An injunction to prevent the

The petition will state that
while the ordinance which re-
quires that a $1,000 fee for H.

addition to State and county
taxes is valid under ordinary
circumstances, it is unconstitu-
tional in this instance because it
conflicts with the State law
which takes jurisdiction from
local governments.
Having paid a Federal tax and
received State licenses from Clay

had overruled the objections
against them, the merchants find

Giant Circus Ends It's Stand
In Washington Tonight

This is the last day to see the
circus-and it is a circus, replete
from clowns to elephants.
Tonight, when the great lights
are dimmed and the enthusiastic
crowds have started homeward,
the big top will be struck down
and the hundreds of employees
who are not seen in festive garb
will swing into action, packing up
for the move.
But before that time thousands
of Washingtonians will once more
enjoy the thrills that only a
circus can give.

death in their amazing stunts

that bring laughs even in the
dismal days of financial worry,
prancing horses, music, popcorn,
peanuts-yes, it is the circus of
old, bigger and better than ever.
But tonight ends the brief two

moves on, leaving only the

But for PeteS sake, Smallwood doesn't

He has been in Congress too long to

greatly desired for furniture and other
manufactured articles.
As group these elns are easily dis
tinguishable from other trees, but
among themselves they are too much
alike and make identification rather
difficult.
There are Is kinds Of elms known to
the world Three Of them are important
and are native trees throughout large
portion Of the United States. To these
three trees we have added the English
end Scotch elrns, both creditable addi-

1t is claimed that the American elm
Is probably our best known and beloved
tree, because it is so friendly and i'm
presses one with the true spirit of
America.
The crown of this tree is usually
formed of many branches which extend
themselves in such a fashion that they
form a funnel The smaller branches
subdivide into smaller ones, which reach
upward and then down again. and in
this way remind you of the weeping
willow.

buds of the same color, the grayish-

the tree, with its bare branches, is
covered with the dangling bells. Later,

The leaves ovate in outline, pointed
bharply at the apex. heart-shaped at
the base, and distinctly toothed along
the edges, are distinctive, and ar
ranged along the slender brown twigs

Those who live in Eastern North

It is too individual not to recognize it.
