One Of the landmarks Of
the Treasury Department is
JOHN KILEY, now assistant to
Secretary Mellon, who has been
guardian Of the personal af.
fairs Of the various presiding
geniuseS of Uncle Sans great
financial institution for more
than a quarter of a century.
To the newspaper men and
others whose duties call them
to Mr.. Melons office, the
Treasury would not seem the
same without Mr.. Kiley sitting
at the desk in the spacious
room in the southwest corner
Of the building. He knows all
Of the official and personal
secrets Of the many eminent
men who have guided the fl
nancial deStinies Of the nation
since the days Of Franklin Mac
Veagh.
While he knows all these
secrets, he does not tell any
Of them, as scores of Washing
tonians are willing to testify.
In fact. Mr.. Kiley is one of
the most completely non-com-
initial men to be found in the
Capital. and he glorieS in the
feet.

Of COURT
TRIED, FREED

Patrick J. Haltigan, IT,, the
popular clerk of Traffic Court. is
always pleased when he is able to
write dismissed" on the papers
charging traffic violations, but
he was more SO than ever yester-
day. The charge was against him
self.
Judge Isaac r. Hit dismissed
the accusation of travelling at an
unreasonable rate of speed" after
Pat denied his guilt. The testi-
many Of the three officers showed
clearly that there was no traffic
at the time Of the arrest on the
million dollar bridge at 1875
this morning.
Albert Stern, who represented
HalEgan, amused the court with
his clever croSS-examination and
ended by calling one Of the
policemen as a character witness
for the defendant.

AUTO LIABILITY LAW IS URGED FOR DISTRICT
DISTRICT BOARD
STUDIES new
PROPOSALS

With the adoption Of the new
regulation which requires all taxi
cab owners either to show
financial responsibility or furnish
. bond signed by some responsible
surety. . new move is being con-
Sidered to extend the law to cover
privately owned machines.
This was learned at the District
Building today where it Is under
stood the District Commissioners
are studying q number Of plans
put forward by the office Of the
Corporation Counsel, the Director
OF Traffic and other local
agencies.
tits definitely known that both
Director william II. Harland and
Corporation Counsel william w.
Bride favor an amendment Of the
District laws, or rather q new law
which win require all motorists to
show they have covered their
cars with insurance before grant
ing them tags.
The Commissioners on several
occasions in the past turned down
all suggestions in this matter,
but now that the utilities COM
mission has acted it is under
stood that the subject is being
given careful considerati' by the
Board Of Commissioners.
just what form win be followed
Is not known at this time, but
1t Is believed that a plan some
what similar to that put into
effect by the utilities commits
sion to govern taxicab; win be
followed by the city heads.

Big Taxicab Operators
Agree to Meet Rates
On Accident. Iiiability

All Of the large taxicab COM
panies operating in the District,
i1cluding the Black and White,
the Yellow, and Diamond taxicab
companies have agreed to meet
the requirements. Of the Public
Utilities Commission In regard to
liability insurance, 1t was learned
yesterday.
The commission some weeks
ago put into effect an order
which requires all persons who
own cabs doing public business
to show financial responsibility.
that is to say to produce evidence
that they can settle any claim
for damage filed against them.
In the event that the operator
has nothing which can be reached
through civil action then bond
Is required to cover any property
damage Of injury in which he
may be responsible.
It was at first believed that
the new ruling would meet with
the opposition Of many operators,
but so far the commission indi-
Gated yesterday, no complaint has
been lodged with that body from
any course.
The larger companies have
come forward and made show.
ing Of their financial responsi.
bility 1t Is said and win probably
be certified by the commission
within q few days.
Tests are being made on Six

Science and Cre1luItty

1NASAANS
 All persons are credulous even the most learned.
 One of the greatest of the Amer ican philosophers recently wrote ar endorsing introduction to a book published by zealot who believed tEat he had "cure-all' in a par- ticular system of breathing.
 Credulity-"the disposition to be- lieve on slight evidence'--is an es- sential and valuable part of hu- man nature, but credulity has two phases, constructive one and a destructive one.
 I may be credulou in believing something that is beyond my un- derstanding for example, I may believe that some day television may become a practical achieve- ment.
 Such credulity is the basis of much scientific speculation, and often leads to great results.
 But there is a credulity which run contrary to understanding, and contrary D esta blished scientific facts.
 Thus, I may be credulous enough to believe that horse-chestnut in t"e pocket will protect me against rheumatism, CT guard me against lightning. Such credulity is de- r;ructive.
 We are surrounded by many so- called scientific miracles that it is difficult to differentiate these from the false miracles of the charlatan.
 But for that there is authority.
 The intelligent person does not take it upon himself to determine the legality of a contract he enters into He corsults his lawyer.
 And the intelligent person con- suits his physician when his advice is needed.

