mrs. HENDERSON AIDS
. sign RESTRICTION
: Mistress Of "Castle" Would Impose
Fine on Dealers Posting Prop
erty Without Permission.
DARK BACKGROUND IMPROVES


Mrs. John B. Henderson, mistress of
the famous Henderson Castle" at Six
teenth Street and Florida Avenue, is In
favor Of restricting the size Of real estate
sign boards. as proposed by the Smith
amendment to the District appropriations
bill Mrs. Henderson would impose a
large fine on real estate agents placing
their signs on property without the con-
sent Of the owner.
Mrs. Henderson points out that could
full license be allowed for billboards.
the whole town would be for sale and
desperately hard to SELL
There would be less objection to signs
. in Washington If carefully regulated"
said Mrs. Henderson yesterday. II sug-
gest that they be no larger than one by
one and a half feet in size, and that the
background be either black or dark green
IN color. Also that a large fine be i'm
posed on those who place their signs on
property without the written permission
of the owner.
Our trouble in Sixteenth Street has
been to eliminate large, glaring, and un-
slightly billboards. which are generally
placed on vacant lots, and oftener than
not, without permission or knowledge Of
the owner OF the lot

MARIE11ANs


1t is said to be lucky, or a good
omen, for a girl to resemble her ia
Their and a boy his mother. This fact
occurred to us in thinking of two in
teresting members of Marietta fam
ily-Miss Regina Elizabeth Rambo
and her brother, Marcellus. You need
not grin nor smile inwardly at this
assertion because it appears to you
that between this lovely girl and
blanee than there is between pink
and white blossoms in spring and
russell fruit on the same tree in Oc-
tober. You thought Dr. Rambo was
joking when he laughingly boosted
that Regina was like her father
but she really is.
AS for DR.. Marcellus RambO, he is
strikingly like his mother III ap-
pearance, manner and disposition.
With all his refined gentleness and
quiet, reserved manners, however, he
is not effeminate, nor too good to be
true He can fight, but understands
the better value of tact and diploma
cy, which all dentists and doctors,
not to mention surgeons and nurses,
find so necessary to success.
When he left New York for Brazil
to enter upon the practice of den
tistry in his native city of Rio de
Janeiro, he took with him on the
steamer five trunks of clothing,
household linen, towels, napkins,
sofa pillows, etc, for his personal
comfort, and sixteen boxes of den
tai supplies to be used in his profess
sional work He bought by whole
sale, because that is the cheapest and
best way, and the more he has on
hand the longer it will last. But
when the customs inspector in Bra
I'll saw that array of imported mer-
chandise he informed DR.. Rambo the
amount of duty on the contents of
lis DOAVo WOulu NC dpOuL yOVV Az
gold.
Then the genial, sweet-voiced den
fist began to think how he could get
that sum reduced. In the first place,
having been born in Brazil and hav-
ing renewed his acquaintance with
the language during his visits to his
uncle in Janeiro, he could easily
speak face to face with the officer
and give him good reasons why the
admission of dental supplies would
really be boon to the country. So
convincing were the arguments of
DIR. Rambo in favor of beneflting
Brazil with Yankee inventions and
devices that the Spanish official
agreed to allow the sixteen boxes to
enter port with only a nominal
amount of import tax. Thus was a
victory won by intelligence and tact
