DISTRICT BILLS ARE
PASSED IN SENATE,
AID FOR PENSIONS
Police and Firemen'S Fund
Measure Among Those to
Go Through.

The Senate put through seven District
bills yesterday. One of them is the
Martin measure for the relief of the
police and firemen's pension fund.- by
turning over to that fund enough re-
ceipts from licenses to make up the de-
flciency.
The other bills passed were as fol-
lows:
Appropriating $4,000 for the estab-
lishment of a home for feeble-minded
children.
To regulate the practice of dentistry
and provide for a board of dental exam
liners and q system of licensing.
To give the Police Court concurrent
jurisdiction with the Supreme Court Of
the District in cases of ARRAYS and
disorderly houses.
Making the law more strict with re-
spect to disinterments of the bodies Of
those who have died of contagious dis
eases. and providing the grave shall
be unopened for at least five years.
For the extension of New Hampshire
avenue in a straight line as far as the
District line.
For extending Buchanan street north
west, between Piney Branch road and
Sixteenth street, and the abandonment
of Piney Branch road between Allison
and Buchanan streets.
The Senate bill for the relief of the
fremens and police pension fund is
different from the Redfeld bill, which
has passed the House. making the APP
preparation to supply the deficiency out
of the property tax. The Commission
ers oppose the Redfeld plan as in vio-
lation OF the half-and-half principle.
The dental bill is a matter OF bitter
controversy before the House District
Committee. The bill is said to be an at
tempt on the part of the 'ethicar
dentists to drive out dentists who ad-
vertise, and It is charged that scheme
| for a dental trust Is on foot and is the
real object back OF the bill.

Soft Water Available Everywhere.

Every woman knows the luxury Of
having soft water at her command, es-
pecially for washing clothes, but Nature
has denied this luxury to many, espe-
cially TO those living in cities or In
hard water" countries.
However, every woman can have soft
water in her home with little trouble
and less expense. The sprinkling of
Gold Dust washing powder in the water
from your taps or well will make it as
soft as the rain water that falls from
the clouds. Gold Dust takes out the
mineral substances that make the
water hard and brings out the greatest
cleansing value.
