July 3, 1s64.-Mayor Richard wsIIach

the too free use OF water from the
aqueduct in ,sprinkling the streets of

Capt. Seymour refers to recent

he said that the supply of water from

not only be sprinkled, but they could
be "showered' three or four times
every day by means of private street
water plugs or carts.

Seymour in his latest communication,
was predicated upon the supposition

enable us to draw from the Potomac

became exhausted.
"Inasmuch as Congress has stricken
out the appropriation reported for the
aqueduct in the miscellaneous apnro-
priation bill, 1t becomes my duty now
to inform you that 1t Will be necessary

Our friends expect US to write to
them when we are away on holidays
whether we spend two weeks at the
shore or in the mountains or three
months travelling abroad.
And one Of the most difficult things
to do when we are travelling seems to
be to write letters
The reason, probably, is that we 50
seldom carry proper letter writing
equipment when we go away. We carry
everything else, from flat-irons to cleo
trio pads, to make our journeyings COM

erly fitted writing outfit
Such an outfit consists. primarily, Of
case OF some sort to hold writing pa
per, stamps, blotter. envelopes and pen.
If you use fountain pen, the matter
Is sAnplified. If you don't, you must
have with you some sort OF inkwell that
won't tip over or spill. There are such
tnkwells. and they are we'll worth while
If you don't use fountain pen.
II you use a fountain pen, your little
travelling desk may be smaller, therefore
easier to carry. There are some as small
as handbags, fitted with packets for
paper and envelopes and little loops to
hold the fountain pen securely in place.
II you have travelling color, you can

Students Out of Operating Room.

There was recently dedicated in Paris
q hospital pavilion for the treatment
OF the Threats and noses of children,
which is said to be the most complete
of the kind. An ingenious organization
permits 20 physicians to work at the
same time and to give treatment to pa
tients, who, every morning, at the usual
time, present themselves to the num-
Der Of $50 to 200. The two operating
rooms may be completely sterilized and
are reserved solely for the operator and
his aides. for The students are in a
special room.
Their view of surgical interventions
Is obtained from the interior of q glass
cupola, which resembles in appearance
the capot, or sighting hood, OF a SUBJ
marine. A loud speaker serves as the
connecting link between the operator
and the students. Throughout the
pavilion, moreover, there are many such
loud speakers, by means of which the
arrival Of physicians is announced and
word is conveyed to physicians If they

Acquiring a Coat of Tan.

Dear Miss Lesds-I am trying to ac-
quire a sun-tanned skin and would
lie to know of something I could put
on my skin which would help 1t 10 tan.
A FRIEND OF old SOL"
Answer-A dark. even coat Of tan is
much sought after by many young
women. The precaution which must be
taken, however, is not to acquire this
too quickly or the skin will become badly
burned and ugly in appearance as well
as painful. For the first two or three
days do not expose yourself to the direct
rays of the sun for more than 20 min
utes: the length of time may be grad
ually increased after that If you you
will rub the rkin with cocoa butter you
will find that this keeps the skin from
becoming dry or irritated and also helps
you gain that deep coat of tan admired
b" so many. Many young women at
Southern resorts go TO the beach TAX
ing with them a stick OF cocoa butter
which they rub on the exposed parts of
the body from time to time. After sew
eral days of this kind of treatment
they have a lovely coat of deep, shiny
tan. There is nothing more health
giving than the direct rays Of the sun.
so I'm glad you're eager to take advan-
tage Of them. LOIS LEEDS.

Dear Miss Leeds-Wul you please help
me? I have a very difhcult problem
and can't seem to solve 1t.
Cd 1t seems that every time I apply
powder to my face my nose pores look
white and clogged. Can you tell me the
reason for this? have a normal skin
and no enlarged pores. Dou you think
my powder can be too heavy I thought
that might be the case, but found that
a lighter powder did not help.

Can 1t be used as often as desired with
out harmful effects?

Answer-The condition you describe
merely indicates that the tiny pores
or sweat glands are giving off secretions
and these, Of course, mix with the pow
der, making. each pore noticeable. After
cleansing the face always apply an as

IN VITAL ELEMENTS
Scientist Says Tests Show Vege-
table Mineral Salts Vary Greatly
in U. S. Products.

