If you suffer from headaches what
you want is quick relief.
Genuine Bayer Aspirin tablets
give quick relief, for one reason, be-
cause they dissolve or disintegrate
almost instantly they touch mois-
ture. (Note illustration above.)
Hence - when you take a real
Bayer Aspirin tablet it starts to
dissolve almost as quickly as you
swallow it. And thus is ready to
start working almost instantly :.
headaches, neuralgia and neuritis
pains start easing almost at once.
That's why millions never ask
for aspirin by the name aspirin
alone when they buy, but always
say "BAYER ASPIRIN and see
that they get it.
Try it. You'll say it's marvellous.

ZirkIe Quit Building Steel Bridges Only to
Find Fighting Fires as D. c. Fireman
Has Its Dangerous Moments

High in the air, crawling over
steel girders as a bridge builder,
David Homer Zirkle decided the
life of a fireman would be much
safer.
So in 1900 he was appointed
to the District Fire Department,
and served for many years until
he was retired with the rank of
lieutenant, but he found the life
of a fireman is not so safe.
Several times he had narrow
escapes from death, once during
the tobacco warehouse fire when
he was struck by a powerful
stream of water and hurled into
the basement.
The worst fire he ever fought
was at the National Hotel in
1921, he believes, when the dense
smoke made the task of getting
the guests out most perilous. and
two persons were burned to
death.
Another hard fire to fight, he
recalls. was that which destroyed
the grandstand and stables at
the old Benning race track in
1915.

children, Mr.. and Mrs. zirkle

that all the congratulations for

Donovan Raps Custom
Of Pairing Down Local
Budoet Estimates

The Presidents special commit
tee on Federal-District fiscal rela-
tionShipS today began an interro-
cation of District governmental
heads in an effort to determine
an equitable budget appropriation
forthcoming from both branches.
The hearing was held in an office
room in the Commercial National
Bank Building with all members
of the committee in attendance
except James Martin, chairman
of the Kentucky Tax Commission.
Auditor Daniel j. Donovan, in
introducing the various division
heads to the commission, empha-
sized the difficulty of obtaining
sufficient funds to adequately
meet District budget requirements
and cited the nitric at te web
through which District figures
are pared down before an actual
amount is allotted by Congress.
He attacked the policy of the
Federal Budget Bureau in "using
a little stub pencil that is
squeezed very hard" when Dis
trict estimates are submitted.
Further shaving of estimates by
House and Senate committees
also deferred sufficient funds to
finance the Capitals needs. he
said.
PAIRING Is ASSailed
In his remarks to the commits
sion, Donovan cited the fact that
other cities requiring similar
amounts in costs of operation are
aided by county and State tax
revenues which are lacking in
Washington. He decried the
$5,OOO,OOO appropriation from
Congress in the last budget as
insufficient to maintain the high
standard of beauty and cleanli-
ness emphasized by President
Roosevelt upon his return to
Washington yesterday. Major
Donovan said:
eff we are to continue see
ing Washington as one of the
grandest and most beautiful
cities in the world, we must get
additional financial aid from
the Federal Government"
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, testified that
the dual system of schools operat-
ing in washington is the main con-
tributing factor toward increased
costs of education. The necessary
duplication of school buildings,
teachers, administrative and super
visory heads, for both colored and
white pupils, entails an expense
not encountered by cities COM

said.

Halloween is over, but we still
have Mrs. Simpson with us and
shall have her-heaven be praised
for a long time, both here and
abroad. So maybe this story ism t
too old to use.
At the Ben Murch School re-
Gently, the pupils appeared in
Halloween costumes. At the end
of the studies each class had a
party at which the most popular
costume won a prize.
In the second grade the chill
dren appeared as Mickey Mouse
the Witch, Shirley Temple, Little
Red Riding Hood and so on and
were easily recognized. But the
identity of one little boy was
vague. Neither his fellow mas
uueraders nor the teacher could
identify him.
He wore, to be explicit, over
his little Sunday suit, long
purple robe of cheesecloth with a
few stars plastered here and there;
On his head was a rlckety gold
pasteboard crown. In his hand
he had a bunch of flowers.
The children guessed IN d
guessed again who he might be.
They were wrong each time. FL
nally the teacher called the myS-
terious character over and WhlS-
pered:
"TeIl me who you are"
In a stage whisper he replied:
"Pm the King. I'm the King
and I've got a bouquet for Mrs.
Simpson"
The teacher blushed a little at
this evidence of young America

foreign affairs. And later bluShed
again when the class by unanl-
nous acclaim gave the young IN
ternationalist the prize.

