UNIFORMS FOR
! POLICE FORCE
Patrolmen Unable to Meet
the Advanced Costs on
Present Salaries.

High cost of police uniforms and
the 100 per cent increase in prices has
put on foot a movement for munich
pal buying of uniforms for the Dis
trict policemen. Last year prices Tor
clothes SCARED. This year they jump
ed to double what they were.
Outnt Costs Over s17O
The cost for outfitting a policeman,
according to regulations, is in the
neighborhood Of $40. The overcoat
last year cost s23.s5; the winter trou-
sers, SIS: the summer trousers, $50;
summer coat, SO; cap, $50; totaling
s5Z.I5 Each policeman Is required to
have two sets of each articles. This
brings the total up to s11490. Besides
those already mentioned, the follow
ing must be considered: s. for one
rubber cape; $3.50 for one pair rubber
boots, and 81 for Incidental items
Uniforms, on the whole, do not last
more than two years. This means
that local guardians Of the law must
expend not less than $50 per year for
their uniforms under the old stand
ards, and SO under the new prices is
regarded as a low estimate.
FresenN Shlaries 100 Smhl
Many have stated that they will
not be able to make ends meet unless
a raise in pay to take care Of the
increased cost of materials or munic-
ipal buying of uniforms Is sanctioned.
Trade bodies in the District will
shortly consider the advisability of
advocating the purchase OF the uni
forms by the District or of suggest
ing some other remedy for the po-
liceman

Stage success tbased on a lack OF
feminine pulchritude is almost un-
heard of.
But II Is being achieved at Keith's
this week by Buster Santos and Jaque
Hays. Neither of these young wom-
'en is beautiful, They take pride in
being otherwise. Miss Santos is con-
structed on the lines of a super
Dreadnought There is really no back
drop needed for the act, because
Miss Santos fills the stage.
On the contrary. Miss Hays is so
let US call II slender-that the spot
light has difficulty. in locating her.
Her legs. II we may mention them,
are remarkably like Eddie Foy's.
And their act was the biggest laugh
getter OF the bill.
The rest OF the bill is really splen-
didly balanced and constitutes as
good program as has been seen
at Keith's this season.
Lillian Shaw presents a series of
new angles on matrimony from the
wife's point of view. She begins her
act with a little Neapolitan ditty
lamenting a husband who has lost
his fat and his pep simultaneously.
with the excellent cooperation of
Joe Wilmot, Alice Els presents a
series of dances clear-cut as canoes.
The charming dancing and harp
playing of Leota Biorach bestows
distinction upon Rita Mario's Or

Local Food Administrator WithhoIds
Consent Pending Proof of Fairness.

Not until he is shown that the
raises in the price of ice this summer
are not unreasonable and extortion-
ate" does Clarence L. Wilson, local
food administrator. propose to give
consent to such increases. This was
evidenced when several ice manufac-
turers of this city. signers of the
agreement with Mr.. Wilson regarding
the price of ice, intimated that they
would propose to make certain in
creases which would go into effect
today.
Mr.. WILSON, wrote to the dealers,
saying: Il must ask you to defer put
ting into effect the new prices until
you have shown me that they are
just and reasonable, or at least not
unreasonable and extortionate.' so
that may at least have an opportu-
nifty of performing the duty intrusted

Last Mghta at
The Heaters
BeIasco-aL.rd and Lady AIry.n


The revival of R.. C. Cartons de-
lightful comedy, Lord and Lady
Algy," at the Belasco Theater last
evening was interesting in three
respects. 1t brought William Fav-
ersham back in the role which
helped to establish him securely as
star; it marked the return to our
stage after a long absence OF Max
inc Elliott. and. finally. it showed
that in spite of two decades having
elapsed since its original presenta-
tion. the play still retains its fresh
ness and fine humor
The performance last night had
the poise and sangfroid of British
high society. and the company was
successful in giving an impression
of brilliance. The audience last
night was quite as successful as the
production Our plain playgoers
have been taught how to enjoy vi
vacious sallies of wit in the theater,
how to appreciate such typically
British characters as Lord and Lady
Algy. and so this resurrection of
Cartons comedy finds us fully pre-
pared to appreciate its cleverness.
The story will be remembered as
one concerning tne marital diner
enCes between Lord Algy and his
wife and a certain Mr.. and Mrs.
Tudway. Lord and Lady AlGy are
separated, but as they both stin
love each other. there is a possible
chance of reconciliation. Just at
the time this seems probable. Algy's
brother. Quarmby. engages in a
Irritation with Mrs. Tudway, wife
of Algy's old friend. and through a
series of Observation-Disclosures. AIgy
is accused of being the fiirt. He
nearly loses his wife Through his
brothers indiscretions. but matters
are finally Strengthened out by re-
sourceful Lady AlEy.

