Real estate market slow in Washington with new church plans
Real estate men report dull business across departments except rentals, with high demand for small four room flats and few sales. New church projects begin in southeast Washington near Fifteenth and D streets and St Mark’s Lutheran area, while many large private jobs are already disposed of and suburban work waits for spring.

Unique Penalty Imposed On Jam Thief Girl Aboard Ship
On the Graf Waldersee Captain Erech judged a young thief aboard the Hamburg American liner. A little girl caught with jam on her face and hands was sentenced to eat the ship's best jam whenever she wished, a punishment meant to deter future misdeeds. The captain noted the girl’s poverty and the severity of the case, and the steward supplied the jam. The incident drew mixed reactions from passengers as the girl’s fate became a memorable aboard-journey moment.
