CLARENDON, Va, Feb. 14.-Vir-
ginia's fee system of compensation
to public officials was again bit
terly criticised at a meeting of the
Clarendon Citizens Association in
the local engine house last night
President Taylor reading from the
report of a special commission APP
pointed to inquire into the fee sys-
tenn and make recommendations at
this session Of the assembly, re-
vealed that treasurers, along with
other officials, are allowed about
10 per cent for money borrowed for
school purposes. That was only one
item of income mentioned.
Under that system of compensa-
ton. j. Thomas Manning pointed
out that Arlington county would
receive only about 100000 out Of
the 100000 bond issue, which It is
proposed by the school bureau OF
for school purposes.
1t was reported that as yet no
action had been taken on the cir
culation of petition among local
residents asking that the fee sys-
tenn be abolished.
President Taylor appointed q
committee. consisting of Messrs.
Lipscomb, Jewett. Manning. Payne
and the chairman himself to meet
State Senator Oliver and Assembly
man Smith at the Fort Myer Court
house next Friday and obtain their
views on the adjustment of the fee
system.
Another heated debate occurred
when Attorney A. p. Payne urged
the association to- adopt a resolu-
ton favoring bill now before the
assembly which calls for the abol-
ishment Of the present county
school electoral boards and school
trustees In favor Of electing school
trustees from every district.
At present there are nine school
trustees in Arlington county. who
are all appointed. Under the pro-
posed plan II would have three
Jefferson and Arlington districts.
On calling for a vote the asso-
citation went on record as favoring
the present system.
Members Of the local association
will meet shortly with the Wash
ington Board of Trade to discuss
plans anent the approaches to the
new Key bridge, which will dis
place the old Conduit span. Messrs.
Sharpe. Bennett and Huff were
appointed as a committee by Pres
ident Taylor to discuss the matter
with the Capital Board of Trade.
Fire Chief Eaton announced that
the new fire apparatus will be
ready for delivery next Tuesday
and that there would be a meeting
OF the fire committee Friday night.
A resolution was adopted favoring
the immediate passage of house
bill No. 8, which is now before the
State assembly. The bill provides
for compulsory school education.

Hoao To Make Pine

Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-

Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The Syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.

Are COlleens Losing Beauty:

DCBLlN-1rish colleens are los
Ing their beauty. This is the
view expressed by a famous beau.
ty specialist in Dublin.
THE girls of Dublin and other
cities in Ireland are not nearly
so pretty as they were eight or
ten years ago" he told me in an
interview. Their eyes have not
the same luster, and their cheeks
have lost that wonderful Irish
complexion. and their carriage is
not near.y so attractive as IL
used to be. However, the outline
of the features is just as good as
ever 1t was.
THE reason of this change is
the abnormal time that Ireland
has passed through. The excite.
ment and amount of nervousness
through which the people have
passed have had their effects
more on the women than on the
men. Another thing is that girls
do no take so much outdoor ex.
ercise, owing to the street dan
gers.
II can forecast with absolute
certainty, however, that with the
return of normal times Irish col.
lecns again will become the most
beautiful in the world"

PLANET PROBLEMS
Scientist Declares 1t Easy Matter for AS
tronomers to Compute Probable Weight
of Heavenly Bodies.

"A center OF attraction by the In.
terfering attraction OF third
body.
The application OF this prin-
ciple requires some OF the most
difficult work done in astronomy.
But the fact that IL gives reliable
results provided that the Obsrrva'
tions on which the data are based
have been accurately made, in
dicates the exquisite refinement
OF the astronomer methods and
operations,
Applied once. in the case of a
planet suspected to exist. al.
though no one with telescopes had
been able to find il, this method
led directly to- the desired dis.
"oyery. The reference is TO the
discovery of Neptune through the
peTturbationS that its attractions
produced upon Uranus.
The conclusion OF astronomers
concerning the atmOspheres OF
the planets are based upon visual
observations aided by the spec
troscOpc. When "A planet has an
atmosphere. as all OF them do,
unless possibly Mercury should
be expected, its existence can be
detected by means of various tel,
escopiC appearances.
Atmosphere Like Circle
In the case of Venus, which at
certain long separated intervals
passes directly over the sun $
disk as seen from the earth, the
atmosphere appears as brilliant
illuminated circle surrounding the
planet as IL moves over the sun :
edge. Even when the planet does
not pass directly over the solar
disk, but merely goes c,ose TO il =.
as happens about once in two
years, careful observation shows
the luminous circle formed around
its atmosphere reflecting the sun
light.
The density of this atmosphere
is inferred, with more or less
probability. from its effect upon
the solar rays. and from the gray
itative force of the planet; but
astronomers do not profess 10
know its density with complete
certainty. The spectroscope shows
the existence of vapor in the
planetary atmospheres, and indi-
cations of absorbing gases. but
these things are still open TO fur
ther investigation, and cannot be
called settled facts. They are
more or less strong probabilities.
When we come to the question
of the existence of inhabitants on
any OF the planets beyond the
earth we are in a field Of almost
pure conjecture. Mathematics
does not help US here. There
are no equations, firmly founded
on facts and leading to certain
conclusions. We are not even
certain from any direct evidence
that vegetation, let alone animal
life. exists on any body in the
solar system except the earth.
The probability seems very strong
that both kingdoms of life are
represented on one or more OF the
planets, but the proof is not yet
forthcoming.
