So much so that thinking that
one good turn merits another
try at the same, Miss Hills has
elaborated with Bertha FolUz
on "Corned Beef and Caviar "
1t is a neat little volume predi-
Gated upon the assumption that
all live-aloners, particularly fe-
males, don't know much about
food. That is, the simple prep
aration of a meal or two chat
doesn't take all day and yet has
that certain something that an
epicure or just someone that is
hungry would enjoy.
SKEPTICAL REVIEW
One young 'live-aloner" who
spent an evening delving into
the volume shifted very, very
superciliously at the suggestion
from Miss Hills that a real true
died in the wool ''live-aloner"
would care for canned baked
beans in a special menu and
suggested she could give Miss
Hills some lessons in cooking
that might amaze her.
For that manner, there are
some who might join with this
reviewer in expressing disgust
at the suggestion of eating
spinach, canned or uncanned,
but after all it's a matter Of
taste. Miss Hills is offering a
cook book with a swing.
Almost in the same breath at
tention should be given to an
other volume by the same pub
fishers, Bobbs-M Merrill. It's from a
man and might be taken as an
antidote. Its How To Live
Without a Woman. by Alex
ander Wright.
chow TO PICK A WIFE"
With much flicking Of the
tongue first to one cheek and
then another, Mr.. Wright in q
torrent Of wisecracks and ten
chapters with an appendix
playfully entitled, How to Pick
a Wife," tells all. That is he
tells much about how a male
''live aloner" can escape woman's
influence without going COM
pletely berSerk in a tangle Of
darning cotton and dust cloths.
In the face of some Of the Sug-
gestions which have the naive
turn Of a Rube Goldberg car
toon the volume will probably
create the greatest urge known
to civilization to a man who
reads it to make for the first
marriage license bureau.

White shoes, white dresses and
bright summer cOlorS are In the
fashion spectrum now. Not even
the nOrthern-mOst residents Of our
country are still confined to the
somber hues of winter. In Dixie, of
course, the frills Of summer have
frightened the scene for several
weeks.
But how about you? Have you
frightened up yourself? Have you
given yourself your spring house
cleaning? There Is probably no
time more than In summer when a
person can be at her best-or at
her worst. And the nice thing about
1t Is, the difference is up to our
selves to determine.
SIMPLE ROUTINE
A simple routine Is the answer to
most of our grooming problems. as
has been pointed out repeatedly in
this column. Habit governs so many
Of our actions. Why then not make
our grooming routine part of our
daily habits. Let me suggest a
daily dozen" for the benefit Of
your appearance and your comfort
during the summer months.
1. Rise after eight hours sleep.
A cooling bath. tub or shower.
2. Brisk rub with coarse towel,
8. Sprinklng of busting powder.
4. Brisk workout for the hair
and an off-the-face hair-dress.
5. Include your usual powder
base.
6. Pat cold cream, or eye cream,
around your eyes to prevent sum
mer-wrinkles."
z. Apply cosmetics, to your usual
taste-but you'll find it preferable
to use less cosmetics in summer
than in winter.
8. Dress in bright, light, com
Portable clothing. Sandals. if you
have them. You're ready for the

Last Summer the Major decided

100 D. C. employees
POST SURETY BOND
Case Workers of Public Assist.
ance Division Are In
cluded.

Nearly 100 District employees in po-
sitions of trust, including all case
workers of the Public Assistance Divi-
sion, have been required by the Com
missioners to post surety bonds, it was
revealed today.
Other employees are to be required to
post similar bonds. Under an act Of
Congress of June, 1885, the Commis-
sioners were empowered to decide what
workers should be bonded.
The record of the case, revealed to-
day, shows that 22 employees of the
Public Assistance Division filed formal
protest against the bonding plan,
claiming that it placed an unfair bur-
den on them, that they should not
have to be bonded, since they do not
handle actual cash disbursements, and
that If bonded the division should pay
the cost. They were overruled.
Welfare Director Elwood Street said
the position of the social workers was
that they were professional employees
and as such would perform their duties
honestly without the requirement of
the bond.
The bonds Of the social workers is
$4,000. Miss Alice M. Hill, relief di-
rector, has been bonded for $4,000. At
the same time these were bonded,
about two months ago, the Commis-
sioners required bonds of eight en-
ployes in the Office of Auditor Daniel j.
Donovan. William G. Wilding, an as
sistant auditor, was bonded for $1,000
and the others for $2,500 each.

but I see no offense in placing a bet"
Policeman Dellinger approached
three colored men at Seventeenth and
L streets yesterday afternoon, he testi-
fed. Noticing several number slips
in one of the mems hands, he grabbed
Crawford, whom he thought was
taking" the bet. It developed that
the lottery operator was one of the
men who fed when they noticed the

Philip and his brother look as
though they had been cut from the
same mold, but Fannie and Frances

thick, black hair which rises an inch
from the forehead and then rolls in
q heavy pompadour toward the back
Of the head. At the bottom of each
long upper lip is a thin line Of black

ip's without anybody being the wiser.
Memo learned to dance in Phoenix,
Ariz. He and Philip had moseyed
down to the Southwest from their ma
tive Pennsylvania and were mixing
drinks in Mexican drug store. i
became Neno's wont to halt on his
way home at night and watch the
colored boys dance in the street. BY

launched.

fined to Bellante duet Of buck and

woe, became so homesick after four

FOR FISCAL QUIZ
Commissioners to Outline
Burdens of Jacobs Plan
to Subcommittee.

The House Subcommittee on Ap-
preparations. in charge of the District
supply bill for the 138 fl i year,
prepared today to question the Com
missioners about their view on the
Jacobs plan for solving the fiscal re-
lations problem between the Fc 1eral
and District Governments.
In 1888 budget estimates on which
the subcommittee is holding hecr:lgs
preparatory to- framing an appropria-
ton bill are predicated OF. adoption
Of the Jacobs three-point fiscal re-
lationS formula. The subcommittee,
it was said. is anxious to learn from
the Commissioners themselves Just
how the application of the formula
would affect District revenues.
Donovan's Data Submitted.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, auditor
and budget officer, however, already
has given the subcommittee a pre-
liminary picture of the financial
plight facing the District in the COM
ing fiscal year if the jacob plan is
adopted. In a comprehensive 27-
page statement Donovan pointed out
there would be deficit of nearly
$10,0o000 in District revenues at the
close of the next fiscal year if the
budget recommendations for aprro-
priations totaling S47,500,000 are car
ried out and the Jacobs plan is put
into effect.
Opposition Already Known.
The Commissioners are known to
be strongly opposed to the Jacobs
plan. Chairman Collins of the sub
committee also has indicated he be-
ieves the formula to be a unsatis-
factory solution Of the fiscal relations
problem. He has promised to do his
utmost to give the District new
deal" in so far as the fiscal relations
problem is concerned.
Donovan's financial statement vas
one of the first matters taken under
consideration by the subcommittee at
its initial hearing. The three Com
missioners, Melvin c. Hazen, George
E. Allen and Col. Dan I. Sultan, sup
plemented his statement, and stressed
the need of all items included in the
budget estimates.
The subcommittee thus far has de-
voted its attention chiefly to the SAL
aries OF District employees.
