in the National Capital
The eastern part Of the District Of
Columbia has been especially diserimi-
mated against, and some seem 10 think
that If the land west of the Potomac is
ceded back by Virginia, the land east Of
the Eastern Branch will be ceded back
to Maryland"
Many OF the protestants said several
accidents have occurred since the lights
have been turned off-accidents that
might otherwise have been prevented.
c. c. Lancaster, OF the Northwest Citi-
zens' Suburban Association. said that Cen
gress appropriated money for the main
tenance of lights in the suburbs, and
unless they get permission from Congress
the Commissioners have no authority to
take these lights away from the citizens
we don't propose to pay taxes" he
said land have our money FILTERED away
on other things. We are not asking for
anything unreasonable. When Congress
meets we will get the money for these
lights II you can't get it.
IF you must save money, turn out the
lights at midnight. but don't deprive US
of them altogether. Wisconsin avenue
ought TO be lighted ali night. because of
the heavy traffic there: Georgia avenue
also ought TO have all night lights. but II
you are bent on economy cut off the
lights on the other streets at midnight"
Dr. r. w. FriSh,en. OF the Brool0land
Citizens Association. University Heights.
said: You must realize that we subur-
banites are not a bunch Of kckers, but
we have been grievously wronged, and We
want our rights.
Lights Are n Necessity.
THE lights are an absolute necessity in
the vicinity OF BroolIland for the safety
OF life and limb, and. to prove my asser-
ton. friend recently drove of the side
OF the road and narrowly escaped serious
injury in a spot that was so dark he
going. Only his presence of mind and a
keen sense Of direction saved him from
probably breaking a limb"
w, W. Price, on behalf OF the South
east Citizens Association. said that Dis
trict officials had improved the lights IN
| the northwest section at the expense OF
/ the suburban residents.
w. w. Richardson OF Benning. said
putting out the lights IN that section was
real hardship 10 the people.
After the arguments We're over. Com
missioner Rudolph said that the protests
would be considered and a decision an
nounced as soon as possible.
Formal Protest Made.
At a special meeting of the executive
committee Of the Citizens Northwest
Suburban Association. held AT the ONCE
OF the president Of the association in
the Corcoran Building yesterday after
noon. a resolution was adopted urging
the Commissioners 10 rescind their for
mer "hasty and unjust" order removing
the street lights from the highways OF
the suburbs IN the District
They protested against the removal OF

NO INCREASE FOR MECHANICS
Department Investigates Scale OF
Wages at Navv Yard.

NAkNN aA NaNE AANas
After an investigation OF the data sub
mitted by the employees OF the washing
ton Navy Yard. the Navy Department
has decided that an increase in wages for
the mechanics In the yard is not war
ranted.
1t was found that the average ply OF
mechanics employed by private firms was
smaller than the average paid the navy
yard men. The following statement was
given out by Acting Secretary Of the
Navy Winthrop:
After a very thorough and exhaustive
investigation Of the data submitted by
employees Of the Washington Navy Yard.
as well as information secured by the
commandment Of the yard and the wage
board, the Navy Department has reached
the conclusion that change in the pres
ent wage schedule for mechanics at the
Washington Navy Yard is not warranted.
In the case Of one trade II was found
that the conditions and character Of the
employment were entirely dissimilar in
eight Of the twenty-three establishments
from which data we're submitted by en-
ployes OF the yard; that the fifteen re-
naming firms employed in all eighty
seven mechanics. as compared with over
1900 at the yard; that Of these eighty
seven mechanics about 25 per cent were
rated first-class. as compared with about
GA per cent Of hrst-class mechanics in the
trade at the Washington Navy Yard; that
the average rate Of pay Of the eighty
seven mechanics was less than the aver
age rate at the Washington Navy Yard. -

The first young woman baseball and
football coach in the United States
has been found at Revere, Mass. She
is Miss Annie E. Bragdon. principal of
Wolcott school. She turns out nothing
but champion teams. She is getting
the boys ready for the baseball sea-
son. She said the other day:
During the ball season I win be on

give them all a tryout and then pick
our the best players for the different
positions. I'm looking particularly for

The hand of Leslie NJ. Shaw is re-
vealed in the formation of 100 Penn

market as one buyer they will be able

would be possible If they bought In

dispatch says. as to gradually gather
a guaranty fund, which Will enable
these banks to guarantee depositors
against loss by having 80 banks up

to be a gradual process and is to be
carefully worked out by the advisory
committee.

earning capacity through larger de-

bends for the stockholders.''
No doubt very many of the 100 bank
ers opposed vigorously the democratic
proposal to guaranty bank deposits.
No doubt, too, they criticised sharply
the Oklahoma bank deposits guaranty
law. Yet they purpose doing just what
the state of Oklahoma compels its
banks to do-create guaranty fund
for the security OF depositors with the
purpose Of increasing deposits in the
banks and enlarging the opportunities
for profit.

creatures to do is wrong. What the

do, Is right That is the philosophy Of

End Of . Remarkable Winter.


+; The passing winter-for winter will
not be officially ended, according to
the meteorologists and astronomers,
tintil March 81, on which date the sun
win cross the equator on its north
ward journey-is exciting some dis
-cussion. Never In IS years has there
heeu a winter to compare with this
one In the amount OF snow fall and
frigidity of the weather. The old
timer who remembers when "the Stow
was so high that standing on it you
could reach the telegraph wires" has
been nearly outdone by reality. His
"reminiscences can excite no awe IN
those who for the last three months
have heard sleigh bells, and measured
the seasons snowfall of 4S inches
an even four feet. The temperature
for December, January and February
averaged IT. degrees The lowest
was % below zero, and there were 81
days when the temperature reached
zero or lower.
March, yet to be lived through, is a
winter month. a fact established be-
yond debate by the records of the
local weather bureau station For in
stance, during March, 1886, the total
snowfall was 23.s inches, or the heav-
lest monthly amount of that winter

or more than was precipitated during
the entire winter prior to March.
Nine years ago Tin 1901 March pro
duced IL inches OF snow.
Fortunately March SHOWS seldom re-
main long and zero temperatures are
exceptional. So that, even with a
couple weeks of the ground hogs six
yet to be lived through, there Is as
surance that the worst Is over.

Hair Health
If You Have Scalp or Hair
Trouble, Take Advantage
of This Offer.

We could not afford to so strongly
endorse Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and
continue to sell It as we do, II we
were not certain that 1t would do all
we claim 1t will. Should our enthus-
iasm carry us away, and Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic not give entire satisfac-
ton to the users, they would lose
faith in us and our statements, and
in consequence our business pres
tige would suffer.
Therefore, when we assure you
that If your hair is beginning to un-
naturally fall out or If you have any
scalp trouble, RexalI "9S" Hair
Tonic will promptly eradicate dan
druff, stimulate hair growth and pre-
vent premature badness, you may
rest assured that we know what we
are talking about.
Out of 100 test cases Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic gave entire satisfaction in
SO cases. 1t has been proved that
it will grow hair even on bald heads,
when, of course, the badness had
not existed for SO long a time that
the follicles, which are the roots of
the hair. had not become absolutely
lifeless.
RexalI "93" Hair Tonic is vastly
different from other similar prepa-
rations. We believe that it will do
more than any other human agency
toward restoring hair growth and
hair health. 1t is not greasy and
will not gum the scalp or hair or
cause permanent stain. II is as
pleasant to use as pure cold water.
Our faith in Rexall "93" Hair Tom
&c is S. strong that we ask you to
try it on ou- positive guarantee that
your money will be chcerruily re-
funded without question or bubble
IL IT does not do as we claim. Ger
