Exercise for Complexion

The question of exercise Is para
mount with the woman of today. But.
as what is one mans meat is another
mans poison" so a form OF exercise
that is good for one wo.nse would
prove very harmful to another. There
is no better way TO exercise. generally.
than to walk. 1t takes one into the
fresh air, which after all. is the most
essential thing. and it also is more pro-
ductiye Of good compilations than any
thing else. And the exerciser doesn't
want to be afraid of harmless little
rain AS a matter of fact, the rain in
itself is a beautifyer and a very good
thing to encounter. The really good
complexion is to be had only by the
girl who exercises regularly and in a
common-sense manner.

Com MPTROLLER TO PASS
ON STATUS OF JUSTICES
Commissioners Refer Ques-
ton to Mr.. TraceWell.
To Determine How Many and What
Justices Of the Peace, If Any,
Hold Office Legally.

Commissioner Macfarland yesterday
recommended the reference to the Comp
troller of the Treasury OF the question as
to whether at the present time there are
any justices of the peace legally in Office
in the District of Columbia. Mr.. Trace
well Will also be asked, in the event that
his reply to the first question is afiirma-
tive. how many justices are legally hold
ing Office and who these justices are.
This action was in the form OF an in
dorse ment upon the letter recently sub
mitted by Auditor Petty. in which he
asked for the opinion of either the Comp
troller OF TIE Treasury or of the Attor-
ney General. In view of the fact that the
Supreme Court of the United States has
held that the government of the District
of Columbia is not a part of the National
Government Mr.. Macfariand stated that
he did not think that the Commissioners
had the right to call upon the Attorney
General for an opinion.
The question as TO the status of the
justices Of the peace was raised by the
Auditor of the District, Mr.. Petty, who,
UH July o. It4utSttu tHdl lux sAlAOiuey
General or the Comptroller of the Treas
ury be asked for an opinion as to
whether. in view of the act OF June 80.
1902, there are at present any justices Of
the peace legally in Office in the District
of Columbia. and If So how many, who
are said justices, and what salary they
are entitled to receive for their services.
In bis Endorsement upon the letter
Commissioner Macfarland wrote: L
move that the Comptroller OF tie
Treasury be asked for the opinion de-
sired by the Auditor OF the District OF
Columbia in the inclosed letter. Inas-
much as the Supreme Court Of the United
States tas held that the government OF
the District of Columbia is not a part Of
the National Government. do not think
that the Commissioners of the District of
Co urbia have the right to ask the Attor-
ney General FOR an opinion

This MISS NASH NOT
MISSING TEACHER
Police Run Down a Local
CleW Without Success.
Reported by Park Watchman That
Woman Answering Description of
School Teacher Had
Been Seen.

The search for the missing Miss Nash
goes on undated. but so far without the
least apparent advance toward sue
cessful unraveling OF her mysterious dis
appearance June ., when she left this
city ostensibly to go to Baltimore 10
visit friends. Since that time, however,
nothing has been heard Of her. and all
the efforts of her brother and the police
officials have resulted only in showing
every supposed clew of no avail.
Another clew turned up yesterday aft
ernoon and gave one of the police head
quarters detectives a long watch
through the heat of the day. only to re-
suit later in a case of mistaken iden-
tity.
Another Local C.ew.
About noon Park Watchman Chase,
who patrols Mcpherson and Farragut
Squares and other reservations in the
Third precinct, reported to Lieutenant
Boyle that enegof the residents along the
line OF his daily route had given him
what she believed was a clew to the
missing Miss Nash. She said that she
had become very much interested in the
search for the young woman, and that
in the course of conversation with her
neighbors had learned that Miss Nash
had moved into the neighborhood.
The description of the person in ques-
tion. 1t as noted, fitted in many re-
spects the Miss Nash who has disap-
peared, and the park watchman's report
was turned over to the police headquar-
ters' staff for further inquiries.
Not the Woman Wanted.
Detective Tyser was assigned to look
into the supposed clew had visited the
neighborhod OF Fifteenth and I Streets
northwest, the place indicated by Park
Watchman Chase's informant He found
that one of the occupants OF a house
nearby was Miss Nash. who had lived
there for some time past, however, it
was stated.
Not content with mere denial OF the
accuracy of the clew, the detective
waited all the afternoon, until finally a
young woman was seen approaching the
house in question. This, it was said
was Miss Nash. The detective found the
statement to be correct and the similar
ity in the descriptions very noticeable
but it was not the Miss Nash who has
been missing for more than a month.
The detective had TO report. therefore,
the same lack of success as has followed
all previous attempts to locate the miss
ing woman.
