TAXICAB DRIVER FINDS BULLET
POCKET AFTER BANDIT FIRES
Ball Glanced OFF Rib, but
Chauffeur Isn't Sure He
Wasn't Hurt Badly.
Second Shot Went Some
Place, He Says, and He
Wants to Know Where.

Fired on twice and hit at least once
by colored bandit early today, Ralph
Orr, 26, a taxicab driver. will be happier
about the bullet he found in a coat
pocket over his heart when he can be
assured he is not carrying the other
bullet in his body.
Immediately after the hold-up, which
occurred in the 1900 block Of o street,
Orr's cab careened into an automobile
parked at the curb, and a passing mo-
torist hurried the driver to Emergency
Hospital, where he was given first aid
and assured the bullet had glanced of
rib.
On his way home Orr stopped in a
lunch room for cup of coffee. While
there he felt weight in the breast
pocket Of his coat, and a search re-
vealed S8-caliber bullet, battered and
still retaining a fragment Of cloth.
VIII Ask X-Ray.
There was hole through Orr's coat,
vest and underclothing just over a
flesh wound near the heart, but how
the bullet could have bounced back into
an outside pocket was still puzzling Orr
today.
Meanwhile, Orr moved gingerly about
his room at 1927 Fifth street, prepara-
tory to returning to Emergency Hospital
to ask an X-ray examination.
Shortly after midnight, Orr picked up
colored fare" at Fourteenth and L
streets. The passenger was dressed in
a brown bellhop's uniform and Orr was
not suspicious until, arriving in the 1900
block of o street. another colored man
Jumped on the running board when the
cab halted
The newcomer jerked the door open
beside Orr.

Dental areas.

block of c street northeast. The action
was taken on recommendation of the
Beverage Permits Board.

permitted to continue in operation so
long as the building is suitable for use
under "non-conforming" zoning clas-
siflcation. The Commissioners, however,
in their beer regulations, fbarred bever-
age sales in such stores. The two per-
mits were issued due to misconception

whereupon the armed bandit struck
him with his fist
Saved His Money.
Convinced the colored man did not
mean to shoot, Orr tried to save the
IS he had in his pocket by slipping In
the gears and stepping on the gas.
The bandit fired twice with his gun
almost against Orr's breast before the
speeding cab crashed into a car at the
curb. Both colored men fed and the
cab door was torn off by the impact
Incidentally, the owner Of the cab is
still searching for the door.
The copper jacket had been cut from
the nose of the bullet Orr recovered,
to make it spread on impact There
were no other wounds on Orr's body
and a careful scrutiny of the cab
failed to disclose where the other bull
let struck.
At any rate. Orr saved his IS and
got at least one souvenir, although he
lost good cab door and considerable
sleep trying to solve the puzzle.

member of the commission Mr.. Vitale
was appointed landscape architect
by President Coolidge on September %,
1927, and served until April 20, 1892
During his term Of Office Mr.. Vitale
rendered valuable service to the COM
mission and in matters pertaining to
his own profession he was ever ready
to give the benefit of his wide expert
ence and broad knowledge; he cham
pioned all worthy causes pertaining to
the arts.
BE it, therefore, resolved That the
Commission of Fine Arts hereby record
its recognition Of the high significance
Of the professional life and work of
Ferruccio Vitale and Of his important
part in the development of the fine
arts In general and of landscape archi-
lecture in particular. The commission
rejoices that his rare talents were made
available in the notable service rem
dered to the Government of the United
States; through the commission, over
period of more than four years.
1.-THE Commission of Fine Arts is
deeply sensible of the loss sustained by
the professions Of the fine arts and
directs that this expression of sorrow
be transmitted to the family OF Mr..
Vitale.'

DOES RHEUMATIC
AGONY DRIVE
YOU CRAZY?

You cannot hope to get lasting
relief from cruel, crippling rheu-
matte aches and pains If you are a
slave to laxative drugs.
Medical authorities make no secret
| Of the fact that often sluggish
bowels contribute the poisons and
acid conditions which result in pain
full, swollen, inf1amed limbs and
joints. You must stop these poisons
at the source.
The Cream Of Nujol treatment
does this at cost of only a few
cents day. Doctors especially rec
ommend this nev- form of Nujol
treatment for tho1e suffering from
rheumatic c.. -iitiCl Is. Cream Of
Nujol lubricates laxative-dried bow

are thrown off daily by natural
peristaltic action. The new HARM
