The Senate late yesterday agreed to the partial conference report on the deficiency appropriation bill, sub- mitted to it by Senator Warren. | Three items remain still in dispute | between the two houses, relating to | officials of the general accoun.ing o.ice. The conferees agreed ¢o the Senate amendment providing $26,000 for the Trepair of Calvert street bridge, with an amendment which directs that one-half of this appropriation’ shall be paid by the street railway com- i pany using the bridge. Other District items agreed to by the conferees were: For temporary employment of additional assistant | inspectors for the building inspection { division, $3,000; for postage for strict- ly official mail matter for the District government, $1.500; for maintenance of public convenience stations, ihclud- ing compensation of necessary em- | ployes, $2,300; for general supplies, etc, for the electrical department, $3,000; increase in the appropriation for fuel, gas and electric light and power for the fiscal year 1922, from $20,000 to $29.300; for compensation of jurors In the Police Court, $1,000; Children's Hospital, $7,000; increase 'from $6,700 to $10,000 in the appro- priation’ for Eastern Dispensary and Casualty Hospital: for payment of judgment ~ against the District, $2,436.26. 4 The conferees, however. struck from the bill the following District items put in by the Senate: An appropria- tion of $2.500 for @he District con- tingent and miscellaneous fund, the item of $1,000 for maintenance of the municipal lodging house and wood- shed, the increase of $500 in the item for heating offices, watchmen’s lodges and greenhouses at the propagating gardens, the House provision of $1,000 belng retained, and .the appropriation of $3.250 for laying water pipes ang installing two fire hydrants i the Zoological Park. The conferees eliminated a Senate anmiendment providing $150,000 for the immigration service. The House con- ferees agreed, however, to retention in the bill of the Senate amendments appropriating $27.439,000 for refund- ing internal revenue taxes illegally collected, and $158,000 for carrying into effect the Lampert act feorgan- izing the patent office personnel and revising salaries there.

It When you wash your child’s hair be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos con- tain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use s Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified in a cup or glass with a little warm water is all that is re- quired. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an_abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every par- ticle of dust, dirt and dandruff. You can get Mulsified at any drug store, and a few ounces will last everyone in the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. —Advertisement. 1 ASSOCIATION TO BOOST CAPITAL ISURGED BY PASSENGER EXPERT W. B. ‘Calloway Tells Commerce Men Publ_icity Drive Is Needed to Flood City With Visitors. Organization of a publicity associa- tion in Washington, to spread litera- tolling the beautles and attractions of the National Capltal, was urged last inight by W. B. Calloway, passenger trafiic manager of the Baltimore and Ohjo rallroad, speaking before the mohthly 'meeting of the Washington Hotel.~. “Members of the Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Merchants' and Manufacturers’ Association, Hotel Men's Association and other civic organizations should get together on this project,” said Mr. Calloway. “Work hard for the convention hall, which is now the paramount concern of civic Washington, but don't for an instant forget that the formation of some sort of a publicity association is of vital Importance to the city. “You will find one of these organiza- tions in practically all sections of the country. In California all parts of the state have a number of associa- is to advertise California. Tourists to Flood City. “Speaking of California, it is a much overrated state. Superlatives are used in advertising literature which are not borne out in actual conditions. Superlatives could well be used in describing Washington and not one of them would be over- stating the case. An association of this kind should be established in Washington at an early date. It must be done to take full advantages of the National Capital; the capital of the greatest nation, and the great- est capital of a nation. Seventy-two tourists’ parties * to Washington will be operated in the and Ohio from various parts of the country, said the speaker, in telling of the publicity plans of the railroad. Mr. Calloway id that the Balti- more and Ohio, in a campaign re- cently organized, sought to make it possible for persons in all parts of the United States to visit this city at a nominal expense. Rallroad Boosts Capit The Baltimore and Ohio, he said, was the first rallroad company to specialize on tours to the National Capital from west of Pittsburgh. One large tour would be worth $20,000 a day to the business men of Washing- ton, he asserted. One hundred and fifty thousand cir- culars have been sent out by the rallroad to_teachers in all parts of the United States. Twenty-three thou- sand requests have been received fo date, said Mr. Calloway, asking for the Baltimore and Ohio descriptive circular of the National Capital, a large number of these requests com- ing from persons who actually con- templated the trip. An Interesting demonstration of the telephone was given by employes of the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele- phone Company. Minlature switchboards, complete In efery particular and representing the Main and Cleveland exchanges, were|\used to convince the members of ti} chamber that the life of a telephone operator is not an easy one.

A benefit from the genlus and ability of its woman employes until it gives them the same opportunities that it gives men,” declared Mrs. Bessie Parker Brueggeman, member of the United States employes compensation commission, one of the speakers. She said that the government service has in it the highest type of women, women who work not only to earn their bread and butter, but actually to be part of the government they serve. ' Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the chil- dren’s bureau oY the Department of Labor, and Miss Mary Anderson, chief of the women's bureau of the same department, were other speakers. Miss Abbott said she ig ashamed to face, some of the workers in her bu- reau because she is not able to give them a fair day's pay for a fair day’s work. 3 ‘Worth of Unions. Miss Anderson told of the eighteen years she worked at a trade, and of the low wages paid, and said that she belonged to a union then, and belleves now more firmly than ever that organization is the best way to get results. She lauded the work being done to secure reclassification of the government service, expressing the belfef that it soon will become an actuality.

Beach, clerk of the Dise trict Supreme Court, today sent to the District jail the death warrant for the execution of John McHenry, twenty-four-year-old slayer of De- tective Sergt. Armstrong. The execu- tion of McHenry is scheduled for Fri- day. The only hope for a stay of the hanging would now seem to be in executive clemency. United States Attorney Gordon was in conference today with James A- Finch, pardon attorney of the Depart- ment of Justice. The prosecutor de- clined to discuss the nature of the conference, but it is understood that Maj. Gordon thinks the law should be allowed to take its course. As the code fixes hanging as the only pun- ishment for murder in the first de- gree and McHenry was convicted of that crime by a jury that heard all the evidence of insanity in his family history, Maj. Gordon is of the opinion that the execution should be carried out. The prisoner not only had a fair trial, Maj. Gordon said, but the con- viction had been affirmed by the Court of Appeals, which took occasion to praise the conduct of his defense by Attorney S. McComas Hawken. Aprons New models in Corner of H .
