that The major and superintendent OF

metropolitan police for the enforcement
of that act. -
The two officers so selected have per-

gence, efficiency and discretion.
The records show a total Of 375 places
of business employing children under six
teen years of age and that the aggregate
number of such children so employed TO
July 1, 1910. was $40.

Speed of Vehicles.

The act Of Congress of June %. 1906.
which regulates the speed OF vehicles,
took the subject out Of the jurisdiction OF
the Commissioners, who have recon-
mended to Congress that it be amended
so as to reconfer that power upon them
The increase in the numberoof rapidly
moving vehicles since the enactment OF
that law has rendered II advisable In the
interest Of public safety that less than
the present statutory limit be fixed as
the maximum rate OF speed, especially
at the approaches to bridges and railroad
stations, in the parks, near public gath
erings, theattrs and the like, and at
street crossings. The Commissioners SUBJ
mitted a draft Of bill to invest them
with the necessary authority In the prem
ieee, and recommend its enactment.

Regulations and Enforcement.

laws governing it. The majority OF the
dealers in Washington comply with the
regulations and would, undoubtedly, be
just as careful and honest in their deal
ings with the public without a law, and
appreciate the regular inspections and the
adjustments and repairs which are made
by this Office without charge, as pro-
lection.
It is q source Of satisfaction to them to
know that their scales. weights and meas
ures are correct at all times. But there
are many dealers who, without close
surveillance, impose on the public IN
practicing their fraudulent methods and
principally on the people who can least
afford the loss.
Markets in Good Shape.
With the exception Of the Georgetown
market, which is still self-sustaining, the
markets are reported in a prosperous
condition and the total receipts therefrom
are q source of revenue to the District.
Important and extensive repairs. covering
new sanitary stands, meat blocks. refrtg.
orators, painting, repairs to walks. and
for the installation Of modern plumbing
are being made at the Eastern. West
ernr and Georgetown markets with a spe-
cial appropriation made by Congress for
this purpose, which, however, is only a
little more than half the amount re-
quested and which is necessary to COM
piete the needed repairs and for which
an additional appropriation was recon-
mended by the superintendent in his esti-
mates for 1912.
While it is the desire to have the Dis
trict markets models as to cleanliness,
sanitation and appearance, it would be a
physical impossibility, even with large
adjacent streets used for market purposes
entirely free from litter at all times dur
ing market hours. The markets are
cleaned daily and every effort is made to
reduce to minimum the accumulation
of litter during market hours.
There were 14.789, 452 square feet Of
merchantable lumber reported inspected
during the year, an increase of Alta 75
square feet over the amount inspected
during the preceding year. Gross fees for
expenses. $1.491.92; net fees retained by
the inspectors for their services, s.. HIPS.
The inspectors and measurers of wood
reported 10. 7OS& cords Of wood measured.
Gross fees. 81. 774-25; expenses. 1915; net
fees also retained by them for their serv-
ices. $l.686.3O. showing an increase of
1854 cords compared with the number Of
cords inspected for the fiscal year 1909.
The public scales were sold at public
auction for one year from August l. 1909.
for the sum of $l.83564 for their use. Ex-
tensive repairs are being made to these
scales. which will place them all in good
condition.
In all cases where arrests have been
made by the superintendent or his repre-
sentatives for short weight, defective
measures or scales. etc. the maximum
amount of collateral Is required, and in
all cases where collateral is forfeited the
superintendent has been directed by the
Commissioners to procure bench warrants,
with q view to carrying the case to a
successful termination in the courts
Through this means much good has been
accomplished.

, MAKING HENS PAY.
skowheoan Man Who Reaps Profit Of
$3.50 Per Hen Annually.

Skowhegan, Mes, Aug. 5.-(SpeciaD
Three acres of ideal land, modern
poultry plant. and a splendid flock of
thoroughbred fowls, yielded d. O. Wells
of Skowhegan profit that ran we'll
into four figures last year. The en-
terprise has been simple business
proposition from the very beginning,
several years ago, and, proves once
more the excellence of the system de-
veloped by the Maine Experiment Sta
tioD under the late Prof. Gowell.
The plant itself consists of lay
ing house 26 ft.x15 it. built and ar
ranged after the Gowell plan. of which
the open front and the roosting clos
ct are the leading features. and
smaller brooding house near by. The
laying house is divided into pens 20
1t. lonS each containing about 20
fowls.
System is the keynote in Mr.. Wells
striking success, and this applies to
the feeding as to everything else. The
Orono dry mash is the slightly modi-
fed mainstay of the daily ration, but
this is literally supplemented by
cracked corn, wheat, ard barley. with
the usual allowance of green food.
The mash Of course is fed in hoppers.
while the grains are scattered IN the
litter to compel the exercise which Is
considered essential to good manage
ment r
The green feed is the Nonly part OF
the ration that is home grown. but the
quantity that Mr. Wells produces on
very limited area is certainly re-
markabe. Alfalfa, red clover. Hun
garian, and mangles flourish in man
ner that suggests that the high cost
of living should not be included among
the troubles of Skowheganites. At any
rate the well-kept kitchen garden left
little to be desired.
Marketing farm products is always
more of stumbling block than SIM
ply raising them. Mr. Wells doesn't
waste any time catering to the local
markets. He has too much stuff to
move SO he ships every bit of his out
put to a marketman in Boston.
Rhode Island Reds, Barred and
White Plymouth Rocks make up this
business flock. The exhibition brancn
of poultry culture doesn't appeal to
Mr.. Wells particularly, yet it is evil
dent that good looks receive quite a
little consideration.
Although working on so small an
area that he has to raise his chicks
on the same ground year after year,
Mr.. Wells gets the same effect as
changing around, by getting the young
stock off in the fall in time to pillow
and plant their yards. This manage
ment of an ideal soil gives results
that leave little to be desired.
The other features of the plant are
simply such as are usually regarded
as standard practice but the COM
bination is what brings in a neat an
nual profit of about $1:50 per hen.

LOSS OF HAIR
Oandruff and Itching ScaIp-smpIe
Way To Cure Them.

The most common cause of loss of
hair, dandruff and itching scalp Is
neglect. People don't wash the scalp
and hair often enough. Leading au-
thorities like DR.. J. c. Bayles and DR..
Woods Hutchinson of New York, and
Prof. Lassar of Germany recommended
frequent washing with mild, neutral
soaps. The best thing of all for this
purpose is Birt's Head Wash. because
it is made of a particularly fine soap,
medicated with glycerine, white of
eggs, cocoanut oil and salicylic acid.
Birts Head Wash makes a profuse
lather. and not only cleans the hair
and the outside scalp. but opens up
and cleanses the pores as we'll This
opening of the pores is most benefi-
cial and invigorating to the hair
roots, and does more to prevent the
loss of hair than all so-called "tonics''
put together. A single shampoo with
Birt's Head Wash will prove all these
i,iaims to your satisfaction. Ttfbes
