The latest evidence that Washing
ton has outgrown it's police force is
furnished by group Of property
owners in the Piney Branch section,
who have engaged a night watchman
to guard their homes.
The night watchman has always
been a familiar figure in the down.
town district, but it is something new
for these private officers to be seen in
a residential area.
Frequently when some disturbance
occurs on the street a voice will be
heard in the crowd: "a policeman is
never around when you need him."
Facts and figures gathered at the Dis
trict building tend to show that be-
cause of the limited number of men
allowed the department majority of
the privates have beats that could be
patrolied better on roller skates than
afoot.
Handicapped by Short Force.
Police officials realize that the
smaller the area assigned to a foot
man the more efficiently it will be
protected, but herein lies the point:
Maj. Sullivan has approximately 700
miles of open streets to patrol and
538 men with which to do it. AT a
glance that would appear to be al
most a man per mile, but, unfortu-
nately, those 700 miles must be pa
trolIed every hour in the twenty-four.
Proceed step further, by dividing
the 53S patrolmen into three, eight
hour shifts, and you have $50 men
guarding the entire District of CO.

tia and from Takoma. Park to the

problems and how to deal with them.
He reviewed the history Of the insti-
tions upon which the government is
founded, and said that the number of
government officers who were guilty
OF wrongdoing ic so neg igibie that If
segregated they all could be gotten
into a room less than five feet high.
The misuse of power by the few. he
said, leads to distrust OF the many,
but recent developments do not indi-
cate that the government - drift
ing toward bolshevism.
He urged that every commercial
body should advise Congress or It's
attitude on taxes, and said that tax
and revenue bills shpuld be kept
out Of politics.
Underhill Explains Bill.
Representative Underhill spoke on
workmen's compensation and told of
the forces that were boring from
within to destroy the government in
stitutions He told the board that
business men do have more interest
in insurance than just merely writ
ing a check for the annual premiums.
He said it was wrong to say that
workmen'S compensation is for the
protection of the laborer. 1t is for
the protection of the community, he
added.
he SAID there were palQ lODDy1SLS
purporting to represent organised
labor, who were fighting the COM
pensation measure and said he didn't
believe that they were doing it in
the interest of the laboring man.
Mr.. Underhill asserted that If buSi-
ness men would organize as others
had organized they would get better
treatment in all legislative bodies.
Referring to the mixing OF govern
ment and business, he said there was
too much government in business and
not enough business in government
and cited long list of the govern
ment's failure in business enterprises
Representative McKeown briefly
outlined his ideas for a territorial
government for the District, provid-
ing for a house and senate and q
representative in Congress. He pro-
posed that lump-sum appropriations
be provided, to be expended by the
local government, declaring that the
representatives of the people here
were in a better position to say wha,
should be done with the funds thar
members Of Congress, who came from
far and wide.
On motion of Charles F. Consaul
the board gave a rising vote Of
thanks to the speakers, after which
buffet supper was served.

Necessity Of increasing the appro-
priation for carrying on next year Of
the new water conduit above the
amount allowed by the budget bureau
was pointed out in a report presented
to the Washington Board of Trade last
night in the New Willard Hotel. Dan
ger of a water famine with accom-
panying pestilence, is possibility which
the District faces every day and will
face until the new conduit is completed,
it was declared.
Representatives Charles L. Underhi'l
OF Massachusetts and Tom d. Nc
keown of Oklahoma and former Chief
States Court of Claims delivered ad-
dresses. Mr.. Mckeown outlined plan
of self government for the District
which, he said, he would put in the
the next few days.
Reports also were received from the
special committee on rent legislation
and from the parks and reservations,
| insurance and fire protection and mu-
nclpal finance committees.

After reviewing the condition Of
the present aqueduct. Francis r.

committee, said that Gen. Beach,
c[ef of engineers, had recommended
to President Coolidge the Importance
OF appropriating sum of at least

the new conduit for the next fiscal
year, stating that any less sum may

Your committee feels" the report
says, that there is no more i'm
portant matter confronting the at

than the early completion of the ad-
ditional water supply project. and
in danger at any time of suffering
from a water famine in this city, re-
sulting in a great loss Of life due to
.epidemics and disorganization in all
governmental and private business -
The report also took up the matter
of efforts to obtain high water pres

purposes, and pointed out that there
is no satisfactory reason for the fail

Taking up the matter of water
power development at Great Falls,
the estimated cost of which would be
$44. .421 900, Mr.. Weller said that the

report of one government engineer

For. the committee Mr.. Weller ex-
pressed the belief that before a prof.
ect of this magnitude is adopted a
comm ission of experienced hydro
electric engineers shouI dbe.' select
ed to investigate and consider its
feasibility and the possible financial
returns that might result.
1.-The findings of such a commission
would be comprehensive and conclu-

report does not include all necessary
elements of cost to make the project

AUTO SHOW CROWDS
BREAK ALL RECORDS
Cars as Whole, Not Special Fea-
lures. Prove Greatest
Attraction. .
EACH A TEMPTATION
Positions Changed to Facilitate
Moving of Visitors.

