Newcomer to Federation,
LAWYER Heads Utilities Unit

A graduate of the University of Chi
cago Law School and member of he
bar since 1905, he took part in nti-
CATION over utility rates as city at
torney Of Hutchinson, Kans.
Il think" said Mr.. Connaughton,
that can speak for the Utilities
Committee of the federation in say
ing that we desire to approach the
problem of the relation Of the citi-
zens of the District to its various
utility interests In full realization
that invested capital must have a
fair return on It's investment and
that the public served by the utility
Is entitled to maximum service for
the price paid.
Il am now Of the opinion that
certain adjustments can be made
in the fares of the Capital Transit
Co. which will furnish to the people
OF Washington cheaper transporta-
ton without diminishing its eff
ciency," he continued.
Mr.. Connaughton Is legal repre-
sentative of the Vegetable Growers
Association Of America and the Ma
tional Association of Hothouse Veg
etable Growers. This work, he said,
required him to appear before con-
gressional committees. He has han
died several contested election cases
before the Senate and House.
Mr.. Connaughton is married and
has five children. four of them mar
r1ed. He Is a Mason and a member
OF the Columbia Heights Christian
Church.

In the ranks of the newcomers
who have been given important po-
sitions in the Federation of Citizens
Associations Is John H. Connaugh-
ton, vice chairman Of the Public
Utilities Committee.
A veteran lawyer, with back
ground in public utility matters, Mr..
Connaughton is chairman of the
Public Utilities Committee Of the
Petworth Citizens Association,
which he represents in the fedora
ton. A vigorous speaker, Mr.. Con-
ings before the District Public Utili-
ties Commission and before a num-
ber of congressional committees.
He participated last week in the
hearings before the PUG on the
question of selling tokens on the
transit line at the rate of three for
Is cents.
1--WE feel that permitting the sale
Of these tokens in multiples OF six or
in groups of six only is discrimina-
ton against those in our city who
are in the low-income groups" he
said. "We do not feel that it is fair
to adopt program which de-
prives some of our citizens of the
privilege Of using the facilities OF
the transit company at sHs cents per
ride simply because they are unfor-
tunate."
Mr.. Connaughton's experience in
utility matters goes back some years.

The league will start the second
half of It's season team-of-four
series Of games next Tuesday. These
will be continued every week until
May, interrupted only by one pair
game each month for master points.
The ratings made In the playoff
games will be added to the percent
ages made in the first half of the
season series. This will enable the
Hamlin team, winners of the first
half, to start off well ahead OF other
foursomes. The grand trophy to be
awarded at the close will be the
Luther Stewart Cup offered by the

CHAPTER XIV.
Don't Let Yourself Go!

This is no time to let nature take
its course. Even II you are buster
than you ever have been, even If
you have less money than you ever
thought would keep body and soul
together, it takes a lot more hours
and much more money to do q re-
pair job than an upkeep one.
II you put off until next week
what you ought to do simply because
yon cannot afford it, you'll find
yourself in need of a set of really
chi-chi treatments to whip you into
shape for an unexpected furlough.
Besides, you may be able to afford
it even less next week than now, at
the rate things are going.
Don't think because he knows you
have been having hard time while
he's been away from home he will
excuse a sloppy figure or broken
nails or a scalp in search of slim
ulation. Man fashion, he'll expect
you to look twice as beautiful as
ever before when he comes home.
First, because he has been think
ing about you for many weeks re-
moved from the body polite itself,
and the image suffered no chapped
skin or excess weight or frowsy hair.
You grow lovelier with his loneli-
ness, more dear to his memory as
the inevitable trials and frustra-
tons of his regimented life besiege
him. Every soldier claims that the
girl he left behind is beautiful. What
| a glamorous creature you would be
If you only looked half as pretty as
the man at the front remembers
you.
Then when he sees you again 1t is
as If for the first time. Your eyes,
| your skin, your figure-he looks at
these as If he had just been intro
/ duced to you.
You must do very well, indeed, II
/ you want to pass muster.
~
Also your husband is going to look
younger, simmer, more dashing than
( he has in years. What is it about a
uniform that seems to roll age off a
! mail llhN a bNiNoIOElllS So4CilbdA al a
movie montage? Some woman once
| said it was because it made all the
men look like big Eagle Scouts. You
may be no believer in military life
| as health cure for husbands, but
during the months of training, be-
fore they go off into hard, danger
Gus, active combat, most men look
better and healthier for their camp
life than they ever did before.
If you don't want to be taken for
the dowdy elder sister, or even
heaven forbid-for his young look
ing mother you'll have to follow a
regime to compensate for his. You
can't let last-minute repairs do the
/ work. You can't scramble to beau
/ ty parlor each time you hear leave
is pending. You can't expect an
hour or two in professional hands
/ to correct two months of doldrums.
What you want is grain of hu-
NOR, two grains of salt and a barrel
of routine.
The humor will stand you in good
stead for all this boom decay about
how beauty Is womans duty In
wartime" This is an arniable little
fiction inspired. o doubt, by lip-
