WOULD AMEND BILL
FOR SNOW CLEANING

LEGISLATION providing for the removal
of snow and ice from sidewalks is
sought by the Commissioners.
With the suggestion that it be amend
ed so as to provide for prosecutions in
the Police Court, the Commissioners
sent to Congress today n favorable re-
port on the bill introduced ~ Senator
Dillingham; to require owners, occu-
pants, tenants, and lessees of property
fronting and abuttinS on paved side
walks within the fire limits, to remove
snow and sleet within the first four
hours of daylight after its fall.
The bill authorizes the Commits
sioners, in the event of failure to
cause removal of the snow, to assess tile
cost Of removal against those in con-
recovered by a suit instituted by the
Corporation Counsel. together with a
penalty of s. for each offense. The
Commissioners suggest that the bill be
amended so as to direct the Corpora
ton Counsel to enter prosecutions in
gested is a fine of g with costs. The
proceeding proposed by the bill. the
Commissioners say appears to be a
rather cumbersome method of en-
forcing the penalty and they regard
in the Police Court as
more effective and expeditions.
The bill requires the District to re-
move snow and sleet' in front of and
adjacent to all public buildings, public
squares, reservations and open spaces.
II the snow or sleet hardens SO as
to make its removal impossible with
trsct as well as prtperty owners and

BRITAIN TO PROFIT
MOST BY CANAL

That Great Britain is the nation
which will extract chief benefit out of
the Panama Canal was a fact brought
out before the Senate Committee on
Interoceanic Canals today. In the course
OF the examination of Commissioner
of Navigation Z. T. Chamberlain.
Mr.. Chamberlain was asked ] OF
of questions with respect to the num-
Der of American vessels in the coast
trade, British shipping in the over
seas trade. navigation regulations. and
the like. Much of what he said had
little relation to the tolls question.
However. some idea Of the preponder-
ance OF British shipping was given by
hi& statements and through statements
o. Senator OGorman.
Mr.. Chamberlain said sailing ships
could not use the canal because of the
frequent calms over a wide stretch of
ocean off the Pacific end OF the canal.
He said American steam vessels in the
coastwise trade having a capacity Of
1000 net tons or over. numbered 1863. He
estimated that vessels smaller than this
could not with profit use the canal con-
tinuously.
Mr.. Chamberlain was not able to give
the number of British ships in the
overseas trade having a capacity of
l,OJO net tons or over. Thus. he did not
establish an accurate comparison of the
number of American coast vessels and
Of British vessels in the overseas trade
that could use the canal. But Senator
O'Gorman. in a question. brought out
the fact that 5000 British ships used the
Suez canal last year. Only two Ameri-
can vessels used ii.
MIR Chamberlain said that Great
Britain, including the colonies, had a
total of 1909 steam vessels in the for
elgn trade. These are vessels of 100
tons or over.

SAYS SULPHUR IS
SURE To RELIEVE
ITCHING ECZEMA
Get an ounce of bold-sulphur
cream and heal skin
eruptions right up.

Any breaking out or irritation on
the face, arms. legs. or body when
accompanied by itching. or when the
skin is dry and feverish, can be
readily overcome by applying a little
bold sulphur cream, says q noted der
matologist.
He Informs US that bold-suIphur in
stantly allays the angry itching and
irritation and soothes and heals the
Eczema right up, leaving the skin
clear and smooth. Bold-sulphur has
occupied a secure position for many
years in the treatment of cutaneous
disorders because OF it's parasfte-de-
stroytng property. Nothing has ever
been found to take its place I'm treat
ing the irritable and inflammatory
skin affections. While not always
establishing a permanent cure Il
never fails to subdue the itching irrf-
tation and drive the Eczema away
and ii is often years later before any
eruption again appears on the skin
Those troubled should obtain at any
pharmacy an ounce of bold sulphur
cream which is applied to the affect
ed parts in the same manner as an
ordinary cold cream. 1t isn't unpleas-
ant and the prompt relief afforded,
particularly in itching Eczema, proves
very welcome--Advt
