She never had heard the

the sniffles of her daughter from
colds caught in going poorly clad
to school.
And then there was the boy to-
day, who, when taken home by a
Clothe- Child man, called to his
mother as he jealousy nursed his
bundles of clothing, Nom! Look
at this, would you.
His sister, dress fraying at
hens, elbows out at sleeves, eyed
him and the bundles. Then she
broke forth with,
Don't you think you're scrump-
tious."
But the boy will get even. His
sister awaits a Clothe-a-Child

take her and dress her as her

STRONGER wine
BY DRINK 0. K.
State Lifts 20 Cents Tax,
Limit on Alcoholic
Content.

Wines of higher alcoholic content
at lower prices were made possible
today under the first liberalization
ruling of Paul Fry, state excise di-
rector, dealing with the handling of
spirits.
Fry now has ruled that the 20
cents a pint stamp tax on forfeited
vines be lifted, a so cents a gallon
tax substituted and that wines of
any alcoholic content can now be
sold by the drink in duly licensed
places.
The change in the rules in revoIu-
tionary in light of those first laid
down for handling highly alcoholic
wines and liquors last week.
At that time, only natural vintage
wines could be sold by-the-drink and
the 20 cents a point tax was levied.
Fortified wines could be bought only
at drugstores where whisky was sold.
Mr.. Fray announced that under
the new rules, no attempt Will be
made to route wine through the i'm
porters. Any wholesaler can handle
wines of any alcoholic content pro-
vided he has paid $3.50 license fee
and posted a 81, 500 apaproved surety
bond to guarantee the so cents a
gallon tax collection.
No tax will be paid by retailer or
consumer direct. The retailer must
have a 500 per nit to sell on the
premises and another 500 permit to
sell blythe bottle wine to take out
Under each permit, a $1,000 bond
must be purchased.
This makes wine, almost with the
strength of liquor, available legally
at places where beer is sold, provid-
ing they have proper permits.
All that remains under the ban
now is whisky, which still must be
bought at drug stores.

set pace as player that has carried
the team through the rough spots of
the early and middle season into q
winning stride.
Enthusiastic Washington fans have
been anticipating the winning Of the
pennant by applying for seats at the
world series long in advance of the de-
cision. 1t is now announced that all
these reservations must be scrapped.
Not until the home management has
the pennant won beyond reasonable
doubt will the books be opened for the
great classic event of the sport. At
the present rate of almost daily gains
over the nearest contenders that an
nouncement may not be postponed be-
yond Labor day. Washington has had
two world series and they have both
been highly profitable to the organ

be a material contribution to local
prosperity.

Moving Toward a Pennant.

Washington's pennant hopes are
strengthening daily. The last invasion
of the West for the season, has begun
propitiously for the home team, which
has won two games in row, while New
York, the nearest contender for the flag,
has dropped one. The span between these
two leading teams is now six and half
games. That is not yet surely win
ming margin. Mathematically the race
will not be over for many days to come,
but the percentages now strongly favor
a world series at the Capital this year
At this time year ago New York
was leading with winning percentage OF
$50, while the nearest team, Cleveland,
had .596, being ten and half games
behind. Washington was sixteen games
behind, in fourth place. The pennant
was conceded to New York, for that
high-geared, hard-slugging machine
was going at great pace. Its batters
we're pounding the ball, its pitchers
were performing splendidly, and its
f1elders were working like magic. But
age has told. That great machine is
now creaking and faltering. The
pitchers are not so battling, the sluggers
are not so fierce and sure in the attack,
and some of the fielders are, in base
ball parlance, playing on dime.
In contrast to this performance the
younger Washington team has replaced
the Yankees of year ago in every de-
partment. Batters, pitchers and f1elders
are doing for the Capital what last
years Yankees did for the metropolis.
The young pilot has inspired his crew
with winning spirit and himself has

Not that learning something new
about everything is so valuable IN It

It is worthwhile mostly because 1t

This is keynote among keynotes to

Why should any one limit himself (or

It is necessary to want to know.
Too many don't care!
They do not want to know, because
they have bound themselves down to a
few interests, and rejected the re-
mainder.
The remainder do not reject them,
however.
All that is necessary Is to want to
know about everything
Fortunately. there are some minds
born this way, which is happy thing
for them. They never require prodding,
but find material of interest and beauty,
Of dullness and Of horror, everywhere.
They may not find everything good.
