FARLEY TO DECIDE
RAIL WAY PURCHASE
Agreement Believed Near on
Abandoning Tracks in
Triangle.
BY HOWARD NJ. BAGGETT,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star

ALEXANDRIA. Va, April 29--With
q conference between Treasury Depart
ment officials and r. l.. May. owner
of the Mount Vernon, Alexandria IL
Washington Railway Co, operating
street car service between this city and
Washington, scheduled for this week,
indications point TO an agreement being
reached over the question OF paying
May for his tracks and franchise rights.
which will mean that the line will
abandon operations.
Terminal to Be Vacated.
Discrimination by Mr. May will also
result i'll the abandoning of operations
into the Twelfth street and Pennsyi-
vania avenue terminal by the Arlington
& Fairfax Railway. which uses the
tracks and terminal of the Alexandria
line.
Government officials have been seek
ing some way to pay May 100000 out
of the $4,000 900 Government appro-
priation for the development of the
property south of Pennsylvania avenue,
so that a separate appropriation from
Congress or from the District of Co.
hmbia Government would not be
necessary.
No Appropriation Made.
May had expected that an appro-
priation would be made by Congress to
take care of the matter. when efforts
of the Public Utilities Commission TO
provide him with new terminal facili-
ties failed. but Congress adjourned
without making such an appropriation
and the proposal that the District of
Columbia Government pay $4,000 Of
the money was voted down by Wash
ington heads.
Subsequently, attorneys for the Alex
andria line sought an injunction against
the Government to prevent its taking
up the tracks of the line in the Mall
triangle until payment was made. This
injunction is still pending a hearing in
Washington courts, having been post
poned several times by attorneys for the
Government.
In the event an agreement is reached,
which now appears probable, the in
junction proceedings will be quashed
and the line abandoned.

Your Weight and Beauty.

TN most people the weight Is a
fairly reliable index to the state
Of health. BY this do not mean
Il that one should be guided entirely
by standard tables Of weights for
ones age and height. Constancy OF
weight Is a more important consider
alton, and any sudden variation Is to
be regarded with suspicion.
Rapid loss of weight may be due
either to wrong methods Of diet or to
the onset of some constitutional dis
order. Young girls are apt to go in for
injudicious "slenderizing'' diets and
sometimes are unable to check the
rapid loss Of weight started by this
means. II you are losing weight and
there is nothing in your diet or mode of
life to account for 1t, have yourself
thoroughly examined by a physician,
special consideration being given to the
chest and lungs. Loss of weight is one
Of the most constant signs Of early
tuberculosis.
Like any other good thing, the fad
Of weighing and measuring ones self
may be overdone; it may become an
unhealthy obsession unless it is handled
with common sense. Although there IS
an average height and weight chart
for girls and women Of different ages,
that does not mean that all must con-
form to this standard in order to be
considered normal. It Is Just as right
and natural for some 15-year -old girls
to have large, we'll developed figures
as 1t Is for others to retain fiat, child

DILL 11VAC ~ OANAA1O ". Burgess.

But Unc' Billy Is naturally lazy, except
when he Is hungry, and he didn't want
to take the trouble to look for another
home.
He wondered If Mrs. Postum was
still living in the old home which she
had turned him out of to make room
for the children. He hadn't been over
there for long time. Perhaps by this
time the children had left home and
Mrs Postum would let him come back.
There would be nothing lost by find
ing out.
So, whining and muttering to him
self, Unc' Billy made his way over to
the old home. "Ah reckon OF Mrs.
Postum done gwine let me stay If she
is all alone and hears how All done
lost nah home" he muttered as he
shuffled along. "Ah reckon she done
gwine to be sorry TO- me and let me
stay"
But when he came in sight of the
big hollow tree which was the Postum
home his hopes were dashed. Two
small, sharp faces were peeping out
of the doorway. The children were
still there. The Great World had not
yet called them. With q deep sigh of
disappointment, Unc' Billy turned
away. It was useless even to think Of
trying to enter that crowded home.
Being hungry, he put off looking for
a new home until he had had some
thing to eat. Having dined, he felt
better and the finding Of new home
didn't seem half so important as 1t
had before. In fact. he didn't think
about 1t at all until the Black Shadows
began to steal away from the Green
Forest and he realized that he was
tired and sleepy. Then he began to
look about for a place to spend the
DAY. Finally he came to an old stump.
Under it was hole dug long ago by a
member Of the Chuck family. The en-
trance was between two stout old roots
and was just big enough for him and
no more. It couldn't be dug any bigger
because Of those roots.
This will do TO- today" muttered
Unc' Billy, and a few minutes later
was fast asleep inside. He came back
there the next day and the next. Then
he decided to make 1t his home. 1T
isn't so good as the home All done
lost, but 1t isn't so bad as it might
be-" said he. mo, sub, it isn't. All

