A taboo on street soliciting in

This committee. which noxt week

whose activities should have the
scrutiny of government.

soliciting of any kind should be

Refusing permisicA for all street

protecting the public against the

have the idea that the federal gov
eminent should not only have a
Department of Education but
should more or less rush to the
rescue of uneducated illiterate chill
dren in the poorer parts Of the
country.
This laudable impulse, however,
comes into conflict with the pres
ent growing impulse against dupli-
eating local efforts and against
substituting centralized authority
for the local initiative of States
and counties and cities and
villages.
In Washington, in place of
establishing new departments and
bureaus, there Is now a tendency
rather toward the idea Of going
through the existing departments
and bureaus and seeing what ac-
tivities Of theirs are mere duplica-
lions of local activities and could
therefore be omitted or at any
rate abridged.
Possible Committee.
It is not beyond possibility that
we some day may have in Wash.
ington a committee for combing
out of our federal departments and
bureaus a lot Of things now al
ready equally done by our local
governments.
1t is believed that search
through pur departments and
bureaus here would reveal a multi
tude Of such things.
The elimination of them would
reduce Federal taxes and would
also restore to our local govern
rnents the healthy duty of perform
lrg their own proper functions
solely by their own Independent ex-
ertions.
In any case the new tendency
seems to be that way, and when
the soft shell crabs of the Potomac
and of Chesapeake bay are threat
ened with determination, it Is no
longer thought necessary that there
should be a Federal soft shell crab
commission.
States Reach Solution.
In place of such a commission,
the governor Of Maryland and the
governor of Virginia could negotiate
a protocol between their States for
the rescue of the soft shell crab
by the exertion Of the intelligence
and energy Of the sovereign peoples
Of Maryland and Virginia.
Thus a mighty problem is solved
without more Federal bureaucrats,
and Washington in its present mood
applauds.

Through the eyes, the robber Love
Steals in, and takes the heart by sur
PRISE"
Omar Khayyam.

Not so long ago renowned skin
authority despairingly said, "Show me
a person who has ugly blackheads in
their face and neck, and their skin
looks muddy and I'll show you one
who is either careless or lazy. Such
people simply wash with soap and
water, and they think they are getting
their face, neck, arms and hands clean,
when they are only cleaning the sur
face. Soap and water won't get into
the pores and glands and clean out the
accumulation of dust and grease. 1t
takes cleansing cream like that which
bears the Black and White label"
The reason for this statement is that
Black and White Cleansing Cream has
proven its merit beyond any question
or doubt, in serving the purpose Of
keeping the tiny Hores and glands of
exposed skin clean of all distractions
to their natural function Of necessary
perspiration which carries off impuri-
ties from the system. When this is in
terfered with the accumulation in the
pores from within and without causes
blackheads, and "dingy" looking skin.