fiail Biting By Alice Judson Peale

Nail biting is a habit which is usually found in highly nervous, fidgety, irritable children.
 For this reason the physical mea- sures which are sometimes used to cure thumb sucking are especially inadvisnble.
 They tend only to aggravate the nervousness of which nail biting Is symptom.
 In curing a child of nail biting it is necessary to consider carefully his entire regime.
 The child's general health should be studied by physician. and faults in diet, elimination and gen. eral routine corrected.
 He should be encouraged to lead an active out of door play life. He should have plenty of rest and exercise and a sane, daily schedule as free as possible from unpleas- ant friction.
 Emotional difficulties such as jealousy and feelings of inferiority contribute to the state of mind which augments the difficulty. It |, therefore necessary for a mother to understand her child and as far as possible to relieve him of emo- tional burdens.
 Rewards. judiciously used, are helpful. Don'ts and punishments get nowhere. In fact they tend to in crease the trouble since they make the child more unhappy and more nervous than he already Is.
 All negative appeals such as making him feel ashamed and con- pairing him to brother or sister who does not have this particular fault are to be avoided. Doctors to whom cases of chronic nail biting have been brought for cure have found 1t most helpful to win the child's cooperation and to enlist his pride.
 Doctors suggest to mothers that they show m interest Tn their cbild's appearance and help by manicuring his fingernails, per haps promising the gift of mani-

It was an involuntary ex- clamation, born of surprise and the regret any flower lover feels at sec ing crushed blossom. for I really cared no whit for the flowers. But Dicky's face darkened.

 Buster turned and looked around. T guess it isn't necessary to dis cuss that" said he. Tt looks to me as if there would be nuts enough to go around. Did you get your fath- CTS thrsfty habits with that black ccat?"

Buster Bear looked long and hard at Impy the black Chipmunk. Then very slowly he began to grin. The . grin grew. Presently it became a : chuckle. Don't be afraid, young fellow" said he, 'I'm not going to
 hurt you. I'm very fond of Chip

 "Yes, sir No, Sir" replied Impy, answering both questions at once. What do you mean by yes, sir;
 no, sir?'" inquired Buster , T mean I think that some of us
 could get some of these nuts in

 Even though Dicky's anger was not directed against me but had Philip Veritzen as an object, l felt it the part of discretion to snatch at some other subject of conversa- ton.
 How wonderful of you to cut in, Dicky," I said. How did you ever manage it? The youngsters have "a stag line, but we oldsters haven't. I thought we all would have to stay where we were until the music changed"
 And I'm here to say that would have been a blamed long time for me to see old Phil buzzing you" he retorted. Besides, I was getting fairly we'll fed up with Milady Erik ton. She's a fine old gal and all that, but there are better dancers and wittier takers right in this ;room-I might say in this corner of the room"
 But you haven't told me how
 Got away?' Dicky finished with 8 grin. Take a look around you, dearie. Do you see who's dancing with Milady Brixton?'
 l looked across the room and saw a pretty sight-Ronalds dark head above his mothers gray one, as he whirled her around in the dance.
 Ronald had lost Marion for the minute" he said. "and I guess he was bit tired of having to stage a heavyweight bout every time he cut in on her. Besides, he's devoted to his mother, and, l fancy, really wanted to dance with her. And, though l protested for courtesy's sake I didn't kick the lad in the face or bite his ear off when l handed the lady over"
 "Dicky. you're awful" I chided banally, but happily.
 Now. you know you don't mean word of that he retorted. You're really ticked to death that I wanted to shelve Helena and grab you away from that old buzzard. Aren'. you? Say it."
 His voice was imperative, but it held a note which thrilled me. and l said what he wished with empha- sis, was rewarded by having him sweep me close to him in a clasp which no chaperon on the floor would have tolerated in one of her charges.

Often you can rejuvenate a lamp shade considerably by re-golding the top and bottom line of it.
 Gold paint comes inexpensively and often a small brush comes with it. If your lampshade happens to be the kind that has gold or gaily col ored binding top and bottom that Is worn off in spots, you can pur- chase this binding at art depart ments. It is simple to put on and gives a finished look to your shade that is gratifying.
