Where the trees are not as a whole of marketable size, and the disease is present, we advocate the removal of i the dead and badly dis.ased trees and their disposal as Ium Der, poles: ties or cordwood, as their size will per- init.
 We have no uniform recomnenda- tons for treatment of sprout growth too small for market purposes, but as a usual thing no treatment is recom- n1ended. : Where trees have been cut, and numerous sprouts are developing, it is perhaps advisable at the end of l the second or third year to go over these and cut off all the diseased and weak ones, leaving only four to six vigorous ones, to renew the stand if 1 possible. {; | We are trying to prevent glut of the market by discouraging whole sale cutting of the forests, especial ly where there is little need of it As yet there has been no general g1ut and drop of prices except on cordwood in certain towns, and 7x9 ties, for which the demand on the part of the rail- road has evidently" fallen off. On the whole, however, there has been considerable more timber cut than us- uaA

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Look Out for Bad Habits
Bx BLANCHE BEACON

Are you falling into bad habits which will soon make your face lose its power of pleasing? Habit is a most instdtous enemy of human frail- ties. Before one knows, it has blot ted out a beauty or helped to make more conspicuous an inherited ugli- ness.
 The habit of scowling is the most prevalent and the most hurtful of any of the little beauty enemies
 And the worst part of the scow1 is that oftiInes the girl who habituaIly wears one is not always at swords point with herself and the world. She may have gotten into the pernicious habit because her eyes are weak or because her shoes do not fit her.
 You need not laugh at this for I have known tight shoes to permanent 1y place the vertical wrinkles between the eyes that make a girl look as though she were il1-natured when she was only dn physical pain.
 Then there is the girl who tries to make everything she says emphatic, and in doing so narrows her eyes, shuts her teeth close and hardens her her face and not only that, but these wrinkles are those from the nose to the mouth and those between the eyes that make a face look hard
 Laughing wrinkles about the cor ners of the eyes are often fascinating
 A good way to illustrate the power of habit on ones face is to let friend mirror tell you the truthful tale.
 Sit down in front of it and say to yourself: T don't care what you think about it, I am going to do this Say 1t as though you meant it and you will find the scow1 comes out of it's hiding place dmm ediateIy Now say with a smile: Perhaps yous are

CIVIL SERVICE PLAN
MEETS WITH FAVOR
Democrats Believe That Pome-
rene Resolution Will Receive
Early Report.

Senate Democrats are of the opinion
that the Pomerene civil service rcsoiu-
tion will be ordered reported by the
Senate Civil Service Committee AT ;he
next meeting. in spite of Republican
opposition.
The Republicans on the committee
take the view that the resolution would
involve a colossal amount of work,
Democrats, however, think il possible
to comply with the terms of the resolu-
ton.
1t is already clear that the Re?Hbli-
cans are gong to work hard to force
the Democrats to make the civil service
laws more stringent. The Democrats
cannot well afford to stand in the way
Of this, without giving serious embar-
rassment to the President, who IS
avowedly for strict civil service.
President Wilson is asked to suspend
the present civil service commits
sioners, pending the proposed Senate
investigation, and appoint other COM
missioners to take charge of the records
in a resolution adopted by the National
Democratic Fair PLAY Association at a
meeting last night
The resolution charges that the Re-
publicans have placed So per cent of
the Federal positions under civil service
for the sole purpose of protecting by
life tenure the pets of Republicanism,
thereby eliminating the possibility of a
fair distribution by the present Admin
istration.

MERCHAN PLAN FOR.
COLLECTION AGENCY
Bureau of Credits Will Be
Organized to Protect the
Retailers of City.

Immediate steps will be taken by the
Retail Merchants Association toward
establishing a bureau of credits and COL
lections in connection with the associa-
tion. The matter has been pending fol
some time, but not until steps had been
taken to incorporate the association was
it thought advisable to attempt such a
bureau.
According to a resolution originating
with the committee on credits and COL
iectiens, and unanimously approved by
the board of governors last night, any
member of the association may send 10
the secretary of the association any de-
linquent bills.
The secretary is authorized TO send the
usual circular letters to creditors. ask
ing them to remit. and then 20 take the
legal steps Necessary to the collection.
At stated times, the secretary will send
out to each member of the association
lists of persons against whom such legal
action has been pending.
Heavy Losses Sustained.
1t Is claimed by the merchants that
Washington business houses suffer
heavier lcses than houses in most cities
because the Government prohibits at
tachments of the salaries of its en-
ployes.
General Counsel NJ. d. Rosenberg was
instructed to take immediate :teps to-
ward Incorporating the association.
The old name will be used and Joseph
Strasburger, president; r. p. Andrews,
Vice president: NJ. A. Leese, treasurer:
Claude A. Miller, and Isaac Cans are
designated as incorporators.
Plans for the fall festival week will
be left entirely in the hands of a spe-
cial committee of seven. according to
