The White House is the Presi-
dents Washington home. It houses
social affairs which take in many
thousands of peop,o during the So
cial season. 1t is there hat every
feminine visitor to the capitol city
goes for whatever degree of reco-
gnition she is able to command She
may have to be satisfied with only
a longing look from the outside. or
she may have a letter Of introduc-
ton which viii allow her to view
some of the more public rooms She
might even know the right people
and thereby have an opportunity to
stand in line and shake hands with
the President and First Lady. It
all matters so much, don't you
know.
The Presidents offices are also
in the White House. There he meets
with members of his departments
and representatives Of the press.
Labor leaders, industrialists, dip,o-
mats and many other public figures
find their way to the White House.
1t was the first public building in
the National Capital George Wash
ington laid the cornerstone in 1892.
He lived to see it completed, but
never called it home John Adams
was its first occupant.
In 1914 the White House was
burned by the British. The old
walls were used in the rebuilding.
and were covered with marks Of
the fire. To obliterate them, the
building was painted white. 1t then
became known as the White House.
The words, Executive Mansion,
might not be clear to many Amer
leans. but the White House is
known to all. And | hope some OF
you did not know that the White
House and the Capitol are nearly
two miles apart.

ARIZONA
IN WASHINGTON
BY BOB MERKLEY

Perhaps I failed to see in the
history lesson what the rest of the
c.ass found clear enough, but |
got the impression that the Capitol
and the White House were both
represented by the same pile of
granite That was wrong. Nearly
two miles Of downtown Washington
lies between them.
The President runs the White
House, and the Capitol belongs to
Congress. (No heckling, please, this
article concerns buildings.) Excep-
ting Inauguration of the President,
the Capitol holds receptions and no
gala-days. Inauguration is held on
the Capitol steps.

Excessive Speed
Is Expensive

Excessive speed is generally con-
ceded to be dangerous to life and
property. but few people realize
that there is another disadvantage
to fast driving tremendously in
creased operating costs.
Grover Hall, local Ford dealer,
was advised by Jack Young, Ford
branch service manager, that fl
cures now avail able show that GER
tain automobiles driven at high
speeds consume approximately
twice as much gasoline and seven
times more oil than cars travelling
at a moderate rate over the same
route
Recently the American Automo-
bile Association presented these
figures on gas and OF, consumption
in support of its campaign against
high speed on the nations high
wavs. and the AAA findings dem
cnstrate that driving at moderate
sDeed will effect great economies in
the cost of operating an automobile
not to mention the matter of safe
ty.
Speed tests revealed that a cal
which gets IS miles to the gallon
al 80 miles an hour will get out
1915 miles at go miles an hour, ant
only Sc miles to the gallon at 81
miles an hour-,ess than half thi
mileage obtained at the lower rate

The Coolidge Beauty Shoppe, first
established here seven years ago
by Mrs Dollie Willborn, in her
home, has grown with Coolidge un-
til it was first necessary for Mrs.
Wi born to secure down town
quarters in the S & B Barbershop,
and four years ago the shop was
moved to it's present location in the
R. j. Jones office building where
the business was conducted with
a steadily increasing patronage.
Mrs. Tom Edwards, who worked in
the shop, purchased the business a
year ago from Mrs. Wilborn, and
in April of this year Miss Moro
Beagle of Tucson became associat-
ed with Mrs. Edwards, her speciality
being the famous Wendell dry
climate cosmetics, manufactured at
Tucson and especially suitable to
the Arizona climate. The business
has increased until it now becomes
necessary to secure larger quarters.
and arrangements have been made
to locate in the new San Carlos
Theatre building, where the Cooli-
dge Beauty Shoppe will formally
open for business on August the
Bird with all new fixtures and
equipment Miss Betty Richards.
viii continue with the shop as
hair stylist. No expense has been
spared in fitting and furnishing the
new shop with the very latest
equipment. Mr.. Ernie Lindeman,
interior decorator, is in charge OF
the Arrangement and decorations of
the shop, there will be six individ-
ual booths and a reception room
for customers.
The front and interior decora-
tions are ultra-modern both in color
and design. The front Will be DlacK,
with silver trim, and round wind
ows, the flooring is black marble
composition, walls and ceiling are
IN designs of seven different colors,
each separated by narrow strip
of silver color All fixtures are
built by Mr.. Lindemann in stream
lined designs, the color will be
ivory with stipple finish. No ex-
pense is being spared to make this
shop one of beauty and comfort for
it's patrons. That Coolidge appreci-
ates and approves of this new
modern enterprise as a major addi-
ton to it's business concerns is
evidenced by a full page advertise
ment appearing in this issue, and
everyone is invited to attend the
opening on Wednesday afternoon
and evening, August the 3rd.

