treasures collected by Henry Walters
In Europe. It was immensely over
crowded and very poorly arranged; the
pictures were hung, rs in the old gal
lery, frame to frame and row upon
row almost to the ceiling; no effort
was made Ut classification, one had to
pick and choose blindly. and even so,
upon Mr.. Walters recent death 1t was
found that approximately 200 cases
were stored in the cellar unopened, an
unbelievable treasure trove.
During the lifetime of both father
and SOD the Walters Gallery was only
open to the public under restrictions
on certain days in Lent for the benefit
of the poor fund of Baltimore, but
when Henry Walters died, 1t was found
that he had willed the gallery and his
entire collection to the city under the
most liberal terms. This trust has
been administered with great vision
and Judgment. The advice of the lead
ing experts has been sought and fol-
lowed.
During the Summer of 1884 certain
physical changes were made in the
building and the collection was care
fully gone over. sorted out and rear
ranged, effectively and chronologically.
The change is miraculous: from the
confusion Of the past has come an Or
derly arrangement which satisfies
every esthetic sense. The Greek
adage, Nothing In excess" has o5vi-
ously been kept in mind. And this
gallery is now open every weekday
from ii am. to pm. and on Sundays
and holidays from 2 to pm. without
charge for admission.
THE Walters Gallery of Baltimore Is
not only a regal gift to the people,
but q monumental work of co-opera-
tion and collaboration on the part of
experts and scholars of the utmost dis
tinction. 1t Is by no means finished,
but that progress is being made Is evi-
denced by the publication of the
handbook so lately from the press.
In publishing this handbook, which
Is the collaborative work of the stan
and the Advisory Committee, the pur-
pose Of the trustees is twofold: ITO
render an accounting of stewardship
to the public and to the art world of
the activities of the past two years, and
TO furnish them with a general survey
Of this newly accessible public mu-
scum" AS to the book itself: Begin
ming with the art of Egypt, 1t passes
to consideration of the art of the an
cient East, the art of Greece, Rome
and Tuscany. classical art, the art of
the Near East, Byzantine art, Medieval
art, Renaissance art the art of the
later centuries. On a majority of its
ITS pages are significant illustrations
with which is text not merely descrip-
tive but Illuminating Such a hand
book is the best substitute for scholarly
companionship and guidance on a GAL
lery tour. Also it can be taken home
under ones arm and used continuously
as reference.

become custom in recent years with

craze for sun-baths and coats Of
Summer tan.
There is no type of Caucasian skin
that will, without protest. stand ex-
posure to the sun. day in and day
out, year in and year out. Even the
brunette will notice, to her chagrin,
that her skin becomes dryer, that it
perspires less and chaps more readily
and that wrinkles develop.
Therefore. ladies. don't let Old Sol

Uncle Sam. 1t is certain that. If
women realized that excessive sunlight
upon the face would cause them to
look ages older than their years. the
present suntan fad would be far less
popular.
That the skin of the farmers neck.

kled, Is fact apparent to all of US
The frequency of horny growths and
cancers in these areas is less well
aPPANSAdICo
Not only Is the normal skin dam
aged, but certain types of diseased skin
are made much worse by sunburn
This Is especially true Of acne, rosacea
and skin damaged from X-rays, but
also In eczema and most infiammatory
disorders.
A dry skin that is already rich in
thick and wartlike growths may de-
velop multiple cancers as the result
Of few hours exposure to strong
sunlight.
Every skin specialist knows that a
very mild degree of redness, resulting
from an x-ray treatment, may be
converted into a serious x-ray burn
as the result of a bad sunburn df
you've been X-rayed recently. then
by all means stay out of the SUM.
As an example of the damage that
may be done, the case of a man suf-
fering from psoriasis may be quoted:
The patient. brunette, some so years
Of age, had long suffered from the dis
ease. Inasmuch as it did not yield
well to treatment. one April he was
advised to 60 to Florida for fishing
trip, and he was further advised to
expose his body to the sun for not
more than Is minutes the first day.
But did he follow this advice? Not
exactly. He hired a launch, dressed
like Gunga Din, with not him much
before an rather less than 'arf O.
that be'ind." The tarpon we're strik-
ing well and it was over five hours
before he was forced TO think of his
skin. The next day he was in
hospital. where he remained a full
10 days, and, to add insult to injury,
the psoriasis developed In many of
the badly burned areas.
THE prophylaxis Of sunburn is rather
more difncult than it sounds, for
those who spend only their week ends
In the open air, for they hate to de-
velop a protective tan before exposing
their bodies.
For q favored few q series Of sun, or
ultra violet, baths can be taken before
trips to the beaches, 50 that in an
emergency q heavy coating of cold
cream before each exposure Is de-
cidly useful.

