in gentle encouragement.
Mistaking her tone he promptly sat
away again and looked SO forlorn that

'Tt's-it's more comfortable" he
stammered.
She reached her hand over

Whereupon Mr.. Bangs drew a great
breath and seized her hand.

He dropped her hand with a guilty
start. and for the next few minutes
each looked straight ahead and
neither spoke a word.

last desperate effort.

BY MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN.

Washington, November 6.-The live
Hest question in Washington just now
is that of a change in the Districts
form of government. AS everybody
probably well knows affairs are adj
ministered now by a commission of
three men appointed by the president
one of whom must be an army en-
gineer. The question of a change
originated with one of our papers,
although it has always been with us
more or less. This paper holds the
present form lacks in concentration
and efficiency, that lublic matters are
delayed by reason of having threa
heads and that the whole plan is in
herently weak and has long been out
grown by the city
There is undoubtedly growing
opinion that a concentration of au-
thority in the District government
would simplify the municipal situa-
tion and produce better results. The
commission plan has it's good fea-
lures. 1t has long been held I'D as
a model, ideally suited to the needs of
the District of Columbia, where suf-
frage is denied. But frequent and re-
peated contention and pickering
among the members of the board have
served to create more or less general
criticism of the commission plan, and
thus give the propaganda for
change some momentum. With the
commissioners obviously working at
cross purposes and airing their diff
ferences, and subordinate District Of
ficials following this example by en-
gaging in noisy controversies. it is
logical sequence that the present form
of government should gradually be
somewhat undermined.
Many substantial citizens and large
taxpayers are convinced that a one
headed government would work more

A BALD HEADED WOMAN
Shorn of Her Crown of Beauty Loses
In Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary to

bald headed woman? What charms

A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her browning glory is her
hair The loss of her hair mars her
beauty happiness and success. Yet,
right here in Hattiesburg. there are
thousands of women who are neglect.
ing or injuring their hair to such an
extent that it is only a matter of time
when it will be utterly ruined
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance of certain facts. They use
curling irons over-heated, oil of the
hair, causing it to split, break and
come out. They do not shampoo their
hair often enough, or too often. They
use soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful to
the scalp and hair
As a result of such treatment, dand-
ruff is created, the hair loosens, loses
color falls out, and badness COM
mences, unless proper and prompt pre-
cautions are taken in time. Then again
microbes and certain diseases bring
about unhealthy scalp and hair condi-
tions.
Almost anyone may rid themselves
of dandruff and diseased scalp and
hair if they will but use the right rem
edy. We have that remedy, and we
will positively guarantee that it will
either cure dandruf1 and badness or
it will not cost the user anything.
That's a pretty broad statement, but
we will back it and prove it with our
own money. Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic
is the remedy that will grow hair and
overcome all scalp and hair troubles.
1t will grow hair even on bald heads,
unless all life in the hair roots has
been extinguished, the follicles closed,
and the scalp is glazed and shiny. It
gets its name from the fact that it
grew hair in SO out OF 100 cases,
where it received a thoroughly hard,
impartial and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall 1913"
Hair Tonic at our risk. You surely |
cannot lose anything by doing so,
while you have everything to gain.

ALDRICH IS
67 YEARS OLD
Boss of the Upper House of the Ma.
tional Legislature Is Be.
ing Congratulated.
Hearst News Service.