thought came to him. AN lightning

form a shelter over the little sucker.
Here, hidden from their natural
enemies, the birds and ants, to say
nothing of the tree owner with his
spray gun, the aphids continue their
destructive work.
When the rosy apple-aphid Is 2
weeks old she gives birth to her
children. Two or three every day for
week or more. In a little over two
weeks she is a grandmother. BY the
time July arrives the standing room Is
pretty crowded. Then to relieve the
situation winged females are born.
They fly at once to the narrow-leaved
plantain close by. Here are born
daughters who do not resemble their
mother or grandmothers. They are
clothed in greenish-yellow and nearly
all are wingless.
The family increases at an alarming
rate. OF course, the ants are forever
or the lookout for additional cattle,
and birds are hungry little beasts, so
the crowded condition at the sign of
the plantain leaS is somewhat lessened.
AS Winter approaches a new situa-
ton presents itself. A plantain leaf or
weed is no place for the coming gen.
erations of rosy apple-aphids. Then
winged females and males are born.
This is the first and only time there
are DOyS 1Iccc
children fly back to the old home place,
the apple tree.
Before cold weather sets in, the fe-
males are busy placing eggs which will
Winter on the stems, branches and
twigs of the tree. At first the eggs are
yellowish-green, then they turn a
lark-green and finally are very black.
There are about a dozen. When seeing
an egg-infested tree, 1t Is difficult to
imagine how many females are placing
eggs.
Two weeks before the buds begin to
open, the little eggs hatch. This is a
most critical time for the young aphid.
The outer shell opens about one week
before the inner sheath splits. Then
the head appears with a spiked helmet
on it. This Is known as the egg
breaker. Next the shoulders and
finally the young aphid stands up on
the tip of her abdomen. She is
wrapped in her swaddling clothes. The
head begins to swell, the helmet splits
and drops to her shoulders, 1t widens,
and finally drops down her body to the
she'll She must now free herself from
the shell to which she is still attached.
She twists and turns until the tip of her
abdomen is broken free from the shell.
Her legs and antennae move about. The
aphid is free at last.

came out with the formal announce
ment. He's been toying with the idea
a long time. A man Of his youth and
enthusiasm who has had a taste Of
politics and liked it could hardly be
expected not to have such thoughts.
He has not lost touch with Ohio
since his stay in Washington. He
climbs into his speedy "Helldiver" on q

State and back. 1t is In plane that
he expects to do most of his cam
paigning.
If ingalls, is successful in his bid for
the governorship. there are those who
believe that he may attempt to go even
higher up the political ladder
That he likes politics is a well known
fact. Two terms in the Ohio Legisla-
ture and his service as Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Navy have whetted his ap-
petite considerably.
There's going 20 be . campaign for
the United States Senate out In Ohio
In 1894. That Republican gtalwart
Senator FeSs, comes up for reelection
at that time.
If ingalls, were to DO elected Gov
ernor, he would take Office In January
of 1888. A period In the Governors
chair might possibly 60 long way
toward making him q strong opponent
for Tess.
But even If he is defeated in his bid
for the governorship, not a great deal
will be lost. He is still young and has
plenty Of time ahead Of him. And q
campaign, were it to be a losing one
would give him some excellent adver-
Using.
At any rate he'll bear watching.

not run fast or dodge as Peter Rabbit
can. He is too big and too slow to
disappear In small hole or under an

Mink and his cousin, Shadow the

and split, so that part of it had fallen,
tearing away a whole side Of Unc'

in and given him a thorough soaking.
He had not known it at the time. for
he had been stunned. The wonder
was that he had not been killed.
He knew it now, however, as he
slowly climbed down to the ground.
He felt shaky, for he had had a ter
rible fright. He was wet and alto
gether miserable. And once more he
was without a home. This did not
bother him as much as it would have
bothered you or me, for Unc' Billy is
not fussy and is used to sleeping in
