Necklaces Necessary to

More time, energy and material
Is spent in creating new kinds of
necklaces than in any other field
Of adornment for women. That
seems doubtful at first, but orig

possible.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
women nowadays feel that some

feet of a dress, whether it is
sports ensemble, tea gown or eve

BROADER SMOKE
LAW SOUGHT

Extension of provisions of the
anti-smoke law to apply to Fri.
vate dwellings was advocated to.
day by Senator William H. King
of Utah.
Senator King revealed that he
has conferred with DR.. william
H. Fowler, District health officer,
and that he has asked the Dis.
trict official to draw amendments
to the smoke law which would
make it far more drastic than
it is at present.
DR.. Fowler informed the Sem
ator that the present law does
not cover smoke issuing from
private dwellings. railroad .0co-
motives, steam rollers. steam
shovels and similar apparatus
Failure of the law to cover
these objects surprised the Sen.
ator and he said that in the
coming Congress he will make
strenuous efforts to extend the
provisions of the law.
The Senator also revealed that
he will endeavor to obtain appro-
priations for additional inspectors
to assist Dr. Fowler in enforcing
the law.

the United States Supreme
Court for a review of his con-
viction on a charge of contempt
of court arising out of his al
legged violation of a paddock in
junction issued against premises

Only Seven Meet With Board
Requirements of 3 Acres;
Menace to Children Cited

More than 81 per cent of the
schools in the District of Colum.
b1a are lacking in the amount of
playground space necessary for
the normal recreational activities
OF its pupils. according to require
ments specified by the oolrd of
education, and only one school IN

and q minimum of five acres Is
recommended as desirable for each
elementary school. According to

low this specification, while seven
barely come within the require

Few Have Enough Space
Nine schools. according to the
figures. have between two and
three acres of space and 26 have
little more than one acre.
"a schOOlhOuse without an
adequate playground is an edu-
catiOnal defOrmity and pre-

This statement was made in a
report to the recent White House

The boards requirements also
specify that each Junior high
school shall have from five to six
acres of ground for Fairgrounds

DRASTIC CUTS
EXPECTED IN
ESTIMATES
Commissioners Will Reduce
Figures Submitted by More
Than $10,OO0,Oo0, Is Belief

With the estimated amount for
the various District departmental
needs guarded in deep secrecy,
the District Commissioners today
began hearings for the budget Of
the fiscal year Of 1888.
BY clOaking the estimates in
secrecy, the District heads re-
verted to the policy which held
sway at the District Building
nriOr to the term of Engineer
Commissioner J. Franklin Bell.
During his term. Lieutenant
Colone. Bell devised the idea of
making public the estimates,
mainly for the benefit of the Fed.
Grafton of Citizens Associations
and the Citizens Advisory Council.
Huge Cuts Necessary
The only hint of the amount of
the estimates now being pondered
over came from Commissioner
Luther H. Reichelderfer, who
stated that the Commissioners
would have to cut the present
estimates $10,OO0,O00 to $12,.
100000.
AS result of DR.. Reichelder-
fCr'S statement. it is believed that
the total estimates amount o ap-
proximaely $60,000,000 and the
city heads are striving to bring
the figure down to approximately
S4S,000,000. The estimates of a
year ago amounted to $57,000,-
600.
The first departmental head
called before the Commissioners
at tOday's hearing was Daniel E.
Garges, secretary to the Board
of Commissioners, who estimates
deal with the salaries of the
Commissioners, their private Sec
retarieS and the force of clerks
in the office of the secretary to
the Board of Commissioners.
Others who were called to ap-
pear before the Commissioners
at today'S hearing included:
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride; DR.. William C. Fowler,
head of the District Health De-
partment: E. P. Brook, superin.
tendent of the District Building;
DR.. j. Ramsay hewitt, the District
coroner, and Chatham M. Towers,
the District collector of taxes.
Two Estimates known +
Only two items of estimates
are known for certainty. These
are the estimates of the Board Of
Education and the Public Library,
which were made public by these
departments.
The Board of Education esti-
mates amount to $14,681,3 1897,
which is an increase of $1,164,777
over the estimates a year ago.
The Public Library estimates
amount to $767,735, which is an
increase of $72,785 over the esti-
mate last year.
Upon recommendation Of
Major Daniel J. Donovan, the
District Auditor, who declared
there were many errors in the
estimates turned in by the vari.
GUS department heads, the Com.
missioners decided to keep the
estimates secret until the cut
ting down of the figures was
completed and their report for
the Bureau of the Budget was
ready.

old friends in Washington today
by his facility to carry on a con
verSation.
Speaking through his mechani-
cal larynx, Mr.. Mahon said:
"The last time I was in Wash

had my natural voice. After
my operation, I tried out the
mechanical larynx, and I'm still
using it. 1 have had much pub
licity as a result of my me.
chanical voice, but I find that
all my old friends, the first
time I meet them, are amazed
that 1 can really converse. 1t
seems that despite all the pub
licity they still believed / could
only talk in gutteral mOnOsyl-
lables."
Mr.. Mahon's new voice is Of a
basso quality and emanates from
a contraption that resembles a
briar pipe, which is held IN the
mouth while the lips enlnciate
the words. The pipe-like con,
traption is connected by rubber
tubing with a silver windpipe
which the surgeons substituted
