UNIFORM BUS TAX
URGED BY BOARD
Change Would Levy 6 Mills
Per Mile for Each Ma =. j,
chine Operated.

A move to establish uniform meth
cd of taxing motor buses was made to-
day by the Public Utilities Commission,
when it recommended to the committee
appointed by the Commissioners to
study licenses and fees the adoption ot
tax of 6 mills bus mile on all motor
bus operations. The proposed tax would
affect not only the busses operated by
the two street railway companies. but
buses of the Washington Rapid Transit
Co. and independent companies.
The commission feels that under the
existing method of taxation the street
railway companies are being dtscrinli-
mated against in their bus operations
Of per cent on the gross revenue OF
their busses, while the Washington
Sapid Transit and other bus companies
lrT no revenue tax.
The method of taxation proposed By
the commission, therefore, would reduce
the tax on the bus operations of the
car companies and increase the taxes
paid by the independent bus concerns
which now consist only of personal
property tax and the so-called "jitney
license" fee OF SO a year.
The mill tax, the commission CAL
culated. would increase the taxes OF
the Washington Rapid Transit Co
about $2,500 a year: the Washington,
Marlboro g. Annapolis line, $500; the
Alexandria, Bancroft 81 Washington
Co. $4,000; the Washington, Virginia
g. Maryland Coach Co., sl,l00. and the
smaller operations combined about $500.
The reduction to the car companies
would amount to about 81 200 for the
Capital Traction Co. and about $500
for the Washington Railway & Electric
Co.

Of residents of the vicinity of 908 B

cation of the House of Detention there,
and will endeavor to build new home
for the women and minor prisoners of

An option on a site at this corner has
been secured, 1t was learned. Further,
an appropriation Of $4,000 probably
will be included in the Districts budget
for l929-30 for purchase of the site.
This Is the site over which the Com
missioners entered into negotiations
with a contractor some time ago. looking
toward his erecting a building which
the city government would rent. These
negotiations fell through. 1t is i'm
proved by Catholic Girls School.
In the meanwhile, the Womans Bu-
reau will continue to occupy the pres

southwest. They were compelled to va
cate the old house of detention at
Fifteenth street and Ohio avenue to

fruitless efforts to find the slayer Of

The commissioner denied that he and
the mayor had had any disagreement

he was satisfied with the handling of
the case and that he expected an ar
rest before the week is over.
Differences of opinion between the
police and the district attorney also
have come into the open. District At
torney Joab Banton insisted that
Tough Willie" McCabe, alleged to have
been present when Rothstein was shot,
was not there and is not being sought.
The police declared they want Tough
Willie" as a witness to the shooting.
A court fight for the gamblers estate
variously estimated at from S500,0 600 to
$40 5000 opened in Surrogate's Court
with the filing of a petition by his
father seeking to be named executor
of the estate In the will which Roth
stein signed ON his death bed and
which, it has been intimated. his wife
and parents will attempt to have in
validated. RothStein named Maurice
Cantor, his attorney, and two other
friends as executors. It was in this
will that Inez Norton, former show girl.
was named beneficiary. Thesgambler
had been estranged from his wife and
had reduced her share Of the estate
from one-half to a life interest in only
one-third.

There are many ways in which wom-
ankinds ancient enemy, Father Time,
works to destroy her youthful beauty.
He usually starts by deepening her
prejudices and stopping her mental de-
velopment. We become old mentally,
rs a rule, before we age physically. Then
our figures begin to take on middle
aged appearance, our hair becomes
streaked with gray and our faces fur
rowed. This Is picture OF what hap
pens in the ordinary course OF nature,
but there are also many cases Of prema-
ture loss of youthfulneSs that occur
fairly early in life.
In this category comes the beauty
problem Of the girl In her 20s<or early
3Os, who has facial wrinkles. The f1rst
wrinkles usually come under her eyes:

thesis lines about her mouth. Wrinkles
between the eyes and across the fore
head make her look years older than
she Is.
think am safe in saying there is
always some internal cause for facial
wrinkles in this age-group. 1t may be
eye-strain or nervousness or indigestion
or merely what I call "indoor-itis, .
which keeps a person below par, but
does not make her sick enough to &c
to bed and call the doctor. Sufferers
from this common malady lead seden-
tary lives, have their favorite brands OF
blood tonic" "nerye tonics" and ca
thartics and manage to exist for years
without ever knowing the thrill Of per-
feet health. OF course they age early
Sometimes a severe illness or period
of mental strain or worry causes prema-
ture wrinkles by depressing the general
health. Whatever the cause Of these
early signs of waning youth, it must
be removed before external treatments
are of much value.
Local applications Of oils, creams and
astringents are helpful in smoothing
out wrinkles Greasy substances tend
to make the skin more flexible, so that il
does not hold the creases so deeply. The
aStringents can tighten flabby skins

aids are applied stimulates the tissues

same thing happened for several holes,
until the patience of the players be-

whispered threats Of infiicting punish

earshot. One Of the golfers finally
called the aggravating youngster aside,

trembling with rage. 1--WE are playing q

balls into the ground we are unable
to play. Now, you're a big chap and
you understand, I'm sure"
This remark might as well have been
addressed to the flag on the green. for
all the effect 1t had on the boy.
The tolerant father then entered the
picture. Charlie" he said. "You must
not heel those balls. I'll make 1t

leave them alone. For every ball you

Immediately saw the mercenary side Of
the proposition. and not only ceased
annoying the players. but rushed to

his son according to contract in the
