PISTOL,
POLICEMAN
GETS MAN

Detective Sergeant Hugh Brodie
lost his gun in pursuit Of two col
ored suspected robbers late yester-
day, but he got one Of his men.
Unarmed, after his gun had
fallen from his pocket and skidded
across the street on the ice, Ser.
geant Brodie captured one Of the
men at Seventh and H Streets
Northwest after a brief Scuffle.
The second escaped.
Both men were wanted, police
said, for questioning in connection
with a series Of robberies in which
nearly $4,000 worth Of property
had been stolen from parked auto
mobiles.
Sergeant Brodie said he picked
I'D the trail Of the men at Thir-
teenth and H Streets Northwest,
and followed them to Ninth and H
Streets Northwest, where he said,
one of the men took q suitcase
from a parked automobile, and
with his companion, jumped into
a taxicab driven by q colored man.
He said he followed the men in
his automobile and ordered the
men to surrender. AS he jumped
from his car his pistol slid across
the street on the ice.
One of the men fled and the
other was subdued after scuffle.
At headquarters he gave his name
as Nathaniel Fletcher, 80, Of the
1900 block Sixth st. N. w. The
operator of the cab was also
booked for investigation. He was

Grasping his trusty firearm,
Officer Bricker jumped from his
motorcycle and trailed his quarry.
It would have escaped except for

Utilizing the cunning of an Eskimo
on a floe, the policeman cornered
the beast and then brought it to
the Traffic Bureau.
Mr.. Didelphys virginiana is now
reposing in a box at the bureau.
What will be done with him is still
problem to be solved by the
authorities - although there is
some talk of giving him to the
colored janitor because he an
nounced that he likes 'possum.

GOAT GOBBLES
CIGARETTES

Bewhiskered billy goats staring
out Of shop windows all over the

ton just how many of these hir.
suite animals still call Washington
home.
One Of the few who aren't ad-
vertising the advent of the book
beer season was tracked to his
lair at 1925 Half st. S. W., inter
viewed and photographed.
His name, naturally enough, is
william; but, according to N. Kill
man Hall, his owner, everyone
calls him Bill" The wood buSi-
ness which Mr., Hall conducts is
peculiarly adapted to the habits
Of Mr.. Halls pet, inaSmuch as the
log piles provide him with plenty
Of synthetic crags over which he
may scramble.
Not quite a year old, Bill" has
learned rapidly. He is able to
detect the presence in ones pocket
Of package Of cigarettes by sheer
sense of smell. Nor is he satisfied
until he has been fed at least half
of them. He favors no particular
brand. They all satisfy Bill"
Flannel, tin, bark. leather and
hay are some of the other things

thing he doesn't eat is Brazilian
cactus.
He hasn't been given the
chance.

BY DIR. MILTON BOSLEY, OWN.
Excessive fatness ina dog may.
be general throughout his entire
body or confined to certain local
ized areas. The smaller breeds
such as the Boston bull, poodle
and pom, suffer from obesity
more than larger types of dogs
such as the shepherd, collie, air
dale, great dane, etc.
This physical defect commonly
occurs to animals, either male or
female who have been sterilized
after maturity. Sterilization tends
to change the opposition of an
animal, makes it lazy and phleg-
matte, and therefore a fit subject
for this deformity.
Exercise Important
Animals steriIized before ma
turied do not show so pronounced
a tendency for obesity.
Another chief factor in exces-
Sive fat accumulation is diets of
cakes, candies and other nutri-
tiouS foods which are utilized by
the body. Lack of exercise hast
ems overfatneSS.
Although obesity seldom occurs
to dogs which receive sufficient
exercise, their diets should contain
limited amounts of carbohydrates.
Observable fatty deposits about
the neck, shoulders and obdomen,
and general laziness are the
most common symptoms of the
ailment. Digestive disturbances
usually result and the heart &C
tion is often disturbed.
Owners of dogs suffering from
obseity should consult a veteri-
marian, who will regulate and re-
strict the animals diet.
Reduce Diet Slowly
To effect a cure for. obesity in
your pet, a reduction in the
amount Of food and systematic
and forced exercise are essential.
Only a small reduction in the
animals diet should be made at
first, and the amount decreased
until only a sufficient quantity
to maintain the strength Of the
patient is contained in his meals.
The amount of carbohydrates
and fats should be limited and a
greater proportion of nitrogenouS
foods should be included in the
diet.

