COLONIAL BEACH IS
PLANNING CARNIVAL
TOLAST THREE DAYS
Dance, Sports, And Costume
Parade Will Mark the
\ Celebration.

Colonial Beach is preparing to have
the celebration of its history during
the three days beginning August e. A
mammoth carnival, which promises to
eclipse anything ever before under
taken by that river resort community, is
now being planned. and invitations to
the public in general to be present have
been issued.
The carnival will be designated as
Colonial Week" The cottages and
nival fashion. Contests and games Of
various kinds are being planned. and
the 'city fathers" under whose aus
pices the affair will be given, desire the
presence of visitors with a view Of
showing them what rapid strides Colo
NAL Beach has taken recently.
The idea Of having Colonial Week
was originated by Mayor H. W. B. Will
liams and one or two of the councilmen.
/ One Of the features Of the celebration
will be a dance to be given on the big
pavilion over the water. in which colo
ntal costumes will be worn by the par
Elephants. Baseball games. aquatic
sports. and athletic contests OF various
kinds are to be included IN the program.
The carnival will close with a burlesque
costume parade on the boardwalk.
An effort to secure the services Of the
Marine Rand for the three days is be-
ing made.
The costumed ball to be given on the
water pavilion, will be in charge of a
special committee of women. Each
participant will be costumed in Colonial
style, with powdered hair and patches.
Prizes will be given for the most beau
tiful costume.
The ball will be preceded in the day
time by a tournament IN which some
of the best known knights" in Vir-
ginia, Maryland, and the District will
battle" for Colonial Beach's fair
danes The day for the tournament
and the ball has not yet been selected.
A decorated boat parade on the river
at night is another feature planned.
Already a score of Washington boat
owners have agreed to enter floats.
Rowing crews from Washington, Bal
timore, and Richmond racing in their
own boats, promise to add a tinge Of
excitement to the celebration.

Did you ever see a freak bill. with
a twenty-dollar face and a ten-dollal
back, or O. ten-dollar face and twenty
dollar back?
There are several such freaks out
standing in the United States. but Di'
rector Joseph E. Ralph. Of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing has made
them decidedly scarce. There has not
been such a bill turned out under his
regime for three years or more In
fact such bills always have been so
scarce that but few persons living today
have seen them, and when one bobs up,
1t IS Of great interest.
These bills are perfectly good cur
rency, though your favorite barkeeper
may turn you down on one. They are
recognized by the Treasury as United
States currency, as redeemable for full
face value, the same as any other Treas
ury or national bank note.
Worth Face Value.
That face value is the crux Of the
whole problem of handling such mon
grel notes. If one of your old friends
has a ten-doIlar note with a twenty
dollar back, don't compromise and give
him S15 for it. 1t is only worth $loS the
face value. On the other hand, II the
face Of the note calls for twenty iron
simoleons, it matters not whether the
back says ten dollars or five dollars, or
even one dollar. You can collect go
for it. and If nobody else wants to cash
in on it. the redemption division of the
Treasury will.
Most of the freak bills which have
been issued in the past have found there
way back to the Treasury, because peo-
pie receiving them were generally du-
bious regarding their value incidentally
the Treasury Department always well
comes them back, and they are immedi-
ately classed as worn out currency, and
destroyed.
The last mixed denomination bill, to
make its appearance in the marts Of
trade was an old one, which evidently
had been horded as a keepsake. 1t
was turned into the subtreasury in New
York about a year ago. The sub
sent II Immediately to the re-
demption division. This note was good
for $40, as it had a double x face.
Treasury officials estimate that there
is less than a dozen such bills at pres

Howe Travel Festival
At Columbia Sunday

With the interesting pictures Of the
coronation of King George, the only
repetition, and that by reason Of the
demands of patrons, the Lyman H.
Howe New York Hippodrome Travel
Festival will return to the Columbia
Theater next Sunday evening with a
program embracing twenty new fea-
lures.
The hazardous and difficult task OF
reaching the highest peaks of the Alps

heretofore impossible for the moving
picture camera because of climatic con-
ditions. The spectators obtain remark
able birds eye views Of the Rhone VAL
ley in a car of the Wetterhorn Suspen-
sion railway by means of which the
climbers were transferred from one AL
pine peak 10 another. Other pictures
include a microscopic study of water,
a ride on the River Danube from Pas
sau to Vienna, new snapshots of the
London Zoo, Krimmel waterfalls in the
Austrian Tyrol, shooting the dangerous

many humorous incidents.

