Shake.Up Sensed
While Pratt refuses to discuss the
matter and answers all questions
with the reply that the present
policies of the department will be
carried out, veteran policemen sense
an impending general shake-up.
This will not come, however, they
believe, until Pratt has taken over
the reins of the department and is
firmly seated in the chair of major
and superintendent.
Reports that Pratt would reveal
plans for his administration at the
banquet tonight were denied by the
new chief. He said he would not
attempt to draw any part Of the
spotlight from Hesse.
Pratt has indicated that he will
make an intensive drive to dry up
Washington during his administra-
ton. Shortly after learning of his
appointment Pratt declared that he
felt every member of the force
should be conferred with Federal
authority to enforce the prohibition
laws.

II it is Pratt's intention to make
Washington dry he can pick up

Tongues used to glib discourse about millions were touched with ave at men, tion of this appalling sum-ons mans possession.
 Of course, taxes and public works, friends and relatives, received bequests that made some inroads into Payne Whitney's millions. But his three in- fant grandchildren, becoming the eventual major heirs, will be, undoubt- edly, the richest young persons by in- heritancc in the world, if the present rate of increasing value of the estate continues.
 Meanwhile Daniel, Sandra and Payne Whitney accompany their nursemaids into the park on bright days, cry over bumped heads and reach out chubby hands for the gilt tering brightness of the world, all un- knowing that vast sums are at work for them night and day, rolling in more dollars, adding new digits to their already fantastic bank balance.

 Most persons probably would con. sider the Payson children singularly blessed-a few might call them handi. capped by the event which cannot help coloring their whole lives. That event was wealth, no ordinary fortune that might be bequeathed to scions of rich families in prosperous country, but wealth 50 vast that it assumes the pro portions of drama.
 For Payne Whitney's almost incred. ible estate of $194,328,514 was news that broke upon, Manhattan's blase ii. nancial hub with . shock of headlines.

 The effect of 70 prodigieus n amount of money on the three chil. dren, as yet blisHully unawars of it, is problematical. After all, millions cease to have much meaning in peoples lives after they pass the ten CT twelve-million mark.

Caloric Bookkeeping.

many calories she has to lose, rather
than pounds. Briefly it is this:
o. She weighs 140 pounds and wants to
lose 80, as her normal weight is but 40.
Thirty pounds of fat at 1000 calories
a pound totals 100, 900. so she is harbor-
ing 10000 Galleries more than she
should. Every day she deducts the
number she takes less than her mainte-
nance diet (Which she counts as 10000

have to supply that. When she takes

He cleverly invited Charlier to be one
of his guests, and, after he had arrived
sent a note in Charters name to the
latter's clerk, telling him to send up
goodly supplies of his choicest yintages.
Holloway, a lawyer to whom the
playwright owed a huge sum, rode up
TO him one day as he was walking near

launched into bitter reproaches. When
he ceased, Sheridan said What a

The lawyer was mad about horse

Sheridan looked businesslike, with
the air of buyer.

take the trouble to give it the. proper
care.
Regular oil treatments are very inn
portant to the beauty of the hair. Castor
oil or olive oil may be used. The day
before your. shampoo apply the oil to
hair and scalp at bedtime; tie up your
head and leave the oil on overnight.
Next day have thorough shampoo.
Begin 1t by applying hot towels TO your
hair five or six times to make 1t
easier to get the unabsoroed oil off
Now wash with plenty Of shampoo liquid,
giving the scalp vigorous massage
while working up the lather. Lather
and rinse three or four times.
It is difficult to rinse the hair thor
oughly without the aid of bath
spray, so that every girl who washes
her hair at home should have such a
spray. Vinegar may be used in the
final rinse to soften the hair and make
the waves looser. 1t also brings out the
reddish lights in the hair. Use two
tablespoonfuls of cider vinegar in a
glassful of water from the cold-water
faucet. Pour this mixture over the
hair after all the soap has been rinsed
on; leave for four or five minutes, and
then rinse off In clear water.
Before the hair is dry the waves
must be set. Some types of permanents
can be pushed into even waves with
but little effort; others must be finger
waved with the aid OF curling fluid
Lotions Of this sort are made with a
base of ounce seed, gum tragacanth
naXseed or other similar substances
Here is simple recipe that has been
published here before: Boil one table
spoonful of flaxseed in a pint of water
until the liquid is reduced to half
Strain and add / Il ounces of bay rum
