LONG HAIR'S NOT AS
TIDY AS THE BOB
BY ANN ALYSIS

Women of the present generation
have been wont to smile sneeringly
or laugh derisively at the styles of
twenty-five years ago. The bobbed
head, the simple gown, the short
and freedom giving skirt were So
sensible that they felt that they
we're here to stay.
OF course if any one we're to
propose that tomorrow everyone
should appear in long drapcd skirts
and long hair deliberately dressed
there would be open rebellion. But
that is not the way these changes
are brought about but rather is the
change made gradually through sew
eIal seasons.
We are in the course of sucn
changes now Long hair, longe:
skirts, or short skirts and long
draperies at sides and back show the
trend
What has long hair to recommend
it's apparent revival? No one can
dispute the fact that the boboed
style brought with it love for
cleanliness and trinlness that never
we're part Of the regime wher long
hair was the vogue.
The head being round, my ar
rangement of long hair, except at
the neckline, is bound to slip from
its moorings and as a consequence
untidiness and WHISKY locks are the
common order of the day-and the
night So it behooves us all, if we
wish to keep this trimness, to take
thought now for the future, and
not follow fashion blindly # it die
tates long hair again.

Home War;
SeSS 10 u S
for Peace
BY MARTHA LEE

When there are QuarrelS and
general atmosphere of discord in
home, it is time for both the hus-
band and wife to try and regard
the situation in an impersonal way
so as to find where the real source
of trouble is.
From my experience in hearing
about many of these domestic dis
agreements and writing about them
in this column, I should say that
at least half of these ugly little
quarrels are caused by a lack of
understanding of both sides of a
question by the husband and wife.
Though, of course, I only hear
one side of the story, still between
the lines the other partners side
will creep out. can only wish
these husbands and wives could
calmly write to each other in the
same rational way they write to
me, an outsider, and tell each
other their way at looking at things.
I really think that many of these
little misunderstanding could be
swept away and absolutely pre-
vented from causing such a gigan-
tic breach later on that the only
solution is divorce.
Try having a good session, I'M
happy husbands and wives, and
come to a complete understanding.
Remember, you both must have the
right frame of mind for a talk
like this, and the mind to have has
the qualities of receptiveness to new
ideas, celInness, lack of an objec-
tionable temper and a general
willingness toward peace.
Dear a., Miss Lee; My wife and are con.
spending an evening for recreation. I know
it seems silly to write, but the whole
friends while I enjoy show. Everytime
plan to go out. the old subject comes
up until we both are losing our love and
respect for one another. Really, Miss
Lee, 1t Is no pleasure for me at all to
go and dance around small floor for an
Please advise me how to get her to see
my point of view UNHAPPY M L.
Dear Unhappy M. L.: If you are
not so much aroused over the fact
that you absolutely do not want to
dance, you would see the solution
of your problem. That solution is,
Of course, compromise.
There is no way to change per-
sons likes and dislikeS. If your wife
dislikes shows now, she probably
will continue to be bored with them
no matter how much you praise
them. However, why not be frank
with each other? Admit your
tastes are as opposite as the two
poles and make the best of it. If you
plan to spend two evenings week
away from home, spend one of them
at a show and the other dancing,
Is that too much a price to pay
for your happiness together? Of
course it is not.

PIT TSBURGH' 5
TRACTION PLAN
PROPOSED

4 counter proposal - unlimited
weekly and Sunday passes-win be
offered to the Public Uitlitiec Com
mission when it meets to consider
the petition of the Capital Traction
Company for increased car fares.
The traction company has asked
for a straight eight cent fare or. in
lieu of a single fare. Decent fare
with four tokens for 30 cents.
A group OF car-riders, 1t became
known today, will ask the commission
to apply the Pittsburgh plan to
Washington.
The traction company, in its
advertisements called attention to
the fact that lO-cent fare Is charged
In Pittsburgh.
The company did not mention the
unlimited weekly and Sunday passes.
In Pittsburgh a weekly unlimited
pass is sold for $50 and an unlimited
Sunday pass is sold for rs cents.
How Plan orks
The Sunday passes in Pittsburgh
are saio to be popular. The user

fare and three token are sold for

The utilities commission will
meet Monday to fix a date for
opening of the fare increase hear
ings. They will probably begin
June 26 or 81.
William Nick Clayton, chairman
of the utilities committee of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
has served notice that he will. on
behalf of the federation. vigorously
protest any increase In fare.
1.-THE question OF valuation is
bound to come up for considera-
ton" says Mr.. Clayton. The COM
mission has a made -to-order valua-
ton opportunity. They are com
pleting at this time the valuation
of the gas properties; they have
the right under the utilities act
to proceed with any utility and
now is the time for valuation of the

by car riders of the District. Why
not use that fund in paying the

THE Utilities Act makes no refer

with the protection that the car
rider IL entitled to.
'SThe public is entitled to have

PRESENT I A X
RATE DUE FOR
1929 .

Major Daniel J. Donovan. District
auditor, today recommended to the
District Commissioners that the
Districts rate for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1929. be S1.7O per
$100-the present rate.
The Commissioners, meeting next
Monday, probably will approve the
auditors recommendation.
The estimated total assessed valu.
alton of taxable real estate for the
fiscal year 1929 is 81, 1853, 900, and for
tangible personal property $1O6..
900 900. making a-total valuation for
both purposes of $1.259 600, 900.
The application of a tax rate of
$40. without taking into consider
alton any allowance for unpaid
taxes, will produce revenue collec-
lions of /$21 100000.
$16,45O,OOO Is Total
Estimated revenues for the Dis
trict for 1929 are: contribution by
the United States, $4,000 900; tax
on intangible personal property,
So, 900; tax on earnings Of pub.
lie service corporations, banks.
building associations, ETC., $3.50, 900:
miscellaneous collections, $4,000. 900.
These several items total $16,450, 900,
leaving $21 ,212,348 to be raised by
the application of tax rate on the
full assessed valuation OF taxable
real estate and tangible personal
property.
The total definite appropriation
charges against the revenues of the
District for the 1929 fiscal year are
$37, 662, S48.
More Money For Roads
Major Donovan points out thet
estimated expenditures for the ex-
tension of streets and roads over
previous years.
At the present time. condemnation
proceedings are pending in court
for the extension of Fourteenth
Street and other streets to the
southern boundary of the Walter
Reed Hospital grounds, ard for the
widening Of Conduit Road, Good
Hope Road. Benntng Road, Reser-
voir Road. and other streets.
"Verdicts in these several cases,
1t Is believed. will be handed down
during the fiscal year 1929, and it
is estimated that the cost to the
District of Columbia will be about
81 900, 900. OF this sum at least
100000 will very likely he expended
during the fiscal year 1929, and this
amount has been included in the
tax rate computed for that year."
