CARNIVAL OF AUTOMOBILES.
Day and Night Events to Be Held
on 18th Street.

A carnival and floral automobile parade
will be given by the Automobile Club of
Washington Immediately after Easter. if
plans now on foot are carried out. The
events will be held in 10th street, the
parade in the afternoon and the carnival
at night. A king and queen of the carni-
val will be elected by popular vote.
The fact that there are no street car
tracks in 10th street and that it is bril-
liantIy lighted at night make it an ideal
place for the parade and carnival, it is
said.
In the parade there will be four d.
visions, one for electric pleasure vehicles,
another for gasoline pleasure cars,
third for commercial cars and fourth
for racing cars. The cars will all be
deliberately decorated.
Grotesque decorations will be the order
at night and prizes will be awarded for
the most ingenious and amusing deco
rationS of cars.
There are more than 5000 automobile
owners in Washington, and 1T is expected
the entry list will be large. The entry
fee has not yet been determined, but the
proceeds will be used to defray the ex-
penses Of the events.
The Automobile Club is also planning
hill climb during April similar to that
held last fall, a sociability run to Gettys-
burg and .Antietam and a six-day en-
durance run to Cleveland, Ohio, and re-
turn. The last Is to be held in June.

WOULD REQUIRE PERMITS |
FOR BUYING REvOLvERS.
Maj. Sylvester Wants New
Law Regarding Possession
and Carrying of Pistols.

1t is the intention Of Maj. Sylvester to
renew his efforts to have Congress
amend the law regarding the possession
and carrying of revolvers. Two years
ago the chief of police had bill framed
for the purpose of better regulating the
sale and possession of such weapons, but
it failed Of passage. Members Of the
Senate, It is stated, found objection to
some of the provisions it contained.
In the first place." said Maj. Sylvester
to a Star reporter today, II would have
the factories number every pistol they
manufacture. Most Of the pistols are
made to sell at prices ranging from 81 to
IS and they are embellished in order to
make it easy to find purchasers for them.
"Such PISTOLS Maj. Sylvester de-
clared. ARE seldom numbered, and when
almost impossible to trace them. These
weapons should be numbered the same
as watches.
Personally" he added, II think the
manufacture Of such weapons ought
not be permitted. Their manufacture
and sale is merely a matter Of com
mercialism, but so long as their manu-
facture is permitted the makers should
be compelled to number them"
Maj. Sylvester thinks the law should
responsible persons, and then only
after they have made a showing to the
police department. court or other au-
thorities. He would require those
wishing to buy reviewers to state, I'M
der oath, the reasons for wanting arms.
Such persons who would make the
necessary affidavtts showing they
wanted weapons for legitimate pur-
poses would be given q permit to
make such purchase.
The chief of police favors the enact
ment Of a law imposing a severe pen
atty for sales made under other con-
ditions. He also favors a more strin-
gent law for the punishment Of offend
ers against the provision of law
against the carrying of concealed
weapons.

In an accident at the census Office has

In the operations already performed at
tempts have been made to graft skin
from both men and women on her head
The grating of the skin of men has
proved failure, it is said, while that
taken from women has given satisfactory
results.
Fl. S. Houghton, father of Miss Houeh-
ton, would not discuss the matter, but
other members of her family expressed
surprise over the small amount Of money
appropriated by Congress to reimburse
the injured girl. An appropriation of
81. 900 was made by Congress to meet the
hospital expenses Of Miss Houghton, and
she was also allowed years pay, about
, $500. a brother of the girl declared the
expenses will amount to about $1,000.
The treatment is said to be costing about
