A cruel leer upon his face,
A black patch over his eye,
He. boldly sailed the bounding
main,
In ancient times gone by.
Bereft of mercy, hated by men,
He inspired dread and fear,
Bringing terror to peaceful ships,
Way back in that olden year
Ine Frate.

Heavily masked and heavily
armed,
He haunted the lonely trail,
Boldly swooping into the road,

Reckless In deed, heartless in act,
He boldly awaited his prey,
Cunning and willy, dreaded by all.
Was this knave of later day
The Highwayman.

A heavy scowl envelopes his face,
For 10! the villain lives still,
AS bold as any robber band,

Sparing Of light, devoid of heat.

His prices would make a pirate

He's the boldest villain Of all

BEAUTY COURSE
IN SCHOOLS
BANNED
Commissioners Will Not Alter
Their Decision, Despite
Board Protest.

There is no intention on the part
OF the Board of District Commits
sioners to change their recent de-
cision disappearing a requisition
from the School Board for $SS1.25
for equipment and other expenses,
the money to be used for manicur-
ing, shampooing and massage
courses in the o street colored vo.
cational school.
This appears to be the attitude
the District Commissioners will
take early next week when spe-
cial committee from the Board Of
Education will confer with them to
protest against the Commission s
recent action.
The Commissioners, it is said, will
inform the committee that they were
entirely within their rights in re-
fusing to approve the requisition,
feeling that the proposed course was
not necessary of sufficient import
ance at this time to the public school
system. -&
Refer to Old Decision.
It is understood that in pointing
out their rights, the Commissioners
will refer to a decision of the Dis
trict Auditors Office ten years ago
in which it was made clear the Com
missioners had the power to refuse
to approve appropriations which
they believed unnecessary.
James T. Lloyd heads the COM
mittee from the board, with D. j.
Callahan and William Houston the
other members. The committee ex-
poets to meet the Commissioners
Tuesday morning.
The verbal fight over the beauty
course, it is said, is a elimination
of differences existing between the
commissioners, the school board,
and DIR. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent Of schools.
Talk of Legal Action.
Just what action the school board
will take in the event the con-
ference next week does not result
In approval of the beauty course
requisition, Is unknown. 1t is said,
however, that it will seek legal
advice to have the powers of the
Commissioners definitely defined in
this regard.
The question of the beauty course
came up at the school board's
meeting yesterday. A letter from
the Commissioners was read, dis
approving it. 1t was then the
committee was named to confer
with the Commissioners.
It is understood that the Com
missioners are backed up in their
decision by members of Congress,
many of whom have been vigorous
in declaring that such a course Is
unnecessary and a waste of public
funds.

White Tickets Of the Gospel
Mission Eliminates
Professionals.

| Washington today became q
white ticket town." This does
mot mean much to the average
citizen, but to the professional
panhandler it means a lot. Il
means that his usual income OF
from SIS to SO a day will be cut
off, and he will keep away from
the Capital.
This change was brought about
by the Rev. G. w. Cory, superin-
tendent of The Gospel Mission,
214-216 John Marshall place north
west. The Rev. Cory, who before
coming to Washington was in
charge of mission in Wheeling,
w. Va, tried this plan out there
and it was a success.
Cashing the Tickets.
White tickets which can be cash
ed in for a room, food or a bath at
the Gospel Mission were today dis
ltributed among the business men of
the city. and when a panhandler
, comes to them hereafter with a
plea for two bits for a meal and
lodging they will be handed q
ticket WnlCn Will get ali That Anu
more at the Gospel Mission.
The ticket sent out by Mr.. Cory
reads:

In his letter to Washington BUSH
ness men the Rev. Mr.. Cory says:
Tickets Distributed.
Enclosed please find Gospel Mis-
sion relief tickets, which can be used
when you are solicited for money on
the street, or in your place Of bust
ness. The object Of these tickets Is
to eliminate the unworthy mendicant
| on our city.
"If you will cooperate with us we
will get rid Of the professional pan
handler" and others will avoid Wash
ington in the future. A professional
will panhandle" from S. to SO per
day and spend it for booze" or
dope" and then obtain their meals
and lodging through charity. We
worked this plan successfully in
Wheeling, w. Va, and with your
support can do the same here.
There will be no charge for the

SHADE VETERAN OF 2 WARS
South Dakota Legion Man Had Many
Experiences in Philippines and
In France.

NJ. L. Shade of Mitchell, S. D., vet
eran of two wars, has one recollection
of army life that he claims is unfor-
gettable, and at least is so unusual
that experiences of any A. E. F. men
cannot duplicate 1t, unless they be
"gobs". Shade, an ardent American
Legion worker in South Dakota, de-
clares that he spent 80 days on an army
transport without setting foot on
shore, during the Spanish-American
war and the Philippine Instruction
following
He was born in Princeton, ILL.,, in
1876, and at the age of fifteen was
thrown on his own resources, with but
scant education gained in rural
schools. His earlier life work was that
of laborer In mines, steel mills and
on farms.
But the war with Spain came and he
enlisted with an Iowa Guard regiment
ordered to San Francisco, which en-
barked on the transport Covington for
Manila. After a long sea voyage the
boat was sailed into Manila bay, but
orders were changed and the ship was
sent southwark with the troops. At
1loilo Ioilo the transport put in, but
the troops were held up again. Back
the ship went to Cavite, where, after 90
days, the men set foot ashore
Shade served with his regiment in
several severe engagements, and on
discharge re-enlisted with another Phil
fppfne organization. In all, he fought
In ODD battles. He was mustered out
at Manila in 1901, remaining there for
a period on confidential work for the
government.
Back in the States, he became asso-
ciated with life insurance firms In
Rockford, ILL.,, and while there was a
member of the National Guard. Then
he went to Texas, where he was hit by
the panic of 1907, but, undaunted,
made his way back to Sioux Falls, S.
D., joining the guard almost immedi-
ately after his arrival there. He served
as chief of police of Mitchell, S. D., in
1911, and received a commission as ma
jor In the South Dakota Guard that
year. He was called for border service
in 1915, and was discharged early in
1917.
At the outbreak Of the World war he
was sent to Camp Greene, N. c., and
was attached to the Forty-frst division.
During overseas service he commanded
several ammunition guard units, served
