explained, rests upon a marsh bed, and
due to the expansion of the bottom up
ward, provision has been made by the
engineers for this by the construction
of aprons" as they are called, on the
sides.
The granite coping, the engineers say,
is set upon piles that have been driven
down into the marsh land. Should the
rejecting pool be filled up with water
and this frozen by artificial means, the
expansion of the ice would mean that
the granite would be pushed of its
perch, in the opinion of those that eX-
press the view that the plan is imprac-
tical.
The sloping apron" at the sides of
the rejecting pool makes the ice thin
there and the skater putting on and
taking off their skates at that point tear
up the ice, which would be sufficiently
thick in the middle, but would be easily
destroyed at the sides.
