POLICY GAME CHECKED.
Police Guard Aqueduct Bridge Against
the Runners

Mindful OF the upheaval in the District
against gambling. and disturbed at recent
arrests near the AcQueduct bridge, the pro-
moters OF policy in Alexandria county, Va.
are today displaying caution which Is in
striking contrast to their bold operations in
the past. Closely following the arrest Tues
day Of two colored men who are charged
with being runners" one Of tho shops
changed its base Of operations and the
plant was moved to a place still deeper In
the underbrush along Little River.
The place was open today. and business
was being transacted as usual, but none Of
the runners. 80 far as the police who
guard the District end of the bridge could
ascertain. had the temerity to come over
for their daily roundup Of small change.
Several of them were in Georgetown, but
efforts to get them to take play were met
with fiat refusals. Some of them told the
pigeons sent by the police that the desire
for speculation would be gratifled If the in
vestors would walk over to the Virginia
shore. but as to any financial deals in the
District of Columbia there was strictly
nothing doing"
Saw Razor and Fled.
At one of the shops today tho crowd was
largely composed of women there to attend
the morning drawing. Shortly before noon
a colored man. who was suspected by the
patrons of the shop of being a spy, was
roughly handled by the female gamblers
and chased out of the place by q man with
| razor. The suspected man Owed into the
bushes. and because of his superior sprint
ing qualities gained the highway and
! safety.
! Incidentally there will be shortage in
the berry crop in that section. owing to the
rapid passage of the fugitive through sew
| eral large blackberry patches and the at
PENDANT d!slodgment Of quantities of par
TALLY ripe fruit.
The policemen at the bridge held up sew
eral coiored men this morning and searched
them. but found nothing to indicate that
/ they were violating the gaming laws. A
close watch will be kept on the bridge and
also the river IN case the runners should
show preference to journey to and from
the Alexandria county bushes by the water
route.

Aavantane Of White Hair.

Most people regard white hair as a
misfortune" said hairdresser. "They
mourn over its coming as sign OF
vanished youth, aud they try first one
thing and then another to withstand
this touch Of time. I think they make
a mistake. Paradoxical as It may
sound, white hair when It arrives, say,
in the late twentics or early thirties,
really helps IN keeping a person young.
It's true. anyhow A man or woman
whose hair turns white before the
wrinkles arrive is a subject for CON
graduation because FOR many years
he or she will appear about the same,
and If only proper care is taken of the
complexion the impression of youthful
ness will continue-I was almost going
to say indefinitely Then. white hair
is more often than not extremely be-
coming. It relieves a heavy face and
gives an added tone to the most splr-
ituelle one. People don't realize this:
that's all. If they did they would be
content to let nature take its course"
