We waited in silence for a minute

He sank with deep groan on to tbs

Why Increase the Size of the House?

Why Increase the Size of the House?
The renewed effort to increase the member
ship of the house of representatives should meet
with the same fate that was accorded similar
movement a few months ago.. The house is I'M
wieldy with it's present membership. The addition
of more members will not insure more expedi-
tious transaction of public affairs, neither will it
improve the legislation that is enated into law.
Besides all that it is generally conceded that
comparatively small group of men in the house
virtually do the work Of that body and are the
decisive factors in its decisions.
There has been no demand from the people of
the country for an enlarged membership. The
present number of members give adequate rep
resentation to every section of the country.
At time when governmental economy is
preached everywhere, there is no need of adding
expense to the government by creating new mem
bers whose salaries and clerical help come out of
the public treasury.

INDIANAPOLIS to Curb Carnivals

The experience of Indianapolis with carnlvals
is similar to that of Richmond, and its citizens
are demanding that this form of recreation be
barred from that city.
Precisely the same arguments are adduced
there as have been advanced here. There is no
justification for the appearance of carnival
company in any city. 1t takes away money and

The Cut in Steel Prices

The reduction in the price of commodities,
which has been going on steadily as the country
is returning to normal state, is again reflected
in the cut in steel prices announced by the United
States Steel company.
The hope of many observers that the cut in
steel prices would prove to be business stabil-
izer is realized in instance at least, namely,
in a straight reduction of 10 per cent on farm
machinery, in which steel is the chief raw
material used, announced by the International
Harvester company. Other farm implement COM
panies are expected to follow with announce
ments of price cuts.
Many see in the reduction of the price of steel
a step that will soon lead to reduction in the
cost of building material, which should be boon
to persons wishing to erect residences and bust
ness houses, and to thousands of workers who
would be given employment by revival of the
building industry.
An indication of activity in the building in
dustry is seen in the number Of building permits
issued in March as compared with those of Feb
ruary. Bradstreet's says reports from 255 cities
give the total value of permits for March at
S118,436,947, as against $50, 7O7, 900 in February
Other reports say there is an abundance of
capital for investment in the construction of
homes as soon a normal status is at hand.
This is one of the cheering aspects of the hous-
ing situation. If there were money in the
country, even an abundance of cheap material
1oud not result in the construction of houses
The process of deflation, which has been
branded curse by many. is after all bless
ing in disguise, for it is constantly releasing
capital which had been tied up in high-cost in
ventories and loans, for re-investment in bust
ness, industry, homes, and scores of other
projects.
Every dollar that is released by deflaton is
dollar which its wise owner presently will put to
work in some capacity With the price Of steel
and other building materials reduced, these dol
lars will find a profitable investment in
homes, process which will give employment to
workers in the building industry and to men en-
gagged in kindred industries.
Every new home that is constructed in Rich
mond will exert an influence far beyond the mar
row confines of our own community. Not only
will the carpenters, masons, electricians, plumb
ers, painters, plasterers, tinsmiths, and furnace
erectors return to profitable work. but the men

Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly com pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make 1t at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nova days, by asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, at small cost.
 Don't stay gray Try it No one can possibly tell that you dark ened your hair, as it does it so na- turally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, talk Ing one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy ,and attractive.
