‘ASHINGTON TO BE MADE
MOST BEAUTIFUL CAPITAL.
Congress has set out to make
‘ashington the most beautiful capi-
1 in the world.
A wave of enthusiasm for accom-
ishment of this goal apparently has
vept both Senate and House and
rtually all traces of a former reluc-
nce to spend huge sums of money
r public buildings in the District of
>lumbia has disappeared.
The pledge of President Hoover to
nd full support to the movement is
slieved to assure a continuation of
ie huge program already under way. .
Congress is now committed to the
sting $265,000,000, and this pro-
1e next few years.
The urge to make the city the most
sautiful of all the world’s capitals
oparently springs from the senti-
ental interest of Congress in the
at of government and the practical
slief that it is cheaper for the gov-
-nment to build than rent.
But the American tourist, who
rifts into the national capital by
-ain and automobile, perhaps is more
ssponsible than any other agency.
With the advent of automobile
yuring came expressions of disap-
ointment from people in every sec-
on of the country, and from all
-alks of life. They usually made
jeir entrance on historic Pennsyl-
ania avenue, and found it a wide
rab street, lined with cheap business
puses and almost exclusively occu-
ied in one section by Chinese curio
nops and laundries.
The increase in the number of gov-
rnment employees from 35,000 to 70,-
00, and the likelihood of further ex-
ansion of government activities in
Vashington, has further spurred the
ovement. Nearly 25,000 employees
ow work in temporary or rented
uarters, some of them fire-traps and |
jsufferably hot in summer.
In launching its great building pro-
ram, Congress has reverted to the
riginal plan of Maj. Pierre Charles
/Enfant, French army engineer, who
sas chosen to lay out the city more
han a hundred years ago.
The new building plan revolves
round the capitol building, already
cclaimed the most beautiful capitol
n the world. A great mall, lined
sith beautiful government buildings,
s to connect the capitol with the
Lincoln Memorial, skirting the White
jouse. A great parkway is to be
juilt between the union passenger
tation and the capitol.
To redeem Pennsylvania avenue
nd make it worthy of its history,
Jongress has bought a triangle with
, half-mile frontage on the avenue at
. cost of $25,000,000. Senator Smoot,
R) of Utah, estimates that it will
ost $200,000,000 to complete the
riangle development plan. In the
arrying out of this scheme, the gov-
srnment will demolish a modern 12-,
tory effice building and scores of
esser structures.
One of the most extraordinary
rojects in the “capital beautiful”
rogram, is a 200-foot parkway from
‘he Potomac river to George Wash-
ngton’s home at Mount Vernon.
Among the building projects now
inder way and their cost are:
Arlington Memorial bridge, connect-
ng Arlington cemetery with the
City, $14,575,000; enlargement of
:apitol grounds, $6,244,000: Supreme
ourt site and building, $7,500,000;
Department of Agriculture buildings,
$8,100,000; Department of Commerce
ouilding, $17,500,000; Internal Rev-
snue building, $10,000,000. New build-
ngs eventually will be constructed
for the Post-office Department, De-
oartment of Justice, Labor Depart-
ment, Navy Department, and the
oresent State and War Department
ouilding either will be remodelled or
abandoned.

| STATE HAS NEW SYSTEM
FOR AUTO TAGS.
Detailed plans which will be used
in the numbering of automobile li-
cense plates for 1930 have been an-
nounced by the Department of High-
ways. Twenty letters of the alpha-
bet will be used and 99,999 will be
the highest numeral combination is-
sued. Highway officials intimate
that the new system will result in a
saving of approximately $70,000
yearly in materials and postage. The
plates next year, as before, will
be made of steel. Bids were receiv-
ed on aluminum plates which are
much lighter in weight but were re-
jected because of the higher cost.
One of the chief benefits that High-
way officials see in the new system is
marked for special license numbers
and combinations. Low numbers will
lose much of their charm. At pres-
ent to get a number less than 1000,
either in the first numerical or “A”
series, requires the approval of the
Governor's office. Next year anyone
may get a low number without get-
ting the endorsement of the county |«
chairman.
New tags will be six by ten inches
and six by twelve in the entire pas-
senger, commercial, dealer and omni-
bus series. The only tags of the old
maximum size, six by fifteen, will be
the traction engine series of which
5,299 are ordered.
The first series of passenger tags
will run from one to 99,999 in the
same manner as the 1929 series.
“A” will mark 100,000 instead of the
now familiar “million” series.
Beginning with A, the second se-
ries will run to A999, followed by B
to B9999 and soon to Z9999. The let-
ter will then slide back to second po-
sition,, a new series starting OA to
9A999, OB to 9B999, etc, to 97999.
Third position series, the letter
serving as the third digit, will begin
with OOA and continue to 99Z99.
The fourth position series will run
OO0OA to 9999Z.
The only series in the passenger
class employing two letters on a
plate is the last, beginning with
AAL, 2, 3, etc., to AA999; ABI, 2, 3,
to AB999 and so on to SZ999. It will
pe seen that comparatively small
numbers will represent the highest
or latest tag issued for the year.
Classification for fifth will follow
alphabetical subdivisions. Tag shows,
although it may be the 994, 305th to
be issued.
Commercial and dealer licenses
will be recognized at once by an un-
varying rule of carrying two letters
after the number. Commercials will
begin with OOAA and run to 99VE,
various classes of trucks each allot-
ted individual letter combinations.
Dealers tags will provide for 30,000
total issue but the possible series will
by no means be exhausted. The 1930
issue will run from OOKA to 999YK.
Busses will continue to carry the
distinction 70” series, ranging from

