Let the Government Own

And Do Away With the Principle Of Finances
Travelling Public Second.
By EARL GOODWIN

The Public Utilities Commission might take this op-
portunt to tell the Senate that the only possible solution OF
our street railway tange is public ownership
By public ownership mean the actual possession OF the
two Washington street car lines by the public.
These two lines will consolidate; more so than
oil and water There financial difficulties which appear
to be mountain high Committees from both roads have
been trying to find way to mix the two properties but
far there is no solution to the problem.
AS long there financial problem to be solved the
of the roads will put their first and biggest aen
ton to that, the welknown principle that where
mans treasure is there his heart will be also.
But the public has its heart the traffic problem the
also has in mind that with the improvements made
under the expert direction of John A Beeer delays
common, and delays mean holding up the program.
costs of labor and materials is growing and diff
cult Perhaps it will be impossible. If it actually be-
impossible then the of the roads might find
it convenient to stop operating altogether, which
would bring home to Congress the fact that private
ship of public utility is queer sort of mixture.
Congress has had numerous chances to enact public
ownership law It still has splendid chance, with OBJ
ect lesson before IN every that passes and down

Especially for Washington Women

who. it appears, did not care about
receiving her, at first
Face painting as 1t Is carried on
today, is not an art as it was
twenty years ago, 1t Is a challenge!
a blow In the face of every passer-
by-it is an unwritteen demand,
avoid seeing me II you dare!"
1t is interesting to the student
Of psychology, as denoting a
phase Of woman's development or
decadence, according to your point
Of view.
No one could call it pretty at this
violent stage Of its progression, and
a girl might achieve the same re-
suits in the way Of attracting at
tention by painting her face blue,
for a change, like the early Britons:
"a History of Face Painting
would be a distinctly useful hand
book to the various municipal
boards that from time to time at
tempt to point out to the gullible
male the true from the false.
A great many of the women Of
antiquity took no chance with
death, they had their faVorite To-
lions and cosmetics bundled up
and put into their sarcophigi with
them; they didn't know where they
were going and they decided to go
prepared.
Their bodies have shriveled; a
handful of dust is all that re-
mains of them, and their desire to
look beautiful, but the fragile
Etruscan glass receptacles that
held the beautifiers still exist,
monument to woman's eternal de-
sire to please man.
| have had innumerable letters
from various sources on the sub
ject of face painting. Mothers
want to know why their daugh-
tiers, who have been carefully
brought up, insist on painting;
young men who are going to be
married wonder why nice girls
deliberately adopt the livery OF.
vice? Husband says something
like this-"My wife is the best lit
tie woman in the world, but she
paints"
And | usually answer, if they
send me a self-addressed envelope.
my dear Sir, its ike the hor-
rible cigars they give you at
Christmas, they mean well, they
are trying to please you, but they
don't realize they have got the
wrong label on the box"
And so women go on wrongly
labelling, or hbeling themselves,
until a new beauty appears on the
horizon and word goes forth that
she didn't make up.
She walks through a ballroom
or down the street under her
own colors." and she makes the
rest of them look like old
fashioned crazy quilts, where all
the colors swore and fought with
all the other colors, and suddenly
the boom in paint drops and the
boom in soap begins.
The object lesson has struck
home and for a period, at least,
the North American Indian on the
war path fails as an ideal TO the
women of the land.
The Washington times., 1918-09-12

~ you paint? Are you an
impressionist with a
- pretty taste in facial
landscape effects? Do you walk
downtown displaying a blazing
sunset on either cheek and a
snow-capped eminence between
that suggests Mount Blanc rather
than a nose?
Do your facial color schemes
suggest the comic supplement Of
a Sunday newspaper or a North
American Indian on the war
path?
II these diversions have been
your favorite sport, indoor and
outdoor, down on your lOees
and thank heaven you do not live
in Patchogue. Long Island, for
the village board not only frowns
on this sort Of talent-it goes
further and has taken steps to
have the rabbit-foot impression
list locked up, according to the
4OilONLiR SiPpHiB.
Patchogue, Long Island, Sept.
1870 that the military police
at Camp Upton will find it easier
to tell modest girls from the
brazen, the authorities have Sc
cured action by the village board
here. In a resolution the women
are asked TO give up cosmetics
and gaudy clothes.
The board has also suggested
the arrest of unchaperoned
misses caught strolling near the
camp after p. m. DR.. Frank
Overton. State sanitary super
visor, backed the anticosmetic
resolution.
"What shall the girls use to
protect their compilations ?" he
was asked.
"Soap," he replied laconically.
A great many girls, "nice girls"
too, will look on this compulsory
face washing edict as cruel hard
ship. They don't see why the vii
lage board will not let them paint
in peace, what does it mean by
sticking its nose in the rouge pot
on their dressing tables?
And the village board, if it only
knew, might accomplish as much
in the way Of reform, by letting
them alone. Face painting is like
a recurrent disease, it crops up
once or twice in every generation
and. like the present attempt on
Long Island, the authorities have
at various times attempted munich
pal regulation, but-that is not the
real cure.
The real cure is repeated appli-
cations of face paint, in other
words, "A hair of the dog that bit
you" Or if you prefer the more
elegant motto of the homeopathy
-"similia similibus cUrantur,"
which being translated, means
Like cure like"
For where the hand painted COM
plexion is universal, and each art
list outpaints her neighbor, and
color is piled on color, red on red.
there comes q point at which even
genius must stop.

Four Mt. Pleasant boys were made
majors Of marines the other day
promoted from captains Their
names are ALPHONSE DE CARRE,
VINCENT E. STACK, GEORGE DE
NEALE and GEORGE HAMILTON.
The Times has told of Major De
Cares exploit N the battle of Bel
leau wood, when he went into .
thicket and brought out a Hun ma
chine gun crew. For this he was
given the croix de guere.
The other three were also cited for
bravery in action These brave
young soldiers lived for years with
in a few blocks of each other in Mt.
Pleasant.
De Cares brother is captain Of
artillery. Stacks brother is captain
of marines. De Cares father, a
Frenchman, long in the employ of
the Treasury, died a few months ago.
The father Of the Stacks is an old
employee of the Postoffice Depart
ment, in the inspection service; De
Neale's father is manager at Kann's
Busy Corner; Hamilton's father, who
was prominent lawyer, is dead. OF
this quartet of young heroes Mt.
Pleasant and Washington may we'll
be proud.

old folks, submitted by HUGH A.

TODAY'S TOPIC
FACE PAINTING

There is nothing redder than
scarlet and after awhile even the
possibilities of scarlet and white
becomes exhausted, as witness the
clown in the circus.
All the Kings horses and all the
Kings men can't make Humpty
Dumpty's face whittier, nor his red
spots redder-he has got to stop
and do something else to attract
attention.
The same rule holds good in re-
gard to girls. With every face
screaming scarlet, the woman to

attract attention is she who washes
her face. The truth OF this slips,
gradually, into the understanding
OF the painted sex-then there is
a boom in soap, The boom lasts
for years sometimes, and facial
impressionists, il they paint at all,
do 1t so well and unobstrusively as
to deceive even the elect.
Then they begin again, and we
have the same ebb and flow OF color
as we have had through the ages;
since Cleopatra had herself baled
up in a choice rug and took that
