REORGAN|zING'
or D. C. PUSHED
BY KENNEDY.
Local Government
Called Half f-baked'

Early action on a program Of re-
organizing the District government
to rid the city of "half-baked ad-
ministration" was advocated today
by Representative Ambrose j. Ken
nedy CD of Maryland.
Mr.. Kennedy, who is a member
of the House District Committee
and author of a reorganization
now before the committee, COM
planned that the local government
is run in a "lop-sided and ineffici-
ent manner"
HITS BUCK PASSING
Something has to be done,"
he said, "to stop this business of
passing the buck in the local
government. You never can find
anybody who is ready to take a
firm stand on anything, nor IS
there any one body in which au-
thority is concentrated"
The Maryland sCongressman'S
reorganization proposal contains
a provision for self-government,
with local suffrage and national
representation.
SURVEY SOUGHT
A $4,000 item is contained in
the 1899 District appropriation
bill for a survey to coordinate all
reorganization recommendations
made up to this time.
| The House already has ap.
proved the item, and the bill is
now awaiting Senate action.

The girl who is determined not to acquire single wrinkle or a network of fine lines around her eyes this summer just doesn't for get to carry sun goggles in her purse all of the time. She wouldn't think of sitting on beach, playing golf or riding in a car without them. Furthermore, if she would happen to forget to take them along on some fine trip, you won't catch her dash ing into just any store and picking up the cheapest ones she can find. She'll go back for her own or else go ahead and pay reasonable price for new ones.
 Eye specialists tell us that it's mistake to wear sun glasses which are so cheaply made that the glass is likely to be scratched or other wise imperfect. If you are deter mined to get bargain glasses, then at least take them out into the sum- light before you buy and look care- fully for scratches and other defects.
 If your eye doctor has told you to wear regular glasses all of the time, better have special sun goggles made from your own prescription. Or else get some really good ones which can be attached to your own spectacles.
 If you hate the idea of having all of your face except the small area nearest your eyes beautifully sum- tanned, then look for sun goggles which shut out the burning rays of the sun but not the ones which turn the skin brown. These eliminate any chance of ending up the sum- mer with monkey rings" around your eyes.
 Incidentally, whether you are con- scientious about wearing sun gog- gles or not, do put special eye cream or rich night cream around your eyes every night during the summer months. And to counteract the drying effects salt water and sunshine have on your hair, better get hot oil treatment before every shampoo.

 Anne Clark told the photograph CTS she was glad to see them. And then she and John Roosevelt said they would do anything the photog- raphers asked-if it was within rea- son. And they let the photograph CTS give the orders for four hours iii the glaring sun.
 When it was all over they said they had gotten a kick out of it all wished the men luck. and shook hands all the way around.
 Nothing about all that to make the photographers praise the young couple so highly.

ATROPHIC RHINITIS


 Dryness and irritation in the nos trils, absence of the normal mucous secretion that serves to keep the membrane protected in health, ant crust formation are characteristic symptoms of atrophic rhinitis HOarseneSs and constant hacking cough, impairment of the sense O. taste, and in some cases impair. ment of hearing accompany tht condition.
 First essential in treatment whether the "dry catarrh" is asso- ciated with bad odor or not, i: thoroughly cleansing of crusts anc secretions from the nasal passages night and morning, by means ol spray or douche or irrigation. Any simple, well warmed alkaline solu- tion may be used; a good one pre- pared at home is solution of 8 tablespoonful of borax, tablespoon full of sodium bicarbonate (saleratus baking soda) and a tablespoonful ol common salt( use rounded table spoonfuls) in pint of boiled water
 In using spray (atomizer), douche (Korkpatrick or Birmingham fiasal douche) or irrigation (flow from fountain syringe reservoir it is well to heed these general instructions.
 l. Always have the solution as warm as the body temperature or a little warmer.
 2. Stand or sit with head erect and direct spray or flow from nozzle straight back along floor of nasal passage.
 3. Learn to hold the throat and soft palate in the K" position as when saying "hike" with the "k' sound long retained in throat; this closes the passage into the throat from the nasal chamber, so that the head may be thrown back and the solution may reach the postnasal spaces without getting back into the throat; then the head may be bent forward again while excess of solu- tion drains from the nostrils. This same maneuver, when once learned permits thoroughly irrigation of the nasal cavity, even of the infant or young child, by allowing the solu- tion to enter through one nostril and drain from the opposite nostril Such nasal irrigation is valuable aid in treating various children's diseases, nobably diphtheria and scarlet fever, where the child is toe young to gargle.
 4. When using the nasal douche or irrigation do not attempt to draw the solution into the nasal passage as that may force material into the Eustachian aubes leading to the ears and cause serious ear trouble Merely allow the solution to flow through the passages, and from level not more than a few inches above the head.
 5. In any case, no matter whether the trouble is simple, hyper trophic or atrophic rhinitis, it i. unwise to continue indefinitely thu use of spray or other treatment. I any cleansing or medication of thu nasal mucous membrane seemi necessary as 8 matter of habit o routine, it is better to change iron one agent to another from time t'

hurt. In any case Mrs. Barton impudence is the one thing I should not permit for a second in any child.
 As in everything else, we should examine into sources. Impotence can flourish nicely without cause, but as often as not the boy or girl won't be sassy" unless they have the example set, or are stung to the point of evaporation.
 Child Must Hold Tongue
 It still is no excuse. Each of Us has to endure irritation. Each of us could follow poor example if we would. Why need we reduce our- selves to the level of offenders? Teacher says one rainy day, Johnny, you are stupid and sim ply don't know anything" And Johnny snipes back, Neither do you"
 Maybe the teacher has always been patient and polite, until to- day, but on the other hand she may have been offensive for weeks. Not likely, but 1t does happen. Maybe Johnny has been holding in, and then suddenly de- cided to speak up. It doesn't mat ter. He must keep on holding in.
 Father says, "You are thief and liar, Bill, for using my pen and losing it." And Bill says, "I must get it from you"
 You may not agree with me when say these children should keep their lips tight. But regard- less of sting, still think they should. Impotence becomes 8 habit, very bad one, and soon proves the easiest and most comfortable way of easing feelings. It undoes the lacings of control and character. I am not defending either teacher or parent, for theirs is form of im- pudence, too. They should choose their words better. Things can be said without the deliberate cut that offends the child beyond bearing. l NEWT. rry,> Ix-. IA m