smile that is the outcome of the sun-
shine that exists if only as a smoul-
dering spark, in the heart of the most '
miserable person on earth. Now let
that hidden sunshine radiate from
your eyes.
” “What's the use of that?”
Well, for one thing because it 1s
contagious; that’s why. It will ac}
tually radiate forces of life just as
the sun warms the heart of Nature
in the springtime. It sends the dark-
ness scurrying out of the people’s
lives and that is surely worth while.
A kindly smile in the eye will help
to drive the shadows from our lives
too, for the gloomiest shadows can-
not stand the genuine smile that
comes from the heart. Now the
smile we want you to cultivate is the
smile in the eye, in which there is
no apparent change in the features
which are in repose. Uncover the
joy in “the heart and let it out
through the eyes. It may seem me-
chanical to think of adjusting the
eyes to let the smile through, yet it
is certainly a help.
One of the great teachers of sing-
ing advises his pupils “to shade with
the eyes.” It puts the whole anat-
omy of the face, mouth, and throat
into a harmonious balance, in prop-
er adjustment to produce the perfect
tone. Then when the pupil feels the
thrill of that tone, he ever after-
wards unconsciously adjusts himself,
he feels only that tone and lives in
it.
A joyous laugh is a beautiful
sound and one that is rarely heard.
It is also a very fine exercise and
rouses into action the forces that
help and heal all through the body.
But do not laugh too much; some en-
ergy is lost that way and one is al-
ways liable to reaction. We can’t be
laughing all the time, it would wear
ence.

POLICE CARS, BULLET PROOF.
Bullet-proof bandit chasing auto-
mobiles soon will make their appear-
ance in Pittsburg, equipped with the
latest type of guns and tear gas.
Gunmen there are straight shots,
the police believe. Chasing desper-
adoes through the streets in an au-
tomobile that is as open to attack as
a squad car is not to the liking of
police there.
The new machines will be armored,
with turret slots for guns, and will
be equipped with bullet-proof glass.
Peter P. Walsh, superintendent of
police, satisfied himself that the glass
is shatter proof, by exhaustive tests
firing a 38-calibre revolver point
blank at a pane. The glass is bullet-
proofed by layers of celluoid.
To protect the tires from being
shot, they will be equipped with steel
drops.
One of the squad cars will be kept
cruising the city twenty-four hours a
day. The other will be kept for
emergency calls.
“We must protect our men against
desperate bandits,” Walsh explained.
“We can do this only with absolute

FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
Cruel people are ever cowards in emer-
gency.—Swift.
—=Salt is one of the greatest beauty
aids. It is used for more purposes as
a beautifier and cleanser than prob-
ably any other product. Renee Ad-
oree is a staunch advocate of salt and
its many uses.
“My daily beauty ritual utilizes
salt in several ways,” Miss Adoree
related. “It is always on hand and
doesn’t have to be put up at the drug
store or shopped for at the beauty
counters.
“First, I use it to bathe my eyes.
A lage pinch dissolved with water
in an eyecup soothes the eyes and
helps make them bright and shin-
ing. For the teeth it is splendid, al-
though it should not be used too of-
ten. Three or four times a week I
brush my teeth with salt to make
,them glisten. Another oral use for
salt is as a mouth wash and as a
gargle.
“Nothing is more refreshing and
invigorating than a salt rub-down
after a tiring day. After a luke-
warm bath, soak a towel in a basin
of water in which has been dissolved
a half cup of salt. Wring it almost
dry and rub the body vigorously,
then let it dry naturally. A dry salt
rub-down is also repuvenating. Keep
a towel handy that has been soaked
in the salt solution and use it when
you haven't time for a bath.”
Another product which Miss Ad-
oree uses as a beauty lotion is the
homely lemon. For whitening and
softening the skin it has no peer, she
declares.
“Undiluted lemon juice is excel-
lent for the neck and shoulders,” she
said, “and also for the hands, arms
and elbows. After using it, sponge
off with milk or water. For the face,
diluted lemon juice is good, using
one-half lemon to a pint of water.
| This need not be sponged off.”
—New undies are not as scanty as
a few seasons ago, for they are fol-
lowing the general trend of feminine
frills, ruffles and circular flounces.
They are also much more elaborate,
with heavy trimmings of lace or em-
broidery.
A lovely new lingerie material is
called “tigress,” which is a very fine
silk voile but as durable as its name
implies. It comes in all the charm-
ing new shades used for undies as
well as new printed patterns which
are very popular for lingerie. White
satin is also being much used, trim-
med with bands of fine linen.
The three-piece model continues to
be the most popular, knickers, bodice
and slip in one article, with the
waistline coinciding with that of the
srock worn over it and the slip cut
on the same lines as the skirt.
