BY MILTON BRoNNER.

| Washington, D. c., Sept. 1O.-Amer
lea has been in the war five months
In that time President Wilson has
created super-cabinet, which, under
his close direction, is really running
the war. 1t has powers never dreamed
of before in the United States. OF its
10 members, six work for Uncle Sam
for nothing. ''"
OF the ordinary cabinet members
also members of the super.cabinet
there is first, Newton D. Baker, the
quiet, efficient little lawyer who used
to be the reform city solicitor and
mayor of Cleveland, and who now has
the job Of bossing the biggest armies
America has ever created. He largely
devised the selective c0nscription bill
and has been charged with: carrying
it out. -. ,a@ ss.as Vt
Josephus Daniels, the North Caro-.
lima newspaper editor, hammered
time and again because he interfered
with the graft of big business, in i'm
mediate charge of the American navy,
is responsible not only for hunting
down German U-boats, but also for
conveying our transports and supply
ships to France. In addition, his or.
ders are law to our high seas fleet
and to our navy shipyards. The close
Of the war will find our navy second
only to England's. 80 -.
William Gibbs McAdoo is one of the
super.ca binet by reason Of the fact
that he doles out the millions to our
allies. Up to date he has thus given
out over $2,O0O,O00,O OF course,
this money is being spent right in
America for supplies, and McAdoo, as
the man behind the dough-bag, is in
sisting that it be spent as economical
,ly as possible, so the loans. will not
have to be repeated too often. ~ =
E. N. Hurley is chairman of the
United States shipping board, the
greatest maritime organization ever
known. This board has not only taken
over all German ships interned here
at the beginning Of the war, but has
Communicated many now under con-
struction for foreign buyers. In addi-
ton, it is giving out contrasts for an
immense amount Of new shipping.
Hurley's job is to build that famous
bridge of ships across the Atlantic.

The other man whose work. affects
every American is Prof Harry A. Gar.

formerly a college head. As coal d.
rector all he has to do is to fix prices
and see that every section gets its
fair supply. St IA. :. = =.

There are sometimes places on the
exterior of house where the paint
gets worn off and which cannot be re-
touched without making a ''botch Job"
OF 1t owing to the difficulty of mixing
the new paint to match the adjoining
color which has faded. To preserve
the wood in such spots until the house
can be reprinted, apply two coats of
linseed oil with rag. This will i'm

HOW To Be RID OF
DISGUSTING DANDRUFF

The only way to be permanently rid
OF disgusting, untidy dandruff is to
correct its cause. Shampooing merely
cleanses the scalp for a few days, then
the scales form again as thick as ever
To destroy the dandruff germ and
get rid Of dandruff for good, part the
hair and apply little Of the genuine
Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp, and rub II in with the finger
tips for few minutes until absorbed
by the scalp. You will surely be
amazed at the result OF even one APP
plication, for your hair and scalp will
look and feel 100 per cent better.
Only a few days massage with Pari-
sian Sage are needed to destroy the
germs that cause the dandruff to form.
The scalp becomes healthy, the hair
will grow better and show more life
and vitality, and you need never be
troubled by dandruff again. Faded,
dull or lifeless hair is quickly re-
stored to beauty by this simple process.
which is absolutely harmless, and will
not stain the hair or make it greasy.
Partisan Sage can be obtained from O'Don-
neIl's Drug Store and druggists everywhere.

ASK COMPROMISE ON
VALUATION FIGURES
Engineer Recommends Taking
Cost of Gas Company as
Experts Agreed.

Marked by a recommendation OF
Charles L. Pillsbury, chief engineer
OF the valuation bureau, that an ad-
justment Of figures agreed to by the
company and the bureau, placing the
cost OF reproduction at $9,905, 1854, be
adopted, the hearings on the valua-
tions of the properties of the Wash
ington Gas Light Company were re-
sumed by the Public Utilities Com
mission today. Those figures, it is
understood, will be adopted by the
commission as the final valuations.
The agreement was reached follow
ing a series of conferences between
the firm of HUMPHREYS & Miller, the
company's experts, and the experts of
the commission. The valuation bu-
reau's first estimate was so $3.50, 1880,
from which was excluded land, inter
ests and taxes in land and working
capital, leaving a total of $9,704,-
5eO.44
As the result of the conferences, the
valuation bureau added to its figures
S201 1894. Deductions made by the
company to its valuation of $10,046,-
$40, brought the figures to the
amount agreed to.

FACING COAL SHORTAGE
Dealers Here Hope for Continued
Mild Weather.

Coal dealers are hopeful of a con-
tinuation of mild weather as a solu-
ton of the problem which faces them
because OF the shortage in the sup
ply.
A sudden drop in temperature, one
dealer said today, may mean real hard
ship. This dealer received today from
a mine in Pennsylvania a letter stat
ing that they are behind in their de-
liveries because of the shortage of
labor, but that extraordinary efforts
are being made to meet the situation
Washington dealers were embar-
raised, it was stated, by the refusal
of drivers to work on Monday and
Tuesday. One firm which employs
twenty-five drivers said that only two
reported for duty.
The result is that deliveries are
now being made OF orders received
the first of the week
