AGREES WITH BOAKE
CARTER

Editor, The Citizen:
We hope some of your readers
were able to see Boake Carriers
column headed Second Surren-
der?" and European Friends.
1t was one of the finest, clearest
statements arising out of the pres
ent war-aid debate.
Mr.. Carter was in Key West not
so long ago, wrote several poppy
letters in The Citizen and made
himself identified there, as a man
CT opinions. He is not always as
clear and strong as in the edito-
rial mentioned and we wish every
school boy in the country could
read and remember the should
er punch Carter has given our
'1ovable allies, England and
France, whom we supported in
the last war with the blood of
our clean, strong American
youth, to say nothing of our good
gold sincel 1t is well to remem-
Der what we did back in the last
world war, and the thanks we
got for it, before launching a
new save the world" effort,
headed by Generalissimo Roose-
welt.

COWBOYS VS.. TURKEYS
,ny Assoctatcd Pres.l

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 10.-Out in
those parts of the west where
cowboys now ride herd on huge
flocks of turkeys, instead of cat
tie, the problem arises of what to
do about birds that don't come
home to roost at night.
Leon Alexander, Mason county
farmer, has solved it. His tur-
keys frequently range out in the
brush and try to roost there. They
are easy prey for coyotes.
So Alexander placed a goat
with the flock and the goat has
become so attached to the tur-
keys he never leaves them. When
ever Alexander calls the goat, the
animal bleats and Alexander
knows the location of his tur-
keys.

Schultz Gets 5 Minutes
For Milk VaIedictory

The House today granted Repre-
sentative Schultz, Democrat. of In
diana, minutes at the close of
the regular legislative business to
discuss the "deplorable" milk situ-
alton in the District.
Mr.. Schultz, who fought in vain
at the present session of Congress
to have the Washington milk mar
ket opened to producers beyond the
present restricted milk shed, told
neWspapermen that in his brief
valedictory on the milk subject he
would show that milk can be de-
livered at the door steps for II
cents quart and allow a reason
able profit to both producer and
distributor.
Mr.. Schultz also declared he would
charge on the House floor that GER
tain producers organizations are
discriminating against one WASH
lngton dairy. This particular dairy,
he said, is forced to pay "a cents
gallon for milk, whereas two of
its strongest competitors are pay
ing II cents.
A bill introduced by Mr.. Schultz
at the close of the recent milk in
vestigation designed to allow ship
ment into Washington for fluid con-
sumption of milk and cream from
the Middle West will remain on the
House calendar as unfinished"
business until the next session of
Congress. Had this proposed leg
islation been enacted, he declared,
Washington consumers would now
be paying IL instead of IA cents a
quart for milk.

Man After Robbery
At CosteIbere's

An alert night watchman early to-
day captured a 33-year-old man
who, he said, smashed a window at
Castelberg's, 1904 F street NV, and
grabbed a half dozen expensive
watches.
The watchman, Archie Finnegan,
was making his rounds when he saw
the man acting suspiciously. The
man hurled a package he carried,
brick wrapped in paper, through
the window and ran, the watchman
said.
Mr.. Finnegan, who is employed by
several business houses in the neigh
borhood, but not Castelberg's, rea-
soned that the man would return.
He did. From a hiding place in a
doorway across the street Mr.. Finne-
gan said he watched him reach
through the broken window and take
some watches.
The watchman then caught him
and called police. At the first pre-
cinct, where the man is held for in
vestigation, it was reported six ex-
pensive watches were recovered.
Henry T. Payne, 48, 2003 Colum-
bia road NV, reported to police
early today he was robbed of his
trousers containing $50. He said
he got off of a streetcsr at Mount
Pleasant and Hobart place NV. at
$3.50 am. and man passing in an
automobile offered to take him
home. In the 100 block of Hobart
place, he told police, the man robbed
him.
Nurse Felled by Robber.
Miss Maravene Deveney, 24-year-
old trained nurse, was knocked down
and robbed of $26 late yesterday by a
colored man in a corridor near the
door to her apartment at 324l N
street NV.
Miss Deveney told police she had
returned home and had placed the
pocketbook on a radiator while
fumbling with keys before entering
her apartment. Without warning,
she said, the man struck her in the
face, grabbed the pocketbook con-
tanning the money and ran. Miss
Deveney, after calling for help, ran
after the man, but he quickly out
distanced her. The pocketbook,
minus the money, was found near
the scene of the robbery.
Police today were holding two COL
ored men for investigation in con-
nection with taking 40 bottles and
81 cans of beer, eight shoulders and
a small amount of cash from the
Food Fair, store at 1927 Seventh
street NV. Police believe that the
robber hid inside until after the
store was closed last night, as the
store keys also were missing.
Esther Prayer of 2445 Fifteenth
street NV, told police a burglar
early yesterday had taken $50 from
her pocketbook. The man fled from
her home when she awakened and
screamed, she said.
