Busy Session of
 Works Board
Demand for Improvements Not Lessened By Dull
 Times

The board of works held a busy session at the regular meeting at city hall last night. Many petitions for improvements were read and the members heard explained a proposed new ordinance change dealing with street and sidewalk excavation.
 The ordinance change advocated by Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor provides that plumbers shall in the future file surety bonds in the amount of $10.000 whenever they need to excavate a street or sidewalk. At present they are only required to file bond of s3000 and most of the time 1t is a real estate bond which does not hold. Mayor Hayes said MT O'Connor is insist ent because the city is getting stuck with heavy judgments in damage suits arising from falls on sidewalks and in depressions in the walks. The board deferred action on the change until is is redrafted to take care of those whose bonds are posted and which are good bonds.
 The board voted to comply with the petition of Harry s. Coe of Eastfield road, asking for an ex- tension of the water main of 500 feet to take care of his property. He will pay for the cost of the pipe and the excavation and filling In he said, if the city would lay the pipe. The matter was referred to Street Superintendent Thomas J. Fleming and Engineer Charles Root for an estimate of the cost.
 A communication was received from the board of education stating the latter had received a petition for the layout and grade of Hill street extension for school children.
 The letter said the children of \the Pearsalville section of the city are required to use that road to go to the Mary Abbott school.
 Superintendent Fleming will in- spect Spruce Brook road leading to Greystone. Commissioner c. Arthur Dubois stated several had asked him to have the road widened so access couNd be made more easy for automobiles. A petition for layout and grade of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire avenues was referred to the street committee. The superintendent of streets was instructed to extend the water main to the home of Mrs Nora Yugaitis of Popular street, who presented her petition last evening.
 The street committee had refer red to it the petition asking for the oiling of Melbourne terrace; lay out and grade of Beverly avenue; the lighting committee, petitions Tor lights on Carver street and Fairlawn avenue; water committee, petitions for water on Hillcrest and Downes streets and Mason ave- nue.
 Dr Godfrey. health officer sug- gested in the interest of sanitary improvement the construction of 300 feet of sewer on Charles street.

 These Turkish tobaccos are blended, in just the right amount, with Domestic tobaccos. It is this blending and cross-bIendng of just the right amount of Turkish and Domestic tobaccos which gives Chesterfield flavor that neither possesses alone.

Turkish tobacco is to Cigarettes what Seasoning to

Larly in the l7th century, tobacco seed from America was taken Turkey. Different soil, different climate, different temperatures night and day, and different farming methods produced entirely new tobacco-small in size, but very rich and aromatic.
 This tobacco is known generally as Turkish to. bacco; but there are many varieties of Turkish as there are kinds of apples.

POISONED APPLE
TRAIL LEADS
To VIRGINIA
Health Officials Condemn 81
Hampers; Arsenic Found
On Fruit

sixty-seven hampers of apples
were condemned by District
Health Department officials TO-
day when the skin of the fruit
was found to bear a residue con-
tanning arsenic.
The apples, seized yesterday at
a public market, were brought to
Washington from near Charlottes-
vile, Va, officials said, and ap-
parently had been sprayed with
a poison solution to kill insects.
A watch will be kept for the
man who brought the apples to
the District, and he will be ques-
toned. If it is found that he
merely acted as a carrier to bring
the fruit to market, an effort will
be made to trace the fruit to its
source.
On the other hand, if the man
who brought the apples here is
found to have grown them and
known they were poisoned, he may
face prosecution.
Meanwhile, a check is being
made to determine the identity of
the Maryland farmer who brought
81 hampers of poisoned cabbage
to a market here two days ago.
The cabbage, seized by the Health
Department, showed a heavy de-
poSit of arsenic on the leaves.
