In the old-fashioned garden, herbs

Unconstitutional
Union Charges

Constitutionality of the new
taxicab rate schedule ordered by
the Public Utilities Commission
was attacked by the Cab Drivers
Protective Union today in a cir
cular announcing mass protest
meeting called for tomorrow
night.
The announcement set the
meeting time for 9 p. m. tomorrow
in typographical Hall, 423 G st.
N. w. 1t charged that the
20-30-5o-70-cent rate schedule is
absolutely unconstitutional" The
circular declares:
"Under the terms of the
order a cab driver could be
fined $500 for charging more
than 30 cents for trips between
the Navy Yard and Decatur or
Macomb Streets.
SLAVERY CHARGED
"Tf this order is allowed to
become law, it would legalize
slavery. A cab driver would
have to drive as many as eight
miles for 30 cents. If he charged
more, he could be jailed if he
failed to pay the $500 fine.

Iates the Thirteenth and Four

.FIREMEN HAVE
ABUSYL

$50! You think we have
nothing to do, do you?"
This, from a District fireman,
was the response which a Wash"
ington Times reported received to-
day when he ventured the opinion
that the life of a fireman must
be pretty soft.
Nothing to do, the reporter had
stated, except go to fires, and even
that was probably getting easier
all the time because the number
of fires in the District has fallen
off during the last few weeks.
The fireman, however, had other
ideas. He shifted his chair from
one position to another, propped
it back against the wall of the
firehouse, put his feet up on the
hub cap of a sleek, red piece Of
fire apparatus and stated:
"There'S plenty of work to
this racket, fellow, plenty! In
the first place, we have to clean
up the quarters every morning,
then do our calisthenics, polish
the engines, check them to see
that everything works all right
and a dozen other chores.
"That, of course, is just the
daily routine and doesn't take
into account the days when we
have special work to do. Why,
say, we have enough work to
keep us busy nearly all day even
if we don't make a single run"
And a little investigation on
the part of the now abject re-
porter showed that going to fires
constitutes only a small part of
the firemens daily routine. In
the first place, every man must
take Is minutes of calisthenics
as soon as he reports for duty at
8 a. m. After that comes the
business of policing" the fire
house; that is, cleaning up the
fire station.
All cleaning around a fire
house is done by the men as
signed to duty there. What's

Only one of every IL young men

BureIaries Of Homes
Decrease in the
Past Year

Apartment house rob5eries are
increasing in Washington, but
burglaries of private houses are
declining, statistics compiled by
the Police Department disclosed
today.
Average "hauls" of housebreak-
ers in Washington are growing
smaller, police reports show.
Conclusions were based on COM
parsons for April, May and June
of last year and this.
Brown Gives Views
Major Ednest w. Brown, Super
intendent of Police, said he could
offer no reason for the increase
in apartment house cases and the
corresponding decrease in rob
berries of private homes during the
three months period. He ex
planned:
"These things run in cycles.
Sometimes a 'tOothpick burglar
who specializeS in apartments,
will land in the city, and his
activities will run the apartment
theftS high for a month or so,
until he leaves the city or is
captured. On the other hand,
thief or gang may descend on
the private homes for q time
because that is their speciality
There's no other explanation
that I know Of"
283 CASES IN APRIL
In April there were 283 house.
breaking cases reported in the
city, At of which were in apart
ment houses and 80 in private
dwellings. In June the total num-
Der of cases had dropped to 246,
but apartment cases increased to
81 and residential cases dropped
to 81.
In April the total "swag" was
$19,182, an average of $68 per
job; in June the total was $13,257,
or an average of a little more than
$50 per job.
The statistical bureau has been
keeping this "breakdown" of
HOUSEKEEPING cases since April.
About 20 classifications are in
cluded in the breakdown, covering
housebreaking cases in various
kinds of stores, gas stations, ga,
RACES and chain stores.

Tetons Resemble Alps.

IT HAS been said that the only noun
tains in the world that look as
mountains should look are the Tetons
This range Is included in Grand
Teton National Park, in Western
Wyoming, one Of the newest Of the
national parks. The Tetons seem to
rise as sheer precipices from the
shores of Jackson Lake, without any
gradual incline to lessen the contrast
between the pinnacles and the plain.
Along the eastern base Of the Teton
range, protected by heavy forest,
are seven lakes of Alpine grandeur.
Six of them lie within the park
boundary.
Seen from the north, the massing
Of mountains resembles a colossal
cathedral, with the Grand Teton as
the central spire. From the south
and east the view Of this main peak
is strikingly similar to that of the
Matterhorn of the Alps.
Bordering the park on the east Is

terest and romance In pioneer days
this region was famous both as a

with peaceful dude ranches and only
the memory of the old turbulent

Dav of Rest Chaneed.

FROM the educational department

comes the information that the Turk
ish National Assembly will make Sum-
day and not Friday as heretofore a
compulsory day of rest. In February,
1924, Turkey introduced a compulsory
rest day and Friday was chosen. All
foreign administrations, banks and
official businesses had closed their
Offices on Friday since 1924 and
opened them on Sunday as a general
day of business. The choice of Friday
however, has proven unfortunate in
financial transactions, with the result
that Sunday will, beginning June /,
become the Turkish day of rest.

Lakes Unexplored.

CANADA still offers the sportsman
and particularly the fisherman,
virgin territory in which to apply his
art.
In Northern Ontario and Quebec,
north of the main line OF the Ca
madam National Transcontinental
Railway, lie thousands of lakes which
have not yet been visited by white
men. In some areas, fishing for
muskellunge, bass and other game
fish, has been confined to one or two
proved lakes while adjacent are hun
dreds of lakes which are yet untried
by sportsmen.
In the Canadian Rockies new lakes
are being discovered every year by
fishermen who wander off the beaten
track and discover waters full of fish
which have never sampled artificial
flies or bats.
No licenses are required for fish
ing in the national parks and bag
limits are generous. Every fisherman,
however, must register with the park
wardens and later report his catch.

The advanced program tells of elab-

in Singapore during May, where rep
resentatives of the many races will
participate. The city is to be flood
lighted similar to the flood-lighting

form a large portion of the native
population will join with the Malays

will be gay with Chinese lanterns, and
the piers will receive their visiting
ships by the combination decorations
contributed by all nationalities.
