ON AUTO TAGS

With the deadline set at mid
night tonight for the use of 1888
automobile license tags, a number
of District motorists will face ar
rest if they use their cars tomor-
row, it was said at the office of
Traffic Director William A. Van
DuZer.
The office closes, today at p. m.
and car owners who have not OBJ
tained their tags by that time will
not be able to get them until Mon
day. If they use their machines
in the meantime they face arrest.
The deadline for the use of 1888
tags was previously set at mid
night, December 81, but was ex-
tended week when it was seen
that a large number would not
have their plates in time. No
further extension will be granted,
it was said today.

COOPER BRANDS
BANK CHARGES
'FRAME-UP'
Treasury Officials Blamed
For "BroWbeating Attempt;
Funds Misuse Denied

Col. Wade H. Cooper, president
Of the United States Savings
Bank, stated today that the
Grand Jury investigation oi
charges that he miSapplied $4OO.
900 of Commercial National Bank
funds four years ago was the re
suit Of a frameup on the part OF
Treasury Department officials.
The jury heard the charges
yesterday against Colonel Cooper
and R. Bates Warren and, it is
expected, will make its report ir
the District Supreme Court or
Monday. Colonel Cooper said:
"The charges that United
States Attorney Rover has an
nOunced against me are the di-
rect result of a frameup plotted
by officials of the Treasury De-
Partment in an effort to brow
beat me into submission.
INDICTMENT ASKED

by evading the bank cOnServa-
ton act.
"SOOn thereafter 1 learned
these charges announced against
me had been Matched. I am
confident this frame-up Origi-
mated in the Treasury Depart
ment group whose indictment I
am seeking. am innocent Of
these charges. No matter what
action the Grand Jury takes, 1
will not be silenced in my ex-
pOSure of the infamy Of that
gang in the Treasury"
No Facts, Says Rover
Referring to Coloner Cooper's
statement to the effect that
charges against him resulted from
a "frame-up" by Treasury officials
after he had, sought their prose
cution, United States Attorney
Leo A. Rover said:
Colonel Cooper came to me
several months ago and in a
very general statement wanted
me to get conspiracy indict-
ments against many persons in
the Treasury. I asked him for
facts upon which to proceed.
He got in touch with me again
several times and. made the
request and / repeated my re-
quest for facts. He has not,
up to this time, produced the
requested facts"
The charges. it was learned,
originated in the merger Of the
Commercial National Bank and
the Continental Trust Company
in January, 1880.
It was alleged that seven divi-
dends amounting to sos, 900 we're
declared for the trust company,
and illegally paid out of bank
funds. It was also charged the
trust company unlawfully Dor,
rowed approximately 100000 Of

Others Are ViCtimized

Hold-up men were active again

cluding among their victims a
man whom police described as
collector for a numbers game
gambler. The collector lost $3.50,
he said.
Ernest winfield, 80, of the 1400

gun. The black-eyed gunman
took the $3.50 from him and fled
in an automobile with two COM

station at Twelfth and K Streets
Northwest early this morning,
knocked the combination from a
safe and stole $445, David r..
Lehman, owner, reported to po-
lice. Entrance was gained by
breaking glass in a window.
A thief, using duplicate key,
entered HerZog's Lunchroom, at
the Municipal Fish Market, and
stole $140 hidden under a cigar
counter. Frederick Gesler, pro-
prietor, reported the robbery when
he opened the store.
Three men held up Max Oxen,
600 block Elliott st. N. E.. near
his home last night, took $24
from him and fled in an auto
mobile, he told police.

large amount of such equipment.
William j. Alsop, 43; Joseph
Boteler, %, and Arthur Green, 20,
all colored, are held for inveStiga-
ton while police look into their

Attacked By Fugitive
Miles Wilcox is nursing a sore
head today, the result of a blow
inflicted by a thief he was pur-
suing from his brother Waldo'S
home in the 28OO block Chan
ming st. N. E. Miles saw the man
leaving the house and gave chase.
He had entered through a rear
door and stolen a purse contain
ing $40 and some papers. He
escaped.
Two old chairs, worth 5000,
were stolen from John Ruther-
ford, 1900 block Twentieth ST..

