For the first time in many
years, the annual appropriation
for the District of Columbia

terial increase, it became
known today.

recter Of the Budget, officially
notified the Commissioners to-
day that the Districts needs
for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1929, must be met by no
more than $38, 804, $50.
City Heads Shocked
The Budget Bureaus decision
came as 4 distinct shock to the
G Commissioners who had been led
by reports from the summer
White House to believe that the
total approved by the Budget
Bureau would be $50 500, 900, or
500, 900 more than was actually
approved.
The Commissioners asked for q
budget Of $40, O00, 900, more than
So, 600, 900 in excess of the amount
granted by the budget officials.
The total approved by the Presi-
dents fiscal advisor is only
slightly above the $38, 573, 839
approved by the Budget Bureau
last year.

ened. At dinner dance they are
not expected to dance together too
frequently, and il is perfectly correct
for the husband to take another wo-
man to dinner and the wife to be
escorted by another man. The abil-
ity to conceal any distaste for each
others conduct, not to speak harsh
ly, or not to disagree in public, dis
plays a mark of refinement and de-
mands the respect and confidence of
their friends in their marital felicity.
Husbands and wives will remember
that their home needs the charm of
their presence more than society
does, and their complaisance and civ
ility should be practiced in the daily
household as well as on state occa-
sions.

Coal Center Favors
Gas for Water Heating

Scranton, Pa, the capital of
anthracite mining in the United
States, favors gas for its water
heating, despite the relatively low
price of coal, ten dollars a ton.
Three per cent of the gas meters
of the Hyde Park Gas Co., of
Scranton, serve automatic water
heaters, including FIVE out of eight
banks, Is out of IS large restau-
rants, four out of seven hospitals,
eight out of nine schools and three
out of FIVE coal company office
buildings.
Despite the fact that coal is the
basis of prosperity for Scranton,
and that many Of its leading citi.
zens are directly concerned with
the coal industry, gas for water
heating has won out because of
its comfort and convenience
phases.
BY far the most interesting In
stallation of a gas-6red water
heater Is that in the dressing room
of a prominent coal mining COM
pany. As the miners emerge from
the shaft after digging anthracite
they get their showers in gas
heated water.-(Adv.)

PAGE FOR WOMEN
Try Your Hand at These

The woman who prides herself as
"good cook" likes to know how to
make dishes of all kinds. The fol-
lowing recipes may be a worthwhile
addition to your scrap book collec-
ton:
Hot Ham Sandwich
Cut bread as for sandwiches, using
brown, gluten, whole wheat or gra-

butter, and the other with finely
chopped ham. Press the buttered
piece onto the ham, and dip in slight
ly beaten egg. Fry a golden brown

Between Husbands and Wives


Between Husbands and Wives
The solemnization of marriage is
a sacred ceremony and should be OBJ
served in a reverent spirit. Marriage
is not a termination of friendship,
but the beginning of true and tried
test of real friendship and its value.
Both parties are expected to observe
with each other the same little cour-
tesies that they would observe if just
plain friends. Consultation and adj
vice together on everything which
concerns either is one of the privil-
eyes as well as duties of marriage.
1t is entirely Improper for a hus-
band to open his wife's mail or vice
versa, without permission. however,
mail addressed to Mr.. and Mrs. joint
ly may be opened bv either. The re-
ply to same being agreeable to both.
Refined couples will mutually adj
just the labors of each to the other
so that there shall be time for rec
reation and social life together. A
married couple should move in the
same social circle, or a serious
breach of family happiness is threat

Beauty Answers
Don't Get Old

There is no excuse for a woman
neglecting her personal appearance.
The charge of caring overmuch for
beauty is not often justified-every
woman has the right to make the best
of what she has, and she will be
healthier and happier if she keeps
her youth and charm. Youth is q
matter of physical and mental con.
dition, rather than years. Mental
condition is a reflection of the phys
ical condition and vice versa. II you
feel thoroughly well your spirits are
high and you are not nervous and
tense; il you keep cheerful and do
not worry, your health is better
And so it goes.

WHITE STAINS ON FURNITURE

Take three cloths. Dip a cloth in
kerosene oiL and rub the. spot well.
Then quickly take another cloth
dipped in alcohol and rub quickly.
Too much alcohol will destroy the
varnish. Then moisten the third
cloth with furniture polish and rub
thoroughly.

A coat of paint on some of the old
furniture in the attic may make it
just right for the porch.
Softwood- floors are less likely to
splinter If they are treated regularly

Becomingness in clothes isn't a
matter of looks only; they should be
suitable for the occasion and to the
purse as well.
The greatest trouble with most
housekeepers' daily schedule is that
they try to put more in them than
any woman could do in day.
The buzz of the first fly is a hint
of spring, and also a hint to spring
at it with a fly-swatter. One now
saves many later.
To remove white spots from var
nished furniture, dip cloth in weak
ammonia water, wiring it as dry as
possible, and rub the spots. This
will restore the original color, and
ordinary furniture polish will restore
the desired finish.
To save both food and ice, tighten
the hinges and latches on the refrig-
orator before warm weather comes.
Fresh eggs contain more water
than stale eggs. For this reason,
fresh eggs sink when placed in water,
while stale eggs float.
Be sure the winter woolens are
clean and are free from moths before
packing them away for the summer
if you want them to come out whole
next fall.

MISS J. X: As your skin is dark
you must be careful in the choice
of a powder. Use powder of deep
shade, as a light powder gives the
face a plastered look, particularly
on the nose and chin. A dull red
rouge may be used.
]. L.: Reliable depilatories may
be used elsewhere than on the face.
They do not claim to remove hair
permanently, but are merely meas
ures of relief. The idea that cold
cream stimulates the growth of hair
has no basis.
w. r. X: An eyewash for tired
eyes is: Boric acid, l per cent; So
dunn biborate, one gram; water cam.
phor, 60 drops, and three ounces of
distilled water. Apply with an eye
cup.
S. B. j.: You are Is pounds over
weight. Standard weight for age
20, five feet seven, is 1873 pounds.
MARION B.: Mild cases of black
heads may be cured by bathing the
face with soap and warm water, and
scrubbing with a complexion brush.
Rinse with warm, then cold water.
In more exaggerated cases steaming
the face is advised.
MRS. H. n: Apply hot vinegar
to her head at night and wrap her
head up in towel. In the morning
comb with a fine comb which has
been creased. Wash the hair. This
treatment will rid the child of lice
and nits.
Vic: Try this exercise for remov-
ing the thickening between the Shout
der blades. Stand erect, feet close
together, fingers interlaced at back
of head; bend trunk forward as far
as possible and back as far as pos
sible, without strain. Exhale on
downward movement and inhale on
upward movement. Do this exer-
else slowly.
|. r. G.: The irritation which re-
suits from the removal of the hair
under the arms may be overcome by
lapplEing cold cream. A good plan
, is I'd remove the hair before going
to bed and leave some of the cream
ON during the night.
FLORA M: Six hours Is not suf-
ficient sleep for you, as indicated by
the dark circles under your eyes.
You should have eight hours of sleep
every night, and If you lose it one
night you must make up for II by
going to bed earlier the next night.
C. K. P.-The use of good rouge
is not harmful, but it must always
be removed at night if you value
your complexion. It is removed with
cold cream or a good skin food.
Lena-Sage tea is not at all harm
full to the hair. Shampoo in the regu-
lar way and add the sage tea to the
final rinse water. Prepare it with
the dried leaves just as you do any
