Local taxi companies paid hotels
$4,000 last year for special parking
privileges. the Bureau of Efficiency
has reported to the District Com.
missioners. This practice should be
abolished and ''at least part of this
money should find its way back
into the pockets of the general
public in the form Of reduced taxi
rates." the bureau declared.
The Bureaus report was sub.
mitted to Major Edwin B. Hesse.
superintendent OF police, who
already has recommended the estab-
lishment of about 500 public hack
stands. some OF them outside of
these hotels.
The recommendation OF Major
Hesse are now before the District
Commissioners. but have not been
acted upon.
The present practice of granting
exclusive parking privileges to taxi.
cab companies at hotels Ia unfair
and Illegal. the Bureau declared.
The report recommended that
public hack stands be established
in the place of the private con.
cessions and that all hotel conces.
sionaires remaining after the public
hack stands have been established
be required to operate exclusively
for the accommodation of hotel
guests.

Mr.. Jane had no cdIcation to speak

genius for advertising. He prospercd
until he was selling not only the
standard patent medicines of the
times. but also proprietary wares of
his own manufacture.
Presently he evolved formula for
corn cure. On the theory that ladies'
generally wore tighter shoes than gen

especial appeal with his new balm to

He wished for sign prociaiming the

and sat on his doorstep. Good eve
ming, Old Man Coyote" said Hooty. Il
hope the hunting is good"
Old Man Coyote looked up at Hooty
and crinned. "It won't be after you
have passed." said he, which really
was a compliment to Hooty.
1T isn't now" replied Hooty. Il
really didn't expect it would be with
such n master hunter as you living
here.
Old May Coyote grinned, but said
nothing. Hooty kept on. He sailed
back and forth here and there, over
the Old Pasture, but, as he had expect
ed, he found nothing. Then he turned
and headed back for the Green Forest.
Old Man Coyote didn't see him, but
he saw Old Man Coyote. Old Man
Coyote was still sitting on his doorstep.
Hootv kept straight on to the Green
Forest. He planned to hunt along the
edge Of it. He hoped he might find
Peter Rabbit there. or Whitefoot the
Wood Mouse, or perhaps Danny Mead
ow Mouse.
Suddenly Hooty missed n beat Of his
wings. Yes, sir. he just held them
straight out and sailed along and
forgot to flap them. SO that he almost

staring eyes seemed bigger than ever.
and for once Hooty quite lost his
voice. You see, sitting back to him
just outside the edge of the Green
Forest, was some one who certainly
looked for all the world like Old Man
Coyote. Tt couldn't he a dog. It
wasn't Gray Fox. If Hooty could have
rubbed his eyes he certainly would
have rubbed them then. For how
could Old Man Coyote be down there
on the edge Of the Green Forest when
Hooty had just left him sitting on his
own doorstep up in the Old Pasture?
Hooty felt himself falling, so he
tapped his wings and made a circle
so as to come back for another look
How did you get down here before
me?" cried Hooty.
At the sound of his voice the shad-
owy figure below him gave a start and
then vanished in the Green Forest
Hooty was SO upset that he lost his
appetite. He flew straight to his IA.
vorite perch and there he sat and won

awake. Never was there more upset
Owl than was Hooty. He was certain
that he had seen Old Man Coyote on
his doorstep in the Old Pasture and
down on the edge Of the Green Forest
at practically the same time. And, Of
course, such thing as that Just
couldn't be.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Wednesday, June |.

According to astroloGy. tomorrow is
rather a menacing day, and one that
is not altogether lucky for long jour
neys.
There is sign read as forbidding
for meetings with strangers, for VEN
lures of any sort.
Uncertainty regarding certain lines
Of trade are indicated, and it Is we'll
not to take any risks.
Merchants and manufacturers should
be cautions, for great possibilities
hang in the balance.
While this rule prevails, there may
be much jealousy and envy revealed.
especially in politics.
Favorite sons are likely to have a
bad time under this planetary govern
ment, which tears down regulations
instead of building them up.
Wrong opinions may be prevalent,
and the tendency to believe the worst
should be combated.
The mind is subject to strong i'm
pressions while this configuration pre-.
walls, the seers declare, and sinister
ideas are readily accepted.
India continues under a malefic
sway that seems to indicate a bad
Summer season, in which some sort
of plague may be prevalent.
Much good fortune appears to be in
store for the younger generation,
which is to have opportunities to DEM
onstrate what progress means.
There is promising sign for road
building, and increase of travel by au-
tomobile is foretold.
Gardening now absorbs attention in
quarters where there has been indif-
ference hitherto.
Some sort of furry in wheat is
forecast.
Persons whose birth date it is should
arrange for serene year, in which
domestic affairs have precedence over
other interests.
Children born on that day may be
more lucky in love than in finance.
They are likely to be unusually
charming in body and mind.

Unpainted Furniture.

Have you ever shopped for unpaint-
ed furniture? 1t is almost like visit
ing the skeletons of the expensive
pieces which Your purse forbids you to
purchase. The factor that adds most
to the cost of good furniture is the
labor of finishing it.
Shoppers with flair for painting
and staining furniture will find real
bargains in many store easements and
shops. 1t is advisable to buy one
piece at a time, and devote sufficient
study and work to finishing it in a
satisfactory way. ANY paint store
will give one complete information on
the use of stains, varnishes. wakes
and antique smudges.
Chairs may be bought for as little as
Is cents. and when painted and pol
ished they are worth many times their
actual cost. Tables may he bought in
various shapes, and If the shape or
type that one wishes is not to be had
it may be ordered.
1t is advisable to choose woods that
will readily take paints and stains.
The surface Of the unfinished wood
should be smoothly planed and sand
papered. so that stains and paints can
be applied directly. Look out for
knotholes, splits and other defects. In
quire whether the piece is a second"
If it is don't buy it, unless it may be
actually used, and is appropriately
priced
There are some pieces which one
cannot buy unfinished, such as sofas
and settees. Yet even these may be
bought with cheap, temporary cover
ings. Once bought they may be re-
covered with materials of ones choos-
ing. There is an appreciable savings
il one makes her own covers, because
the labor costs for the same are high.
Cheap furniture is also obtainable
finished, and it's incXpensiveness may
be due to the cheapness of the finish.
Paint remover and sandpaper will re-
move the finish, and one may still
have her bargain. However, in such
instances it is not worth while TO buy
these pieces unless the woods are
good.
Plain oak benches and tables may be
