ASKS FOR THE REPEAL
Of THE BORLAND LAW
West End Citizens' Association Pro-
tests Plan for Paving
Of Streets.

The Borland amendment to the latest
District appropriation act, which re-
quires abutting property owners to
bear one-half of the cost of street
paving, met with the unanimous dis
approval Of the West End Citizens
Association, at the opening meeting Of
the fall and winter season last night
in Kidder's Hail.
CharacteriZing the Borland legisla-
tion as unjust, unfair. inequitable and
vicious" one resolution declared that
in the belief of the association the
approval by the Congress of the
amendment in question is the forerun-
ner of an effort hereafter to be made
to destroy the organic act, the half
and-half contract of 1873. between the
United States and the District of CO.
lumbia."
Petition for Repeal.
Although this resolution was not
adopted. being referred to the COM
ther consideration, one petitioning
Congress for the repeal of the Borland
amendment was adopted.
"The cost of one-half of such i'm
provements levied against the abutting
property" declared the resolution,
will work a great hardship against
many poor men owning their little
homes thereon, and in many instances
result In a condscation of their prop
erty. We further protest against any
form of taxation without proper rep
resentation, believing the latter to be
our constitutional perogative.'
A resolution thanking President Will
son for his prompt approval of the
alley bill was adopted. A resolution
also was adopted declaring the stable
Of No. % engine house to be a "nui-
sance," and urging the Commissioners
to "abate the nuisance" it being as
within the forbidden limits Of the Dis
trict regulations.

men, when in uniform, was the theme
of another resolution which was adopt
ed, the Kahn bill being specially ap-
proved.
Measures looking to cooperation
with Scoutmaster E. A Martin for the
forming of a troop of Boy Scouts in
this section of the city were taken by
the association.
DR.. John Van Schaick. jr., addressed
the citizens at the conclusion of busi-
ness on the work of the Associated
Charities.
The Associated Charities aims to be
kind in the right way" he declared.
George w. Evans presided. with
Luther W. Linkins at the secretary's
desk. The next meeting of the associ-
alton is to be held October 26, when
the annual election of officers and di-
rectors will take place.

 Once upon a time Toms father made him a queer kind of a sled. He called it MonosIed" and chrfstened it the -.Flyaway.sp
 Now let me tell you how it looked. It had one runner which curved4up at the end and the seat was more like a cross piece, the ends of which Tom hung on too as he went flying down the hills.
 At first Tom had a great many spills but he soon learned just how to guide and balance his funny sled just as you do bicycle.
 The first day he brought it to the top of the hill the other boys laugh ed and made fun of him, but when they saw how fast he, could go they all wanted to try it and Tom let them and laughed as each one rolled off into the snow. After that he was ready to show them just how to manage it and Toms father was just as ready to show each of the boys how to make one of their own.
 They would go much faster than an

BEAUTY CHATS
TO PREVENT HAIR FALLING OUT
Bx BIanche Bcacon.

Every women cannot have beauti- $ET nair, but every woman can have Beautifully kept hair. This is not ozAy her privilege, but her duty the summer months and thus 1t is that in autumn the old hairs that have been replaced fall out to give place to their successors
 Sometimes, however, the hair con- tinues to fall out and seems thin and weak. This may be the result of in1- poverfshed heeIth or it may be from lack Of circulation, from your neglect of your scalp and hair.
 The root of the hair is contained within 9 minute tubular recess in the skin. called the hair fo1lic1e, the fackured: when these are clogged by dirt or dandrq1f it prevents the new hair from forcing itself through and loosens the old strands already dis eased frcm stagnation. This argues the great necessity of keeping the tses
 The most efectuaI remedy for fall ing hair is to wash 1t every week, or. at least every tw.s weeks, tfter which brush the hair with a firm. soft brush that reaches the scalp. few strokes strokes if the cad is insensibie. Rs- peat the brushing twice a day, until a warm gls " Is produced.
 Weak hair will be greatly improved by q sun bath daily. Let the hair flow or hang in loose braids. Air and sunshine are quite as necessary to the hair and scalp as to the body. Massage is also xeellent-it creates circulation and gives strength to the roots.
 Nothing gives such splendid polish and gloss to the hair as drying it in the sun In summer, do this on the porehs or better still, go out into the yard and let your hair blow with the breezes. Tn winter, push the rub ber tree out of it's sunny window and let old King Sol do the rest.

KIDNAPPING A BETRoTHED MAN

 With noble minds, if by chance they slide to folly. Remorse stings deeper, and re1ent-7 less conscience
 Pours more gall into the bitter cup N Of their sincere repentance.' It is supposed when man is en- gagged to be married that all the sweethearts and friends of other days will let him alone. This suppositipR'
 does not always hold good. From the moment that some men are engaged they commence to lead a new lifes as it were The pleasure that has been most pleasing to her, they give up- Friends whom they have liked best see them no more. Even his fiance detects change in such a lover. Where he used to call upon her every evening in the week he cuts his visit down to three evenings week and adroitIy avoids reve1aing where or how he passes the remainder of his l time. He has a reluctance about tell I ing her that he is working extra time 1 at his business to earn additional pay to purchase added 1uxuries for the housekeeping When she insists upon knowing where he is, the truth can no longer be held and he admits it. eAIl work and no play soon makes

 They coax him to remember there s another day; that, even though he earns less he keeps his health and strength by quitting the work and ac-
 coTnpanyIng them to some place of a amusement When they are conyinc- l ed that their bIandishmentS are of no avail to move him, they take him lforcibly from his work, hustle, him into his hat and coat, and, despite iShis protestations, kidnap him from his office, as it were, forcing H2kn to take much needed rest If more men who devote much more time t1an they

 He earns good pay and sends part of his earnings to his mother every week When I told him he ought to save it he became angry and told me that they were his best friends and see them go to the poor house.
