Because of the large number OF men
who want shaves before they go to
work In the morning, 1t was decided
at the meeting of the BARRIERS union
last night to open the shops in the
morning at o'clock. About two
months ago the time Of opening was
moved to 1880 o'clock At that time
1t was agreed that the union shops
would close at 1880 o'clock In the
evening instead of at eight and this
regulation will be left in effect.

pgATH CLAIMS J. 3. HANNA.
Chairman OF Accident Board Sue
cumbs To Typhoid.

John B. Hanna, chairman of the In
dustrial Accident Board and one Of the
leading Republicans of Maryland, died
Tuesday afternoon Of typhoid fever at
the Union Protestant Infrmary. He
had been a patient at the hospital
since April 8. With him when he died
were his son, W. Finley Hanna, and
his two daughters.
Mr.. Hanna's illness, which ended in
his death, began with an attack of the
ened condition he became an easy prey
to disease of almost any sort, and
few days before his removal to the
hospital his physician, DR.. Henry B.
Thomas, discovered that he had de-
veloped case of typhoid On Mon
day night the crisis came and with it
severe sinking spell. Mr.. Hanna never
rallied and died at 4.20 O'Clock Tues
day afternoon.
The death Of Mr.. Hanna removes
from the political life of Maryland a
man who always stood for decency and
order, and who was marked force for
good in the Republican party. He was
not a noticeably strong man, nor
brilliant or aggressive one, but he was
clean, straight and intelligent. In his
mental makeup he was conservative,
his judgment was good, his convictions
we're strong and he was always willing
to stand up for them. In his manage
ment of his party's affairs in Maryland
as chairman of the State Central Com
mittee he stood unfinchingly for what
he believed was right and just and
fair, and while some of his party asso-
ciates thought he was not practical"
enough and that in his efforts to be
straight he leaned backward, yet the
party did well under his management

NEW FASHIONS IN LIGHTS
Homemaker Has Practically Innumer
able Ideas From Which to Make
MoSt Appropriate illumination.

Almost every woman of every cline
has decided notions about the value
of color and light in her home, for
these things have decorative value
that gives distinction.
The improvements in lighting since
the days of candles have been so many
that no person remembers them all.
Now we have indirect lighting, shaded
lights and lights as soft as candles.
Anti-glare societies are as common
as anti-noise ones and uncomfortable
lights are out of fashion, but lamps
are still in demand and are made with
shaded tops that either cast or relieve
shadows. But they no longer have
chimneys. so they are fitted with what
are called mushroom globes. Through
these the electric light filters soft
ly and gives suggestion of coziness
that brilliant light lacks.
If your home is not equipped with
electricity we recommend that you
make study of the new shades and
new ways of placing lamps and lights
and initiate them as well as you can
with the means you have.
Novelty is not the chief thing aimed
at In the colored shades; eye-comfort
is far more important. If you are
making or buying a lampshade have it
suit the room in which it will be used.
Innings of silk shades may be made
Of various tints and textures so that
the light may be subdued on certain
occasions.
Split bamboo, willow rattan and
wooden shades are suitable for the
den and the library, and these are
lined with silk or with rice paper, and
of course Innings may be changed
often.
Glass will always be the favorfte
material for shades, and it's fragile
tenderness only makes them more
priced. The Japanese, however, be-
lieVe in proionging beauty, so that we
have marYelOusly lovely shades of
glass and metal called "cloisonne."

Every Woman Should Strive by All
the Means in Her Power to Make
Herself Attractive.

Beauty is the one supreme gift for
which every woman should strive. Not
mere physical beauty (that is sec
ondary). but combination of the ex-
ternal and spiritual beauty combined.
No woman can be beautiful, in the
finer sense of the word, unless she is
the possessor of pure mind and a
noble character. Her features may be
perfectly nodded, but without these
qualities there VIII be something which
will bar her from being a real beauty.
On the other hand. a woman with ir-
regular features, who does possess
these qualities, may impress the world
as real beauty.
Vanity, i'll temper, selfishness, petit
ness, hateful thoughts, an impure
mind, are beauty's bitterest enemies.
Nature may have been most generous
In the chiselipg of the features and in
the molding of the body. But If fine

Taupe-Coiored Hats.

Taupe-colored straw turbans are
cropping out in multitudes, these days.
The special providence that watches
over headgear has evidently decided
that taupe hats shall be the thing"
this spring. The hats are in turoan
or small sailor shapes, excessively
chic in line and poise. and there is
only hint OF trimming-a smart
quill, a plated ribbon cocade or a
bead or leaf ornament. Millinery rib
bons are being doubled over strips of
a resilient stiffening material non
crushable and not affected by the

cocades are especially crisp and cor

Fad for Glazed Kid.

There is fad for glazed trimmings
this spring, and some Of the most ex-
elusive motor coats show facings,
strappings and other details of kid in
soft, rich color that harmonic with
the coat material Occasionally on a
motor coat for very young woman
one comes across glazed kid trimming
in bright colors. like scarlet, royal blue
or even emerald green, but the aver

Face Creams.

There is a common belief that oily
creams, and particularly Vaseline, tend
to promote the growth of hair on the
face. Best authorities agree that there
is no foundation of truth to this belief
If these oils could make hair grow they
would be in great demand as hair-re-
storers. But to some faces a daily
application of cream is too much, and
generally once a week is sufficient AS
a substitute, pure olive oil is equally
as good, if not better.

The most important bills signed
were the Omnibus, Governorment and
Appropriation bills for 1911 and 1913
for institutions supported wholly or in
part by the State. In speaking Of his
action on these bills the Governor
said:
"The two appropriation bills for the
fiscal years 1917 and 1918 and the
Omnibus Bill for the support Of the
state government for the fiscal years
1917 and 1918 have been approved
practically as passed by the legisla-
ture. l know this is very unusual, and
/ hope it is just tribute to the legisla-
ture itself. But it must be remember
ed that by the request and courtesy of
the Finance and Ways and Means Com
mittee practically sat with them, and
in the final makeup of the appropria-
ton bills the treasury officials and my
self were consulted, and 1 was at all
times kept informed of the work being
done. The treasury officials are fully
assured that the appropriations are
within our revenues.

ture has done its work faithfully and
well, l do not find it necessary to fur
ther cut the appropriations made.

priation Of $4,000 each for two years
