Harley. p. Wilson, author of the
merger plan, and his attorney,
I william Gibbs McAdoo, are to tell
their side of the merger story,
while Ralph Fleharty. peoples
counsel Of the public Utilities Com
mission, is to represent the public
Of Washington.
It lis possible that both sides viii

ceptions which have arisen since
the merger plan was made public.
The two citizens groups sup
posedly representing the. people of
Washington--the Citizens Advisory
Council and the Federation of
Citizens Associations. appear to be
somewhat kout Of step on the
merger.
while the federation continues its
bitter attack on the plan itself
and on Harley p Wilson, bus COM
pany head, for his part in bring
ing the traction heads together, the
Advisory Council is keeping an
open mind on the subject Both
groups express themselves as favors
ing q. merger, however.
The Citizens Advisory Council
meeting last night at the District
Building adopted a conciliatory
resolution offered by George c..
Hayenner, who also is member
OF the federation, deploring criti-
cism of the sponsors Of the pro-
posed merger, after amending it to
eliminate a demand for the banning
or one man cars. The council also
refused to criticize the valuation
and the rate OF return features of
the agreement, and turned down a
proposal to include free transfers
between street cars and buses.
The council voted in favor of "rea-
sonabIe protection" Of the new COM
pany against competition instead of
absolute monopoly now provided for,
leaving the door open. for entry OF
another bus company If the merged
companies refuse to extend service
on the order Of the Public Utilities
Commission.
Federation Attack
While the advisory council was
holding its constructive meeting,
the utilities committee of the FEEDER
alton OF Citizens Associations met in
the Southern Building and continued
its attack on the merger agreement,
but failed to offer substitute pro-
posals or suggestions.

My Dear Mr.. Garner:
Recently / have been informed that YOU

ing his campaign on the ground that he
will be able to do more for the people Of
your district in the way OF obtaining pro-
lection for the products Of the farm than
you would or could.
This Is a great mistake. The people do
not always understand how little a men,
Der OF Congress can do until he has been
here for a number Of years. | am sure you
can do more for your constituents in the
way of obtaining protection for their prod
uets than any new man could, and | know
that you have always done the best posi-
bic 10 protect the products Of the farms Of
your district. Your long experience here
and your standing in Congress is a great
advantage to your constituents whose in
terests have always been well looked after
by YOU
am writing this assuming that a
Democrat will be nominated and elected
in your district. Such being the case. I
car hardly think il possible that your con-
stituents will give up the advantage that
they now have.
With best wishes. ! remain,
Very truly yours.

Facial Exercises.

Now and again an advocate Of facial
exercises receives considerable news
paper publicity and then for time
the subject drops into obscurity. Yet
there Is some real value in the idea
for those who will seek for 1t and apply
1t with moderation. One of my readers
who has heard some indefinite rumors
about this method of keeping the face
young has asked me to discuss 1t here,
and am glad to comply.
The principle upon which facial exer-
cises are based is that the muscles of
the face need exercise TO stimulate the
flow of blood and tone UP the tissues,
just as the body muscles do. OF course,
the facial muscles are exercised to some
extent in the acts of chewing, talking,
laughing or yawning, but this does not
appear to be sufficient TO keep the
cheeks smooth and firm. Many women
whose faces have begun TO sag and
wrinkle take massage treatments or
use special face packs. Massage Is a
passive form of exercise and is more
restful and quieting TO the nerves than
facial exercises, but 1t cannot take the
place of the latter. The alternate
that the exercises demand are naturally
more stimulating than massage.
Whether facial exercises viii prove
TO be beneficial or too drastic in a
given case depends on the individual
In general it seems better TO begin
taking these exercises while the face
Is still full and lineless as preventive
measure against wrinkles. The sort Of
skin that has become badly wrinkled
is usually so inelastic that 1t will hold
the creases caused by the facial exer-
else. For this type Of face vibratory
or gentle patting massage is best.
Facial exercises are extremely simple.
Before beginning them apply film Of
cold cream over the skin 10 make i.
