cause of nail-biting. Be sure that
you have sufficient sleep and rest. A girl

Notice the well groomed, beautiful hands
of other girls and women and perhaps

used regularly. Two tablespoonful
peroxide. one tablespoonful ammonia,
two tablespoonfuls lemon juice, one
teaspoonful tartaric acid and two
quarts of water. Apply the rinse evenly

To encourage the natural wave in
your hair steam the hair two or three
times week and with a comb and
your fingers arrange the wave in place

hairdresser. I do not advise a perma-

to coil at the back, arrange it in two
coils. Or tie the back hair together.

Both men were pedestrians, and Mr.
link claims that Mr.. Click ran into
him on the corner of F and Thirteenth

crashed together. Mr.. link was struck
on the right side and his hat and
watch were broken by the impact. He
was compelled to seek hat store. and,
during the walk, sustained cold which
caused him to loose three months

and states that he was moving at a slow

Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

October "a, 1S62.-At Camp Barker,
the name given to what might more
properly be called the contraband asy-
lum and hospital, there are at present
675 colored persons. OF this number
about 100 are in the hospital and the
others are women, children and old
men. Camp Barker is located near the
corner Of Twelfth and Q streets on the
ground formerly occupied by Coltman's
brick kilns and st. Johns burial ground.
The buildings are mostly the same as
were used by the Mcclellan Dragons
as barracks, but several additions have
been made since the arrival of the con-
trabands. The Office and dwelling of
the superintendent, DR.. D. B. Nichols,
is in the center on the east side. The
laboratory is in charge Of the surgeon,
Dr. Amos Pettijohn.
The barracks on the south side have
been mostly fitted up by the families
living in them, many of the contrabands
having purchased stoves for cooking
purposes and to provide heat during the
coming Winter. Most of the men and
women in the barracks are industrious.
The women are spending much of the
time sewing for the newcomers and
making clothing for the men. The
are not so large and are used by smaller
families. The west side is vacant, but
will soon be closed up by another row
of quarters.
On the extreme right of the north
row of buildings is the orphan asylum,
which has been fitted up recently I'M
der the direction of Misses Patton and
Dorsey. This is the neatest part o. the
camp At present there are dozen
infants there under the care of ma
iron.
All the able-bodied contrabands who
have come to this city are now being
made use of by the Government, or
are hiring themselves out to families of
the city or vicinity. Many of the men
are being used by the Government as
teamsters, or are helping at the local
soldiers hospitals. Several hundred Of
the women are working as servants in
the city. Those who are employed by
the Government draw rations and
clothing, while those who are sick and
in the hospital or otherwise unable to
work are furnished with rations only,
having to rely on charity for their cloth
ing.
+ Large boxes of cast-of clothing from
the Northern States arrive nearly every
week for the contrabands. The Ma
tional Freedman's Relief Association OF
this city takes charge of distributing
this clothing and supervises the making
of garments from material that is do
mated. Since DR.. Nichols took charge
last June, about $500 contrabands have
been registered at the camp.

Everyday Psychology

Peeves.

Prof. Carson of the University of
Rochester has been gathering data for
years on peeves. AS result of his la
Dor it Is possible to say quite accurately
what the common peeves are, and how
much they peeve the average person.
Prof. Carson has constructed an arbi-
trary measuring scale for list of 507
peeves. The scale ranges from o to 80.
Below is list of common peeves, with
the values he assigns to them. The
higher the value, the more annoying
the peeve: Cruelty to animals, %;
cruelty to children, %; hair in your
food, rs; youthful disrespect for older
people, 26; intoxicated women, 26: flies;

R.F G. writes complaining that the
Washington motorists should have some
rights in the streets. He says: In
nearly every instance We hear about
the rights of the pedestrian, but did
1t ever occur to you that the motorist
operating his machine must not only
look where he is going, but steer and
operate his clutch and brake as well,
while the walker has nothing to do
but watch his step? Why not word
for the harassed driver?"
There is less "baloney' in these re-
marks than one might suppose. If
the motorists present a united front
in an effort to make the pedestrian
watch his step, the following may be
seen in the future.