All attendance records for local au-
tomobile shows were shattered last
night at Convention Hall, according
to Rudolph Jose, chairman of the
Automotive Trade Association.
With the return of dry-even though
cold-weather, the motor fan pill
grimage to the auto show began
early, and they were still coming,
Jose says, almost up to the closing
hour last night.
What makes this years show is not
the glitter of nickeled radiators, the
models, no yet the appealing music
ever floating through the air, but
rather an array of what is generally
conceded to be the finest, most practi
cal and most trustworthy motor cars
ever grouped under one roof In Wash
.ngton. .'
Generalizations go a-begging when
the visitor steps into Convention
Hall and commences looking the cars
over, for each car is a show in it
supplied with unique features of de-
sign and appointment, each tempting
the visitor to take the wheel and go
spinning over the hills and far away.
VIII Deliver Goods.
1t isn't because the 1924 car has
four-wheel brakes or balloon tires
or air cleaners or vibrationleSS mo-
; the goods, regardless of the variation
in design adopted by its makers.
1t is the opinion of Chairman Jose
! that when the springtime display
lights are turned out for the last
time and this show has folded it's
tent there will be more people to
look back upon 1924 with fond mem
orieS than have glanced backward on
any previous automotive year, be-
cause the present exhibition is one
- h4 Ay-x,t Sy1 fOh ho oh v~o fnv r,f
the manufacturer and dealer Is also
on display.
Some clever piece of mechanism
under the hood may catch your eye
for the time being, but before you
, pass judgment upon any of the cars
, at the show you are bound to discover
that the biggest feture of the year is
the fact that the big improvement in
any car is the car in its entirety.
In anticipation of the crowds that
! have thronged this years show, the
/, management made every effort to
arrange the displays SO that it Is pos
/! sible for visitors to move from one
car to another not r,. without S;n keeping IdaG
much comfort and convenience to
seeing the show, and has made 1t pos
sible for large crowds to attend and
remain throughout the evening.
Interest seems to be divided equally
among the unusual variety Of ex-
/ hibits, which include open and closed
| passenger cars, motor trucks, light
, delivery vehicles, ingenious devices
hin the accessory line, an auto body
paint, a prize beauty at the n. M; A.
A. "A. A. booth. and even motor boat
! now manufactured by Dodge Bros.
The decorative scheme is more
pleasing than ever, but one has to
, admit that it would still be a very at
| trActive show II there were nothing
else in decorations but the cars them
/ ,Ives.
The show will continue throughout
| tks present week, opening at o'clock
! in the afternoon and closing at 1O:a0
at night.

THE DAYS OF LONG
HAIR IS GOING
INTRODUCTION

1t has been mans domination over
women down through the ages that
has kept her hair long.
They say in history, that in the
stone age man captured his mate and
trained her into submission by pull
ing her hair.
Our mode of living in. the past half
century has changed things consider
ably. Most of this is caused by the
advancement Of the Automobile. IL
has placed women in pal" class.
Women like the great outdoors and
they enjoy things that men do, there
for their one aim is comfort.
The hair-bobbing business has just
started and we belive that its effects
are far reaching. From authority we
learn that they believe it will be the
standard hair dress of women for
years to come; that women will no
longer grow long hair.
We find in an early day all men wore
their hair long. History says that
the Crusaders were the first men to
cut their hair. The reason for doing
this was for comfort and cleanliness.
From that time on the fashion has
grown until practically all men Of the
civilized world wear their hair short.
We have for your inspection at the
Pollard Barber Shop, all Of the latest
styles Of ladies hair cutting which we
will be glad to show you among
which are, The Yankee Single, The
Boyish Single, The Bon Ton Single,
The French Bob, and the Sedate Bob,
And we are prepared to render first
class service.

 M. venizelos was extremely pale as he walked slowly to his seat in the chamber, and after the cheering sub sided he threw back his head repeat edly, as if catching his breath.
 The acting president announced that the assembly would proceed with the election of 8 permanent presi- dent. The liberals having announced of the republicans. M. Papanastasion arose and said they would vote for Venizelos owing to his services for the country.

 The leader of the radical republi- cans, Admiral Hadjikiriakos, then be- gan violent speech attacking Venizelos and denouncing his follow CTS as hero worshippers. During the course of his remarks he declared:
 Il am for ideas, not for idolatry."
 During a pause in the admirars speech. Venizelos. growing paler, put aside his hat, which he had been twitching nervously, and made as if to speak, but the admiral motioned him down, saying he had not finished
