 Said Scouty, "Watchl I'll quickly fix this elephant so he'll do tricks I'm sure that I can train him. He is such Q friendly sort.
 Eve heard that, if to beasts you're kind, and don't torment them, you will find that they will be real friendly, too. Here's where l have some sport"
 The Tinies watched him for c while and then fair Goldy, with a smile said, "Scouty must have magic power. This is quite show.
 "The elephant is standing high upon his hind legs. Me, oh myl What he'll be doing next. for little Scouty don't know"
 Then Scouty said, "Well, that's about enough for now. He's all tired out. I'm quite q clever trainer. Beasts are very fond of me.
 q do not mean to brag. Oh, mol But you have seen my little show, and how you can deny my claim I really cannot see."

 Brave Scouty laughed and promptly said. Don't fret. Depend on me, instead. I'll promise to take care of you, so stay upon the ground"
 "Oh, look" another Tiny cried. "A little tiger l have spied." And, sure enough, the beast was running not so far away.
 "Oh, ho I'm going to lasso him. I hope my throwing arms in trifn," said scouty. "You are going to see another act today"
 Before the Tinymites could say Q word, the lad was on his way. He drew close to the tiger and then Whirled his lasso round.
 In just c moment, out 1t flew, and Coppy cried, "Hurray for youl You've caught the little tiger, and you've pulled him to tho ground" Copyright, 1886, NEA Service, Incl

Property O,Oners
At North Beach
Register Here
Unusual Charter Spec.
ifes Facilities Be
Provided.

Some Washington citizens at least
can register in person for voting WITH
out leaving the city.
They are property owners at North
Beach, Md, a Summer resort 40 miles
from Washington on the Chesapeake
Bay. Any one who owns "at least
1000 square feet Of land" at North
Beach is qualified to vote there, ac-
cording to the towns charter.
A few Washington residents, who
vote in the States, register by mail
Most of them, however. must go to the
places where they will later cast their
ballots, by mail.
But in this instance, the unusual
privilege Is made mandatory by the
town charter. As q matter OF con-
yenience for North Beach property
holders who spend the cool months IN
the city, the charter sets forth that
registration facilities must be provided
In washington.
Because the franchise Of North
Beach is based principally on owner
shin of land, and the towns municipal
election is non-partisan. q registration
separate from that Of the State OF
MARYLAND is required. The majority
of the property owners are legal voters
In the State as well.
The final chance to register was
riyen yesterday from / to 0 pm. at
the Pythian Temple, 1912 Ninth street.

DISPUTE EVOKED
BY SAFETY ZONES
Question Raised as to Who
Should Pass on "Stream.
line" Style.

Plans of traffic officials to give a
streamlined shape to street car load
ing zones generally throughout the
District. revealed last night, immedi-
ately raised the question Of just what
municipal authorities shall pass judg-
ment on them.
Several conflicting views were ex-
pressed, but Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer appeared to have a
momentary advantage since a number
of the new type of zones already have
been established and work was in
progress yesterday on others.
The old-fashioned zones were
marked of in a rectangular pattern,
In the new style, the end nearest to
approaching traffic is cut down by a
sweeping curve. 1t is along this curved
line that the IS traffic buttons are
being placed, instead Of at either end
of the old-style rectangle.
There is a friendly dispute in prog
ress, 1t was revealed, as to whether
the Public Utilities Commission. the
District Commissioners. or both bodies
acting as the District Joint Board. OF
merely the office of traffic director
has the power to say in what shape
loading zones shall be painted.
This type of zone has been estab-
lished on Seventh street between
Pennsylvania avenue and K street
M. o. Eldridge, assistant traffic d.
rector, said he was under the impres-
sion the Utilities Commission had ap.
proved the program there. Two mem
bers of the commission, expressing
surprise, said the commission hac
passed no order on the subject.
Traffic officials also are having al
the loading zones on Wisconsin ave.
nue. from the District line to M stree
reshaped in this fashion. Utilities
Commission Chairman Riley E. Elger
said he didn't know who had approved
that program.
A plan for general use Of the new
type zones throughout the city, Elger
said, was filed with the commission
Friday. He said it had been referred
to the commissions counsel for study
as to the possible legal angles involving
accidents. He declined to give any
personal view of the new scheme. pr
or con.
The idea was developed some week.
ago when a group of District official!
made an inspection Of traffic contro
plans at Milwaukee, which has ar
enviably low traffic accident record.

NAME Of ACCUSER
OF BENNETT ASKED
Counsel of Architects Aide
Makes Demands to Block
Custer.

Disclosure of the identity of the per-
son or persons who preferred the
charges on which Charles A. Bennett
was discharged Friday as chief Of the
mechanical division of the municipal
architects Office was demanded last
night by his counsel, w. Gwynn Gar
diner.
This was outlined as part Of the
counter moves being planned by Gar
diner in the hope of upsetting the ac-
tion of the Commissioners should they
decline to grant public hearing on
all 18 charges lodged against Bennett.
Gardiner declared he believed he
had learned who it was that presented
written complaints to the Commission
ers, but was seeking some additional
proof" The complaints alleged that
Bennett. in drafting specifications for
mechanical equipment, and in inspec-
ton of installations, had favored GER
tain manufacturers or products. Ben
nett has denied all accusations.
District officials yesterday again
declined to make public any of their
records in the case, inquiries being
referred to Engineer Commissioner
Dan I. Sultan. who was out of the
city over the week end.
Walter L. Fowler, assistant corpo-
ration counsel, who headed a COM
mittee which considered the charges,
revealed, however, that the COM
plants were filed by an attorney, who
represented a client or clients whose
names were not announced. Fowler
declined to state the name of the
attorney, but he said he was not a
Washington resident.
One of Gardeners complains
against the action Of the Fowler
committee Is that it did not give
Bennett an opportunity to face his
accusers. Fowler explained yester-
day his committee was not trial
board" and did not have power to
subpoena witnesses.