Chow Is Reared
For Food by
Chinese
BY LIZ HUME

Undoubtedly descended from
the Arctic dog, the chow halls
from the north Of China, where
they are used to draw sledges
and are also used for hunting.
Pictured on this page is
Chang, a chow belonging to
Mrs. Eva v. Much, Point Of
Rocks, Md. Chang is a little
over year old, and, accord
ing to his owner, is a watch
dog of the best sort.
Guarding Instinct
This instinct to guard pro-
perty has been bred into the
dog for generations.
The head and ears and gen.
eral expression of the chow as
well as their fur-like coat and
curled tail all indicate thier
relation to the Esquimaux.
They are sometimes referred
to as the edible dog of China,
from the fact that the Chinese
breed them for food, puppies
eight to ten months old being
selected for that purpose.
The name bestowed on them
-Chow-is the Chinese for
'have a meal" The chow, how
ever, is more than a "plat de
resistance" In his native land
he is used as a house dog and
to hunt the wolf and other
animals.
This interesting breed made
It's appearance in England dur.
ing the latter part of the last
century. Although Chows have
been brought to England and
other countries for some time,
it is only within the past quar-
ter Of a century that they have
been received with much favor.
Brave Spirit
There is a good deal Of char
acter to the chow. No dog has
a braver spirit or is more de-
voted to his master. They are
not, however, what one might
call sociable, and hold them
selves aloof from strangers as
well as their own species.
They are not quarrelsome,
but will not evade a combat,
and in a mix-up can hold their
own with any dog of their
size. It is said that their hon.
ing instinct is remarkable and
it is almost impossible to lose
them.
They will find their way for
miles through a country that is
new to them and if they be-
come separated from their
masters in crowd, will thread
their way through with the
utmost confidence in their own
ability until they find him. All
Of these traits are inherited
from their ancestors.

Gives Advice

Written Exclusively for The
Washington Times

One Wife's Problem
Dear Miss Fairfax:
May I ask to be advised in the
case of my husband and my
self? We are extremely fond Of
each other and we spend many
evenings together. But now and
then, it seems as if he goes on
a spree and stays that way for
one or two days. I keep house,
and help in other ways, to make
both ends meet.
When he goes on these sprees,
it wrecks my nerves; I can
neither eat, sleep nor do my
house work. I try to sleep, and
sometimes have short maps,
while waiting for him, from
which I awake with a Jump, ter.
rified, with horrible dreams.
The next day I am tired out,
not fit for my work.
I try to be a good fellow, and
have the name of being a good
mixer. When 7 tell him I'm go.
ing to do the same thing that
he does, he threatens to leave
me. Would you call me narrow.
minded, or justified in thinking
that he should not worry me
this way?
WORRIED (MARRIED).
There is every evidence Of sin.
cerity and good sportSmanship
in your letter. And at the same
time, an heroical desire to do
the right thing.
I hope a husband, who has SO
good a wife, without seeming to
appreciate it, will see her letter
and my answer. I see no reason
why he should continue such
Self-indulgence. He does not in
volve himself alone, but the wom-
an as well. She gets nothing
out Of it, but the anxiety, Sor-
row and the grief.
I would advise him to see q
physician, who may find that
medicine can offer a cure.

thOrity on problems Of loVe and

Optimist
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
This Restless Afternoon

This Restless Afternoon
I Ifidgeted each moment through,
This restless afternoon;
A dozen tasks I set to do
And finished all too soon.
I read a story, penned a note,
Then polished candlestickS;
I pinned a white rose at my
throat
And tried some new card
But slowly licked the stub
born clock,
While minutes Jagged along;
My eagerneSs each seemed to
mock
With times most tedious song.
I fretted while the seconds
went
From one o'clock till four.
Then, suddenly conferred con-
tent,
Your football at my door!
