TESTIMONIALS.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
Madame X. Martin has treated my
scalp for seven months with much sue
cess. l was suffering from a germ Ian
drun and my hair was rough and would
not grow. l being a barber myself knew
a number of remedies for scalp diseases
and tried several without avail. 1 also
tried several hair dressers, and failing to
get favorable results, 1 consulted Madame
Martin. My scalp began at once to get
better and is now in fine condition; my
hair has grown several inches. After try
ing the various hair dressers l will ION
estly say that l have found Madame Mar
tins method of treating the scalp the
best 1 have known. For further informal
ton concerning the res; is of the treat
ment of my hair and scalp you may call
to see me at 22O9h VINE street.
MRS. S. PLUMBER.
In April, 1914, my scalp was being
treated by Mrs. Kate Martin, 1920 Mich

say, without the possibility of being con-
tradicted, that my hair, which at the
commencement of treatment, was about
e inch, in length; now measures six

and hair treated and anyone who wishes
to see my hair growth as result of her

To Whom IT May Concern:
This is to certify that I nav taken

hair was scarcely two inches long, but
now 1t measures 4 inche and is steadily

MRS. ESTELLA SHARPE.
1910 West Prospect Place,
Kansas City, Mo,
I feel it my duty to write this as 1t
may do someone some good. 1 began
taking scalp treatment of Madame Mar
tin, May 20, 1914. My scalp was in a very
bad condition. 1 had Eczema and my
hair was less than III inches long. My
hair was dry and hard and no life in 1t,
but now my scalp is in a healthy candi-
ton and my hair is soft and fluffy, and is
free from germs and measures 81 inches.
Madame Martins work is wonderful and
Will do Just what she says. 1 cannot give
her too much praise. For any informa-
ton of the treatment you may see me.
Her Sanitary Hair Oil is great.
Sincerely,
F. BELLE THOMAS.

Mai. Sylvester's Retirement.

In his retirement from the position
Of chief of police, Maj. Sylvester car
ries the respect and gratitud, of
Washington for his long and faith
full service at the head of the force,
which is recognized throughout the
country as one of the most capable
and efficient of police organizations.
Identified with the organization at
headquarters for some years before
he was promoted to the chiefship.
Maj. Sylvester has been recognized
as an authority on police matters. as
his repeated election to the position
of president of the International As
ISOLATION of Police Chiefs attests
The District Commissioners in their
official statement regarding his re-
tirement pay him a deserved tribute
for his fidelity and his services in the
upbuiiding Of the force and the main
tenance of its high standard. Maj
Sylvester has earned his relief from
the arduous and exacting duties OF
superintendent and carries with him
into retirement the best wishes OF
his fellow Washingtonians.

The New Police Chief.

The Commissioners have complete
ly surprised the District in their Sc
lection of a successor to Maj. Syl-
vester as chief of police. Mr.. Ray
mond w. Pullman is chosen evident
ly with careful consideration of all
the requirements of the position.
Widely and favorably known through
his newspaper work, Mr.. Pullman
has had no police experience, but this
fact does not disqualify him for eff
fective administration OF the police
organization. He is upright and
earnest in his conscientious desire to
be OF valuable service to Washing
ton, in the advancement of its moral
welfare. His sterling personal quail
tics insure him the full respect of
the force over which he is called to
preside, and he will assuredly have
the full cooperation of the Commits
sioners in his service in carrying on
the good work OF his predecessor
and in such improvements in the or
ganization as may be possible. Mr..
Pullman's appointment assures
Washington a conscientious police
administration.

The Excise Board Report.

The findings of the Senate special
committee named to examine into
the record of the excise board, while
generating the members of the
board OF all suspicion OF corruption
or of vena1ity, constitute a strong
indictment on the score OF failure
to interpret and apply the law in the
spirit OF its enactment. Specihca-
tons are stated by the committee to
justify the assertion that "the policy
of the board in fostering the liquor
traffic to the fullest extent permitted
by the law, and in many instances at
the expense of both its spirit and its
letter, is fraught with increasing dan
ger to the health, peace and morals
OF the people of the District of Co.
lumbia.'
Filed on the very eve of adjourn
ment this report can, of course, lead
to no immediate legislative correc-
ton of the condition of which the
Senate's committee SO vigorously
complains. The situation created by
the acts and decisions of the excise
/! board must stand unamended dur
ing at least the present license year,
save as court proceedings may be
had to correct them. In some ways,
however, the excise board can itself,
if so disposed, act in remedy of the
errors which have been pointed out
by the Senate committee.
1t is possible, for instance, to cor
rect the fault which has been so
plainly indicated in the matter of in
spection. The regularly appointed
/ Inspector of the board can be return
ed to the important task of ascer-
tanning whether the law is being
complied with by licensees. The board
can concern itself with the matter of
law enforcement looking to the can
collation. of licenses in cases where
the statutes and the rules have been
violated

