and buying their food supplies.
A ND over it all the buzz of talk, the
cry of venders in their effort tc
lure you to their particular stand, ano
the sometimes heated arguments that
develop in the course of bargaining.
How much does that chicken
weigh?"
"Eggs-actly 3A pounds" said the
poultryman, hefting it.
Then don't bother to weigh it,
said the woman who inquired, as she
turned and walked away, leaving him
holding the chicken in one hand with
o look of indignation on his face.
A hot-dog vender pushed his way
through the crowd, jamming his case
of dogs and rolls into peoples backs as
he went along shouting his wares
Later in the day I saw him dispens-
ing ice cream in cardboard cups.
An odd sight was that of people
carrying chickens in brown paper
bags, with the head sticking through
the bag.
Why do they do that?" asked.
Keeps the chicken from smother
ing" said the Inspector. You'd be
surprised at how quick chicken will
die if it is stuck into bag and just
carried around unless its head is out

If you buy chicken or duck OF
turkey at the market and want to have
1t killed and dressed you can take II
over to a special room where. for a
dime, they will kill, pluck, and draw
your chicken almost before you can get
the money out Of your pocketbook But
If you're squeamish, better wait out
side while they do it.
Down the line a short distance q
woman of the "dowager" type steamed
Inajestically up to a stand where
dressed chickens were displayed and
looked down over three chins.
Is that chicken fresh killed." shs
asked, poking fat finger at it.
Eyes MAN," was the reply.
She thumbed it all over gingerly. "Ii
e. doesn't seem so to me-" she sait
haughtily and walked away.
''Of course them chickens Is fresh
killed, lady. couldn't sell 'em If they
wasn't. What'd you want me to do
tell you I'd killed it last week and was
saving it for you?" protested the
vender, his voice dying away to dis.
gusted mutter.
How do you tell tender chicken
from a tough one?" I asked the In
spector, laughing as we passed the
stand.

squeezed it in what I hoped was q
professional manner. The breast bone
was springy and gave under pressure.
That's a young, tender chicken" I"
he said "Now feel this one" handing
me another.
Again squeezed, but this time the
breast bone was hard and there was
no give to it.

esked. "The first one was tender, but

anything where you cooked it a long
time. but no good for frying"
How many stands in the market?"
I asked him.
Five hundred, and they rent from
rs cents to 81 a day, according to the
size, etc. The money is used to keep
up the market and cover the super
vision, for here they have their own
superintendent and. operate the mar
ket themselves. All we do is inspect
and see that everything is o. K"
BY this time we had reached the
large wholesale section of the market,
but there was stand at the curb with
some fruit skins and trash under it.
"Get that cleaned up" said the In
spector sternly.
Eyes, sir; right away" came the
quick answer, and the owner began to
brush 1t up and put it into basket
to carry to one Of the trash recep-
tacles.
In and out of the stores we went and
marveled that everywhere there was
the most friendly greeting and wave
of the hand with Hi, inspector" for
to enforce the regulations and still be
popular seems to me would be quite
an achievement.
Did you ever see celery machine?"
he asked.
"No-what is it?"
Come in here" and he led the way
into one of the corner stores where
there were machines with large, stiff,
revolving brushes under running water.
The celery was being fed through
these brushes and came out clean on
the other side, where trimmers quickly
put on the finishing touches and tied
it in punches ready for sale.
Outside again he showed me bags
and crates of Florida fruit. On the
bags were labels reading ~ box-%

would be figure 60-74Eor perhaps
80 stamped. learned that this means
that the fruit in that sack is of a size
that runs so, "a, or 80 to the box and
that the sack hold one-half box There
fore, you can tell without counting
them, that there are about 40 oranges
or grapefruit in that particular sack
If 1t is marked "80.''
I ATER I visited all the other mar
kets, but it would be a repetition
to tell Of them except to mention that
in two places-one on Georgia avenue
and another on U street-you can buy
any part Of a chicken you want. for
they sell you as many legs, livers,
breasts, or whatnot as you want. Thus,
If you have four or five children and
they all want drum sticks" you can
supply the demandI
If you like sea food you can 60 down
to Water street and buy fresh fish d.
rect from the boats and during the
season, oysters, and it is surprising
how many people do just that.
Before I left the inspector I had
one more question, however
do you ever have to condemn
much stuff?"
NO" he replied. "All the 'regu-
lars around the market know what |
the rules are and seldom bring in any,
thing they shouldn't. Once in a while |
they will fail to wash of the various ]
sprays used to kill insects. and have

CARRIED IN SAFE WAY

While social security and emergency
requirements have added large and en-
tirely new demands on the state treas.
ury, the total cost of operating the
state government, including these new
functions, has decreased approximately
$9,O0O,O0O year since 1882.
These figures were emphasized to-
day by Governor Clarence D. Martin
in an analysis of state expense
In 1882 the total state taxes, in
Guiding property, gasoline, inheritance
and insurance taxes and all fees, ant
ounted to $Y8.414,0OO. For the year
1886 the total is $79,SO3,OOO.
Due to the passage l,y the peop'e OF

IRON hand of dictator. That seems to
be what we come to in all other lines
OF industry and finance.
''Gov. Landon spoke as practical
Progressive in Topeka on July % last.
Tut on March 27. 1888, he spoke as q
practical oil man.
"'Gov. Landon now says he is op-
posed to governmental regulation of
industry, although so far he has been
careful not 70 specify when, where or
how. But again following the lead
of the Liberty League, and the great
bankers and industrialist, he is against
so-called augmentation. Yet here is
what he said about competition in his
speech as chairman of the Oil Confer
ence:
" when unbridled competition is
injurious to the public, regulation Of
that competition should be permitted
under governmental regulation.
Gin 1888, Gov. Landon as prac-
tical oil man was not only in favor OF
dictatorship and governmental con-
troll but even of the fixing of minimum
prices. On July II, 1888, he sent a
long telegram to the Secretary of the
Interior in which he said:
''Federal control under present act
is our only hope and if we are to be
protected it will be necessary for q
dictator to exercise authority in the
premises and fix allotment to States,
also pools within States, also storage

r1'he present act referred to so
appro1ngly by Gov. Landon was the

Landon joined with the Governors of
Kentucky, New York, Michigan, Ohio,

back to an oil conference held in the
Inferior Department in the early sum-
mer of 1888 at the instance OF PresI-
dent Roosevelt. Gov. Landon had been
designated by the Secretary Of the In
terror as the chairman of that confer
ence. He was not candidate for
President then. William Randolph

MOVIE CRITIC OF
 NEW YORK DIES

New York, Jan. l3.-UP).-A medical examiners report indicated today that Andre David Sennwald, Jr., movie critic of, the New York Times, died by his own hand.
 A terrific explosion wrecked Senn- wald's penthouse early yesterday. The top three floors of the apart ment house were damaged and a broken water main sent water down elevator shafts, disrupting service. The explosion was cauged by escap- ing gas in the kitchen. It was be- lieved to have been set of by a spark from an electric refrigerator.
 The medical examiner found that Sennwald died from gas poisoning, showing he was dead before the ex- plosion. Only 28, considered one of the most brilliant critics in the me- tropolis. Sennwald had suffered from an eye disease and was sadi to have feared for his sight.
