fortified with the conviction that
she knows az much. IL not q bit

She dares to be impudent,
knowing full well that mother

no use for Miss Brown. She forms

Regardless of the type OF
water heater which you have
selected, there are a few points
which should he considered for
economy's sake. The first Of
these liz that YOU use brass
pipes, though they are rather
more expensive than iron pipes.
The actual economy here Is not
one of monthly maintenance, but
the saving of replacement costs.
The iron pine corrodes and rust
collects within 1t. until finally, in
stead Of being able to get a free

water faucet. and later the cold.
This is true with practically every
type OF water supply. If economy
demands that a pipe other than
brass he used for part OF your
plumbing installa ton, use iron
only for the cold water.
Another saving is keeping the
coils of a heater free from the
products Of combustion.

Col. Lamb, Serving Under
Three Governments,
Back Home.

Albert Roswell Lamb, former Wash
ington police official, who has had dis
tinguished service as head Of the ma
tional police of both Guatemala and
Panama, has returned to the United
States, and is visiting old friends in
Washington.
His latest post was colonel and in

Old Friend Of Maj. Hesse.
Coming to Washington first in 1891,
Lamb entered the Washington police
force about the same time as Edwin
B. Hesse, now major and superintendent
of police here, who was then stenog-
rapher. The two men had a long talk
on Col. Lambs return, recalling old
as heads of great police departments.
While Col. Lamb found many changes
in the Washington force, he said he was
glad to find, here also his old friend
Inspector Henry G. Pratt, with whom
he also had long visit.
Becoming desk sergeant at No. pre-
