Jimmy is an only child. an only
nephew and an only grandchild. which
makes a good many things in the fol-
lowing story explicable. Jimmy is 10
and pretty sweet, though spoiled. He
Ia used to having whatever he says and
does relayed 10 Grandma and Auntie
and commented on In his presence. He
doesn't always pretend to notice 1t, but
he has come to the knowledge that
what he says Is of moment, In tact, al
most oracular.
Jimmy isn't the easiest child to get
along with. He has high-hanued
way of grabbing the best toys and hold
Ing on to them and the boy next door
plays with him only internationally.
Jimmy said this morning to Joe"
mother telephones 10 Grandma. He
told Joe that he didn't want him TO
come over any more. because, when
ever he did. ne got too damned mad.
OF course, 1t was terrible, but 1t sounded
too funny Mothers manner shrieks
that ii wasn't terrible, and Jimmy, who
is upstairs, misses none OF this I'M
plication.
Damn" heretofore word Of which
he has not been self-conscious. because
1t meant very little TO him, now becomes
q method by which he stimulates at
tention. He uses 1t on every possible
occasion and adds some more "cuss'
words to his collection.
Uncle Frank. who thinks Jimmy
regular he-boy, anyway. almost goes
into commissions when Jimmy tries out
his vocabulary on him, and even goes
To the lengths OF teasing Jimmy so
he'll get mad enough 10 swear. The
whole family is having a lot OF fun
over it.
All OF which, at the present moment,
doesn't lead much OF anywhere. Jimmy
is lust In the process OF being spoiled.

in their careers and the wise parent

ton, the more horror or amusement

or You awful, awful hoy, using such
language, let me wipe your mouth out

think themselves quite the pumpkins.
Few boys mind being called bad, In
fact they'd rather be called bad than
10 unnoticed, and certainly all OF them
will prance IN the limelight II they
think they are considered cute. We
wonder that families don't sense that
such methods are the most successful
they can possibly employ In making

Discovery of the First Gray Hairs
~ LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

A we'll known hair dresser said re-
Gently that II he could but capitalise
the energy In the tips Of his fingers ne
could ar1ass a fortune With that alone,
While he spoke he was gently runping
the finger tips Of each hand with the
thumbs. II was very expressive.
The theory Is that the pigments CIV
lna color to the hair, come from the
body and are carried from the roots
down through each tiniest strand Oh
hair, II there Ii not enough circulation
about the roots the movement gets
sluggish. the color moves slowly or not
at all and then the activity ceases. the
color is gone. This Is theory pro-
pounded by those who have mace q
study of the hair and Its treatment
from scientific and medical stand
point ...
keepiuC the hair from losing it's color
is gently to massage the scalp with the
finger tips. This should be done at
least once a day One woman whom
I know we'll was disturbed about her
hair getting gray. 1t was also coming
out some. She had been told that II she
rubbed her scalp for 10 minutes a day
with the finger tips kept cold by con-
stantly dipping them In very cold water,
that this would stop the hair from fall
Ing out. So she did this Systematically,
and her account of what happened is
interesting.
The treatment proved beneficial In
more than this one way. About eight
weeks after'she began the massage cure
her daughters said Mother. your hair
is getting darker. There aren't any
gray hairs to be seen" The mother
was rather amused thinking her daugh-
ters knew just how to say the right
things. But little later she. too. be-
came aware that her hair actually was
resuming its even natural color.
She couldn't understand how this
had happened. until the excellent hair
dresser told her about the benefit of the
finger-tip massage. When she heard
this she realized that she had been
giving her scalp Just that very treat
ment. The truth of the theory was
proven TO the woman's satisfaction. AS
I know Of the incident being true. It
occurred 10 me that you might like to
hear 1t. and try 1t out for yourselves.
whenever the time came that you dis
covered the lone gray hair.

Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July Is, 177s.--The residents OF
Georgetown and nearby portions of Viz
ginia have special interest in the
movements of troops raised in this Sec
ton and other parts of Frederick Coun-
ty, Md, to Join the Continental Army
before Boston. According to the post
received here several days ago, the COM
pany OF Frederick County Rif1emen,
commanded by Capt, Michael Cresap,
expected to leave Frederick Town TO-
day and march all the way to Cam
bridge, in Massachusetts. The other
company under the command of Capt.
Thomas Price. is either on the way or
will soon start.
Capt Cresap Is a frontiersman, and
like his father. has hunted and fought
Indians through the unbroken wilder
ness of western Maryland. which Is the
gateway to the vast valley of the Ohio
River. In this borderland Cresap has
spent his whole life, With him many
other hardy frontiersnen have Joined
the MARYLAND troops from this county
to fight against England.
From one who saw them recently it
Is learned that they are dressed in their
typical frontier garb of deerskin. moe
casins and coonskin caps. with their
long rifles swung over their shoulders.
They certainly are about as far away
as It Is possible to be, in appearance,
from the handsomely uniformed red
coats OF King George or any OF the
other riionarchs OF Europe. Yet reports
say they can give very good account
OF themselves in fight.
The march which Capt. Cresap's
famous company sets out on today is
to be $50 miles long. The men expect
to swing right along at good pace
and by making short cuts to arrive at
Cambridge about the end of the first
week In August. At last reports the
company comprised $50 men.
They are painted like Indians. &C
cording to the custom Of most of the
frontier white fighters. In addition to
their rifles they carry tomahawks,
An eyewitness at Frederick declares
that they are truly remarkable men,
since some of them had travelled near
800 miles on foot from the banks of
the Ohio River to get there and join
the army. and they still seemed to
walk light and easy"
They need nothing" this eyewitness
says. except water from the spring,
with q little parched corn, with what
they easily procure In hunting"

The Survival of the wittiest.

The survival OF the fittest in the
struggle for existence is one of the
fundamental principles OF heredity. 1t
he's been applied to the theory of evolu-
ton. There 1t takes on a cruel sense
that Ia naturally repugnant TO con-
science. But my dislike for this idea
Is inspired by the blind. fatalistic,
almost superstitious suggestion 1t con-
veys. that man is powerless to do any
thing about it, though maybe his
grandparents might have given him a
better chance had they been better
ancestors. II that is part OF evolution I
don't believe In II.
/ am an optimist, It seems plausible
enough to me that the survival of the
fittast played great part In evolution,
but do not believe II is a factor OF
any great Importance now. Can any
one point out an instance Of the work
ing Of this principle In the advance of
civilization. or even In the ethnology
OF savage races? Historians glibly ex-
plain that the fall OF ancient civiii2a-
tons came about through decadence of
the nations or tribes, but other savants

.TILSON IS IN FAVOR
OF SPECIAL SESSION
G. o. P. House Leader Believes
Tariff Should Be Principal
Object of Legislation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Tilson of Connecticut
! Republican leader in the House, has
come out for special session of Con-
gress, but he thinks that tariff revision
is the principal subject to be considered
at it.
In a statement issued yesterday he
declared that he believed that farm
relief legislation can be passed at the
approaching short session and that If
an extra session was to be called 1t
should be done soon after March 4.
He said that his views were that the
ways and means committee should meet
after March and prepare a tariff bill,
so that when the proposed new Con-
gress meets it would find its work
facilitated.
Pre-Congress discussion of a special
session was augmented today with ar
rival of Representative Hawley OF Ore
gon, chairman of the ways and means
committee. who expressed his beliet
that tariff revision could be accom-
plished during the coming year.
Before conferring with his colleagues
on the ways and means committee, Mr.
Hawley was unwilling to say whether
in his opinion special session would
be necessary.
Whatever changes are made in the
tariff. Hawley said, should be made
along scientific lines SO that revisions
in schedules could be made up or down
when necessary without going over the
whole tariff structure.
The task Of revising the tariff would
be made comparatively easy, he said,

we're robbed and kidnapped on the night
Of November IA, from their places of

ROBERTS RET|RES
FROM TRANSIT WAR
Last Fight Against Merger
as Federation Aide
Is Announced.

William A. Roberts, who with William
Nick. Clayton championed the inter-
eSts of the Federation of Citizens As
sociat1ons in all public utility matters
for the last year, announced today that
he has made his last fight against the
transit companies plan of merger un-
less some individual civic organization
asks him to carry on.
Roberts can no longer represent the
federation in its public utility battles,
since he has been removed as a men,
Der and vice chairman of the utilities
committee of that organization. The
impression had gone around in the
ranks of organized citizenship, however,
that he planned to go before the COM
mltteeS of CongreSssat the coming ses-
sion and continue his war on the pend
ing unification agreement To counter
act this. Roberts issued the following
statement:
'It is not my intention to press any
ideas that may have with respect to
the merger. The responsibility of repre-
senting the Federation of Citizens AS
sociationS in public utility matters is in
other hands. OF course, my services and
whatever information I may possess are
entirely at the disposal of the congress
stonal committees and of the officers of
the federation to whatever extent thev
may desire"
