Enactment Of q modern sales act for
the District, along the lines Of the uni
form act being sponsored by the Ma
tional Conference of Commissioners on
Uniform State Laws, Is proposed by
Assistant Corporation Counsel William
A. Roberts. in a statement placed be-
fore Corporation Counsel w. w. Bride.
He asked that the suggestion be
placed before the District Commission
ers for transmission to Congress. The
proposed uniform sales act, as spon-
sored by the national conference, has
been approved by the Federal Bar AS
sociation, he said.
Has No Clear Law.
In his statement to Bride, Roberts
said: "As you know, the District OF Co
lumbia has no clear law Of sales. Con-
fiicting decisions on numerous matters
and the absence Of statutory laws COW
ering many other types Of transactions
have been q decided disadvantage to
our merchants and to their customers.
you will note that the present
amount constituting the maximum for
an oral transaction under the statute OF
fraud is $50, whereas in the uniform
act the equivalent amount Is liked at
$500 In accordance with the practice IN
innumerable States. Obviously the lin
itation inherited from the medieval
statute of frauds should not be con-
tinued In this day when oral transac-
tions for amounts far in excess of the
maximum here fixed are the regular
course OF business"
Modernixation Of Code.
Roberts believes that II Congress
passed the uniform sales act, the next
step In q modernization Of the District
code as related to business practices
should be the enactment Of q new con-
ditional sales law, designed to protect
the equity Of the purchaser In pur-
chased product, such as an automobile,
In case there Is failure to complete all
Of the payments. This plan would call
for sale Of the product In case Of de-
fault. a
The conditional sales act would be In

Twenty couples-Iovely South
ern bellies In swaytng hoopskirts
and 20 young officers in Confed-
crate uniforms-were gliding mer-
ri1y over q ballroom floor IN a
lively old-fashioned square dance.
In the center Of the floor,

he got Stage-fright and tried to
quit his job. But he is the only

"We're just having little run of
tough luck. My bEeak'n come
SOON" ..
It did. Sooner than either Of
them expected. A producer who
still had little faith in Ed gave
him another chance in a musical.
Forgotten were the lean days and
the debts. There was a flaShy
roadster-an imported job-that
Ed simply had to have.
The show was scheduled to
open in Philadelphia. Ed and
Dolly drove down in the new
car. The man had been drink
ing heavier than usual that
night. AS the car tore along
the road, Dolly begged him to
let up a bit on the speed. Ed
laughted at her drunkenly. The
laugh died in his throat and be-
came a terrified gurgle.
There was a horrible, s1cken-
ing swerve, the sound Of smash
ing glass, and a woman'S shrek.
Dolly was dead when they drag
ged her from beneath the wreck
age.
In the year that followed,
there was scarcely sober
moment for Ed. But no matter
how heavily he drank, there was
one thing he couldn't blot out OF
his consciousness. That was the
sound of Dolly'S scream.
Just what caused the man TO

wasn't easy. It wasn't easy,
either, to get another chance to
porve that he was entirely IN
earnest.
But now Jake was offering him
fifteen weeks in vaudeville. An
opportunity for comeback. Pro
vided, Of course. that he'd keep
away from the booze.
"You try me and See," Ed prom
ised. "It'n never ruin another
chance for me-
He swore that to himself over
and over as he left the office: He
wasn't a complete fool: Liquor
had ruined everything he'd ever
had, It had ruined his chances
of success. It had been respon-
Sible for Dolly'S death.
"But it won't ever spoil any"
thing for me again" Ed told him.
self.
He placed his hand to his head.
For a moment, he had felt dizzy.
Regular meals hadn't been q habit
with Ed during the past few
months. But he'd been too proud
to ask Jake for an advance.
He stepped from the sidewalk,
irving to fight off the spell OF
weakness. A horn shrilled sud
denly, but he didn't jump IN time.
Brakes shieked, too late. The
figure of the man lay huddled in
the gutter.
They told Ed at the hospital
that he would never dance again.
His left leg had been crushed un-
der the weight Of a truck. 1t was
doubtful If he would even walk,
except with the aid Of clutches.
Jake came, because he and Ed
had been good friends once.
Tough part Of it is" he stated.
"you amt even got q chance for
a suit. You stepped right into
the patch of the truck. They
might be willing to settle for a
few dollars, though, rather than
let it 60 to court"
Ed asked him a question. The
other man sighed.

Fifteen Weeks
81 got your call, Jake. You got
something for me?"
The man behind the desk
lowered his feet and removed the
cigar from between his teeth.
"Yeh." he said slowly, II can
book you for fifteen weeks" He
shook his head. But I dunno.
I gotta be sure everything's gonna
be all right, Ed
Listen" Ed was twisting his
hands together nervously. I'm
better now than I ever was. You
know what I can do, Jake. AS
for that other business" his voice
trailed away quietly, that's all
over"
"You sure?" Jake raped out
the words.
"Sure!" Eds voice was firmer
now. Don't you worry about me.
I'm cured Of that stuff. I haven't
touched a drop in months. It
amt been easy, I'll tell the world.
But I learned my lesson. You
know what booze does to me. It
ruined everything for me, that's
what. But no more. It'll never
spoil another thing for me again.
"I'm going to make a real
come back, Jake. Just gimme
the change" :.
If you had known the man ten
years ago, you wouldn't have be-
lieved that he could speak so
humbly. Ten years, a short
enough space of time. But it
had been practically a lifetime
for Ed Blake.
Ten years ago, he had had a
featured spot in Broadway mus
ical show. He could sing fairly
well, but it was his dancing that
put him over. True, he wasn't
nearly as good as he believed.
But he had a good chance at q
successful future, chance that
he flung away because Of a weak
ness he developed.
It was a common enough weak
ness. Liquor. There were so
many people to buy him drinks
then. So many parties. And al
ways enough money to indulge
himself.
After the show closed, the next
booking wasn't so easy. Agents
and producers were a little afraid
Of Ed. It was then that he began
to hit the Skids. Up to that time,
he had been pretty good hoofer.
Now he was merely another
hoofer.
Dolly was a most extraordinary
wife. She didn't nag or weep or
walk out when the going was
tough. She stuck with Ed and
tried to help him over the rough
spots. She pointed out gently
that he was running his career.
She begged him to get a grip on
himself. But by that time it was
too late.
There were a few engagements
in the cheaper sort Of joints. A
few weeks now and then In
vaudeville.
1T won't be for long" Ed prom
iSed Dolly. Listen, kid, they'll
wake up on Broadway one of
these days, and we'll be riding
high Ggain."

rowfull..'. "Oh, Ed dear, can't
you see you're letting it spoil our
whole lives?"

 Mrs Laura Butler had been liv- ing with Irene Crasler at 229 Ab- bolt avenue until a few days ago. Then she decided to move and pocked up her things. But when she opened the bags, according to her story, gone from their resting place were the dresses and the other aforementioned articles.
 Woe is me-" said Laura to her self and accused Irene of the theft.
 T didn't see your dresses" said Irene, but I have got the sheets and I'm goin' to keep them till you pay me the two dollars you owe me-.
 Laura then had Irene arrested for theft and they both told their stories in court this morning.
 q never did see those dresses" said Irene, "and l wouldn't want them. Anyway" this with d naughty shrug, "I have enough clothes of my own. I have got the sheets, though, but she can have them. They're all dirty anyway"
 After judicial pause, Judge Mascola continued the case until Saturday morning, ordering Irene to bring in the sheets at that time. Exchanging proud glances, Irene and Laura left the courtroom SeparatelY
