Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

July l, 1S58.-The mayor, in accord
ance with the authority vested in him
by recent act of the City Council, has
fixed upon the following Summer uni
form for the police:
Chief of police and captain Of the
guard-White hat with black band
and letters c. of P. and C. Of g.; Rus
STA duck coat and pants, gold straps on
shoulders. yellow metal buttons on coat
with p. G. on face.
LieutenantS of police-White straw
hat, with black band on which shall be
printed Lieutenant of Police, No. l and
No. 2; coat, pants and vest OF Russia
duck. with yellow metal buttons, on
which shall be engraved the letters L.
P, and gold band on left shoulder.
Policemen-Sack coat of Russia duck,
pants of same material and light vest,
the button on the coat and vest to be
of the same as those worn on the VIM
ter uniforms; dark Summer hat with
broad black band and the same kind of
wreath as on the Winter cap.
The auxiliary guard shall have the
letters A. G.. and their respective num-
bers within wreath of yellow metal on
the front of their hats, and the letters
A. @. on the face of the buttons worn
on the coat In all other respects the
uniform shall be the same as that worn
by the day police.
Citizens Of the second ward during
the hot weather this Summer have been
suffering greatly from want of sufi-
cient supply of water. At times it has
been distressing to see aged females
and children Juggling buckets Of water
several squares, when they have been
unable to procure any water from the
hydrants in their neighborhood.
The Commissioner and the citizens
suspected that the pipe had been tapped
and the water diverted to particular
houses. The Commissioner went in
search and succeeded in finding several
such instances.
They were at once cut of and the
general supply was then expected to in
crease, but unfortunately several pumps
had been damaged, and, therefore, the
supply was not as plentiful as 1t might
be. It is the desire of the Commissioner
to furnish a suficient supply and, no
doubt, measures will be taken to remedy
the evil Immediately.

dered after the original speaker had
finished talking
He has no desire to return to the
old system. 1t is true that being
forced to work simultaneously with the
speaker taxes the interpreters mental
powers to the utmost, but the time
saved makes up for it.
"The interpreter has little time to
get bored under the new system" says
Cohen. "That is more than can be
said of the old"
1t certainly means something when
the President of the United States
asks where there is good fishing hole
When he expresses desire to try
one out it becomes matter Of vital
concern and the signal for much ac-
tivity on the part OF large number OF
people.
Think of what happened when
President Hoover declared he would
like to try his luck In certain streams
in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Vir-
| ginia and Maryland.
First, road survey had to be made
to determine whether the presidential
party could reach the two camps in
comfort
It was found that the Maryland To-
cation could be reached without much
ui1uCuiIy, OuI Tie virginia camp was
different story. Nothing but horse
or log wagon ever had been able to
reach the site selected. No White
House car would attempt so rough and
rocky a road.
1t required the combined efforts of a
large force of the Virginia State Road
Commission and the 1st Regiment of the
United States Marines to make it pass
able for the cars of the official guests.
But the greatest difficulty came in
the installation of electric light and
telephone service.
Again the Maryland camp was pro-
vided with those facilities. but the Vir-
ginia location proved knotty problem.
In establishing telephone service it
was necessary to rebuild and strengthen
an existing pole line for distance of
about Is miles From Madison to the

an old felt hat at home. There was an
inexpensive straw shape as founda-
ton and over it had been used clit-out
portions from felt hat that exactly
matched the straw The top Of the
crown of the felt hat had been cut away
to reveal the straw, the side of the
crown cut in regular zigzag outline was
used over the straw the brim of the
straw was ornamented with cut-out
diamond-shaped pieces of the felt
placed at regular intervals. So If you
have an old felt shape for which you
have no further use, why not have it
cleaned and then use it in this way
in combination with straw founda-
ton chosen to match?
While the hat that fits down well
at the sides of the head-often provided
with actual ear laps-is still seen among
new models, many hats of the newer
sort show a tendency to flare away
outward over the ears. Often the
brim is turned sharply up off the face
at front in such a way that the sides
flare outward over the ears. Some
times the brim is turned sharply UP at
front or cut away. while it is allowed
to come down over the ear at one side
and to fare upward off the ear at the
other

the ceiling. Twist your neck so that
your chin points to one corner of the
ceiling. Twist in the opposition direc-
ton and point with the chin to an
other corner. Throw your head back
over one shoulder and point to the
corner behind with your chin. Throw
your head back over the other shoul-
der and point UP with the chin. Re-
peat several times but do not do them
too often at first or you will have a
stiff neck. For another exercise, lie
face down on the floor or on bed.
Raise head and shoulders upward and
backward. Turn the head to the left
and to the right in this position. Relax
and repeat. Rotation of the head on
the neck is another good exercise.
The next massage and astringent
application may form one treatment.
First cleanse the skin well, dry and
pat on a massage cream. Throw the
head back and massage with a long
stroking movement from the center cf
the chin up to the ears 10 times on
each side. Place the thumb under the
chin and the fingers above. Give a
plucking massage all along under the
jaw, lifting the flesh with the thumb
and letting it snap back. The move
ment is a gentle but firm pinching.
For third movement stroke vertically
upward on the neck from collarbone up
over the lower jaw. Wipe of the mas
sage cream.
The next step is to bathe the threat
in a pint of hot water in which two
tablespoonfuls of EPSON salts have
been dissolved Make several hot ap-
plications. Now bathe the neck in a
very cold EPSON salts solution of the
same strength. Use ice water if pos
sible. Battle several times. Now alter
nate the hot and cold applications
three or four times, finishing with six
or eight cold ones. Dry the skin and
rub in a little cold cream or softening
skin lotion.
