GALE, RAIN, SHINE,
ALL IN BALhY DAY
Of WINTER TINE

A thirty to forty mile an hour wind
is no light summer breeze to which one
may turn ones face end say. "Ah."
It's a pest, a hlndrance, and an alto
gether unwelcOme AFFAIR that has no
place in the midst Of a fair city.
At least. this was Tne consensus of
feminine opinion this morning when the
fair sex Of Washington set out On pro-
fessional duties and shopping tours. II
there is one thing more eXasperating
that a high wind it Is higher one.
Taken along with a veritable deluge
which poured out OF the sky when Bo-
reas was cavorting all about skirts and
tearing umbrellas inside out, it was
quite enough to put everybody in Dad
temper. The ground hog chUckled in
his hole. and his 'hee-hees' and 'haW-
haws'' could be heard above the rat
Ting Of the rain and the shrek of the
wind.
After everybody who had made an
early start got good and wet and had
been pretty much we'll blown about. the
clouds lifted and the prettiest sunshine
In all the winter season came pouring
down. It was one OF those big. glorious
sunshine one sees in pictures and reads
about in books. but Il was here in fact
and everybody outside wanted 20 stay
there. Fora while IL was a balmy spring
day transplanJed TO winter.
one of the most remarkable features
of the sudden clearing was the lifting
Just above the river Of a heavy fog
which hung over the river but did not
exterd to the land. Shortly after II
o'clock il gradually lifted ana begaH
moving slowly no the river Ike phan-
tom army until IL entirely disappeared.
The official fOreCaster at the Weather
Bureau gave the assurance today that
the pad Weather-he means rain-is all
over, and tomorrow will be a fine,
bright day, though a little cooler than
today.

CANDIDATE FOR PRINTER
URGED UPON PRESIDENT

Representatives Langley, Edwards,
and Bennett of Kentucky, and former
Internal Revenue Commission John W.
Yerkes called upon the President this
morning 20 present the name OF Milo
Shanks for the position of Public
Printer to succeed Charles a. Stillings.
Mr.. Shanks' supporters assured the
President that he was in every way
qualified for the position.
The President said he would give Mr..
Shank's application due consideration.
but did not intimate what his decision
viii be. It is understood that if he
can legally place William S. Rossiter in
the position of Public Printer, Re will
do SO, but if the latter's lack Of techni-
cal training in the printing business
acts as a bar to his appointment, Mr..
Shanks and the other candidates will
have a show.

Madam Moneaux, deceased.

long possessed the greatest Of
secrets pertaining to feminine
charm. And what is the great
secret SO much desired by
women-the secret that has
made a vast fortune for the
madam's heirs, and that
brought her all the famous
actresses and society leaders
for patrons.
What, you don't kncw?"
1t Is simple but sure meth
cd of developing the bust, arm
and neck OF women, who, thro.
defect of nutrition and circu-
lation, are Inundated by I'M
developed arms, neck. and
bust. The treatment consists
of applying a powerful but
harmless nervine stimulant to
the cells of the skin, to he
absorbed and utilized as nour-
ishment to the flesh cells and
tissues. Beautiful changes are
wrought. Ugly, deformed wo-
men are developed into charm
Ing personages, with well
well rounded arms and neck,
full normal bust of exquisite
cure ana proportion so much
admired in our great actresses
and society leaders. Any lead
Ing duggist will supply the
ingredients to mix at home,
and as they are used for var
ious prescriptions no one need
be wiser what they are to he
used for, which is as 1t should
be for modest womanhood.
Get separately two ounces

hot water and soap and dry
thoroughly. Apply morning
and night regularly for sew
