This is the first year the tax is to be applied. $25,000 for Premiums Only $25,000 goes for premiums and takes the place of the SIO,OOO for premiums specially appropriated by Legislature in p;ist years. The balance of the money goes to pay interest on the $1,000,000 loin nade by the fair board this year and also to create a sinjang fund for redemption of the bonds.

WHY WASHNGTON CRAVES NOT TO DINE MH PRINCE Baron Is Sociable, but Eats Too Lightly for Americans. By HARRY B. HUNT, NBA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Wher. the Prince of Wales, disguised as Baron Renfrew, comes to the States this rnpnth to watch the polo tourna. ment, there will be no mad rush from Washington to obtain invitations to luncheon, dinners, etc., In his honor. Not that Washingtonians don't like the Prince. They do. But most of them also like food. And from experience during the Prince's visit to Washington a few years ago it was found that lunching with a prince has serious handicaps. Party Gets Hungry During the Prince’s sojourn In Washington a select group o* twenty-one "representative” Americans, most of them from official and ultra-fashionable circles, were asked to a private luncheon at the town house\of Perry Belmont, where Wales had taken up his residence. The royal scion proved a most charming fellow. He knew offhand the personal interests and connections of each of his guests, and conversed intimately and at length with each. Meanwhile, luncheon w-aited and appetites grew. When the party finally was ushered Into the dining room, the thing uppermost in the minds of most of those present wag food; food substantial and plentiful. Royalty Served First Alas! however, for such fond hopes. Even in democratic America, it developed, royalty must b® served ind served first. And if he doesn’t happen to have much appetite, then his guests mustn’t have much appetite, either. t Perhaps the Prince had breakfasted late that morning. Perhaps he’s a light eater. Anyway, the Prince got his first and did not wait on ceremony to satisfy such appatite as he had. Before the guests at the foot of the table had much more than licked their chops in anticipation of th® lelicacics to come. His Royal Highness had finished. And, having finished, he apparently sensed no reason why he should remain at table until other more plebeian and voracious appeties had been appeased. Without excuse or apology, therefore, he lighted a cigarette, pushed back his chair and withdrew. Party Leaves Hungry What in such a crisis? The guests looked at each other hesitatingly. inquisitatively. Someone who thought he knew the royal regulations, pushed back his plate ar.crhis chair and followed. Doubtless that was the thing to do, so it was "done. But ah! how reluctantly! With longing, lingering looks at !he scarcely touched food they had lust begun to enjoy, the whole party surrendered its American independence and trooped out in the wake of Albert Edward etcetera. As an occasion of distinction in (he lives of the commoners present, it was an event to be remembered. But as a luncheon, either royal or otherwise, it was privately and emphatically branded as a "frost.”

"Diplomatic Immunity” “Diplomatic immunity” is one of the most prized perquisites of foreign officialdom in Washington. Its chief value. In the eyes of the ordinary citizens of the capital, is that it enables those to whom it is extended to bring in, free alike from customs duties and prohibition interference, pure and potable alcoholic beverages. | But to the diplomat and their families that is merely incidental. One diplomatic dowager who parked her car by a fire plug the other day defied the protesting policeman who accosted her. She was not diplomatic? In her language, but she was immune from arrest. She did not move the car. Had she been speeding at thirty miles an hour, she could also have given the officer the “haw-haw.’* ALPHONSE AND GASTON Motorman Doesn't Believe in It However—Arrested. Frank Martin. 29, of 202 Bakemeyer St., and Earnest C. Hurt, 27, of 912 N. Capital Ave., both street car motormen, don’t believe In “Alphonse and Gaston” stuff. When Hurt, motorman on a Prospect St. car, pulled in ahead of Martin, Southeastern Ave., motorman, Martin was angered. Later when he saw Hurt off duty at Delaware and Maryland St., he stopped his car, got off and attacked him, police said. Martin pleaded guilty to an assault and battery charge in city court today and was fined $1 and costs. GROCER GIVEN'HEARING 2a , . Blanford Man Round Over to Grand Jury Under Bond.
