MERCHANTS SCORE
JONES' PROPOSAL
Combat Abolition of Washington
Residence Provision for D. G.
Commissioners.

Opposition to legislation proposed by
Senator Jones Of Washington, which
would permit appointment of those
holding voting residence elsewhere to
the position of District Commissioner,
came today from the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association.
The association takes the position
that abolition of the existing residen-
tial requirement for Commissioners not
tute the last straw" in the deprivation
of rights of the half million local citi-
zenS to voice in their own govern
ment, 1t was declared by Mai. Gen.
Anton Stephan, president.
The association points out that
Washington now is deprived of repre-
sentation in Congress and that, in ad-
dition, the affairs of the municipality
largely are administered by ex-offcio
commissions. made up primarily OF
Federal officials.
The two civilian Commissioners of
the District, 1t was declared, are pri-
marily the two local officials appointed
by the President as representatives of
the citizenry of populous and grow
ing city. 1t is contended by the asso-
citation, Gen. Stephan states, that In
a city of half million population there
are men having bona f1de residence in
Washington capable of administering
the affairs of the District.
Rather than limiting the voice of
local residents in their government,
Gen. Stephan pointed out, the majority
Of the local citizens and the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association are
vigorously and hopefully urging adop-
ton of the joint resolution pending be-
fore Congress which would pave the
way for the placing of local repre-
Sentatives In both the House and SEN
ate, giving Washington national rep.

ON TRAINS NEARLY so YEARS.
CONDUCTOR TO TAKE REST TRIP
Thomas o. Taylor Completes
Service Which Has Carried
Him 5000, 900 Miles.
Veteran Railroad Man Ex-
poets to Visit West Coast
Upon Retirement.
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Thomas o. Taylor, the oldest Pull
man conductor in the United States,
who has travelled nearly 100000 miles
In AZ years, is going to take a vacation
to make q railroad trip to the West
Coast to see "how it feels to be a
passenger"
Mr.. Taylor. who resides at 1860
Columbia road, became eligible for re-
ttrement on January Z, when he cele-
brated his SEVENTEEN birthday, but he
expects to continue as Pullman con-
ductor on the Washington Buffalo run
until sometime in the Spring. when he
will travel as passenger on the trains
which. for AZ years, he has served in
an official capacity
Starting in 1888 as conductor on the
road between Pittsburgh and Oil City
he has witnessed many drastic changes
In the provisions made for the comforts
Of passengers, both in the equipment
OF the cars and routes of travel.
Knows Many NotabIes.
Mr.. Taylor has known and met
dozens of famous people in his long
years of service, and has experienced
practically all the thrills of railroad
mans life from wrecks to train rob-
berries. interviewer with the tragedies
which he has witnessed, have also been
comedies, and even some of the most
serious moments have afforded a
momentary laugh to those with a sense
of humor.
An incident of this sort was related
by Mr.. Taylor in recalling a famous
train robbery which occurred many
years ago some distance outside of
New Orleans.
Two robbers had forced their way
into the Pullman at the point of guns
explained the veteran train official.
"One was tall and thin, with a neck at
least two hands high. The other was
short and fat, and they we're a funny
looking couple. Forcing all the pas
sengers out of their berths, the two
robbers carried on conversation while
they stood up the people before them
Plan to Kiss Girls.
"Jim," said the tall. thin man, well
rob all the men and kiss all the girls. I"
III be damned If you do" replied
the little man, some of my woman
relations may be here"
On this occasion, Mr.. Taylor says he
saved the cash which he had collected
on the run" by throwing it up into
an upper berth when the robbers were
not looking.
Mr.. Taylor has met every President
since the administration OF President
Arthur, with the exception of Presi-
dent Harding.
He made numerous trips as conduc-
tor on the trains which were run espe-
cially for President Roosevelt. Recall
ing the democratic spirit of Roose-
welt, Taylor told of an amusing event
which occurred while the President was
on visit to Keokuk. Iowa. previous to

all means to be recommended.
By clean management is meant,
doing the things for the chicks that
should be done and at the time they
should be done. Procrastination has
wrecked many poultry farms. Know
what should be done then, do it.
By clean feeds is meant, providing
the chicks with a ration that is
properly balanced to meet the re-
quirements. The ingredients should
be of the best quality obtainable. Not
only should we know the analysis
of the feeds but it is also necessary
that the ingredients be palatable and
of known high quality.
The degree of success in raising
poultry depends entirely on how
nearly perfect these four links are
made on any farm or back lot where
chickens are raised. We may be per-
feet in any three, but the real sue
cess depends on the strength of the
weakest link.
Don't crowd the chicks. There are
two kinds of crowding-frst, not
having enough floor space for a Civ
en- number of chicks; second, too
many chicks together regardless Of
floor space. Allow a square foot OF
floor space for every three chicks.

DARE-DEVIL!
Dick Grace's Rare Talent For Cheat
ing Death Recorded in Films.

Dick Grace has captured the curl
osity of American. Films show his
work, popular magazines carry his
stories, and the radio will soon
broadcast his adventures. Grace is
a daredevil. His name is synOny-
nous with clever cunning at cheat
ing death by bare inch or two He
is mocker of fate; the sky is his
playground, a wrecked plane his
broken joy.
Where other men have excelled at
topping dizzy heights in the sky and
making their planes perform like
trained birds, Grace has done this,
and, in addition, has carved a unique
place in flying circles by the amazing
way in which he deliberately crashes
planes. To date, thirty-three ships
have been wrecked by him. OF the
two hundred bones in his body,
Grace has broken sixty-nine, includ-
ing his neck and back.
Almost every big air moving pic
ture bears the mark of his talent. In
"Wings", Lilac Time" "The Big
Hop, "The Air Circus, and, now,
in young Eagles" which will show
at the Capital Theatre, starting
for two days, the former
daredevil war ace has flown his
planes, flying in the face of chance.

shape desired. Most dealers in ce-
ment or concrete contractors can
assist gardeners in making pools, as
well as other garden features.
By adding only a little to the
work involved, a fountain can be
erected in the center of a pool to
serve the double purpose of keeping
the water fresh and adding to the
beauty of the layout. The simplest
kind of plumbing, involving only a
lead-in and drain, suffices.
Even simpler than a small lily
pool is a bird bath, yet few garden
fixtures provide as much pleasure
and amusement. Essentially, a bird
bath is merely a short pedestal sur
mounted by fiat bowl. While it is
possible to buy concrete bird baths
ready-made, it is a simple matter to
build one designed according to in
dividual tastes and to meet the needs
of any particular garden or lands

it is equally true that the material

LILY POOL ADDS
NEW BEAUTY TO
HOME GARDENS
Pools, Bird Baths, Benches And
Walks Accentuate Natural Attrac-
tiVeneSS.
By WYATT Brummitt


Accent and contrast are prime fac
tors in the layout of a satisfying
garden. While much can be gained
by the canny planning of flower beds
and borders, many gardeners make
good use of such garden features as
lily pools, bird baths, walks and oc-
casional benches.
The lily pool, particularly, has
been found to add much to the beau
ty and enjoyment of a garden. 1t
may be as simple as you please but,
small or large, it is certain to be-
come one of the most enjoyable gar
den features. Whether or not it is
utilized for lilies or other aquatic
flowers, it serves a definite garden
purpose in providing a strong con-
trast and, simultaneously, acting as
a bright mirror of the garden, trees
and sky.
In construction, garden pool is
simple enough for practically all
"handy men about the house." Port

with metal if the pool is to be a
sizeable one, is easily mixed and may
