Badness
Question: Can you tell me
what would cause badness over
the temples and on .One eye
brow? The other eyebrow now
seems to be doing the same
thing. Thank you for any help
you can give.-MrS. p. B. Som

have been getting flabby and /
should like to know what to
do about it. Also will you tell
what will tighten my skin?
MRS. d. McA.
Answer: Brisk patting with
the back Of the hand or with
q patter will work wonders to
reduce a sagging chin. You
can use q "jelly," nouriShing
cream or as+ringent with the
patting to strengthen and
tighten the muscles. These are
excellent. AS for your legs and

muscles will absorb the fatti-
ness that makes your arms and
legs seem flabby.

Taxi Rates Rise
Public Will Accept Increase

is seldom that the public will accept without great deal
Of grumbng increase in rates charged for public service
But that is distinctly the in regard to the
rates established for taxicabs here.
While the riders for several years have enjoyed the
reme cheap rates which have prevailed many of them
been riding with twinge of conscience
The rates have been low that the vast majority of taxi
cab drivers unable to the barst necessities
Despite the condition to which many the drivers
duced they unable to obtain relief in the form of
equitable rates because of the mposby of uniting suf
fcenty large number in agreement behind charges
Peoples Counsel Richmond Keech to have
pshd the very difficult task of bringing many Of the drivers
into line behind the rates.
While by excessive the rates which
ceped by most of the drivers will give them chance to
at least reasonable livelihood
Washington still has far than its quota of taxicabs
although recent surveys indicates small decrease in the
number.
Likewise the regulation of taxcabs remains in chaotic
state due principally to the refusal of Congress to allow the
Public Utilities Commission to exercise complete regulatory
power of this type of utility.
It is to be hoped that the rates will enable the drivers
TO improve their living conditions without imposing any
due hardship upon potential customers.

The District Budget
An Absurd System

The District Commissioners received from the Economy
Committee the tentative draft of the cys budget
1885 fiscal year and within short time after minor
visions will go before the Bureau of the Budget justify
appropriations which will be asked
According to the reports, the Economy Committee elm
mated about $S0000 which the heads of departments and
bureaus asked be included in the budget
These eliminations may be wise.
They may be necessary prevent increase in the tax
The excluded by the committee may been totally
unnecessary
But the residents of the District will never know
Because the residents of the District although they have
the privilege paying the bills do not have the privilege
saying what the bills will be for what they will be incurred
Federal officers who have virtually no ctys
expenditures and whom the District budget
incident in the days work. have almost arbitrary
troll over that budget.
They can veto or approve Commissioners
ons and that veto approval largely what controls the
final action of Congress.
Congress gives District residents chance to voice their
vews-if Congress has the time spare of couse-but
aside from that people have very little to say to how
their money is to be spent
President Roosevelt reported to be greatly interested in
proposals which feel would improve the District
ment These proposals center largely around the institution
of a lone man. control the National Capital.
Regardless of views that highly controversial subject
The President would probably find whoehearted public
backing in the city he would revise the system of pre-
pairing the District budget
Expert studies have been made and have shown the ab
surdity of the present system of budgeting
There may have been for the system when the
Federal Government paying proportonate and fair
share of the expenses Of the national city Now that the
Federal share is simply small lump that possible
is eliminated.

Gas Company Values
Why the Delay!

is unfortunate that hearings the valuation of the
local gas companies again have been postponed
In order ntellgenty to fix gas rates the Public Utilities
Commission should have thoroughly to date and
plete valuation of the properties of the companies
There is no such valuation available today.
More than year ago the Commission launched upon a
valuation of the property Some progress has been made
result of conferences between representatives of the Com
mission and experts of the companies
But the hearings upon which the valuation will finally be
based and at which differences between the experts will
thrashed out have been postponed occasions
The hearings had been set for today but is announced
that because of vacancy the Commission due to the
resignation of Maj Gen. Mason NJ Patrick they will be post
poned indefinitely
In justice to the gas companies ard to the people of the
District these hearings should be held at and the vaua
tion expedited
If the valuation being used rate base is excessive
the deserve relief the valuation lower than
it should be the companies deserve relief
For the sake of both there should be further
sary delay. y.s

