MAGISTRATE SYSTEM
STUDY IS PLANNED
Commissioners Ask Civic and Trade
Group to Consider Minor
I Court Plan.

First official recognition was given
by the Commissioners yesterday to the
proposed establishment of q magis-
trate system. of police courts in the
District for the handling of petty
cases.
Acting upon the recommendation of
commissioner Proctor l.. Dougherty
the Board Of Commissioners voted to
request six civic and trade organiZa-
lions to name representatives to serve,
on a special committee to study the
magistrate system. Commissioner
Dougherty pointed out that a study of
the system should he made in connec-
ton with the authoriZ& ton granted at
the last session of Congress for a new
Police Court building.
The Magistrate Courts. he said
would hear minor cases at the various
police stations and thus save large
number of petty offenders from the
necessity of appearing in Police Court.
This would relieve congestion, he de-
rlared. and possibly result in n some
what smaller building being required
for Police Court purposes.
The orga niZations which will be
urged to appoint representatives on
the committee are Chamber of Com
IN rec. the Board of Trade, the Dis
trict Bar Association. the Federation of
citizens Association. the Twentieth
Century Club and the Women's City
Club.

they require fences even stronger and
higher than those needed to restrain
the bulls of common domestic cattle.
Most of our animals go to public parks
and zoos and a few to large private
estates"
Though the animals are given away
free. they cannot be obtained without
expense, for the recipients must pay
the cost of capture and transportation
to Gardiner, Mont, where they are
loaded on the cars. This amounts to
about $S5 per animal. In addition
the shipment is made by express, the
charges to be paid at the receiving
end. A ton of live meat on the hoof
goes beyond even Government gener'
osity in franking parcels post, the
park officers say.
The Yellowstone Park herd has been
increasing so fast in recent years that
some of the animals are being han

the exhibition bulls being offered as
gifts, the National Park Service now
has some 200 buffalo steers for sale,
which can be killed for their meat

Buffalo Given Away at National Park

essary.
The covers may then be removed
from pictures and furniture, and
should be shaken out Of doors if pos
sible.
Then the room and furniture should
be busted thoroughly, beginning at
the top Of the room and working
down.
When a room is cleaned with a
vacuum cleaner. the order Of pro
ceeding is different. The room Is first
busted, then the vacuum cleaner is
used on upholstery, hangings. walls,
and carpets or rugs, and finally the
floor is busted. BY this method of
cleaning fewer articles need to be
moved, no dust is scattered, and moro
dirt is actually removed. A vacuum
cleaner, therefore. saves labor, even
though with some types part of the
work is harder than sweeping.

Cleaning room according to a def
mite plan will save labor because the

all and finally put them all in order,
Sweeping and busting should be
made as dustless as possible. for the
object is to remove dust, not to scatter
it. In sweeping, the strokes should be
firm and even and taken in such a
way that the broom or brush is kept
on the floor most Of the time and not
flirted through the air. The dust
cloth should be held in "A fairly COM
pact mass, so that the surface to be
| cleaned is wiped or polished and at
the same time the dust is held by the
cloth.
Small pictures and bric-a- brac
should be busted and removed from
the room or placed in a pile and
covered.
Draperies and portieres should be
taken down or pinned up.
Furniture. mirrors and pictures
should be busted and covered with
cloths.
Radiators or registers should be
cleaned. Each register should be
lifted out. placed on newspaper, and
busted thoroughly with a brush and
an oiled cloth. The hot-air pipe should
be brushed and the screen cleaned.
The opening should be covered with
newspaper and the register placed

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, November "a.
BY ROBERT CULLEN.

Mercury, Venus and the sun are in
benefic aspect tomorrow, according to
astrology. Mars and Uranus are ad-
verse.
This is a rule most auspicious for
every sort Of publicity, and especially
for advertising theaters and places Of
amusement.
Women should benefit particularly
while this sway prevails, for 1t ap-
pears to promise them support In pub
lie movements.
Many new campaigns for civic
righteousness and political reform are
proSnosticated, and in these women
will be prominent.
1t is an auSplcious day for seeking
employment, and women should be
unusually lucky.
This is one of the rarely auspicious
wedding days in which they who
plight their troth may be reasonably
sure Of harmony and prosperity.
Mars tomorrow menaces certain
lines Of work and appears to forecast
much trouble over municipal improve
ments. especially where streets are
concerned. Many cities will be af-
fected by the rule of the stars.
Contests of opinion, and even Of
political strength, may be expected
over ornaments, the seers foretell.
Oil and shipping interests are to
profit greatly, and new discoveries Of
the earth's resources are to be ex-
pected. Water and air are to be the
mediums of more disasters.
Persons whose birth date it is have
the prospect of an active, profitable
year, in which land and other prop.
critics should be extraordinarily pro.
ductive.
Children born on that day probably
will reach eminence in any vocation
which may be selected. Girls have the
augury of advantageous marriages.

Answer-(D You would look well in
a black satin, with dull rose or peach
trimming; dark green or dark blue
and warm light tan trimming and
footwear to match; dull orchid or pink
violet in chiffon for evening wear.
with touches of silver lace and silver
slippers; dull yellow and black plaid
skirt, with velveteen overblouse of
black or yellow; deep cream, browns,
warm taupe, flesh and red as trim
ming all are good for your type. Use
a medium shade of powder. or perhaps
mixture of brunette and flesh. You
may wear large hats for dress oc-
casions, but for general wear, choose
medium-siZed shape. You will look
well in f1ared skirts as well as pleated
ones, coat suits, two-piece dresses,
new bloused back, and coats with
short capes. (2) Yes. (3) For every
day wear, choose comfortable low
heeled shoes in colors to match your
clothes. A girl of your height should
not wear very high heels, but may
wear moderately high ones with dressy
clothes. BE sure to have color har-
mony between footwear and dresses.