Behind the Scenes In

BUSINESS-No let up appeared
last week in the slow but persist
ent march toward recovery which
was signa'ized a month ago by a
dramatic upswing in prices of cor
porate stocks and commodities.
Shoe rttailers along with other deal
ers in consumer goods, reported a
distinct improvement in sales. With
shoe prices generally lower than
lest year. shoe merchants are max
ing every effort to duplicate this
year the 1887 sales volume of near
lv three pairs Of each person in the
r. s. From Detroit came word that
July sales of new automobiles may
be better than the June total OF
1SS.OO0 cars. Meanwhile. it is re-
ported that used car dealers are
meeting with success in reducing
the number Of second hand cars on
the market. News from both the
steel and electric power industries
IS encouraging. Steel mills are op-
Grating at SO per cent of capacity,
the highest rate thus far in 1898
and power production last week
was the highest since January 30.

The L. S. Treasury, it was dis
closed asst week, will ask Congress
to remove future federal, state and
municipal bonds from the tax eX-
empt cl rs, to extend the income
tax to federal employees and to
permit states to tax federal bonds
and incomes of federal emp oyees
within their borders. Most business
men consider this a worthy aim.
Taxation of government bonds
should help businessmen to raise
capital. Suppose a retired business
man has $10.0O0.000 to invest. If
he puts it in government bonds at
3 per cent his annual return would
be 5000 ,OO0 upon which no tax would
be levied under present laws. In
order to give him this much net
rotlrn, private business would
have to offer him at least 10 per
cert on his money, or $1,OOO,OOO 4
year. Because after he'd finished
paving the approximately $675,OOO
federal and state income tax on the
81 600 600 his actual income would
be whitfield to $325.OOO. Obviously
men of wealth at present are not
anxious TO risk their money IN
private business when in many in
stances they can get the same net
return by investing in relatively
safe government bonds.

HiIIcrest Citizens Group
Declines to Back Any
Specific Individual.

The Hillcrest Citizens Association
last night indorsed a proposal calling
on President Roosevelt to appoint tc
the post of District Civilian Commits
sioner, which falls vacant September
], any bona fide citizen of the District
of merit and commendable record
whom he sees fit.
William NICK. Clayton, prominent
civic leaders, were mentioned for in
dorsement, but the association de-
clined to state a preference.
A vote of confidence in the judg-
ment of Sampson Bass. chairman OF
the Schools Committee, was given by
the association on q proposal of the
School Board to move portable
school to the site of the Stanton
School to provide for a kindergarten
class in Hillcrest Mr.. Bass told the
association that it was either port
able school or no kindergarten.
Foster Backs Acceptance.
IT realize the evils of portable
structures. said Charles Foster, asso-
citation president, but it seems that a
bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush and if we have no alternative in
the matter, we should accept the
portable"
The Schools Committee reported
that Robert L. Haycock, assistant sup
erintendent of schools, had said the
erection of an Broom school building
at the corner of Alabama avenue and
Pennsylvania avenue Sc. was under
consideration.
The association urged the commit
tee to redouble its efforts to secure q
new school building for the Hillcrest
area.
H. H. Daniels was appointed by Mr..
Foster as historian of the association
at the request of the Southeast Coun-
Gil; his work will be to unearth all the
tradition and history of men and
places in Hillcrest and report them to
the council.
Boy Scouts Aided.
The association voted an appropria-
ton of $40 to Boy Scout Troop 68 to
help defray the expenses of their two
day outing June 25 and 26 to Bull
Run, Va. The troop is made up of
the sons of Hillcrest people.
The resignation of R. H. Worrall,
delegate from Hillcrest to the Fedora
ton of Citizens Associations, was
accepted by Mr.. Foster. In leaving
the association to 60 to Hawaii on an
extended tour of duty, Mr.. Worrall
offered a final suggestion to the asso-
citation. He recommended that a
pamphlet be compiled to be given to
new members and to be used in the
solicitation of new members, contain
= ing history of the achievements of
the association in gaining improve
ments and concessions for Hillcrest
Mr.. Foster thanked him for his meri-
torious service in the name of the
association.
The association adjourned to con-
vene again in September.

Slain Skunk Dies Under Cabin.
And Occupants Retreat Fast

The next time Charles l.. Keneipp

with a lons-ranss rife and in an

Then again he may never draw q

The reason is that he shot one
sunday But he wasn't sure of it
not for 80 seconds or so.

Saturday they visited the cabin with

animal emerge from beneath the place
about 6Usk.
1t couldn't be skunk, thought Mr..
Keneipp, because q skunk has q
stripe down its back. This only had
a white spot on It's head.
The strange thing hied itself of
while MIR. Keneipp pondered over its
ancestors, so he went in and cleaned
a rifle. Tomorrow, he figured, per-
haps the thing would again sneak
from under the cabin.
At dusk Sunday Mr. Keneipp watt
ed until the unlimited guest made
another appearance. Just as it thrust
its head out he blazed away. 1t was
a bull's-eye, or skunk's 's-eye as it
later developed, and the poor thing
was knocked back under the cabin.
