 Ii the looking glass we see our selves as others do, but it's a bit more difficult to get glampse of the back we turn to the public during the evening hours.
 This often results in our giving more attention to our faces and less to our backs-a serious over sight.
 I have found daily soap and water baths very beneficial to the back, especially when the water is warm and lots of soap is used. A long handled back brush insures reaching the spin column while a rough bath towel freshens the skin. A dusting of powder adds to the beauty of the back.

CAB MONOPOLY
IS SMASHED
Times Staff Photo

Attempting to abolish the long
practice of hotels selling conceS-
sions to single taxicab COM
pany, the Public Utilities Com
mission today approved an order
providing for cab stands, open
to all taxi operators, adjacent to
each downtown hotel.
The commission expects that
an appeal from this provision Of
the order will be carried to the
courts by either the Black and
White and Yellow Cab Co., or the
Diamond Cab Co. The former
concern has concessions, at the
Willard, Washington and Raleigh
hotels, while the latter is located
at the Hamilton and Mayflower
hotels. g"
For a number OF years the Dis.
trict has been attempting to
smash the concession monopoly
but IN every instance the MotelS
have won.
Acting under provisions Of the
new license law, the commission
order established 1875 cab stands,
10 sightseeing vehicle stands and
five express vehicle stands in all
sections of the city. Location of
the stands was picked after weeks
of study by the Traffic Co-ordi-
mating Committee. ~
The cIeamittee, in the main,
established the stands in locations
adjacent to spots where stands for
some years have unofficially ex.
itSed.
The commission and the com.
mittee turned thumbs down on
the suggestion of establishing cab
stands in the reserved space ad-
jacent to fire hydrants.
