Urging the early approval of the pro-
posed airport, Mr.. Everett declared:
IT cannot deplore too greatly the
present lack of an airport in this city.
1t is one of the crying needs of the
community. If provisions are not made
during the next regular session of Con-

national disgrace, and recommend that
| the Board of Trade continue its active
and vigorous work for this project"

five-year budget plan for the District,
and commended the action of the Dis
| trict auditor, Daniel ]. Donovan, in

tinue its efforts seeking q permanent
and equitable fiscal relation between the
local and Federal governments.

LONDON, April 11.--A. L. Nicholson
the London art dealer who sold an al
legged Romney portrait OF the Duchess Of
Sutherland, has written to the London
ing to an X-ray test. It had been sug-
gested that such test of the pigments
would reveal whether the portrait was
genuine, as Mr.. Nicholson believes, or
only a copy, as is claimed by the Duke
of Sutherland.
Mr.. Nicholson explained that the
X-rays might damage the colors on the
canvas. He also declared that he had
little confidence in such a mechanical
ratification of masterpiece.
The dealer, who has offered to refund
the money he received for the portrait,
still believes that If the Duke of Suther-
land would consent to the showing of

RELIEF FROM CURSE
OF CONSTIPATION

A Battle Greek physician says,
Constipation is responsible for more
misery than any other cause"
But immediate relief has been
found. A tablet called Rexall
Orderlies has been discovered. This
tablet attracts water from the system
into the lazy, dry, evacuating bowel
called the colon. The water loosens
the dry food waste and causes
gentle, thorough, natural movement
without forming habit or ever
increasing the dose.
