|SAYSC|lY DEVELOPMENT
EAR0LHCA NECESSITY
Glenn Brown Lectures With Slides ct
the Havy League House on Artistic
Plans for Capital.

/. An earnest plea for the development
Of Washington along the lines laid out
by George Washington and L'Enfant,
and furthar suggested by the park
commission in 1902. was made by Glenn
Brown in an address on 1.-The Artistic
Development Of Washington From the
Patriotic Side." at the Navy League
House. 1906 Goth street northwest, to-
day. Mr.. Brown pointed out that the
development of the city on this plan,
which has been called the greatest city
plan In the world by architects and
city planners, is a patriotic necessity.
In that the condition of the capital city
reflects upon the credit Of the nation.
He gave in detail the original plans
OF the city, as laid out by Washington
and L'Enfant, laying stress upon the
Development of the Mall. He also
showed how the suggestions of the
this plan. and showed plans OF the park
the city.
Mr.. Brown. by a series of slides.
showed how the original plan of the
city has been spoiled in the develop
ment Of the Mall and Of the newer Sec
tions. He urged the treatment of the
Mall as one unit instead of by units
tn6 various
that now line it. He also urged the
removal Of the Botanic Garden from
the foot Of the Capitol.
For Monuments and Buildings.
The need of monuments to such men
as James Madison. Alexander Hamilton,
Thomas Jefferson and many others &C.
lively connected with the founding Of
the nation was pointed out. Mr.. Brown
told of the plan to erect a group Of
buildings near where the tidal basin
now stands and on line with the
White House and Washington Monu-
ment, in memory Of those who drew
up the Constitution.
He showed where the erection of the
Lincoln memorial. the new National
Museum, Union station, the Senate and
House ONCE buildings. the wings OF
the new building for the Department
Of Agriculture. Memorial Continental
Hall, the District building. the Pan
American building and the Red Cross
Memorial building are In line with the
plans of the park commission.

"The servant problem in Washington
has been solved" is the firm conviction
of Mrs. J. Edison Briggs. chairman OF
the home economics committee Of the
District Federation Of Women's Clubs
who has been conducting the cam
paign started by The Star to seek out
and reward longtime faithful domestic
employees. Mrs. Briggs feels that tbs
thousands Of letters she has received
and is still receiving show that the
method Of awarding prizes and service
certificates has aroused the proper
spirit of cooperation and appreciation
hetween mistress and maid, and that
the National Capital stands today as
an example before the nation of proper
relations as affecting the domestic
which frees this city from the servant
problem"

Loopholes in the Law.

laws Mr.. Towns pointed out that drug
taker or any person purporting to be
drug taker can at present have just as
many physicians prescribing narcotic
for him as he may see At to have. and he
may demand Just as much Of the drug
- he chooses to take.
tho doctor does not have to find out
whether or not the patient Is con
6rmed drug taker; he can take the
mans word for 1t and prescribe Just
what the patient asks for. A few such
patients could practically corner al
most the entire habit--forming drug
market, and, II they wanted to do 50.
could establish themselves In the hao-
Informing drug business.
After pointing out the extent to
which many so-called patent medicines
and "proprietaries" are responsible for
the growth Of drug addiction. Mr:
Towns suggested that one solution OF
the drug problem might be to restrict
the manufacture sale. prescribing and
administering Of opiates strictly to
crude opium. to laudanum and pare
goric. and to hold the physician to q
strict accounting Of all these he per-
sona1ly prescribes or administers.
I'VE can dispense even with morphine
and all Of the opium alkaloids. ne
said. IT can go back to the time In the
medicine chest with bali OF opium
and q vial of paregortc and these easily
met every possible need where oplates
were considered necessary to alleviate
pain. The medical profession would
not be inconvenienced In the slighteet
degree by such q restriction. and II
would at once eliminate every unfavor-
able hazard that has grown out OF the
prescription.~

Service Certificates Awarded.

Mrs. Briggs has sent out more than
1000 service certificates to those who
have been faithful to one mistress or
in one family for more than five years.
Because the frequent changes in WASH

changes bring new residents here every
four years, Mrs. Briggs and her COM
mittee have decided that certificates
should be issued to all those who have
been In one place Of domestic employ

SAGE TEA DANDY
 TO DARKEN HAIR
Look years younger Use the old-tirne Sage Tea and Sulphur and nobody
 will know.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau tifully dark and lustrous almost over night if youU get a 50-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com paund" at any drug store. Millions of bottles of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, are sold annually, says a welLknown druggist here, be- cause it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have surprise await ing them. because after one or two ap- plicatiOns the gray hair vanishes and your locks become luxuriantly dark and beautiful.
 This is the age of youth. Gray haired. unattractive folks aren't around. so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark. handsome hair and your youthful ap- pearance within a few days.
 This preparation is toilet requisite and is not intended for the cure. miti- gation or prevention of disease.