Impartial Inquiry

An impartial Congressional in"
ouiry, if one could be held at
this time, would prove that Sec
retary Ickes' dissatisfaction over
the present rate of progress OF
the public works program is JUS
titled.
Here are some of the causes
of delay:
To begin with. the Director
of the Budget, through mistaken
zeal, put a stop-order on all pub
lie works for which contracts
had not actually been let when
the new Administration entered
power. This delayed from March
until midsummer several hum
dred millions of dollars of new
construction that would have
been nearly completed by now
but for this costly blunder.
This stop-order kept thou
sands of men in the building
trades North, East, South and
West from being put to work
on public projects all through
the spring and summer.
Another cause for delay Is to
be found in the divided councils
that have embarrassed the Nd

Colonel Rupert

Brewing is Colonel Ruppert's
business. Baseball and the
ownership of his celebrated
New York Yankees, including
title to the one and only
Babe Ruth, is the colonel's re-
taxation from business and the
management of an earned for
tune which makes him as SOL
vent as a Mellon, a Ford or a
Rockefeller.
He springs from what one
might term the oldtime aristoc-
racy of the brewing business
from an honest German strain
who took honest pride in brew
ing pure beer and in dealing
fairly and literally with work
ing men.
His vast parked estate at
Garrison, N. Y. faces West
Point across the Hudson. There
he indulges his love for ami
mails, this warm-hearted gentle
man who has been known to
stop in the street and use his
own handkerchief to bandage
the leg of an injured dog.
He is IS now; gray, of course,
with a stubby, gray mustache
and a broad, pleasant face. A
vigorous man, full of the zest
of life. Always abstemious,
Colonel Rupert never touched
a drop of alcohol until beer
was free and legal once again
far more law-abiding than
many statesmen who drank one
way and voted another.
He owns more real estate in
New York than anybody except
the Astors. He collects Chinese
jade and Newfoundland dogs.
He breeds aristocratic Holstein

ton to eight enormous but
beautiful brewery horses Of the
old days.

Magic Names

What magic there is in the
old names of the Irish country
side - Kilkenny and Kildare,
Tyrone and Tipperary, County
Down and County Clare, the
Lakes of Killarney and the
River Shannon and Athlone,
with a name like a trumpet call.
Ireland and her people are like
no land or no people elsewhere
on this earth. A land whose
history throbs in her songs-the
chanting of struggle, the wall
ing of sorrow, the beating of
weary wings. And of all her
minstrels and troubadours,
never a one has sung them with
the power and sincerity of John
Mccormack.
Let me try to picture him for
you, this man of Athlone. He
is a tall man and broad; robust
as a blacksmith. Thick black
hair crowns his wide-browed
head. Brown eyes, almost black,
sparkle under heavy, black
brows. His nose is short and
sturdy above sensitive lips curl
ing in gayety or dropping in
wistfulness. Years have not
stolen his rollicking boyiShness.
There is only one way to ac-
count for him-a gift from the
old gods, a secret they whisper
ed to my good friend, William
j. Henderson, dean of Amer
ican music critics. And this is
the way of it:
It seems that the Greek god,
Pan, who had no business in
Ireland at all, had gone there
to play in the valleys on those
little pipes of his which he
ran up and down his mouth
making a scale of notes. And
whenever Pan played on those
little pipes all nature was filled
with gay intoxication. All of
which had no business in Ire
land at all, at all.
So up rose Angus Oge, the
Irish god, and said: What is
this Greek wastrel doing here,
anyhow" And thus Angus
Oge went down through the
valleys here Pan was playing
and Pan dropped his little
pipes and took to his heels.

Greedy Politicians

Apparently this minority OF
obstructionists have sincerely
but mistakenly believed that the
natural forces of recovery would
operate with sufficient rapidity
to make the expenditure voted
by Congress for public works in
large part unnecessary.
Another and even greater
cause for delay has been the
indefensible greediness OF some
of the politicians of the Admin
istration for Federal jobs that
could be distributed as political
rewards to deserving Demo
Gratis"
Instead of giving the Public
Works Administration a free
hand at the start, that it might
mobilize as swiftly as possible
the best qualified force OF eX'
perts to organize and supervise
the public works program. the
politicians of the Administration
appear to have been afraid that
some engineer or some lawyer
or some stenographer might be
employed in violation of the
priority list of the Democratic
National Committee.
One Of the major causes for
the delay cannot be traced to
the door of the Federal Govern
ment. This cause is to be found
in the political quarrels, per-
sonal jealousies and inter
municipal rivalries within the
several States. On this account
the States and municipalities
are only just now beginning to
submit applications for public
construction that the public
works law permits and that the
Public Works Administration IS
eager to approve.
Within the last two weeks, the
machinery of the Public Works
Administration has been speed.

ever, to make up the time lost
through earlier divided counsels
within the Administration and

pork barrel politicians in Con.

works project.
