recurrence of boils should be the signal for visit to the doctor.
 The person who succumbs readily to skin infections lacks bodily re- sistance. This resistance of the skin is associated with the presence in the blood of substances that will overcome bacteria.
 The constantly recurring warning to keep the body in the best physi- cal state by proper diet proper cleaning and prompt attention to in- fections in the ear, nose and throat is here of the greatest importance.
 When boil occurs the parts around 1t are usually shaved, since the infection spreads from one hair follicle to another. All sorts of antiseptics may be applied and fail to control the boil unless the tissues Of the body wall it off and cause it to "come to a head" Heat aids this process by bringing a good supply of blood to the part affected.
 Surgical Attention
 A boil should not be opened by some friend who happens to think himself surgeon merely because he does not faint at the sight of blood. Improper opening or drain- age of a boil may be exceedingly serious by spreading the infection to the body generally.
 The surgeon will open the boil with proper precautions against ex- tension of the infection and will see to 1t that the boil drains properly.
 The germs that cause boils arc small round organisms commonly sen in clusters when strained and studied with a microscope. Some physicians build up the resistance of the chronic sufferer from boils by preparing a vaccine from the pa- tents own bacteria

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

Poor Mrs. Grouse. She was safe i for the time being, but what should 1 she do when she came out of the hollow log? No wonder that Old ] llan Coyote hadn't lost his temper f when he found he couldn't reach her in there. She would either have to come out 10 get something to eat. or starve to death. All Old Man Coyote had to do was to wait until sh came out. And she knew we'll | enough that if Old Man Coyote should go away. Reddy Fox would be sure to take his place. It cer- tainy was hard position to be in. But Mrs. Grouse is not one to borrow trouble. She believes In making the best of the present. and for the present she was safe. It would be time enough to worry when she had to worry. So she settled herself to be as comfortable as possible. She wouldn't come out that day anyway, and if Old Man Coyote wanted to wait he would nave SOou long walt.
 Nothing happened to Mrs. Grouse during the night. In fact, she had a good sleep. The next morning she awoke hungry, but she couldn't make up her mind to venture out to get some food. She felt right down inside that or Man Coyote, or Reddy Fox, or perhaps both. were hiding close by. So she did her best to swallow her hunger, which you know isn't at all filling. By and by she heard MT. Grouse. He was talking to her from Q distance. He was up in tree. He told her just what she had feared. He told her that Old Man Coyote was hid ing where he could spring out at her the moment she left that hol- low log. So once more she said to herself that she would starve to death before she would go out. After what seemed like long. long time, she heard heavy footsteps outside. She listened to them and q little hope came to her. They sounded like the footsteps of Farmer Browns Boy and Farmer Browns Boy was friend. Still, they might be the footsteps Of the hunter with the terrible gun. So Mrs. Grouse didn't dare move.
 Now it was Farmer Browns Boy His mother had told him of hay ing heard two shots over In the Green Forest the day before. when ha and Farmer Brown had been away; so this morning he had started early for the Green Forest to make sure that no hunters were there on this day. You see, 1t was Thanksgiving Day, and he knew that many hunters were afield with their terrible guns. Resides, he want ed 10 see if he could find any signs Of what had happened the day be- fore.
 Now the eyes of Farmer Browns Boy are sharp. He doesn't miss much. He saw the feathers from the wing of Mrs. Grouse. and he knew by this that the hunter had hit Mrs, Grouse. Then he began a patient search. Perhaps the hunter had killed Mrs, Grouse, and perhaps

SCHOOL TUITION ISSUE
PUT UP TO OFFICIALS

The District Commissioners today
referred to Corporation Counsel Fran.
els H. Stephens and Auditor Daniel
j. Donovan the question raised re-
Gently by the Board of Education as
to the legal requirements concerning
the payment of tuition by pupils in
the public schools living in the Dis
trict whose parents live outside.
The matter already has been under
consideration by the auditor for more
than a week. but he reported to the
Commissioners that; due to a conflict
of opinion existing between himself
and the. corporation counsel. it should
be considered jointly by them with
view to reaching a common under
standing.
Seventy eight cases are involved in
the joint opinion of the auditor and
corporation counsel. All are an out.
growth of a decision rendered some
time ago by the auditor as a result of
an application for refund Of tuition
paid by a father of a nonresident
pupil for his daughter. In this par
ticular case Maj. Donovan ruled that
the tuition charges were properly paid
and therefore could not be properly
refunded.
There have been so appeals from
this decision of the auditor, and pend
ing final determination of the case
the school board has decided to hold
in abeyance the suspension Of pupils
whose parents or guardians have not
paid the tuition fee.

