AN OBJECT LESSON
Alexandria County High School Pupils
Declared From Washington
Institutions

The nonresident school law is caus-
ing considerable trouble in the
schools of Alexandria county, be-
cause, it is stated, there are about
30 high school pupils who formerly
attended the schools Of the District
OF Columbia who will be ruled out
by the new measure There is now
no high school in Alexandria county.
The above statement is suggestive,
end will add weight o the many rea-
SONS recently urged in the Circuit
Court of Alexandria county to show
that certain portions, at least, of that
county should be annexed to AleXan-
dria city.
At the meeting of the City Council
on Tuesday night the City School sent
a communication requesting an APP
preparation of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of erecting a high school build
ing on ground lying partly in Alex
andria city and partly in Alexandria
county. People living in places con-
tiguous to this city, and which are
the natural outgrowth of Alexandria,
endeavor at the beginning Of each
school term to get permits for their
children to attend schools in Alex
andria. Under present conditions
this cannot be allowed. During the
present month parents living in New
Alexandria have applied for permits
for their children. Many residing on
Franklin, Patrick and other streets
in the southwestern section, are COM
PEELED to send thheir children long
distances in order that they may re-
ceive tuition.

Milady's
Mirror
How to Be Beautiful.

81 want TO look as pretty as possible,
but l have lamentably little time TO
spend in beauty processes" is the cry
of the busy woman There is every
excuse apparently for the daily inatten-
ton TO the small cares of the toilet. but
at the same time the girl who negiects
her appearance is paying too great d
price and is her own worst enemy.
Now is the moment TO begin a sys-
tematized plan of campaign and TO fol-
low some OF the rules laid down here.
The care OF the hands and nails is an
important matter. Keep on the toilet
table jar of lemon juice and glycerin
mixed. and every time the hands are
washed and dried rub this lotion well
into the cuticle This will take barely
a minute and will keep the hands soft
and white. A little damp brown sugar
rubbed into the hands when they are
particularly soiled win in many cases
remove any stains.
Nails that are brittle are the despair
of many women. but IL a little vaseline
is used every night the trouble may be
overcome. or a very good paste to rub
in at night after the hands are washed
and the nails cleaned is composed OF
an ounce of white vaseline mixed with
one dram OF powdered CASTLE soap.
The busy woman often suffers from
tired feet Sometimes this feeling
arises from high heeled shoes. OF tx
may be the reverse case. for shoes that
are down at the heels are just as
likely to produce the same effect. III
the engagements of the day are TO be
fulfilled without undue fatigue. then
the proper poise of the body must be
maintained, and this is impossible II
comfortable footgear is not worn.
Bathing the feet at night in hot wa
ter and a little soda will relieve the
tired and swollen feeling. and 1t is a
good plan to powder the soles with
boracic acid powder. mixed with a
little orris root. if perfume is desired.
Not only should a good skin food be
used for the face. but attention must
also be given to the neck. The recent
fashion of wearing low collars has
proved very beneficial for the busy
woman, wko has doubtless seen a
great improvement in the shape Of her
throat and color of the skin. and even
though high collars may again be in
vogue it will be we'll for many women
to keep the plan of wearing the round
collar in the house.
To build up the tissues Of the skin
and to massage the neck and throat

THE DIcTAGRAPH.

We dare not have a quiet game
OF poker on the sly,
We dare not kiss pretty girl
When not soul Is nigh,
We dare not talk about our friends
Or tell a joke, or laugh,
Because 1t may be lurking near
The tattling dictagraph.
No larks behind the teachers back
Nor mischief in the school,
Nor gossip at the sewing club,
Where gossip Is the rule.
For any place though it may be
Not big enough by half.
To hide a mouse, may yet conceal
The truthful dictagraph.
When night let's fall its starry veil,
And we retire to bed,
No more beneath it do We search
For burglars grim and dread.
But In a fuller measure yet.
The cup of fear we quaff;
We look behind the picture frames
To find dictagraph.
I'd like to speak my mind about
The man who first conceived
This conscience in a collar box,
This spy that has me peeved.
I'd like to meet him in the dark
And have an oaken staff.
I'd like-but hush. 1t may be near,
The telltale dictagraph.

DESCRIBES HONOLULU.

Mr. Harry Shepherd, a former Rich
mond boy and who recently joined the
army writes the following concerning
Honolulu which is of interest to his
many friends here:
Honolulu is the capital of the Haw-
allan Islands, it is 1900 miles from
San Francisco. 1t has population of
about $4,000 consisting mostly of jap
anese and Chinese. Honolulu is called
the Paradise Of the Pacific and it GER
tainly is. In your travels through the
states I suppose you saw many beauti-
full scenes, but don't believe you saw
any thing that could beat the Hawaii
an Islands.
The city has 172 parks. The most
popular parks are Moanalulu Park.
This is in the western part of the city
the next one being the Waikiki Beach,
both places being very beautiful If
you could see some of the driveways
with their large stately palm trees on
each side and all kinds of flowers you
would agree with me in saying it is
beautiful.
Honolulu has excellent water and
light systems and good street car SER
vice couldn't begin to tell you how
beautiful this city is but l will send
you some cards and let you see for
yourself. We are on the Island of
Oahu pronounced "Wahu."
Schofeld Bk's is % miles northwest
of Honolulu on the Oahn Railroad and
Land Co. To see one Of the trains for
the first time 1t would look to you
the same as it did to me. 1t looked
to me for the first time like a string

are very small but they can run some.
We are stationed in the heart of the

world. We are three miles from a JAP

INCLINED TO GET INTO RuTs

Everyone is inclined to get into ruts
For one thing it is easy. For another
some people dislike doing the unusual
for fear of being talked about or
laughed at. Laziness, Indifference or
self consciousness holds its tight and
fast in the same routine Of living year
in and year out.
Women shut themselves out of much
that is live and vital by not joining
some of the women's clubs that are
now so important a part of life
They are shutting out whole uni
verses when they confine themselves
to one line of reading.
Indeed one can create many new
worlds for him or herself as the case
may be by bringing into the lives new
interests. 1t is one of the most eff
fective ways of keeping young. Try
it this week.
