PUBLIC HEARINGS
ON DISTRICT zON|NG
CONCLUDED TODAY
Citizens Federation and
Trade Organizations Pre-
sent Views on Plan.

Public hearings by the zoning COM
mission, which is drawing up regula-
tions to control all future develop
concluded today. and the commission
ers have fourteen working days in
which to revise their tentative maps
and regulations. as under the law the
coming program will go into effect
September /.
The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions. the Board of Trade and Cham
Der of Commerce representatives were
heard today. and while approving the
Zonlng program in general and COM
mending the commissioners for their
efflcient work in connection with the
plan, suggested a number of extern
sions and notifications.
f.. Z. Graham, chairman of the
Board of Trade subcommittee, which
studied the zoning question at length
spoke first for that organization am.
was followed by B. F. Saul. HeS took
up by paragraphs the thirty nine
changes recommended n the first
tentative program of the commission
many of which have been 'incorpo-
rated in the later program. and some
of which have been modified by the
committee after further considera-
ton.
In general Mr. Graham said the
Board of Trade believed the indus
trial areas as now drawn should be
extended, particularly along the water
fronts and along the railroad lines.
The principal water fronts should, in
the opinion of the committee, be
zoned industrially one block from the
waters edge, and the railroad lines,
with some exceptions, should have at
least one square on each side in the
industrial area.
Would Extend Area.
Recommendation was made that the
Industrial area in the Georgetown
district be extended north to NJ street
and east from Aqueduct bridge to
Rock creek.
Mr.. Graham argued that ice plants
and milk k-diStributing stations should
be kept out of residential sections
and sections zoned as first CONNER
cial. Commissioner Browniow called
attention to the fact that they could
not now enter the first commercial
zone without the consent of IS per
cent of the property owners within
200 feet of the lot where they were
to be established, but Mr. Graham
said he did not think that protection

curiosity reigned supreme and un.
sated. The clerks asked one another
what in the world had come over the
old man; and when he went out for
lunch. Parker gave blind man
quarter and bought a War Cry of

The shadow never lifted. Every
night when he went to sleep he babe
himself good-by. for the chances of his
being alive In the morning were lust
as remote as they would ever be. But
1t was not a morbid shadow. It
forced him to generate more light.
Sometimes his eyes grew moist and
his throat ached when he reflected
upon the deeply sympathetic under
standing of his wife, who studiously
avoided any reference to the impend-
ing tragedy, and who. in spite of her
secret sorrow. acted up to the situa-
tiOn in manner heroic.
The fact that Mrs. Parker. while
moving the rug in her husbands room
on the morning following the accident
discovered half need,e-the point
driven firmly into the tloor-mav also

rible thing through with cheerful

Building Character,

The character of the building re-
fleets the soul Of the man. The gen.
eral plan reveals the ideal of the
builder. Strong characters can't he
evolved from shallow natures. There
must be the character stuff there 10
build on. No matter how rough this
may he there are processes by which
II may he made smooth. But You
never can put finish on things nat
urally inferior. The very process re-
veals the lack of worth on which TO
build. It's different with great souls.
These. like great rivers. are not easily
ruff1ed. The currents of their thought.
like deep waters. refuse to become
choppy with every ripping wind that
passes over them. Gales and freshets
are not without their influence. BUT
they can never change the nature of

EiShinu in Hawaii.

the terrific surf is rendered almost
powerless to upset the craft; for
standing out from one side of the boat
are two light poles, across the ends
of which is lashed beam similar in
shape and length to the boats keel,
SO that at distance you might think
you saw two boats fixed parallel to
each other. The outrigger forms a
stay to the boat on the side wherever
1t is fixed, and the other side is equal

Don't Try to Remove FreckIes.

Freckles can be removed, but, as
the Journal of the American Medical
association says, "the effect is only
temporary at best, and usually not
worth the irritation and effort that it
COSTS"
The method is to apply solutions OF
mercuric chloride in strength of from
0.5 to l per cent, strictly under medi-
cal supervision, for if one tries to do
it oneself she is likely to make nasty
mess of her face. These solutions pro-

Polishing Mirrors.

In cleaning mirrors and pictures
great care must be taken that no wa
ter seep under the glass. Water will
ruin the back of a mirror and blister
the picture.
Perhaps the safest way to polish
and clean these glasses is 10 use
damp chamois skin. Wiring the cha
mois as dry as possible out Of warIn
water, rub the glass until perfectly
clean and dip the chamOis into clean
water and again wiring dry. Rub the
glass the second time and polish with
paper if necessary, but 1t won't be.
This way of cleaning mirrors and pic
lures does not endanger the frame In
any way and is very sati sfacttey.

NO MORE CROUCH
Why Mr.. Parker Has Permanently
Reformed.
Something Providential in the Fact
That He Should Step on That
Broken Needle and Draw His
Own Conclusion.

A needle in the sole of a foot is
painful. but in the following story.
written by a contributor in the At
lantic Monthly, 1t brought salvation
to a man who was very much in need
of it. Parker was a "sorehead"-
sullen at breakfast. surly at dinner.
Quarrelsome in the Office. crusty on
the street. bear at the party. hog
on the road, fly in the ointment.
His wife was afraid of him, his chill
dren were afraid of him. his clerks
were afraid of him. He was a
"grouch."
One night, about two in the morn
ting. he rose, grumbling, to fasten
tapping shutter. On the way to the
window he emitted yelp of distress.
When they turned on the lights, Park
er was sitting on the floor, tugging at
left foot. Presently he held up half
of a needle! 1t was evident, they
thought. that the other half had re-
mained in his foot.
The family was drowsily sympa-
thetic, but confident that the doctor
would find the broken needle in the
morning with magnet. Parker. how
ever. slept little during the remainder
of the night; he feared blood poison
Ing.
Immediately after the breakfast he
sought the family physician. who. af.
ter patient investigation. assured him
that he must have stepped on an al
ready broken needle. for there was
no fragment of the steel to be found.
But Parker knew that he was carry
ing in his body deadly thing that
undoubtedly had started upon its
fatal mission. He left the Office early
that afternoon and went home to sur.

more tenderness than she had ever
observed in him since their honey.