100000 ARMORY
AND HOTEL SOUGHT
New York Avenue Structure
Would Also House Buses,
Under Proposal.

Plans for a new $1500.000 build
ing to be located between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets on New York
avenue and which will house an
armory for the National Guard. a
45o-room hotel and bus terminal,
are now being discussed.
While the erection of the build
ing has not yet actually been de-
cided upon, it is understood that
there is every probability of the
project going through. A. l.. Wells.
local real estate man, who is the
sponsor of the plan. declared that
he is now in negotiation with a
Detroit concern, which he hopes will
take over the hotel part of the build J.
ing. The Washington Rapid Transit
Co.. it is understood. has been ap-
proa ched with the suggestion that
they take over the bus terminal part
of the building on the ground floor.
In discussing the offer of part of
the building, as an armory for the
District National Guard, Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan. commander of the
local Guard, declared that the offer
of a location in the proposed build
ing was the best rental project sub
mitted to the National Guard. He
explained, however, that appropri-
ations as they now stand allow an
annual rental expenditure by the
organization of only $4,000. This,
he explained would be insufficient
to occupy space in the proposed
building. Gen. Stephans, however.
explained that a new bill would ask
for 100000 appropriations for annual
rentals. He said he preferred the
Pension Office Building for the or
ganization's headquarters above any
thing else suggested.
1t is understood that the result of
the various offers made to the bus
companies and the National Guard
will in large measure decide
whether or not the building plans
will be carried through.

Taking the view that control of pri-

feet park areas or sections where
public buildings may be erected lis
a matter of great importance, the
Commission of Fine Arts meeting to-
day al the Interior Department Build
ing decided to take up this matter
with the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to outline the
future course of the commission with
regard TO jurisdiction over private
building operations.
The commission discussed at some
length the proposal by H. P. Caem-
merer, its secretary that some form
of jurisdiction should be had over
private building opera tions to prevent
ruination of such desirable park
areas as the Piney Branch section
and other future park areas.
The commission announced it's ap-
proval of the general public building
program as outlined by the Public
Buildings Commission two weeks ago,
and announced it's satisfaction with
some of the details of the plan as
laid down by James Bennett Of

v. R. 7. SALE HELD
TO Be VIOLATION
OF UTILITIES ACT
Clayton Declares Purchase
by North American Com.
pany Is Illegal.

Acquisition of the Washington
Rapid Transit Co by the North Amer
ican Co. of New York was a violation
| of the public utilities act, William
Nick. Clayton, special legal adviser to
the Public Utilities Commission. held
in an opinion submitted today to the
commission. The opinion was based
on Mr.. Clayton's exhaustive investii-
cation into the status of all public
utilities corporations in the District.
Mr.. Clayton held that no other
utility corporation in the District and
under the control Of the commission
offended the act of Congress by ac-
quiring and holding the stocks and
bonds Of another public utility corpo-
ration without first securing the con
sent and validation of either Congress
or the commission to such purchase
and holding.
While he refrained from expressing
an opinion at this time as to the hold
ings of the North American co. IN
the Washington Railway and Electric
and Capital Traction companies, Mr.
Cla vton warned the commission that
should a merger of the street railway
companies fail to be contaminated "a
very grave question might arise as
to the legality of these holdings.
Consent Has Been Sought.
The purchase q the Washington
Rapid Transit by the North American
Co. Mr.. Clayton said, seems to be
the first instance" in the commits
sion's IA years of control where
public utility submitting to its juris-
diction desiring to buy or sell the
stock or bonds of another pubic util-
ity did not first apply for the consent
of the commission to such purchase
or sale
I'm most of these petitions for ap-
proval and consent" the report added,
"the commission assumed jurisdiction
and consented to the sale and pur-
chase: in others, acting under the
advice of it's general counsel, 1t re-
fused to act. on the ground that sole
jurisdiction of the particular case
rested in Congress under section II