are many ways of alleviating It. And

INCAR DEATH

HYATTSVILLE, Md, Dec. "a.
Judge George B. Merrick yesterday
dismissed charges of reckless driv-
ing against the drivers of five cars
involved in a collision on the Balti-
more Boulevard, December 16, in
which Stanford Hammond, 10, col
ored was killed. Dismissal of
charges followed decision of a coro-
ner's jury that the accident was
unavoidable.
According to testimony at the
hearing, the accident occurred
when the first of four machines,
travelling in the same direction,
stopped abruptly to avoid striking
a parked car owned by Charles C.
Foote, of Berwyn. Bradford was
riding in the second of the four
machines in operation, a truck
driven by his uncle, Longstreet
Bradford.
Drivers of the other machines
were E. w. Pulliam, of Ashboro,
N. c.; Sulon Tysinger, of High
Point, N. c., and William J. Haid,

MONEY ASKED
FOR SCHOOLS

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Dec. "a.
Declaring that the unprecedented
growth" in population here during
the past two years is causing an
acute problem in the public
schools, a committee of the City
Council has recommended a
quarter million dollar appropria-
ton for schools during the next II
months.
Pointing out that the accredited
standing Of the one-year-old George
Washington High School would be
endangered unless 20 rooms are
added in time for occupancy next
September, Councilman j. T. Ash
ton. chairman of the school COM
mittee, said this building, con-
structed to handle but 1850 pupils,
now had more than 1900 enrolled
and is faced with an increase Of
800 next September, which will
bring the enrolment to 1900.
Cost of this annex to the build
ing was estimated at $4,000,
while the cost of an additional ele-
mentary school which will be need
ed within a year or 18 months was
estimated at $4,000. The elemen-
tary school, needed in the Jeffer-
son Park area, will require a site
of not less than five acres, it was
added.
Recommendations made by the
Council committee are in line with
those recently made by the school
board. Council referred the report
to City Manager E. C. Dunn for
study and a later report on what
he thought the actual cost of the
necessary structures would be-.
Others serving on the school COM
mittee are Councilmen John D.
Matter and Charles M. Stump.

CITIZENS URGE
MORE POLICE
IN DISTRICT
BY A. J. DRISCOLL
Citizens Associations Editor


Stressing the need for additional
police in every precinct, the Rock
Creek Citizens Association last
night adopted resolutions approx
ing Major Ernest w. Browns re-
quest for an appropriation to
enable the appointment of 800 new
policemen.
The association also went on
record as favoring the five-year
school building program recon-
mended by the Board Of Educa-
tion and Sup e rintendent Of
Schools Frank w. Ballou.
Opposition was made to recon-
mendation of a local automobile
association that motorists be al
lowed to double the speed limits
before being subjected to revoca-
tion Of drivers license.
Miss Mamie H. Burroughs, head
of the National Training School
for Colored Girls, and chairman of
the Northeast Cooperative Move
ment Association, urged the as
sociation to sponsor a back-to
the-farm movement as one means
of eliminating charity and pow
erty in the District. She said
there are many acres lying idle in
nearby Maryland and Virginia
that could easily be obtained.
The meeting was held in Eben.
ezer Church, Twenty-seventh and
o Streets Northwest. DR.. C. Her
bert Marshall presided.

