As children reach high school age, the trans

rate such Washington has, for children in the

car companies equally unwise not to take any

Many Ways to Skin q Cat.

L. ment, called in all the evidences of American
investments held by her people. She took
all of these, giving in exchange her own obi
cations for payment. These securities she used
here as basis for credit in huge purchases of
foods and materials.
According to a German financial authority, the
Boersen Zeitung, Germans hold in exchange
bills and drafts and other forms of foreign paper
an amount equal to $I,5eoyooo,ooo These are given
2o,ooo,oooooo marks in exchange, 3o,ooo.oooooo
marks in foreign balances owned by her banks,
$4,000 100000 marks in foreign stocks and bonds
and 2o,oooooo.ooo marks in foreign food credits.
Besides all this, it is we'll known that individual
Germans and German interests have large deposits
in the banks of neutral countries. They have also,
according to report, bought largely of jewels and
gems which have stable value in all markets.
These are less hidden resources, but only
such as Germany called upon her citizens to
render during the period to strengthen her
resources. There is probably, also, considerable
remainder Of commodities purchased here in the
earlier war period to hold them from the allies,

Certain abnormalities that dis

be cured by using surgery. as was
done during the war. he said. Among
these are: Elongation OF the lower
front teeth with marked forward
movement Of the process and con-
sequent thickening Of the lowe lips.
Long gums and short lips. the point

The dental surgeon plans out the
operation on a model before he be-
gins to cut, DR.. Crane said. On a

to represent the incisions to he

DR.. Robertson concludes from

says. We may not be able to keep
the germs Of tuberculosis from en-

we can prevent their development
into disease. The Washington Tu-
berculosis Association is conduct
ing an active campaign against tu-
berculosis and proceeds on the the
ory that IL is within the power Of
everyone to keep himself from get

germs have entered the body.
Plenty Of fresh air. wholesome.

best means Of prevention prescribed
to those who wish to keep their

The present condition is if any group of our

as if the railroad traffic stopped at State boun-

1t is an impossible condition, as bad for the
little entente which surrounds Hungary, as for
Hungary, which lies between them, and so fur

barriers are all artificial They are born of racial
hatred, of fear and resentment. All her neighbors

Street Railway Fares.

THERE is hope for the people of the District of
il Columbia that. the abominable street railway
situation really may be near an end. At the con-
ference Monday between the railway managers
and the District Commissioners, Senator Capper
aroused this hope. Out Of the usual humdrum and
the once-again threshing of old straw, came the
same old chaf until the Senator injected his con-
tribution.
The sentiment among the people of Wash

doughty little Senator 'is that the street railway
situation existing in the city, can no longer
be tolerated. The public is getting impatient This