OF Lord Algy is a masterpiece of

BIG GATHERING
PAYS RESPECT
TO ARCHBISHOP
Thousands at Reception in
Honor of English Primate
at Corcoran Gallery.

One of the grandest, and prob
ably the most effective. receptions
ever held in this city was accorded
the Right Hon. and Most Reverend
lCosmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop
of York, last night at the Corcoran
Gallery of Art under the auspices
Of the trustees OF that institution.
In the receiving line were Bishop
Harding. Gen. McCalla. who Off
ciated as master of ceremonies:
Henry White, former Ambassador
to France; Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, of Massachusetts,; trustees
of the Corcoran Gallery of Art. and
many other distinguished citizens.
Lord Reading. the British Ambas-
sador. and Lady Reading were also
in attendance.
President Wilson Detained.
President and Mrs. Wilson were un-
| able to be present on account of the
pressure of official business, and the
President expressed his regrets in
personal letter to the Archbishop.
The reception lasted from to IL
| o'clock, during which period it Is esti-
| mated that thousands of the most dis
| tinguished citizens of the country paid
respect to the great English primate.
All the foreign legations were well
represented and church goers of all
religious denominations were in line
| to do honor to the occasion. 1t was
memorable affair from a society
point of view also. and it is believed
that no such gathering was ever held
in Washington where the bars were
| let down with such earnest effort and
the true spirit of democracy prevailed.
1t was a cosmopolitan crown in
| every sense. and 1t seemd as though
all were inspired by the one thought
of attesting allegiance to the doc
trines embodied in the Archbishop
| Of York's mission TO this country.
So dense was the great outpour-
! ing Of humanity. in fact, that Maj.
Pullman, superintendent of the Met
ropolitan police force. found it nee
! essary to provide a squad of picked
| men from his department in order
i, TO care for the safety and welfare
OF those in attendance
Through it all the archbishop bore
himself with wonderful ease and
presence of mind, extending kiad
word and having a happy smile in
readiness for all who did him such
great honor.
Had Full Day.
Yesterday noon His Grace took
| luncheon with Senator Lodge, of
Massachusetts, and in the afternoon
was presented to President Wilson by
Lord Reading, the British Ambassa-
| dor.
Representatives of Washington Ca
thedral Close from different sections
of the country are to be in attendance
this morning at a memorial tree
planting of Archbishop Lang.
This afternoon he is to be taken to
Mt. Vernon by Lord Reading, where
he is scheduled to place a wreath
upon the tomb of Washington.

Lang leaves for Pittsburgh and will

the 100 firms, exclusive of those en-
gagged in the manufacture OF expio-
sives and synthetic resins, was over
100000 pounds, with value OF
about 100000.
Large amounts Of the staple dyes,
for which there is a great demand
are now being manufactured In the
United States. A few of the important
dyes, such as the vat dyes. derived
from alizarin anthracene and car

are being more satisfactorily met
than the needs of the cotton industry.

of the manufacturers of each dye or
other product and the quantity and
value of each product, except in cases
where the number of producers is so
small that the operations of individ-

TREES FOR PALESTINE
Civilian Commission VIII Make

Aforestatlon and Improvement of Wa

trys Needs.

London.-Two principal recommen-
dations which the civilian commits

the reconstruction of that country
viii be scheme for beginning afores-
tation, and a proposal for the conser-
walton of water supply by storage and
by opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from
member of the committee says: 1.-THE
greatest of all Palestine's needs is
af0restation. For centuries the land
has been denuded of its trees, with
the heavy rains at certain seasons, in
stead of bene6ting the soil, over more
than four-fifths of the area carry away
in rushing torrents much of the little
sold that remains on the high lands
and valley slopes.
Palestine has not always been tree
less. The Roman emperors had valu-
able forest in the country, and AbSa-
loan was caught by the hair among the
trees, but today one might gallop from

duck ones head to avoid branch.
'Trees of rapid growth will be plant
ed, and for the more cultivable dis
tricts fruit-bearing trees will be util-
lied.
'aThe storage of water in lakes and
reservoirs is comparatively simple. BY
erecting small dams across certain
ways, a series of small reservoirs can
be constructed at little expense, Gre
ating supply that will last through
out the dry season. In southern Pales-
tine hundreds of natural springs can
be opened which under centuries Of
misrule have been allowed to choke
UP and fall into disuse.
Palestine today possesses an adj
vantage it never had before in first
class railway connection with Egypt.
All the surplus crops will find ready
market in the growing Egyptian
cities."