The percentage of various mineral
salts in vegetables that grow in diff
ferent parts of the United States vary
greatly in amount, with presumably
relatively parallel value as health foods,
according to long series Of tests made
by DR.. William Weston of Column
bia, S. c.
1t is agreed by food experts that GER
tain percentages of known mineral ele-
mentS are important in foods. Even
in small percentages some Of these
elements are as necessary to human
health as the food materials themselves
Some Of these elements are important
in formink the blood, some are neces-
Sary for the process known as bone
building. And still others are neces-
sary and essential for the operation Of
the gland systems.
For instance, iron and copper are
employed by the living body for blood
building, as Is also manganese. CAL
cium and phosphorus are necessary for
bone formation and possibly for other
uses. Iodine Is an important item in
glandular activities. People who do not
get enough iodine, even in very tiny
amounts, are subject to goiter and
other humorous growthS.
1t has been common knowledge for
some time among dietitians that all
these important mineral elements were
to be found in vegetables. But now

that they are not distributed uniformly

Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, Md, December 81
With the change to cold weather to-
day dressed poultry will be in good
demand for the New Year holiday trade
and liberal shipments are advisable up
to December 81, but do not make any
shipments to reach here any later, as
all outlets will be closed and stock
will probably be total loss. Ship only
choice fat birds, as all poor stock only
tends to lower the value of the better
class.
Values show an advance over Christ
mas price due to the colder weather
prevailing, especially on dressed stock,
while live turkeys also will be in good
demand. The market closed today at
80 to IS cents for live young gobblers
and hens, % for old hens and gobblerS,
but crooked breasts are slow sale at
20. Mixed colored Spring chickens
are bringing % to 26, but poor, thin
stock will not bring over IA and Is,
while large Leghorns are in fairly good
demand at Is to 20.
Demand Is Good.
Demand for old hens very good at
10 to % for stock weighing 315 pounds
and over and II and 18 for Leghorns,
but poor, thin fowl as well as old rooSt-
ers are generally neglected at IL to Is.
Ducks and geese in ample supply for
the demand, which is limited at IA to
% for the former and % to IS for the
latter. Market for guinea fowl and
pigeons holds steady at 80 to so each
for the former and 20 pair for the
latter.
Dressed poultry is bringing from 3
to S cents a pound over live.
Market for nearby eggs Is holding
steady at 80 cents a dozen for nearby
firSts and IS for both hennery whites
and browns, but only stocks weighing
81 pounds to the case will bring top
values Current receipts sell mostly as

on the ability of the cold water to con-
dense the steam in the condenser.
Between fresh and salt water, M. Ra-
veau points out, there exists a similar
difference in boiling and condensation.
With both fresh and salt water at the
same temperature, the fresh water
should vaporize easily. If a large tank
OF fresh water and large tank of salt
water were connected by pipe and q
partial vacuum created, a water vapor
resembling the Claude low-pressure
steam will evaporate from the fresh
water tank and will condense in the
salt water tank.
This low-presSure steam may be used.
1t Is M. Raveau's belief, to generate
electricity by means Of a low-pressure
turbine and generator in a manner
similar to that of Claude's.
Scientists, who have examined the
physics Of this new possibility, say that
the theory Is correct, just as that of
the Claude system is correct They
also agree that the commercial practic-
ability Of the scheme, from an econom-
ic basis, can only be determined by
trial, and remains to be seen If and
when the scheme is tried out.

NEW METHOD SOUGHT
TO USE SEA POWER
French Scientist Proposes to OBJ
tain Steam by Uniting Fresh
and Salt Water.

Another scientific idea for obtaining
cheap power from natrue's forces in the
oceans or rivers, something like the
system employed by DR.. Georges Claude
of the coast of Cuba recently, by means
of huge steel tube sunk to the ocean
bottom to bring up cold water from
the depths, has been suggested by M
G. Raveau to the Academy of Sciences
in Paris, the same scientific body to
which DR.. Claude originally suggested
the feasibility of his method.
The new possibility, Mr.. Raveau
pointed. out, includes the extraction of
power from the fresh waters Of rivers as
they flow into and merge with the salt
waters of the ocean.
The idea embodied in the Claude
process is to employ the cold water
from the sea bottom to operate a steam
condenser which condenSes the low
pressure steam generated by the warm
water on the oceans surface This low
pressure steam was then to be used to
turn low-pressure turbine and produce
electricity; the whole process depending