Providence, R. l., November 6.-Nel
son Wilmarth Aldrich, senator from
Rhode Island and Republican boss
of the upper house of the national leg
islature, is today receiving the con.
gratulations of friends on his 9th
birthday. The senator took advant.
age of the occasion to reiterate his in.
tention of retiring from public life
when his term expires, March 8, 1911
He will then be 20 years of age. and
he declares that the weight of advanc.
ing years is responsible for his deter.
mination to step off the stage.
AS matter of fact, Senator Aldrich
is preparing to give up his position be-
cause congress is becoming more and
more nonpartisan. Each season it be-
comes more difficult to control and
whip into line the unwieldly republi-
can majority of the senate.
In recent years there has been a
great influx of young men, and these
refuse to recognize any boss but their
own ambitions, Aldrich realizes that
his power as the great and only tacti-
cal leader of the senate is waning.
Senator Aldrich was born in Foster
R, l., November 6. 1S41, and after re-
ceiving an academic education, en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. He be-
came a member of the Rhode Island
legislature in 1875 and it's speaker in
the following year. He was elected
to congress for the terms 1S79-1SS3,
but resigned to take his seat in the
senate, where he has since been prom
inent and of late years the admitted
leader. He is the father-in-law of
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., son of the
head Of the oil trust" and this family
connection has often led to charges
that he has unduly favored the Stan
dard Oil Company and other big cor
porations.

REGULARITY of the Ring Mountains

The moon is really and truly a great
planet Of mountains, Its whole visible
surface being dotted with elevations
OF curious shapes and of extraordinary
neight We say '1ts whole visible sur
race and hasten to explain that we
make this statement simply because
the eye OF man has never seen but one
size or the surface of the moon. What
We see convinces us that the little
planet is extremely mountainous, for
on the END" exposed to our view
there are no less than 10000 peaks.
varying In height from 1000 feet to
POUR miles. When we consider the fact
that this lunarian world Is only ona
tnlrty-second part as large as the
earth we can easily see why 1t de-
serves the title Of the planet of great
mountains" There is a peculiar thing
about these 10000 moon peaks. Each
and every one Of them has a rinpIike
FORM, the open end of the conical point
peing Of greater or lesser diameter. &C
eording to the height of the mountain.
IN low grade telescope these peaks
resemble true volcanoes, but when
viewed through high grade glass it is
seen that the depression in the center
OF the queer ring mountain is often
80 great as to be below the general
level of the surrounding country. The
ueptn OF these depressions is calcu-
lated In a curious manner, by figuring
on the relative shadows they cast
when the sun is shining full upon
them. The diameter of these ring
mountains" varies.greatly, some of the
larger ones being 80, 100 or even $50
miles, while the smaller look like post
holes when viewed through a good tel
escope.

smoothly and satisfactorily. This is
no new conviction on their part. II
has been emphasized by recent ex-
hibitions of division in the present
triumvirate, it is true, but the advis-
ability of concentrated authority has
appealed to them for years.
These citizens, however, who honest
ly believe in the wisdom of change
for the public good see great danger
in going before congress and asking
for change at this time. If by sim
pie act one commissioner or governor
could be substituted for the trium-
virate, they would urge it earnestly
and heartily. But the fear the propo-
sition would mean the opening I'D of
the whole question of the relations
between the District and Federal gov
eminent, with a possible alteration of
the organic act and perchance the
granting of unrestricted suffrage.
Better suffer the ills we know, they
argue, than invite ills we know not
of, especially as the ills we now have,
though vexatious, impose no heavy
burdens and involve no maladminis-
tration. In other words, they are re-
luctant to take the chance of jumping
from the frying pan into the fire. II
the present form of government makes
for discord, which is freely admitted,
it has, at any rate, not resulted in
graft and corruption of affairs here
often clumsy, and slow, and unsatis-
factory-nevertheless has been almost
uniformly free from scandal save in
minor places. The integrity of the
commissioners themselves has never
been brought into question.

Washington society is gradually re.
turning to its winter abiding places.
In spite of the fact that the members
of the household of the president are
established in the White House for the
season, it seems as though the mem

to return to the scenes of the official
gayety Of the seasons. There have
been, however, a number Of distin-
guished residents, who have enter.
tanned their guests as deliberately as
it is possible thus early in the season.
The British Ambassador to Italy and
Lady Rodd, who made such a pleasant
visit with their old friends, the Post

General was United States Ambassa-
dor, and they became warm friends
at that time. Sir Rennell and Lady
Rodd have been in Tokyo since then,
and are now enjoying an interesting
vacation before returning to the scene
of their former post with a we'll
earned promotion.
By the end Of this month all the
will be open except the
