citizens display a more liberal spirit and
contribute more promptly with donations
to pay for the fireworks.

brought face to face with a heavy defcit,
and the announcement was made imme-
diately following July that no fireworks
would be arranged for July 4. 1919, unless
the money with which to pay for them
was in hand in ample time to purchase
and arrange for the display.

when individuals, male and female, Tor

behave exactly like the bad little boys
the day, or night, has been set aside.
Last Halloween was a quiet affatr, COM

haps the spirit of modern progress has
taken the charm out of the old Scotch

The Loyal Sex.
New York World


Analysis of the cases heard by the Chi
cago court of domestic relations shows
that while an incredible number of men
exhibit no scruple in abandoning their
wives and children in adversely, almost
no women desert their families under
PRESSURE of want
This is of course only statistical cor
roboration of popular belief. Whatever
masculine criticism has been leveled at
women on the score of fads and follies.
it has stopped short of questioning their
loyalty and devotion to home and chill
dren These are the vital objects of fem
mime concern, and where their welfare
is at stake women are ready to make
sacrifices and undergo privation Of
which men are constitutionally incapabl
If the female of the species is deadlier
than the male, she is also in all animate
nature truer to the ties of kindred. Man
may excel in heroic devotion to cause
or principle, but the best quality of his
courage cannot match that of woman
answering fidelity, at the cost of hun
ger and self-denial and even life itself,
to those dependent on her.

A New style in Black Shoes.
from the Shoe Retailer.

FrVm the ShOe K"taII"r
Tanners manufacturing chrome wax
calf report decided increase in the de-
mand for this leather. 1t is their opinion
that this can be accounted for by the
fact that those people who pay ST and ur
for their shoes want something different
from a gun metal that is now being worn
so extensively.
This leather gives them shoe that is
out Of the ordinary and at the same time
serviceable and neat appearing.

ALEXANDRIA.

ALEXANDRIA,, Va. January 1, 1919.
The biggest thing that this city looks
forward to for the new year, after a year
of marked progress on all sides. is de-
cision by Judge Bennett 7. Gordon Of
Nelson county. Va. in its annexation
suit. In the event this city obtains the
territory asked for. the present area Of
the city will be doubled, as the city asks
for q good part Of Alexandria and Fair
fax counties. The city's population would
also be considerably increased. deci-
sion in this case is expected during the
early part Of the coming month.
The year 1912 will go down as one Of
the most successful in the history of
Alexandria in recent years. More streets
have been improved, more sewers laid,
more buildings erected and more progress
made than ever before In recent years.
The coming twelve months promise to
even surpass the year just closed. Citi-
zens generally have taken up the ques-
ton of street improvements. and now
there are many applications pending be-
fore the city council asking for the i'm
provement OF streets with a modern road
way. In each instance the property own
ers agree to pay their proportion OF the
cost The result has been that where
one or more squares have been done the
owners OF property on the adjoining
squares ask for similar improvements.
Good sidewalks naturally follow In the
wake OF street improvements
Many Sewers Laid.
Most of the squares where these i'm
provements have been made have already
been laid with sewers. In many instances
uniform yranolithic sidewalks are also
being laid in connection with the i'm
provement Of the streets. Several squares
of unsightIy cobblestones have been taken
up and supplanted by modern asphalt
block, tar macadam or vitrified brick.
Forty-six permits for buildings. at a
total cost Of s13S. &C., were issued by CITY
Engineer Dunn during the year. For re-
pairs and alterations total OF 81 per-

Among the big buildings erected for
business and other purposes during the
year were a large bOttltng plant for the

The improvement of four squares on
North Washington street with asphalt
block has furnished that thoroughfare
with a modern roadway. and the COM
pletion of two squares on South Wash

four additional squares on the latter
street will be improved next summer
With the completion of two squares on
South Alfred street early next spring, the
Improvement of this street will also have
been completed.
During the year the city has been in
an exceedingly healthy condition, as is
evidenced from the death record, there
being but $40 deaths in the city during
the year. This is considerably less than
the usual number
Progress has gone forward in leaps and
bounds in Alexandria county during the
year. More houses have been erected in
this county this year than ever before in
it's history. Most of these houses have
been Of a very substantial character, and
those placed on sale have met with a
quick sale, it is stated.
Many good and substantial roads have
also been laid in the county, and many
more are contemplated by the board of
supervisors during the coming year.

provemcnts have been made especially
among stores that have mOderniZed their
buildings with new fronts. The store

Changes in City Laws.

City council during the year has made
many changes in the city laws. A new
set or rigid health laws has been adopted
to conform to the state laws on the
subject. The board Of fire wardens has
been abolished, and the affairs of the fire
department placed in the hands of a
committee of members Of the city coun-
Gil. together with the chief engineer of
the fire department.
During the year many organizations
have held their conventions in this city.
among them being state conventions of
Red Men, Degree of POcahontas, Retail
Merchants Association and Postmasters
convention of the state. The Order of
Owls, with a large membership, was
also added to the steadily increasing list
or fraternal orders represented here.
Real estate operators report consider
able activity during the year in real es-
tate. They assert that the streets which
have been improved have been responsible
for the enhancement in value of much
property. and this also has resulted in
many sales being made. There is a steady
demand reported for houses with modern
conveniences located on improved streets,
and the demand for such considerably
exceeds the supply, according to reports

FALLING HAIR MEANS
 DANDRUFf IS ACTIVE
Save your hair! Get a 25 cent bot.
 tie of Danderine right now.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of dandruff-t awful scurf.
 TLere is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverishness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight-now-anytime- will surely save your hair.
 Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter. and after the first ap- plication your hair will take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so, beautiful. It wifi become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance; an incomparable gloss and softness, but what will please you most will be after just few weeks use, when you will actually see lot of fine, downy hair-new hair growing all over the scalp.

JOE FALLIO ACQUITTED
 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT

A jury in the Jefferson County Cir cult Court yesterday morning acquit- ted Joe Fallio on charge of malic- ious mischief, the case growing out of an appeal from the magistrate court. wherein Fallio was found guilty. His offense, consisted of fir ing shotgun in the city limits, the shots from which entered the home of Special Agent w. D. Higinbotham on West Eighth avenue, and striking a young lady, Miss Williams, wnl was guest at the home. Fallio claimed that he was shooting at a mad dog, but neighbors testified that Fallio was i1 the habit of shooting pigeons and it was believed that lie was firing at the birds when the shots entered the home of MT. Hig- inbotham. Judge A. B.. Grace ad- ministered mild reprimand to the jurors, stating that, in his opinion the man was guilty.
