It happened us: H. S. Gibson, automobile distributer and dealer, called the office of the fire marshal for an inspector. requesting fhat a man be sent up to find out why “smoke was seeping through the walls of his establishment.” He was told that no one would be available for this serv- ice until this morning. He wanted quicker action. He called the office of Chief Watson. Scarcely had he hung up his telephone after making the call when fire apparatus from all directions were thundering to the front door. “I got quicker action than 1 figured,” ’ was Mr. Gibson’s commentary after ex- { —— 0 | platning the situation to the firemen.

What streets there e Som times are latticed. others are tun under great estates, and even these are inconceivably narrow. New Scemes Photographed. By the use of the telephoto lenus and by camouflaging his camera or hifiing in ambush, Mr. Ashton man- aged to photograph scenes never be- fore caught by the camera’s eye; such scenes as a Moslem funeral, where the body is carrfed aloft and followed by choral singers, of the “ladies’ day out"—that is to say, the day when wives are allowed (o congregat. together in a cemetery, which also i the market place; of a dinner party where the host must wait to eat for )is guest to finish, and whero the wives, who G0 not uppear, must wait until the husband has eaten the choicest tidbits of the meal. In an American city the merchant of a_great store furnishes drinking fountains for his patrons. The mer- chants of Fez engage water carriers. with their goatskin water bags, tu patrol the street in front of their stores and give water to every one who asks.

The pasha was 8o captivated by the telephone that he had one installed. with which he playfully talks to himself. o ————— COLORED TAILOR G0ES TOPRISON FOR 10 YEARS Philadelphia Man Had Long Crim- inal Record—Other Sentences Tmposed by Court. Arthur Dickson, colored, a tailor of Philadelphia, was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary yesterday by Justice Stafford in Criminal Division 1. Dickson has a long criminal record and was sald to have come to Wash- ington last April on a pocket-picking expedition. A Philadelphia lawyer made an im- passioned plea for leniency. telling the court that Dickson was making money in his tailoring business and offered to pay a fine 2s high as $500 if the court would let Dickson off. Justice Stafford, after reading the record of Dickson, remarked that if such crimi- nals are turned free in other jurisdic- tions they may not expect such treat- ment in Washington. Soldier Gets Five-Year Term. Thomas Vaughan, white, now serv- ing a third enlistment in the United States Army, was given a term of five years in the penitentiary by Justice Stafford in Criminal Division 1. Vaughan was convicted of housebreak- ing in entering the home of Henry L. Gowens, October 8 last.