 but do not cOmpel'

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1886
 Although this is not an import ant day in planetary direction a benefic aspect dominates. l. is fa- vcrable time for seeking friends and for bestowing favors upon em- ployees.
 The seers advise persons in every walk of life to make the most of the holidays this year, since there are to be changes in this new era that alter many human relations.
 Shopping should be fortunate under this sway for it encourages careful choice of purchases and seems to promise happy reception of gifts.
 Amazing scientific discoveries and marvellous new inventions are fore told for the coming year when the United States is to lead the world.
 While European nations will be involved in serious conflicts this country will maintain peace through early months of a world conflict, a foreign astrologer predicts.
 There is a sign promising to American youth. The rising gen. eration is to be marked as espec- ially efficient in international af- fairs. Broad education and care ful technical training are to prove their value.
 This is read as happy day for college students Both girls and youths will benefit from the rule of the stars which encourages high spirits and keen enjoyment.
 As the Sun enters Capricorn there is a configuration that seems to presage prosperity in which Un- cle Sam will cooperate closely with his British brethren over the seas.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair success. Litigation may disturb certain men and women, owing to secret agreements of some sort.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be keen of mind and quick of action. Subjects of this sign have both Sagittarius and Capri corn traits, for they are on the cusp.

Whither Edward?
New York World Telegram

(New York World -Telegram)
 Said of the first London comments on the abdcation -"The King is dead, long live the King!
 But is King Edward VIII officially dead? Will he who had so endeared himself to his subjects, fade out and the international experts are now saylng go into exile and spend the rest of his days on so that is not forever England?'
 Will that be the fate of the one whose leaving IS described by such an English authority John Drink water as the most violent shock in our history" Or will he appear again in British affairs, looming large because of what he was?
 He is young be it remembered compared to Stanley Baldwin and the Archbishop of Canterbury and the others who have ushered him out
 It is not as if King Edward had been common place Being high paid puppet after all was not hls role Had he fitted comfortably into the symbol pattern the situation created by his abdication would have been merely another in which the world so soon forgets and long live the next king would have been the easy and the obvious answer
 But he was not ordinary He was no royal robot Whatever we may think about the Simpson aspects of the case the manner of his departure demonstrated strength in great measure, not weakness
 If things iron, go smoothly, if Edwards successor takes hold of the job which is set before him. then oblivion with the woman fer whom he re- signed as Rex Imperator may be the lot of David Windsor.
 But if British affairs become ruffled, if the gov- ernment which forced the abdcation fails to click then there may powerful pull of memory the memory of a young man who carried briefcase over the seven seas to sell" his empire who as Prince and as King demonstrated more affection for the owiest than for the highest of his subjects and who thereby bound to himself the affections of the masses of the empire which in theory he ruled but which in practice calls for symbol which he refused to be-
 It is too much to hope to pierce all the fog which now envelops the situation It does seem clear, how ever that should Edward come back it would not be in the royal capacity but citizen Anyway, where Edward goes from here is to quite the most fascn- atng phase all the whole series of events which in both political and sentimental sense rvaed in interest any other twenty-four hours of our time.

Gathered around the Community Christmas Tree, microphone, and organ, played by Mrs. G. E. Krause and Miss Helen Torkelson, large number of Juneau's citizens were present to sing carols yesterday at Triangle Place, considering that snow and wind tried their best to freeze out all those at the gath ering.
 The program was broadcast oyer KINY, announcements being made by Bud Foster for those who wished to listen "but at the same time preferred to sit at home and enjoy the hearth fire"
 Every year the Business and Pro- fessional Woman's Club sponsors the community carol singing and
