CAUSES PROTEST
Takoma Park Citizens Make
CompIaint-Expert De-
MES Charge.

Arguments for and against the cree
ton of an ice and ice cream plant
in Takoma Park were heard by the
Commissioners today.
A delegation Of property owners
headed by E. B. Prettyman insisted
that the Commissioners turn down
the application for a permit to build
the plant. claiming it would consti-
tute a nuisance on the particular site
selected at Cedar and Vine streets
and would depreciate the value of
thirty-five surrounding residences.
In opening his presentation of the
citizens case, Mf. Prettyman explain
ed that the professionals are not OPP
posed to the plant being established
in Takoma Park, but they believe 1t
should not beplacrd in the center of
group of thirty five privately owned
homes.
There is plenty of space near the
railroad tracks in Takoma Park for
an ice plant" the speaker asserted,
and we can see no reason why the
Commissioners should permit its cree
ton where it would prove objection
a bile"
Mr.. Prettyman said the assessors
records give a total value OF Ss6,0ou
to the surrounding homes. whereas
| the value Of the property on which il
| is proposed to build the plant is val
ued, according to Prettyman, at II 400.
The larger interest of the home
owners, he contended, should be con-
| sidered rather than the interest of
the ice plant property.
Cites New York Case.
Although the ground of the ice
| company has been zoned for second
commercial use by the Zoning Com
mission, Mr.. Prettyman argued that
1 ha lot
plant can be erected in a second COM
! mercial zone that has been declared
| a nuisance in a court of record.
} Mr.. Prettyman then cited a New
York case in which the court held
/ that an ice plant injured an ADJOINING
apartment house. Passing from the
legal side of the cose, the speaker pic
tured the ice plant running at night.
| loading wagons early in the morning
and emitting the odor of ammonia
When Mr.. Prettyman concluded his
arguments. Paul Slenan, attorney for
4 the Takoma Park Ice and Ice Crea III
Company, introduced John Hill, an
expert on ice plant machinery, who
explained to the Commissioners that
! the particular equipment to be used
| in this plant would not prove objec-
tionable.
The ice-making machinery, he said.
would be electrically driven, and IL
steam should be required for the man
| ufacture of ice cream it would be
generated by gas
| With modern equipment, he explain
| ed. the leakage of ammonia fumes
| from an ice plant is insignificant. He
cited the fact that there is one ice
plant in Washington near a hos
pital. which is not Objectionable.
Col. Keller. Engineer Commissioner,
| told Mr.. Prettyman he could conceive
| of no plant that could be erected in
| a second commercial zone that would
not prove Objectionable to some one.
! The Commissioners took the case un-
| der Amusement.

49D.. c.. POLICEMEN
FACE EXAMINATION
Board of Surgeons to Begin
Physical Tests Also in
Fire Department.

The board of police and fire sur
geons will begin tomorrow the physi-
cal examination of members of both
departments who have reached the
age of sixty years to determine
whether any of them should be re-
tired at this time.
DR.. James Kilroy of the board esti-
mates it will take about ten days
to complete the examinations, after
which the board will report to the
Commissioners the state of health of
each of these veteran officers.
This step was ordered by Commits
sioner Oyster several days ago. The
Commissioner has stated that it is not
the intention Of the Commissioners to
retire arbitrarily all of the firemen
and policemen of sixty or more years.
The case of each of these veterans
will be considered on its merits. and
the physical condition of man. II is
indicated, will be the deciding
factor.
VIII Appear Tomorrow.
Forty-nine members of the police
force who have reached their six
tieth year have been notified to ap-
pear before the board of police sur
geons at II o'clock tomorrow morning.
Inspector Francis E. Cross and
Capts. George H. Williams. c. E. E.
Father and w. F. Falvey will be ex-
amined tomorrow. Examination of ap-
plicants for the position of captain to
fill the vacancy which will be caused
by the retirement of Capt. Thomas
Judge will be held at the office of the
Civil Service Commission December Z.
1t is probable that two other captains
will be recommended for retirement
by that time. it is stated in police
circles.
Only lieutenants will be eligible to
take the examination. 1t is thought
probable that one or more of the Lieu
tenants will be recommended for
retirement as a result Of the physical
tests that have been directed to be
Hade. o-, s.-
Inspector Francis E. Cross is the
highest official in the police depart
ment who has passed the three-score

ment more than thirty-eight years
and has held his present rank since
1895 In police circles he is looked
upon as being hale and hearty and
still able to continue in the perform
ance Of police duty. Some time ago
his retirement was suggested and
long service. he should be given ad-
vancement to the rank of assistant
superintendent before being retired.
Capts. George H. Williams and Will
liam F. Falvey are several years past
the three-score limit, while Capt. c.
e. E. Father has just rounded out

CUMMINGS SHORT

Only 1885 Bales Cinned For
Period To Dec. ID, Smallest
On Record

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Cotton
ginned to December 13 amounted to
7,799,458 bales, the Census Bureau
announced. BY states the figures in
Guided Alabama, $4,000 and Geor-
gia, 813,623.
The cotton market enjoyed a con-
siderable show of strength early to-
day on the ginnings report, which was
regarded as distinctly bullish. Fu-
lures werep up nearly a quarter of a
cent over the previous close, when
SPECTATORS who had ridden the mar
llet from point considerably low
er started taking profits, and most
of the rise was lost. The market
still held strong, however.
The ginnings for the period since
the previous report on December l
totalled 1885 bales, which was be-
low expectation and the lowest on
record. The National Ginners asso-
citation last week estimated the to-
tai for the period at 161 600 bales.
The ginnings on Dec. i were 7,640,-
$40 bales. Returns to Dec. 10, 1910,
totalled 10,876,263, or 734,970 bales

Recipe of Sage Tea and

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded. streaked

get this mixture was to make 1t at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui

bottle Of this famous old recipe, inn

Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
