DOW ON STAND
At BOWLES'
TRIAL

BALTIMORE, May % G.N.S0.
Government witnesses continued
to ascend the stand today in
United States District Court
where Norman S. Bowles, OF
Washington, is on trial charged
with having failed to file an in
come tax return in 1880, and
with having filed false return
for 1881.
The prosecution apparently was
attempting to show that Bowles'
income for 1880 was sufficient to
have justified the filing of re-
turn. Thus, William j. Dow,
former Washington attorney. tes-
titled that in May, 1880, he pre-
Sented a $4,000 claim on behalf
of Mrs. Marie Low, who had
charged a serious offense against
a wealthy Washington apartment
house owner. Mr.. Dow said that
he retained $1,000 as his own
fee and turned the remainder
over to Bowles.
Following Mr.. Dow, Mrs. Low
testified that Bowles had given
her only $500 of the $4,000 re-
manning from the settlement.
Bowles is acting as his own
attorney by permission Of United
States Judge w. Calvin Chestnut.

The rivalry between Mrs. Whit
ney and Mrs. Guggenheim broke
into print during the National
Capital horse show, in Washing
ton, May 10, II and IL. 1t con-
tinued at the Atlantic City horse
show, which closed last Saturday
night. Now it bids fair to wax fur
iously here at the Devon show, one
of Americas outstanding events
for so many years that Chinese
counting machine would be re-
quired to tabulate them.
Started At Capital
There are angles and angles to
this Whitney -Guggenheim rivalry.
The story is best told by going
back to the National Capital horse
show for a beginning.
AS the National Capital got
under way, it was obvious that
Mrs. Whitney's favorite hunter
was the great gray gelded son Of
Royal Canopy-Bonnie Cause, The
Grey Knight.
This eight-year-old star had won
so many blues for Mrs. Whitney,
and 50 many grand champion
ships, that the mistress of Liam
gollen had lost count of them. He
was rated Americas outstanding
hunter.
1t was just as obvious that Mrs.
Cnnuonhoivoo' fouo1ito hl1ntor MO
Firenze Red Tape. seven-year-old
brown gelded son of Light Brigade
Persian Maid. The handsome Red
Tape had won many blues since
the first day he stepped into the
show ring as the property and
favorite of DR.. Lewis M. Allen, of
Winchester, Va, his breeder.
Prior to the National Capital
there has been talk of a duel be-
tween The Grey Knight and Red
Tape for the grand championship.
Mrs. Whitney's friends and fol-
lowers pooh-poohed the idea, claim
ing The Grey Knight stood alone
as Americas premier hunter.
Came the National Capital. The
Grey Knight entered the ring
numerous times only to fail to
dlaw a blue ribbon. Instead,
the great gelded son of Royal
Canopy received only one second,
two thirds and two fourths. Whit
ney enthusiasts were stunned.
Red Tape Wins
On the other hand, Red Tape
won blues left and right. At the
conclusion of the second day of
the National Capital, wagers of

 Tho weight of many fruits and vegetables is m aid in determin. Ing the quality of tho commodity. too. Small heads of lottuce or cabbage arc heavy if sold and firm through the center. Heavy oranges and grapo fruit arc sure to bo juicy. Fresh products arc heavier than wilted ones. Also fewer large apples or potatoes ft into q meas- ure than small ones, often making half a bushei of potatoes weigh less than its prescribed number of pounds.

A youn man wrote to one of the magazines asking if t pald to be honest.
 The magazine turned the letter over to tho public, that is, pub lished 1t and offered prizes for thy best answers.
 Naturally, most of the advice given the eighteen. .year.old youth was in the affirmative, although the reasons given varied. s
 The prize winner was another young man of twenty-four. His letter was intelligent, but 1 take one exception to it and my com. plnint applies to all of the dis. gruntled young people of to-day.
 He bears down repeatedly on the dishonesty of our forefath. ers." And he planes them for getting the world into such mess.
 Hypocrisy Still With Us
 We may have to agree with him up to a certain point It Is truO that there has been much hypoe. risy In the past and that 1t is still
 But am Q lItle tired of the complaints of youth in general to. day about its forefathers. And very tired Of their being used as an aiibl. It Is too bad these young mon and women arc turned 50 sour In c land that it took sweat and blood and heartbreaks to crento.
 "Whnt chance have we," they dc. how much finer we are than our 'forbears.' "We will put them in their place and run tho world as 1t should be run. No more bunk for us. Wo will live and think and act as honest men and women should and mot pose as hypocriti- cal Bhints who took for their motto After us the doluge'."
 Conceding that many of the old guard were all that, 1 would like to suggest that theso same young. stors review . few things.
 Struggling E0rcfathers
 Since there has been c country, some hundreds of millions of fn- thefs have worked as hard us they know how from oight to twelve hours c day, fed their families and clothed and sheltered them and wore old shiny suits and worn.shoes, in order to pay tho ront and the butcher.
 Some millions of mothers havo toiled from dawn to dark and aft. CT, with never . now stitch to their backs. They paid their bills and did What They Thought Was Right to the best Of their strength and ability. Hcncst--every one of
 They paid taxes either directly, or indirectly in rent, NO thero could bc schools to educate Bourcd postority to call them hypocritcs
 Too bad these people made such q mess ct things. Too bad they left Buch loan pickings for the youth of to-day. And too bnd our "f0rofathcrs" in power could noe always keep an economically bnl- anced world.
