Famous Beauty

With the arrival Of the first
really warm days the problem OF
perspiration presents itself for
practical consideration.
There are preparations in both
liquid and powder form for stop
ping perspiration. Many women
use them without bad effects.
Others find that stopping perspira-
ton in any part of the body makes
them extremely nervous. And in
some instances the practice has
caused eruptions and even more
serious results. IF You wish to
experiment with these prepare
tions-and you may be one of the
women who can use them satisfac-
torily-your druggist will be able
to tell you Of standard makes

will do well to wear clothing that

The Staffords have new baby,
their first born, and it's a boy.
Little Dickson Stafford, jr.,
doesn't know it, of course, but he
is a lucky child. No, he isn't a
millionaire baby. There's no i'm
mediate prospect of his inheriting
gold mine, an oil we'll, or other
source of wealth. His good for
tune lies in his parentage.
His father is a strong, healthy,
clean-cut man, with plenty of in
telligence and energy to provide
foI his family. These are enough
good qualities for any father to
have.
His mother is a handsome, SEN
sible young woman. She never had
the butterfly qualities that make
girls popular, but she's q wonder
ful woman to have for a mother.
Adelaide was well along in her
tWenties before she ever had a
sweetheart. And then she met
Dickson. 1t just so happened that
he had reached the age in life
when he wanted a wife. a home
and somebody TO call his own:
and that's why he loved Adelaide.

A three-year legal battle between
Maryland property owners and the
Washington.Suhur Sanitary Com
mission entered the final stage yes
terday when the case of Renee Noel
against the commission was docketed
in the United States Supreme Court.
The fight developed when the COM
mission levied an increased assess

The caAe involves thousands of
property owners in the sanitary dis
trict
The appellant alleges that the in
crease was made in 1925, when the
law under which the commission OPP
Grated provided that mo front foot
benefit charge, when once levied,
shall be increased" was changed by
the Maryland Legislature.
This clause Was stricken from the
statute and the commission irnme.
diately increased it's levy by approx.
mately one.third against all property
in the area which includes fringe
of nearby Maryland. extending from
Cabin John to District Heights.
The appeal to the United States