WPA MERIT

Works Progress Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins favors the pro-
posal of extending the merit sys-
tenn. through qualifying examina-
tions, to the WPA administrative
staff it was revealed today.
Sentiment of the administra-
tor, it was reported, was ex-
pressed at a conference between
him and a delegation of the WPA
Lodge, American Federation of
Government Employees, on recent
WPA diSmisSals. It was reported
that Hopkins plans to discuss the
proposal with President Roose-
velt and he suggested that the
union call the matter to the at
tention of the White House.
Commissioner George E. Allen,
administrator of the District WPA
program. came out in favor of
the merit system several months
ago after completing an extended
tour of inspection of WPA prof
ectS in a number of the States.

S5OO,0OO PLAN
FOR SCHOOLS

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. "a.
Nearly half million dollar school
expansion program will be re-
quired in Montgomery county dur
ing the next four years if adequate
public school facilities are to be
provided for the contemplated in
crease in student enrolment. This
prediction was made to the board
of Montgomery county commits
Sioners today by DR.. Edwin w.
Broome, superintendent of public
schools, after a survey.
Although an approximate three
quarter million-dollar school ex-
panSion program is now nearing
completion, DR.. Broome declared
it will not be adequate for more
than one year.
In his report DR.. Broome says
Montgomery Blair Senior High
School in Silver Spring, completed
nearly a year ago, will be over its
capacity by the opening of the
September term in 1887, and the
contemplated enrolment for 1888
and 1899 will reach such proper
tions that it will be impossible to
accommodate all students.
Expansions suggested in the
various schools and the estimated
cost of the additions are as fol-
lows:
To the Montgomery County
Senior High School at Silver
Spring, a 1O-class room unit, at an
estimated cost of $120,000.
The Woodside and Parkside
school areas will reach plant ca
pacity by September, 1888. A six
class room, at an estimated cost
of $55, 900, is suggested.
Bethesda and Alta Vista school
areas will reach capacity by Sep
tember, 1888. Six-class rooms, esti-
mated to cost $55 1000, is needed.
A three-class room addition to
the Sherwood school plant at
Sandy Spring was estimated TO
cost $4,000.

Library, Site Given
To Iii yattSVille

HYATTSVILLE, Md. Dec. "a
William Pinckney Magruder, 79,
affectionately known to residents
of this city as "The Father of
Hyattsville" because of his many
benefactions, was cast in the role
of Santa Claus here today, as =
result of his announced intention
of donating to the city a $4,000
public library building, and a
$4,000 site for it's erection.
The site offered by Magruder,
former mayor of HyattSville, is a
As by $50 foot lot, adjoining the
recently completed Post office
Building on Spencer Street, in the
heart of the city. Mayor H. T.
Willis, through whom the offer
was made known, termed it a
timely and appropriate gift" and
announced the city council would
act on the proposal at it's regular
meeting next Monday.
The city already owes its only
park-a 12-acre tract, where
Hyattsville's recent Golden Jubilee
celebratlon was held-tO Magru-
der's generosity.
Born here in the days when
Hyattsville, then known as Bla-
densburg, was a community of 20
frame dwellings, Magruder as city
councilman and subsequently as
mayor, sponsored many innova-
tions and civic improvements.
During his term as mayor, 1902,
he initiated Hyattsville'S first
street-paving program.
Reported to be the largest tax
payer in Prince Georges county,
Magruder today remarked:
"The only good of money is its
use to others. I love to make it
and give it away. 1t gives me
more pleasure than anything on
EARTH"

HOW TO CHECK
LOOSE DANDRUFF
AND SCALP ITCHING

When your clothing is showered
with loose dandruff scales, it's time
to do something about it. Skin
specialists say that excessive dam
druff is one of the important causes
of hair loss.
Two things can be done to check
loose dandruff:
First, shampoo once a week (of-
tener if necessary to keep the
scalp free from oiliness or crust
ing, using a rich lather of mild
Resinol Soap and rinsing thor
oughly.
Second. fine-comb the scalp twice
weekly so as to remove loose dam
druff scales. Then part the hair
carefully and apply Resinol Oint-
ment to the scalp, rubbing it in
gently. Persistent use of this treat
ment for a reasonable time usually
brings pleasing results.
