ANSWERED LETTERS.

Thankful: Massage the legs
and ankles vigorously every day
which will reduce their size. Exer-
cises, such as basket ball. running
and hopping will also aid.
Bobby: Increase the amount Of
hair you have by improving the
condition of your scalp. This
may be sometimes accomplished
through daily massaging Of the
scalp. A good tonic applied sew
eral times each week will also
hasten the improvement.
Scrubbing the teeth with coarse
salt is severe treatment and irri-
tating to the gums. There are any
number of good preparations on
the market that will not only
cleanse the teeth but will keep the
gums healthy.
Hopeful AS the Pilocarpine
tonic has done so much for you,
the lack of response in that small
spot could indicate that some of
your hair is dead and will not re-
spond to any treatment. If this is
so it will drop out as new hair
grows which should not take very
long, since your whole head of hair
Is showing improvement.
Charity: Consult the doctor
about this trouble. Temporary re-
lief is often obtained by using a
sepository made from anything
that is sweet such as stick candy.
An enema of very warm water is
also help.
N. L. j.: 1t is not an unusual
thing for a girl of your age to have
few pimples occasionally. Do
not overtax your digestive system
by eating between meals and take
a warm bath every. day.
j. N: At this season Of the year
the skin is very easily bleached.
An application of lemon juice
should do this Follow UP by using
cold cream, as any acid neutralizes
the secretions and would leave the
skin parched unless some oil was
supplied. You can fatten the legs
by massaging them with cocoa but

Other counties might follow the

Wyoming, if they wish to get rid of
the angry taxpayers who argue with

unknown quantity.

overburdened with duti

THROUGH overburdened with duties attendant
upon melting out fines, imprisonments and
discharges, Washington's two Police Court rulers,
Judges Harrison and Mcmahon, sometimes find
time for little dispositions upon the psychology
and working methods of the minions who appear
before them. Their remarks likely to be highly
interesting for they proceed from years of thought
and training in their present stations.
Not long ago an attorney rose in righteous
wrath before Judge Harrison, demanding to. know
why bluecoat had whaled the daylights out of
his client in arresting him. His worship explained
as follows:
The average American has little respect for
the police uniform. Often, in Washington as in
other cities, when officer has made arrest,
friends of the prisoner crowd about menacngly,
making rough action by the policeman imperative.
In Canada, on the contrary, in most European
countries, the uniform inspires wholesome regard.
Hence, the resort to force by the guardian of the
law is usually unnecessary.
Judge McMahon's observations were directed
against practice which unfortunately is still to
some extent prevalent among the police of this
and other cities namely, the tempting to break
laws in order that arrests may be made.
The specific instances were those of park
policeman who concealed himself behind shrubbery
so that he could take up fourteen government en-
plOyeS IOr walking ACROSS inc grass anu oI d
motorcycle who hid behind wall and dashed
on driver WHO "innocently" speeded up his
car bit. The judge was rather caustc in both
cases.
How respect for police authority is to be
fostered is difficult problem. 1t seems, however,
that better understanding of their rights and
limitations might be salutary thing for the mem
bers of the force in general. One suggestion has
been made which ought to aid. namely, that the
corporation counsel of the District draw up a
brochure auxiliary to the police regulations, in
structing the men just what they may and may
not do in performing their duties Many cases
now lost because of flaws in arrests or securing Of
evidence would be turned to convictions, and fur
thermore, the "boner" which, when committed by
policeman always causes mirth amid the public,
would be to large extent eliminated and. respect
inculcated for body of municipal servants who
work always well but sometimes not wisely

Early History of Arlington.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
The present estate of Arlington
originally formed part of a grant
OF 500 acres of land. made October
81. 1869. by Sir William Berkeley,
governor Of Virginia, to Robert
Howsen, as a reward for the lat
ter's services in bringing a num-
Der OF settlers into the colony
Howsen evidently estimated the
patent of small value. for he soon
disposed of the entire tract to John
Alexander for six hogsheads of to-
bacco.
The property remained in the
Alexander family until December
rs, l77s, when Gerald Alexander
conveyed the Arlington portion.

way these colored real estate
brokers are taking undue ad-
vantage of their own people. II
ever there was a time, Mr.. Editor,
that your paper could do your many

that time is in giving space to

condemned for their actions.

Would Gear Down Autos.

To the Editor. The washington HensId:
Iwish to offer a suggestion which,
IL adopted. would undoubtedly save
the lives of many thousands Of in
nocent persons every year. II is
stated on reliable authority that 49,
900 persons were killed outright in
the United States in 1921 by auto
mobile accidents Cthe number OF
persons crippled for life, IL sscer-
tanned would probably be appall-
ing). The majority OF these deaths
were caused by persons driving with
reckless and excessive speed. Pen
alties for speeding have been tried
and have failed. 1 propose. there
fore. that speeding should be made
impossible. This could be easily
done, and. believe, at least 10000
lives a year could be saved by pass
ing a law that no automobile caps-
BILE of travelling at a greater speed
than fifteen miles an hour should
be manufactured or sold for use
upon the public roads. Fifteen
miles an hour is faster than a pair
OF thoroughbred carriage horses can
trot. and is quite fast enough for all
purposes OF pleasure. Exceptions
might be made for fire-brigsdes and
possibly, for ambulsnces.

The Golden Opportunity.

NOBODY doubts the boldness and statesman
~ ship of Aristide BRAND, but among the
reflections following his resignation French
premier arises this-that Aristide loves to talk.
1t particularly we'll proved at the conference
of Washington where his fiery periods in defense
of his nations right to maintain a great army
brought a whirlwind about his head and that of
La Republque, whereas had what France judges
to be her reasons and necessities for such an
ally, at least she could net have been accused Of
Chauvinism, militarism, and what-not.
These observations are prompted by the
declaration of Clemenceau, the Tiger, that he is
learning "the science of silence
"We are all in the Lords hands," he is quoted
in dispatches, of which the Philadelphia Public
Ledger goes on to say, edtorally:
at of Won Moltke that it was said, He
be silent in languages. Clemenceau
has been Of those orators of whirwind locution
on occasion whose taeiturnity. when they chose
to keep silent, was impenetrable, mperturbable.
His attitude just seems to be the cynic's grim
satisfaction in beholding certain political dismay
and indecision proclaim the need of just such a
masterhand as that of Clemenceau himself when
he was premier.
The hands of the Lord, to which Clemen-
ceau commits his beloved France, are exceedingly
full in these soul-tryins times. Humanity upon
earth is trying to give a watehful Providence as
much concern as if our little speck Of star-dust
in space were the vast entirety of the universe.
Mans own coneeit is boundless as the stellar
heavens.
ale who is not satisfied with cabinets in
France or royalism elsewhere or the square deal
professed by protectors of the poor in the name
of democracy finds relief in the thought that man
is not the ultimate arbiter after all. Man has
done his worst to ruin the world he lives in; but
nature somehow survives him, and history leaves
behind many who made loud noise and vain
show while they were at it. France and the world
in which French policy is potent factor can
afford to acknowledge Power over all powers,
and repose faith therein"

FIGHT PEACH TREE
