K rants, proprietor of the Mendota Market at 1900 Wyoming avenue northwest, yes terday posted a sign in front of his store, reading thus: "Notice: This store will be run as usual regardless of the Qross In justice done us by that autocrat Wilson of the Food Administration/' The sppearance of the sign was reported to the administration by a woman living opposite the store. Immediately two inspectors were sent out to bring the objectionable placard back to the office.. While they were on their mission, a small boy on roller skates rode proudly up to the office of the Administration carrying the sign, which wss writ ten in heavy crayon on a piece of pasteboard about two by three leet. When the two Inspectors reached the store. Krantz admitted that he had put the sign up and reiterated his decision to fight the unfair or der which had been issued against him. The order wss issued against Krantz when he persisted in dis obeying the regulations of the ad ministration. It is the iiecond time that he has been punished In the same way, for similar offenses. Ac cording to officials, ever since the organisation of the administration j Krantz has done everything in his power to oppose the regulations. He has been constantly in trouble with the authorities. CMtiaaN Despite Warala*. Krantz hrfd been warned by the ad. i ministration that unleas he desisted from the unfair practices which he wss charged with employing In his business he would be prosecuted. Still he continued, it is elleged, to sell food at pricea in excess of the fair price list, also to sell wheat flour without the proper substitutes, and the second order was Issued against him. Krantz is believed to have said yes terday that he could buy supplies and sell them despite the order. He Is also stated to have said that the Food Ad ministrator wss persecuting, not pros ecuting. him. Officials of the Food Administration were confident last* night that patrio tic housewives would not deal with the troublesome grocer. They announced that especial care would be taken to see that the unfair order was rigidly enforced. They stated that they were confident that no wholesalers woula transact business with Krantz and that in a short time he would bs forced out of business. THE TOWN CRIER. Professor CharleB C.

[ ODD TALES OF WAR RENTERS How Festive Night Owl Who Scared Girl Ten ants Was Ousted. Life's seamy aide comes before the authorities in charge of housing war workers. Extreme difficulty is often experienced in getting at the real truth in the*.curious and com plex situations which reach official hands. ? ^ One apartment house boasted a friend of old John Barleycorn on the top floor. Each night the gen tleman returned to his apartment not quite himself. The other three apartments were all inhabited by girls who were In the last stages of fright when the man chased them into their respective apartments. The landlady tried locking the man out. He walked along a stfx inch ledge and climbed In his win- , dow to resume his nightly occupa tion of frightening the girls. Only when the doors and windows were locked and his furniture put into the hall did he honor his eviction notice. Two days residence in one war worker's rooming house was charged to a little newcomer at $19.S0. This charge, worthy of one of Wsshington's best hotels, was found on investigation to be padded with such items as "blankets thrown out of the window." Charges Hit Back. In another esse a girl who roomed with three other girls preferred grave charges against them. These charges proved a boomerang, for when the case was investigated It was learned that the lady did not always make her roommates happy with her choice of friends or conversational topics. A naval officer who rushed in where sngels fear to tread was re corded. The man came up in a taxi cab from the fleet, asked the driver to take him to some vacant apart- ' ment, and contracted to pay $50 for two rooms the second floor of a house in an inexpensive part of town. When he learned that the landla-'?? herself paid but $25 for the wh a house he was rather sick of his I ? gain and something resembling a riot appears to have occurred. Satd She Was a Spy. The lady, according to the oflficer'a description, was a German spy rnas- jl querading a* a patriot. She had lorn j a flag to piecea and otherwise con ducted herself most unpatriotically. ^ The little landlady, on the other hand, proved that ahe was the presi dent of a Red Cross auxiliary and i had taken the flag down from her house because it was worn and rain- j beaten to tatters. Somewhere between the two the truth probably Ilea. Where housing facilities permit In- j stant removal of disagreeing parties all is amooth sailing for the authori ties. but suck a course Is often im possible because of the lack of an adequate list of rooms.