| when speaking out" is duty, not
only to oneself, but to others. And
it is sometimes profitable.
When the repeal of the law grant
| ing American coastwise ships tree
| passage through the Panama canal
was urged on the House, the Presi-
| dents friends thought Speaker
Clark should acquiesce, or at least
keep silent about his opposition. He
did not think SO, spoke out, and
thrilled the country with fine adj
dress. Did he lose by it as man or
party leader? He is to be Speaker
again without opposition in his own
party, and the President is begin
ming to consult with him about leg
islation.
There were many democratic SEN
ators who did not believe in the prin-
ciple involved in the ship purchase
bill, but only seven found their voices
when the time came for speaking
out" Will they lose by their course !!
Probably not. The President may
consult them in future in preference
to some OF the men who yielded their
opinions to his. Courage is often al
lied to sagacity; and the comblna-
ton when found is valuable to those
who enjoy its support.
MIR. kitclin. the new leader OF the
House majority, has the habit OF
speaking out" He opposed the ship
bill. and will do so again If the
measure is again brought forward.
Will his irankness OF spirit inJure
him either with his followers in Con-
grcss. or with the President2 1t
may strengthen him with both. :
MIR. Fitzgerald felt he had reason
to complain. and that now was the
time to express himself. An cleo
ton is to be held in New York next
fall, and at present the democracy Is
much dispirited. The organization is
led by practical men. and does bust
ness on practical basis. 1t has not
been dealt with by the President in
way to give it heart and hope. The
BROOKLYN man wanted that done, and
when disappointed he let the Presi-
dent and the public know his feel
ings. 1t may be that, in the end, it
will appear in doing SO he served
the President. the party and himself.
An occupant OF the White House too
seldom hears facts stated with the
proper force or fullness.

The Sixty-Third Congress.

Ii was little girl who. in quoting
an old adage, declared that SELF
praise was hall scandalous. In prais-
ing the Sixty-tiird Congress the
President was. OF course. aware OF the
popular appraisenent OF that body
that it was largely under his dolni-
nation. and in many things merely
registered his will He was Simon.
and frequently ordered the Wigwag-
ging.
Still, the appraisencnt needs to be
qualified The House was very COM
placent. TO speak ENTHUSIASTICALLY II
did about as the President desired
and directed. Measures as they
passed that body suited him. and llad
they been laid on his table III that
form would have been signed by him.
The tariff. the currency and the trust
questions were disposed OF by the
House according to his ideas OF what
should be done
But the Senate asserted a measure
changed the tariff bill considerably.
1t made changes in the currency
bill-the most important one at the
instance OF republican member.
Mr.. Root. It did something toward
letting a little daylight into the
Houses trust muddle, and. finally it
killed the ship bill. In none OF those
matters did the President boss the
Senate: and he lost likewise in some
of his nominations
The value OF the legislation en-
acted cannot be appraised at. this
time That much OF it will have to
be revised at an early day stands TO
reason. Since it was prepared, both
domestic and foreign conditions
have undergone a radical change.
There was peace then. but war now,
and such a war as has upset the
world. Nothing is more unlikely
than that when peace is restored the
work of the recent Congress will per-
form all it was devised and expected
to do. Peace will not restore the
old conditions, either here or
abroad
Three men in the House prohted
greatly by the two years. Mr.. Clark
added to his reputation by making
the most widely read speech of the
Congress-on the Panama canal tolls
question-and by earning his party's
Endorsement for another term in the
speakership; Mr.. Underwood won a
senatorship by his successful leader
ship of the majority, while Mr.. Mann
won place in the gallery of presi-
Dental possibilities by his leadership
of the minority. All three are recog-
nized now as among the strongest
men in the country.
1t was busy Congress. The men,
bers earned their pay, and got we'll
acquainted with one another. They
tackled variety of subjects, and
wrote good many laws. Fortu-
nately for the country, however, they
were not able to carry out the full
program presented to them. Time
was a factor in the equation, and
worked in the public behalf

Michael I. Weller.

Michael I. Weller. whose death
was announced with SO little warn

munity, has been one OF Washing
tons most vigorous and useful citl-
zens for many years. He resided here
for forty-three years, and during
practically all of that time he has

ests OF the capital, throwing himself
unsparingly into all works for the
advancement OF the Districts well

with characteristic energy promoting
the study OF local history and in the
field of business contributing richly
to Washington's prosperity. Mr..
Weller was most admirable type

The Panama Promotions.

1t was altogether deserved and ap-
propriate that the army and navy
officers identified chiefly with the
construction of the Panama canal
should be given substantial promo
ton in recognition of their services.
The elevation of Col. Goethals to be
a major general of the regular army
was especially fitting, expressive of
the appreciation OF the American
people for the self-sacrificing, faith
full and, above all, successful labors
which have made the Panama canal

source Of pride to every American.
