is THIS WHY ENGLISH
BEAUTIES ARE so FAIR7
lFrom I.onlan Herald.l

Ever since tho discovery that mercol-
ized wax would absorb and remove
discolored complexion, its use by ladies
as substitute for bleaching creams has
grown rapidly. 4 perfect complexion
can be maintained indefinitely ii this
remarkable subsistence is used. It's be-
noficent cleansing, clearing and preser-
ative action is quickly apparent, and
ladies' who have been paying as high
as q guinea jar for Especial bleach y
from beauty specialists, soon recognize
that mcfcolized wax outranks them all
1t has become so popular that it can
be obtained from all chemist shops in
the British isles. American druggists
also have great demand for it in orig
inal one-ounce packages. The favorite
way Of using it is to apply it, like cold
cream, before retiring, washing it off
in the morning.
The saxolte lotion for wrinkles ant
the facial contouy Is also become ex
tremely popular. 1r ince powdered
saxolite is dissolved in one-half pin
witch hazel. Bathing the face in thi
has splendid effect in crasing wrin
kles and improving contour.

SPECULATION HAVING
EFFECT ON MARKETS

Portland, Ore, Aug. 20.-Late yester-
day it was announced that Klaher,i
Wolf 4 Meter had purchased the Lin
derland lot Of $4,000 pounds at Airlie
at a price supposed to be lie. Harris &
Lachmunl purchased the MeNary lot
of Ii bales of 1913s at lie.
A late advice from Santa Rosa, Cal,
saws that Wolf & Netter took over the
Hewitt lot of S94 bales of Mendicino
l9lss at private terms, The unsold
stocks of hops, including all growths
in California at this time, is said to
be hut S4o6 bales. The crop of that
state is now estimated at not beyond
100000 bales.
Speculative activity from secret
sources. which the local trade has been
unable to fathom, has resulted IN an
other sharp boost in the price OF hops
along the Pacific coast. Both spot and
future goods are included. For spot
goods as high as lie is reported here
| Term contracts are reported Ice for
I 1914 and lac for the next two years.

Reports from Sonoma, Cal, indicated
that lie is being offered there for best
remaining holdings of 19l9s and l7lac

Abuses Inevitable, He Says.

1T is inevitable that the present sys-
tenn will result in abuses. Some of these
have already been noticed in this report
1t is against public policy to permit the
incumbent of public office to fix his own
compensation. especially where the la"
requires the citizen to seek the services
of the officer. Even where the audltor
charges for his time upon a per diem
basis frequently work is done in several
cases during a day. On such occasions II
is difficult to divide the time among the
various cases.
Again, the auditor charges so per day
for his time, which charge is fixed upon
a professional basis But what might be
a reasonable charge, or at least not
burdensome one, In a case involving a
large estate would probably be both un-
reasonable and burdenSome in case
involving a small estate or an inSolvent
one.
The fee system in large communities
Is recognized failure and is being
discarded. Even where the patrons of
the office pay fees, the officer is usually
paid a salary out of the gross fees of
the office which have been covered into
the public Treasury. The fee system
is suited for certain minor services. the
extent and value of which are easily
measurable. such as the filing of plead
ing, the acknowledgment of a convey
ance. the affixing of a certificate. the
transcribing of page. and such like.
But when this system is applied. without
limitation upon the amount to be re-
tained, to an Office where the service
rests upon opinions and estimates, the
results obtained in the larger communi-
ties are usually not satisfactory to the
public
Evening star., 1914-05-28

placing the office on a salary basis. 1t

ton is subject to the approval of the
court under which they serve.
Mr.. Spalding finds occasion to criti-
else fees of mine in probably eight OF
ten cases out of the nearly 1000 refer
ences disposed of by me in four years.

neys in the cases or by their clients.

plant: on the contrary. l have heard of

other settlements of estates. In Curzon

The report precedes, supposedly. pro-
posed Legislation from the pen of Ben
Johnson chairman of the committee re-
ducfng the auditors compensation from
fee basis to somewhere around $4,000
year. Mr.. Spaldng. who makes the
report. has been working quietly for a
long time. and the nature of his work
has been unknown even to some of the
members of the committee.
The conclusions which the report reach
es after reviewing at great length the
work of the auditor are these:
Conclusions Reached by Accountant.
Il The auditor charges for his time
and the expenses of his office $50 per
day. and for testimony taken before him
average annual fees. after the payment
OF all expenses, during the last four
years, have been $12,37s.9T
49, Compared with the compensation
of other public officers in the District of
Columbia whose duties are similar to
those OF the auditor, the fees of the
auditor are excessive
j. The auditor erred against the liti-
gants In computing the time he gave to
certain cases cited in this report.
II. In many cases the allowances made
by the auditor to attorneys and fiducia-
ries have been liberal, but not obviously
excessive. In other cases, discussed in
this report. certain allowances have been
unwarranted and others excessive
=. The auditor should be commended
for his work in certain cases cited in
this report.
81 The auditor should be compensated
Oh a salary basis rather than under
fee system.
e. Other changes affecting the office
and its administration. which are outlined
be made.
1T has been said by high authority
that the courts of this country and their
agencies are on trial. Whether or not this
is true, the bench and bar should vel
come any suggestion looking to reduc-
ton of the cost of litigation and the i'm
provement of our judicial system. 1t is
certain that if the suggestions contained
in this report be adopted the cost of liti-
cation in the District of Columbia in
many cases will be materially reduced.
1t is believed that the adoption of these
suggestions will also tend to elevate one
of the important branches of the local
judiciary and to give to 1t a status which
will make improbable the necessity of
further criticism"
