Tickets and reservations for boxes at the fifth annual Bal Boheme, to be held January 28 at the Willard Hotel under auspices of the Arts Club of thlngmn, are in great demand, ac- cortling to the committee in charge, which announces that “fancy dress in keeping with the carnival spirit of the occasion,” will be required this year, instead of merely requested. The motif will be Egyptian, with a Cairo locale, and to simplify matters for patrons whose wardrobes do not in- clude turbans or Oriental “abas,” these can be procured at the door or in ad- vance of the ball at the hotel. The executive committee consists of Dr. John Ryan Devereux, L. M. Lelsenring, Will I. Deming and Henry Jay Staley. ‘While most of the boxes have been disposed of, a few can be procured through Mrs. Anne P. Gaynor, chair- man of the box committee, or by ap- plication to the Arts Club. Tickets this year are being distributed exclu- sively through the membership of the club, it was announced. Dance music will be rendered be- tween 10 pm. and 3 am. The usual three prizes will be awarded this year, one for the most attractive repre- sentation of the Egyptian motif, an- other for the most original costume and a third for the most amusing. Committees in charge héve been or- ganized as follows: Chairman, Dr. John Ryan Devereux; decorations, Lynch Lugquer; costumes, Mrs. Fulton Lewis; dramatics, James Otis Porter; posters, Frances Benjamin Johnston; publicity, Waldon Fawcett; hotel and supper, Henry Jay Staley; patronesses, Mrs. Anne P.

ACCUSED FIRE DRIVER IS ACCORDED HEARING Decision Reserved in Investigation of Collision Which Injured Three Men. Charged with reckless driving, col- ing and violation of the Fire De- plrtment regulations against passing apparatus on the way to a fire, as the result of a collision between No. 23 engine and No. 2 truck on Thanks- giving day, in_which three firemen were injured, J. E. Luskey, driver of No. 23 engine, was given a hearing be- fore the Fire Department trial board yesterday at the fire station at Four- teenth street and Ohio avenue. Decision in the case was reserved by the board, which was composed of Bat- talion Chiefs A. C. Buscher and Charles E. Schrom and Capt. J. R. Grove of the fire rescue squad. Witnesses for the prosecution the defense agreed that it was the rear wheel of No. 23 engine which hit the left front wheel of No. 2 truck in passing at -first and M streets, causing the truck to swerve into the curbing on the north side of M street at Thirty-first and crash into a street Hight standard and a parked milk truck. Luskey told the board that he thought' after his front wheels had cleared the truck in passing that he was entirely clear of the larger vehicle. He said he did not hear the crash of the truck when it swerved to the curb because of the din of the two machines’ sirens and whistles, and did not learn of the accident until after he had ar- rived at the scene of the fire call he was responding to at Thirty-sixth and W streets. —_— BULGARIA HONORS HERO. Monument to “Unknown Soldier” Erected by Nation. SOFIA () .—Bulgaria is the last cf all belligerent nations to perpetuate the memory of her unknown soldier. Unlike the other countries which erected impressive temples as a na- tional tribute to their unnamed war- rior, Bulgaria, which is essentially an agricultural natfon, has selected the picturesque small village for the site of this monument, because most of those who fell on the field of honor for a ‘l‘grealer Bulgaria” came from the vil- ages. 3 ‘The monument to Bulgaria's un- known soldier has been erected in the village of Dorkova, near Sofia. It is in the form of a towering obelisk, resting on a white marble pedestal. and ht London’s new ice rink is sald to be the largest in the world.
