POLICEMEN GET
CHIEFS ADVICE
Cooperation With D. c.
Health Department Ex-
planned by Gessford.

Endeavoring to clear away the
vagueness attached to the word
Cooperation" Maj. Harry L. Cess
ford, Superintendent of Police, has
laid before Washington policemen
the first of a series of detailed arti-
cles which explains how his force
may cooperate with the other de-
partments of city government.

In yestrday's daily bulletin issued

make definite the methods by which
the Police Department and the
Health Department may cooperate.
Maj. Gessford's plan is to first
clarly explain the functions of the
Health Department, that its duties
are to enforce all laws and regula-
tions relating to public health, pro-
vide for sanitary food, and smoke
inspection; abatement of nuisances,
prevention and control of contagious
diseases, provide disinfecting serv-
ice, and the enforcement of the law
relative to the hours of employment
of females.
Explains 20 operation.
He then points out the methods
by which the police may cooperate
in enforcing the Health Department
regulations.
These methods include: Brieging
promptly to the attention OF the
Health Department any and all in
sanitary conditions, or unwhole-
some food or beverages offered for
sale; preventing unlawful dumping
on vacant lots; reporting all cases
of suspected contagious diseases;
reporting insanitary vacant houses;
prosecuting owners of muzzleless
dogs; submitting samples for chem
ical analysis in cases where prose-
cution isto be instituted: and bring
ing promptly to court all persons for
whom warrants have been issued
for health laws violation.

"Seuenty Years aBarber, isProudRecord
Of Washington Man Who First Stood
Behind Chair inNewO OrleansBeforeWar

Seventy years a barber. the last
thirty-eight of which have been
spent in Washington. is record
probably unsurpassed by any knight
of the razor in the world. Daddy"
Hicks. who handles chair at 1912
Pennsylvania avenue, is the proud
possessor of the title of long-dis-
tance tonsorial champion OF the
universe.
Back in 1884 Joe was born in New
Orleans. His mother was native
of Madagascar and his father an
Englishman. When he was only III
years old his father put him to work
as an apprentice in barbeE shop.
The Apprenticeship lasted five years.
They only paid me SO cents a
week and my boss fed me and gave
me some of my clothes" Joe said,
but BARRIERS used to be respected in
those days and wore fine clothes.
Man, when ! was married at ls to
a full-blooded Indian squaw, / wore
a snuff-colored Prince Albert coat
of the finest, broadcloth."

Suggestions Before
Commissioners.

Resolutions Drawn by.Spe-
cial Committee Endorsed
Yesterday.
APPROVAL UNANIMOUS

Oficisl Endorsement was given the
resolutions proposed by the zoning
committee Of the Board OF Trade.
by the members Of that orEanizs-
tion at a meeting held at the VIII
lard Hotel yesterday. The resoIu-
tions will be laid before the Com
missioneTs as soon as possible
An important feature Of the reso-
lutions was a suggestion made In
regard to streets zoned residential in
areas zoned commercial. The opin-
Ion Of the committee on this point Is
that blocks which have no business
on either side OF the street should
be zoned residential until. the own
e-s of such property request a
change.
wouId Extend Industrial Area.
The committee suggests that the
Industrial area should be extended
TO include all land along the trunk
steam lines railways entering the
! city and along the river fronts gen
orally. 1t is also suggested that
/ the area bounded by PennsylvHnia
avenue on the north, Seventh street
southwest on the east and the river.
which is now zoned as second com
mercial. should be zoned industrial
I This section is already occupied 70
some extent by industrial plants
and in the minds OF the COMMITTEES
/ il should be logically developed
along this line
Touching on the height reguls-
/ tions the committee recommends
that the present rulings in regard
. TO the commercial area be maintain
I ed. except that the height limit on
/ the north side Of Pennsylvania ave
nue. from the Peace Monument 20
! Seventeenth and on both sides from
I Seventeenth to Twcnty-second be
reduced from $50 feet TO 13o feet

