[ Why Should I Advertise? —a man asked merthis question the other day and this is what I told him: If you have something worth-while tell the world about it. I am one of the leading dentists in Washington. Ask any dentist; he will tell you I am. I do high-grade dental work at moderate charges. A visit to my office will verify this statement.

In fact, any stand- ard car, properly tuned up, should do it with comparative ease. But more is required of a motor car than climbing, stunt hills.

GUIDE PUBLISHER FINED IN TEST CASE Judge * McMahon Upholds Commissioners in Forbid- " ding Street Sales. FIGHT CARRIED HIGHER Cannot Undérstand Restriction Upon Business, Declares Francis Crane. The constitutionality of the amend- ment to section 7, article 23, of the police regulations, prohibiting the sale of any merchandise, article or thing whatever from or upon any pub- o space, was upheld by Judge Mc- Mahon in Police Court yesterday when Francis S. Crane, a publisher, was fined $10 for violating the law. Judge McMahon made no comment other than to state the Commissioners were within their authority to make such a regulation. Mr. Crane, through his attorneys, P. B. Moorehouse and Mil- ton Strausberger, immediately filed an appeal to the Court of Appeals, a8 a further “test” of the validity of the regulation. ' Mr. Moorehouse filed a_ demurrer Wednesday, setting forth the follow- ing points: That the amendment 1s not a regu- | lation, but a prohibition; that it is unnecessary; that it is unusual; that it is an unconstitutional exercise of police authority and that the police have no delegative authority to pass upon such matters. A previous de- murrer had been filed but was over- ruled. Mr. Crane had applied for a license to sell guide books, but was refused. Alleges Loss Suffered. Mr. Crane came to Washington about six months ago from New York and eatablished the Washington Guide Book Company, at 938 F street north- west. He previously had made a thorough study of the city and then began mublishing the “Historical Self-Guide of Washington, Arlington and Mount Vernon.” He had it placed on sale at hotels, newsstands and also had boys cry it on the streets. The amendment to the police regulations forbade these boys to sell the guide book “from or upon any public place,” resulting, it is stated, in heavy finan- cial loss to the publisher. The sale of the publication at established places fell off sharply because of the loss in the street advertising, it is said. When the new regulation was is- sued, Mr. Crane declared yesterday after judgment had been delivered against him, he went to Senator France of Maryland, a personal friend, who communicated with Chief of Po- lice Daniel Sullivan. The latter was unable to do anything for the senator. Then Mr. France saw the Commission- ers, who declareq the ruling valid. A letter to the White House brought no results. Some ‘time after Mr. Crane filed a test case of the ruling. Mr. Crane stated that the merit of fen and distributors ‘of literture are permitted to operate at will. If these street venders occipy precious space in New York, on crowded streets, like Nassau, that reason cer- tainly could not be applied to Wash- ington, with its broad pavements and thoroughtares. 3 “Then if the local merchants hre responsible for it, they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces, for in the case of my book the vertisement given it on the st enables them to sell more coples of the gulde.” 2 Mr. Crane said he could not under- stand the logic of the regulation which permits e to buy stuft for their stomachs, “a great part of which - s injurious,” and prohibits their buying something for educa- tional hdvancement. He said he was publishing the gulde at a loss before the ordinance went into effect, and expects to do so for at least two years, but this .work only a gnlm ¢o' an_edticstional plan” he opes to launch in the near future. Auto Parking Example. 1t public opinion gets behind this amendment, Mr. Crane declared, the teeth will soon be taken out of it. He cited what he called a “parallel case” in the recent order of Col. C. O. Sherrill, officer in charge of public buildings and grounds, which put an end to all parkihg of automobiles in Rock k Park, and stated that the public objected and the order was modified. Mr. Crane sald his plans for the future included a series of lectures at various universities and colleges on the city of Washington, and that he hopes to conduct several lecture tours here in the summer montha. “This will also bring more money into the pockets of Washington mer- chants, hotel managements and othar businesses.” Until the amendment in question is repealed or modified to permit him to get his book on the streets, Mr. Buy When You Have Opportunity These prices are represent very material concessions from those that earlier in the season. .the savings to your consideration— and suggest taking advantage of these most unusual offerings.
