COMMISSIONER MALTBIE PLEASED

When asked yesterday about the proposed
operation Of a railway by the city without con-
sulting the Public Service Commission. Com
missioner Matbie said:
What have l got to say? Why, I say. Thank
the Lordl The only wonder is that the city
waited so long before doing IL. II should have
been done long ago I'm glad that some one
woke up. There is no doubt about the profit
abIeness OF the undertaking. With an equip
ment that cost probably less than 100000 the
three companies now operating the trolley SER
vice the Williamsburg Bridge have been
clearing up profit OF about so per cent. to
say nothing of 100000 year appropriated for
salaries for doing little or nothing"
II think the cars will be running by Saturday
night If the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment sanctions the transfer OF the balances I
have asked for" said Commissioner Stevenson
last night. eeI think there can be no doubt Of
the legality of the procedure. The lower courts
have sustained the Board OF Estimate and Ap-
pOrtionment in granting a franchise TO an Oper-
atIng company over the bridge. despite the Wig
orous opposition Of the Public Service Commits
sion. The people of Queens need the facilities.
and II looks now as II they would have them on
the double quick"
Chief Engineer Martin Of the Bridge Depart-
ment estimates the traffic at 10000 a day at
least, and that, allowing outside figures on the
cost OF operation. the city should make at least
50 a day free and clear. with a prospect OF IN
creasing the profits with the Increase of traffic
The city's equipment is TO be furnished by

Order. Sons ofo America Camp Vandegrift
Heights, Pa, says that In his town there is
n baseball association which floats n pen-
nant on which Is the!- name above the daa
Quite a number OF PEOPLE of the town are
objecting to this, claiming that it is using
the flag for advertising purposes. especially
as 1t is foated only while they are playing
ball. ad ~
They claim that there is special rullnp
allowing ball teams to float a pennant above
the flag during games, and Mr. Johnson
wants to know whether their statement Is
correct or not.
1t is not.
There is but one flag which is permitted
to noat above the Stars and Stripes. and
that Is the Church pennant, white spike
tailed pennant with blue cross In the cen
ter. This pennant goes to the main above
the Flag when divine services are being
held at sea or In post or camp There is no
other emblem on earth that is permitted by
the Government to float above the Flag. In
fact it is a wanton insult to the National
Emblem to put any kind of advertising on
1t. or over 1t. or to make 1t subservient to
any other emblem.
The Flag law OF PENNSYLVANIA positively
prohibits any such exhibition of lsloyalty

The Dying Soldier and Memorial Day.

By Mai. u Il. Lowell, d. D., Syracuse, N. Y.
Well, John, the end draws near, that's sure
cannot long this pain endure,
'Tis sad, but true;
Stern Natures law must have Its way,
And we must surely halt some day,
Who wore the blue.
1t makes my grieved heart break to know
That soon all soon, we boys must go
The way of MI;
Yes. all us boys who fought so well,
And pressed the foe to gates OF hell,
At cOuntry's call.
But. John, 1t makes this proud heart swell
To know we did our duty well.
Tho many fell;
And where Old Glory Ger us waved;
And bade us 20, the foe we braved,
Yes, fought and fell.
Yes. John, it soothes my aching pain,
As in my thought l see again,
Memorial Day;
And note with pride on many a grave
The grand old Flag they died to save,
Waving today.
No, no, dear John. don't think me weak,
Because of these sad thoughts l speak
With falling tears:
For well / know sweet fOw'rs Will lay
On my poor grave Memorial Day.
In future years.
Forgive me, Lord, IL e'er said
THE Nation prizes not Its dead,
Its boys In blue;"
This hallowcd, sweet. Memorial Day,
When loyal hearts their homage pay,
Prove it yet true.
So. John. at the great Kings behest.
I'll calmly lay me down to rest,
And then. Al8ck!
Joining my comrades. gone before,
I'll rest with them forever more
In heavens bivouac.

A new Circle, Gilmore, is reported
from New York City, inaugurating its
entrance to the Department by a series
of very successful social gatherings,
notably a barn dance, followed by
euchre and luncheons.
The Mary T. Hager Staff Association,
of Chicago, gave the first of its series
of Summer euchre parties last week at
the home of Mrs. Annie Ayres, Assistant
National Inspector. The prizes were
very pretty and the luncheon most
beautiful. She was assisted in serving
by her daughter, Mrs. Amy Ayres
Means, who is an honorary member OF
the staff. This Association will soon
serve a buffet breakfast in honor OF
Mrs. Genevieve Longfield-Lane at the

How to Keep Your Hair Young and
Beautiful.


! know that every woman desires
beautiful hair, and if they will follow
my rules they will have as long, soft
and fluffy hair as l have. In the first
place, 1 wash my head well once or
twice a month with shampoo made as
follows: Take half of a ten-cent cake of
pure CASTLE soap, shave fine, dissolve
this in half a pint of water with aid of
gentle heat; when dissolved beat in the
yolk of one egg and juice of one lemon;
stir until cold. Rub little of this into
the roots of the hair, and rinse thor
oughly with warm water and dry. I
also use quinine hair tonic freely,
which keeps the scalp clean and the
hair in a beautiful and healthy condi-
ton, and is especially good for dandruff
and falling hair. l find the best tonic
can be made by mixing half pint of
alcohol with half a pint of water and
adding one ounce of beta quinol
Qiquid). This makes a quinine hair
tonic better than the high-priced inn
ported makes, and whole pint only
costs 65 to IS cents. l am sure if every
lady will try this recipe they will al
ways have young and beautiful hair,
and plenty of 1t.