NEW ALIM0NY
RULE HANDED
DOWN HERE

In q memorandum opinion Of
far.reaching importance In domes-
tic litigation, Justice Jesse c. Ad-
kins today held that equity courts
Of this jurisdiction may enforce
certain alimony payments provid-
ed in divorce DEGREES issued out Of
other courts.
While the question is expected
to be taken to the United States
Court Of Appeals for final determi-
nation, 1t has established a new
rule in the lower court practice
unless 1t is finally reversed.
The court ruling was in the
equity suit Of Mrs. Id& B. Battle,
$500 Connecticut Ave-, N. W.,
against her husband, John D. Bat.
tie, executive secretary Of the Ma
tional Coal Association, as q re-
suit Of a separation agreement be-
tween them before they were di-
vorced. The agreement was later
ratified and confirmed In the di.
vorce she obtained in Reno on No
vember z, 1884.
Signed Agreement
: Attorneys for Mrs. Battle
pointed out that on September
II, 1884, the husband and wife
had signed the agreement under
which he was to pay her $3.50 a
month as long as such monthly
payments represented IS per cent
or one-twelfth of his annual sal
ary. A change in Mr.. Battles
salary would be reflected in the
payments, except that in no event
would he be required to pay more
than $500 q month nor less than
500 a month.
Provision for refinancing the
family residence also was made
in the agreement.
Mrs. Battle alleges that her
husband makes $1,000 a month
but has paid her nothing since
last october and has failed to
keep the agreement relative to
the refinancing Of the home.
In the past the local courts
have refused to attempt to en-
force DEGREES Of other courts in
equity. proceeding but have re-
quired the petitioners to institute
actions in the law courts, thereby
making it necessary for q Sepa-
rate suit to be filed in case Of
each separate default.
Judge Explains RuIing
Justice Adkins, explaining the
difference in the cases, stated:
"In those cases the decree
was for . definite amount Of
alimOny payable monthly.
-. ':The contract between these
parties provides for a monthly
payment, the amount Of which
may vary with change in the
income Of the husband, and she
claims to be entitled to q larger
monthly payment than the one
stated In the contract. There
are also other provisions pro
viding for payments on q house
and premiums ON four insur-
ance policies.
Gas to two Of the matters
involved, plaintiff needs an &C
counting from the defendant.
Therefore the demurrer should
be Overruled as to this ground"
Last fall Mrs. Battle filed a
sensational suit against a woman
executive in the Post Office De-
partment. accusing her Of alienat-
ing the affections of her former
husband. The case has not been
reached for trial.

~APT. FREDERICK HE'LL
4 VEG, U. S. NJ. retired. su-
perintendent of the Naval OBJ
~ servatory, and his wire
haired terrier Roy present a picture
of the inseparable comradeship Of
man and dog. a comradeship that has
existed for almost eight years.
The name Roy Is short for Rob Roy
III, blue-blooded. snappy and speedy
and highly intelligent. great great
grandson of Tetra Peggy, famous
wire haired terrier.
Capt. Hellweg's experience in train
ing men has been carried into his
long friendship with his dog. Roy,
who speaks his own language with
growls and low grumbles. understands
about everything any member of the
family says to him. Sometimes the
orders given him are repeated. but
Roy is a good soldier and carries them
out.
Came From Rhode Island.
Roy came from a kennel at New
port, r. l.. when he was months
old Since then. almost eight years
ago, he and Capt. Hellweg seldom
have been apart, except during the
captains daily working shours.
Roy was frolicking on the beach at
Newport, puppy then, when a
stranger remarked, Il know that dog. ."
But he's just a puppy" replied
the captain. He g descendant Of
Tetra-Peggy."
II knew it." the stranger said. "Only
Tetra-Peggy and her dogs could run
a ball down the beach. keeping it be-
tween their forelegs and pushing it
with their nose"
Roy always gets plenty of attention
In fact, he rates as a member of the
family. His birthday, however, is a
red-letter day When it was cele-
brated recently he had to himself
served in several courses" a cooked
chicken, from which all bones had
been removed.

CliqueS in Government.
Eve know that in the Government
departments there always have been
little cliques that work for the ad-
vancement of each other" SAID Sem
ator Barkley. Il would like to see
some law passed for the benefit Of
the humble Government employe who
has no one to whom he can appeal
for support"
Senator Robinson also said he had
heard of cases where groups within
departments had worked to bring
about promotions. The Arkansas Sem
ator also pointed out that relatives Of
employees sometimes intercede in their
behalf and state that they are acting
without the knowledge of employees
themselves.