How to ''Shed" A
Bad Complexion

It's foolish to attempt to cover up
or hide a saIlow complexion, when
you can so easily remove the sallow-
ness, or the complexion itself. Rouge
and the like on a brownish skin, only
emphasize the defect. The better way
10 to apply pure mercolized wax-the
same as you would cold cream-put-
ting It on at night, removing 1t In the
morning with warm water and soap,
following with dash of cold water.
The effect of a few applications IL
simply marvellous. The half-dead
cuticle is absorbed by the wax-pafn-
lessly, gradually, in tiny impercep-
tible understanding the beauti-
full velvetly white new skin beneath.
No woman need have a sallow,
blotchy, p1mply or freckled complex
ion II she'll just go to the druggists,
get some good mercolized wax and
use as suggested.-Woman's Realm

ent outktanding. Most of them are
being hugged to the bosoms OF curio
hunters, and the public seldoms gets q
glimpse at them. No effort to collect
them ever has been made by tho Treas
ury Department, as their status is
legally fixed by 'the face value" No
premium for their return ever has been
offered. and 1t is unlikely that one ever
will be offered.
Such bills used to filter through the
Bureau of Engraving every once in a
while, despite the most careful scru-
tiny, on the part of engravers and four
inspectors. They would so to the Treas
ury Department in stacks, and there re-
ceive the signatures OF the treasurer
of the Treasury without ever being
turned over.
Wonderful System.
This was before the bureau was un-
der the watchful eye Of Director Ralph,
who has built up wonderful system.
Not for three years or more has such
a note been printed without being de-
tected before It left the bureau. When
such errors are discovered the mis-
printed sheet is laid aside to be de-
1t cannot be torn up at once,
as every sheet OF paper upon which the
currency Is printed has to he accounted
for. II the printer should lose a sheet,
he is accountable for 1t. After 1t is
perfectly certified out by q committee,
1t is put in the macerator and de-
stroyed.
Thousands of such safeguards sur
round the printing of Uncle Sam 8
money. Every plate and die has to be
accounted for before any Of the per-
sons handling it can leave the building.
When not in use these plates are locked
in a great steel safe.
How do these misprints occur2 Tho
answer is comparatively simple. The
notes are printed in sheets, and not
singly. Usually in printing banknotes,
in which most of the misprints have
occurred, there will be one twenty and
two tens on a sheet They arc printed
on one side at a time, SO 1t can be
seen that the printer, in turning over
q sheet, might get II upside down, and
thus put a $50 back on q $40 note,
and at the same time put $40 back on
a $50 note. These sheets, after being
printed, pass the scrutiny Of many pairs
Of eyes used to the work OF detection
Of any defect, but, being all human,
they are not infaliible. They are SO
used to inspection that occasionally II
gets to be mechanical.

JUST A FEW MINUTES
to SHAMPOO This WAY

. To-day fewer women than ever be-
fore depend on the hair-dresser for
shampooinG" writes Mrs. Mae Mar
tyn, in the Los Angeles News. THE
reason for this" she continues, "is
because of the almost general use of
canthrox for cleaning the scalp and
hair.
"A teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved IN a cup of hot water is enough
for a good shampoo. This should be
poured on the head slowly and the
scalp rubbed briskly. The rich lather
neutralizes the oil and loosens dust
and dandruff. After rinsing, the scalp
Is sweet and clean, while the hair
dries very quickly and is left glossy,
fluffy and easy to do up. So little
time and labor is required with can
throx that shampooing is a positive
delight"