During the civil war Joe remained
In New Orleans and made money.
In 1882 he went to Mobile and later
to Montgomery. thea to Florida and
up 20 New York. Neither New York
nor Baltimore looked good to him.
SO he finally settled in Washington.
IL was just thirty-eight years ago
iast wednesday that he arrived
here.
Daddy" has seen many changes
IN his business in the years that he
ma sstood behind the chair. For in
stance, in the early days barber
used to be a dentist and doctor,
TOO. Joe said that he has pulled
many tooth, tied 1t to a string
and hung it in a glass showcase at
the front of the shop so that il
the owner ever wanted it again he
could find it there
A man with a headache or one
who had a superfious amount or
blood would ask his barber to cup"
him or to use a leech. Joe has done
Doth. He used to shine shoes, too.

The Dixie Line.

The original Mason and Dixon's line
is the boundary line between Pennsyl-
vanin and Maryland, as run by two
English surveyors. Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon. during the years 1863
to 1867. Before the Civil war this
line was accepted popularity as the
dividing line between the free and the
slave states. The dispute between
William Penn and Lord Baltimore,
proprietorS of these two states, as
to GiIe boundaries of their domains.
continued over so years until in 1863
the two surveyors We're sent from
England to determine the boundary.
BY 1861 they had carried the line over
the mountains to a point o44 miles
from the Delaware river. marking it
with mileStones every fifth one having
the arms Of Baltimore cut on one side
and those of Penn on the other.

Human Ravens.

There are human ravens who blight
character as readily as they throw
pail over everything else. It hurts them
to hear any one well spoken Of. Their
acquiescence for policy's sake is al
ways checkmated with that suggestive
and accusing but" While posing as
saviors Of the world they are its rotten
spot and badly need the knife. In
stead Of telling folks what help you
have been to the community they take
delight in whispers that are more dan
gerous than outright condemnation. 1t
never occurs to them that you may be
benefactor to men in spite Of the
fact that you do not represent their
peculiar type Of thought. In fact you
may be infinitely above them as a
community asset, but that makes no
difference when they can get SYM
pathetic ear. There ought to be some
way Of making defilers of character
make good, with apologies.

Give the Worio your eest.


The way to success lies away from
crape-hanging methods. The world
wants sunshine. It also wants to think
that people it trusts are getting along
in the world. The ''be your best"
habit is innate and is sure to come
out when we want to impress people.
That's why the young man puts on his
best suit and tie when he's going out
to call on the fair one. That's why
maidens Of every age make you wait
until they "slick-up" before you are
permitted to cast eyes upon them. oh,
life is great game, and it wants the
best you have. 1t wants sunshine. It
looks upon showers as blessings and
clouds as protection from frosts. 1t
feels the thrill of life and responds to
the challenge Of opportunity. And
what is more fellow feels better for
having met it. Lend no willing ears
to the Grape hanger. The world has
no legitimate place for the Grape
hanger.-Grit.
The Powder River County examiner and the Broadus independent., 1920-07-09
Crane HANGERS.

Grape hangers are the wheel Sprag-
gers OF moral progress. We could get
along very we'll without them. but they
con>cientiously stay with us and see
to it that we are made to feel all the
Ills that human flesh is heir to. Just
as soon as "A brighter horizon appears
we are assured of clouds later in the
day. As bearers of i'll tidings crows
and ravens are mild in comparison.
They continually take the JOY out Of
ife" by calling attention to what may
never happen, or what might not Oc-
caSion any concern if it did happen.
The whole bunch are a communicating
set and deserve to be ordered on when
ever they stop to exercise themselves.

Two Could Play at That.

In Sunday school one day little
boy ran into my son. pushing him fiat
on the floor. He was most indignant
and when he arrived home he told his
grandfather about it, Having tried in
vain TO have the little fellow drink as
much milk rs we thought necessary,
his grandfather told him the best
thing to do would be to drink lots Of
milk and pretty soon he would grow
big and strong SO he could push the
other boy over. This plan seemed IA
good one to my son and he was full
of excitement for few moments. But
all Of sudden he apparently saw
an obstacle to this plan, for he said,
"Rut what If the other boy drinks
milk, too:"--F.Nchange
