Railway Commissioners In.
dorse States Rights Plan.
IN SUPREME COURT BRIEF
Resolution Adopted at Today's Ses.
sion of the National
Association.

The National Association of Railway
Commissioners today adopted resolutions
approving the recent action OF the con-
vention of governors of various states at
Spring Lake, n. J., in authorizing the
presentation to the Supreme Court Of the
United States of brief supporting the
right of states to regulate freight rates
within their borders.
In the report Of the committee on leg
islation submitted by Chairman Laurence
b. Finn of Kentucky. which was unani-
mously adopted. the convention approved
the protests of the committee in regard
to the Minnesota rate case and the Ken
lucky rate case, involving the rights Of
the states.
John G. Richards. jr., of South Caro-
lima. in offering the original resolution
favoring the action of the governors. for
which was substituted revised reSolu-
ton, offered by John E. Benton of New
Hampshire. stated that the association
ought TO put itself on record on this
question in order to let the public know
that they. as well as the governors, are
awake to present conditions.
His remarks were seconded by III. War
ner Hill Of Georgia.
Argument Of Opponents.
1t was contended by opponents of the
resolution that the action Of the gov
errors was question: ble,'' and the adop-
ton of any resolution putting the asso-
citation on record favoring the extending
OF sympathy to that body while the ques-
ton is still involved in the courts would
be an insult to the dignity Of the Supreme
Court.
Upon the conclusion of the discussion
the convention took up the statistics of
accounts. which occupied a great part
Of today's discussion.
Express Resolutions Lost.
After long discussion yesterday the
commissioners voted down the resolution
favoring abolishing the express companies
Of the country by compelling the rail-
roads to take over the express business
The resolution. which had been offered
by Commissioner George Rice of South
Dakota. was referred at first to the COM
mittee on express service and rates.
Owing to the brief time which the con-
vention had Investigated the express seiv-
Ice. 1t decided that 1t did not have
sufficient information at this early date
to warrant adopting such broad legtsla.

prohibit express companies from owning

street improvements Wanted.

That the attitude Of District officials is
that Anacostia. is too far away when
improvements to streets and sidewalks
are to be made, but Ahacostia is not too
far when tax bills are to be sent out, was
the comment made at the meeting. The
laying of, sidewalks on several streets in
Anacostia was the subject OF discussion.
Dor at least u year and half. it was
declared, some OF these improvements
have been contemplated, under the per-
init system. and promise was made
cestia not later than October 1. But
he has not come. 1t was stated. and now
a promise is made for the latter part Of
this month. The complaint the members
of the association. made Is when they
are willing to pay for the improvements
something should be done to expedite the
work

TO GROW HAIR on
A BALD Head

Thousands of people suffer from bald
ness and falling hair who, having tried
nearly every. advertised hair tonic and
hair grower without results, have resigned
themselves to badness and it's attendant
discomfort. Yet their case is not hope
less; the following simple home prescrip-
ton has made hair grow after years Of
badness, and is also unequaled for re-
storing gray hair to Its original color,
stopping hair from falling out. and de-
stroying the dandruf germ. 1t will not
make the hair greasy, and can be put up
by any druggist: Bay Rum, ounces;
Lavona de Composee, 2 ounces; Menthol
Crystals, one-half drachm. II you wish
1t perfumed, add half to one teaspoonful
Of To-Kalon Perfume, which unites per-
fectly with the other ingredients. This
preparation is highly recommended by
physicians and specialists, and IL abso-
lutely harmless, as 1t contains none Of
the poisonous wood alcohol SO frequently
found In hair tonics. Do not apply to-
the face or where hair 10 not desired.
All these ingredients are simple. stand

ALL OVER IN A WEEK
WILLIAMS STAY IN BOARDING
HOUSE SHORT AND SWEET.
Gave Every Evidence Of Being Ex-
perieneed 6oarder and His Smart
Sayings and mannerisms Were
Talk of House.

hHen young Mr.. Williams came to
our boarding house It was plain to
every one that this was not his first
experience at boarding.
In fact. his actions seemed to indI-
cate that he was old and experienced
in the life OF boarding, and that he
had come TO us from some other
boarding house, or possibly from 8
succession OF them.
II was shown in the aplomb with
which he assured Mrs Hicks that he
invariably paid his board on pay day,
and that his pay day came on Satur-
| day. ignoring her somewhat distorted
statement that she insisted on pay in
advance In every case.
II was further shown in the way
he skilfully Tipped the covering off
the bed in his hall bedroom and ap-
praised the condition OF the sheets
with judicial eye, his opinion, good
or bad, being represented by a non
commital grunt
He was a normal young man, was
MT. Williams. He had just the nor
ma amount Of baggage. His face was
so nearly normal that people he knew
would forget to speak to him. He
was OF medium height and weight.
and so far as we could see had but
one suit OF clothes. and that an ordi-
nary dusty, brownish gray
His appetite. too. proved normal.
He had a typical boarding house appe-
lite that pushed aside those things IL
did not want and insisted on a double
supply Of those It did Il was a dis
eliminating appetite that refused to
accept things the nature of which did
not appear on the surface.
Immediately after supper Mr.. vii
liams sat on the front steps and re-
garded fellow bOarders with specula-
tive eye BeirG q normal boarder, with
what might be called an abnormal
nerve, he easily decided that Miss
Amy Crothsweight, who was stenog-
rapher in the roller mills Office. was
the only one OF US worthy OF his at
tentiOn. And In fifteen minutes he
and Miss Amy went for a walk, head
ing, Of course. toward the drug store
soda fountain. Miss Amy. too. prided
herself upon her dignity.
When they came back Mr. Williams
had some chewing gum, which he
passed about.
Next day he was wearing a tie we
recognized as belonging to Dir VIII
loughby. Mr.. Willoughby, when
pressed. admitted that he ard Mr..
Williams had become somewhat chum-
my.
Toward the end OF the week Mrs.
Hicks was taking an unusual interest
in Mr.. Williams. She quoted him to
the girls, and would tell the boys how
smart he was.
He was the most ingratiating per
son, was young Mr.. Williams. and, as
everybody got to liking him. his say
ings and mannerisms were the talk
of the house
On Saturday he did not appear at
the table. Mrs. Hicks said he was
called out OF town. He didn't come
back either.
His trunk was hauled by Jim. the
porter. to the junk room, and We did
the best we could to forget him. We
have often wondered II he went
abroad, or was killed by motor
cycle, but have never learned.
It's always that way, for people
come and go like guests at our board
ing house.-Dallas News.
