STANDING OF CLUBS Pacific Coast League

Make up your mind today that you are going to give your skin a real chance to get well.
 Like a lot of other people, you've probably been convinced that the only thing to use was an ointment or salve (sone of them are very good) but in the big majority of cases these sticky salves simply clog the pores and the condition pri- marily remains the same.
 Go to Butler Mauro Drug Go. or any other good druggist today and get an original bottle of Moone's Emerald Oil-it lasts many days

SMOKING RULE.
OBSERVED

The rule against smoking in
the Governments mporary
wooden buildings, enforcement Of
which has been lax in some Of
the buildings and strict in others.
will likely be observed a bit more
earnestly in them all henceforth,
following the action at the Cen
sus Bureau recently, when num-
ber, variously estimated at from
IA to 40, were discharged for
smoking outside the building.
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, which has exceptionally
strict rules and enfOrceS them
rigidIy, has also had to exercise
its authority in the locker room
of late in respect to smoking, one
man being disciplined.
Smoking in the temporary
buildings is prohibited, largely on
account of fire danger, and this
danger is quite real and serious
officials have pointed out.
Usually, however, office execu-
tives have indulgently appeared
ignorant when an employee slipped
outside for a puff, although this,
too, is against the rules.
A general Tightening up of en-
forcing the smoking rule is ex-
pected all over the city, from
now on, especially since summer
heat accentuates fire danger and
since a lightning bolt set fire to
one temporary building last week,
showing how inflammable they
really are.
At any rate, the Census Bureau
EMPLOYEES are more careful this
week, knowing that smoking or
breaking any other regulations
will likely put them first on the
list to be discharged in the con-
tinuous cutting down Of the tenn
porary force.

PROWLER RAIDS
TRAIN BERTHS

Occupants of two pullman cars
on the Pennsylvania train that
leaves New York at midnight
are still wondering why the
prowler who relieved them OF
wallets and other valuables re-
fused to take their watches.
Some superstition doubtless at
taches to the aversion since foun-
tain pens and gold pencils were
included in his loot. Some one
suggested he may have been hur-
ried and didn't want to take
the time"
Women were crying and men
cursing as the train pulled into
Washington this morning. A.
Kaplan of Rose-Martin. Inc,
New York who was robbed Of
SAT and other valuables said:
'Tt was the smOOthest thing
I ever saw. No one heard q
thing. 1 had slipped my wallet
in the pillow slip and it was
slit, as If with a razor. My
watch which hung in full view
was left, while the fountain
pen was taken from my coat
pocket"

REVIVED, LATER.
TAKEN FROM
HOSPITAL
Mary Hill Discovered by Auto
Driver; Mystery Surrounds
the Cause for Her Condition

Found unconscious lying at the
side Of Russell Road near Rose
crest Avenue, Alexandria, last
night. a young woman who gave
her name as Miss Mary Hill, of
1927 l. st. N. W., was revived at
the Alexandria Hospital.
After a short hysterical period,
she was quieted and later re-
leased.
Identity Is Doubted
Inquiry at the L Street address
disclosed that there is a Miss Hill
residing there though she was re-
ported absent from home.
Doubt was expressed by Mrs. A.
B. Gilbert, the landlady, that her
guest could have been the Miss
Hill treated. When last seen by
Mrs. Gilbert Miss Hill appeared to
be in good health.
The young woman was taken
to the hospital by Robert L..
Bories, 1900 Carlton Ave. N. E.,
who said that he investigated
when he saw the girl lying at the
side Of the road.
Not Wounded
She was well dressed and appar-
emily had not been wounded.
Two men helped him place the
girl in his machine and he took
her to the hospital, he said. He
doubted that she had been thrown
from q car.

Taxicab Ride, Radio
Concert, All for

MARGARET

A taxi ride all the way across
Washington, with a radio con-
cert thrown in, all for a dime, is
certainly bargain. but it can't
last long, says Charles T. O'Con~
nell, of 54 c st. N. W., who
drives one of the few radio
equipped cabs and claims to be
the first cab driver to lower
his rate to a dime in the taxi
war this week.
O'Connell, who has been hack
ing here for II years, drives
his own cab, and says if others
can afford to operate at a loss
he can, too, and he's trying to
look at the situation humorously.
Meanwhile, with his Radio
Cab No. A" he is giving an
Amos n Andy dialogue with 10
miles of ride for a thin dime,
the tenth part of dollar, but
wondering how long it will last.

OTHERS TALK
. PEACE AND
FARE RISE
Utility Board Gets Word Of
Meter Change, Reduction;
Truce ParIey Next Week

The Black and White and Vel
low Cab Companies announced
today that, effective Monday,
they will adopt the flat rate
system of charges, with charge
of 35 cents for the first zone,
so cents for the second, and IS
cents for the third.
Decision to abandon the former
system of rates and accept the
principal of a flat rate came as
other companies, which have
forced rates down to 10 and Is
cents, were entering upon
period of negotiation prior to
peace meeting early next week.
Continues Meters
The Black and White and Vel
low companies, will continue To
use meters, the flat rate for each
zone being registered for the pro-
lection of the public.
w. ], Brown, head of the COM
panies, announced the change IN
a letter to the Public Utilities
Commission. The letter follows:
EFFECTIVE Monday July ~,
the Black and White and Vel
low Cab companies will reduce
their present taxi fare Of SO
cents for the first mile and 20
cents for each succeeding mile
to a flat rate of IS cents tn
points anywhere in the city
proper zone.
"This rate will apply to fares
from Union Station and all
hotels and places where we
have concessions for our service.
The total amount due for taxi
fare for either the first zone
or the second or succeeding
second or third zones will be
registered and will show on
the meter, thereby protecting
the public from any Overcharge.
1--WE will continue this IS
cent flat rate until such time
as certain laws may be enacted
by Congress that will eventual
ly stabilize taxicab industry in
the District"
Mr.. Brown declared that while
going on the flat rate, his COM
panies will continue to maintain
the same service which has been
their standard for years.
Peace Looms
In the meantime Leon J. Brill,
jr., of the Bell Company, loomed
as the peace maker in the big
taxi war. He sounded out officials
of most of the companies and OBJ
tanned agreements to meet Mon
day or Tuesday to discuss the
situation.
Only one large company seemed
reluctant to accept Brilps offer.
Broadmoor, Circle, Bell and City
cabs will be at the peace confer
ence and probably others. 1t is
probable that the companies will
go back to either a 35 or Is cent
flat rate for the first zone, with
subsequent stepping up the total
bill by 10 cents each.
