"For three years or more I was troubled
with pimples and blackheads. At first my
face would itch and burn and then the
pimple* would break out. They looked al
most aa if I had measles, causing great dis
figurement . They would make my face very
red and tore. Then they festered and came
to a head and large boils would come on
my chin and nose.
" | also had dandruff which caused my
walp to itch am! burn. It itched and burned
?>o that 1 had to scratch it until it was irri
tated. The dandruff scaled off and showed
plainly in my hair. It also caused my hair
to break off and become \ery thin. 1 used
several remedies which did not cure and
gave but little relief. After 1 received a fnn
sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment I

UTILITIES COMPANY
TO THY HEW PLAN
May Present New Financing
Scheme in Lieu of One
Rejected.
A new scheme for financing its oper
ations for the next fifty years, in lieu
of the ten-million-dollar'bond issue pro
posal to which the public utilities com
mission refused to give its approval, may
be presented to the commission by the
Washington Utilities Company within the
next two or three weeks.
Following the refusal last week of
the utilities board to grant the company's
request for a rehearing on the merits
j of the bond-issue plan, but two methods
i of procedure are now open to the cor
poration, according to officials of that
concern. One is to appeal the commis
sion s decision In the courts, while the
other is to present an entirely new
financing plan, which will^not TSke into
account certain stock owned yy the
company which the public serv=k!e board
decided it has no right to under the .La
I- ollette anti-merger law.
i In view of the delay usually attendant
I upon legal proceedings, it is more than i
I likely that the latter course will be j
i followed, according to information ob-1
| talned through authoritative sources.
No Deision by Company.
lr- ?
. vxardiner L. Boothe, secretary of the j
I Washington Utilities Company, last
i "ight stated that he had informed the
i other officials of the corporation of the
: commission's refusal to grant a rehear
ing, but, as yet, no decision has been j
reached as to what will be the com
pany's next move.
Although Coi. Chester Harding, chair
mifn of public utilities commission,
v.ill be_absent from the city for a month,
: ttiere is to be no let-up in the work of
tn?; commission, it was stated yester- j
During Col. Harding's absence,
. ommissioner Siddons will act as chair-i
man. The public service board, it is I
learned, probably will render an early
decision as to whether it has jurisdic
tion over local taxicab companies. In
event it decides these companies are
common carriers and come under its
jurisdiction, the commission, it is an
nounced, will look into the question of
taxicab rates with the object of order
ing any changes in the tariffs which it
considers should be made.

CUP IS NOW IN n
First Article Sent by Parcel
Post Placed Among Nation's
Historic Relics.
The silver cup commemorative ot the
inauguration of the parcel post system
in the United States has recently been
deposited in the United States National
Museum by Postmaster Morgan of New
York city.
In recording: the event of the beginning
of this service, which has proved, even
in its brief duration, one of the most
useful factors in the service of the pub
lic, former Postmaster General Hltch
cock purchased a loving cup, which he
sent through the lirst delivery of the
parcel post service to Postmaster Mor
gan of New York city, the morning of
January 1, 1013. This cup has since been
engraved with the history of its origin
and service, and placed in the division of
history of the United States National
Museum by Postmaster Morgan as a
memorial of the opening of the new
postal service.

and quite plain. It stands eight Inches

fourths inches across the top. Following
the standard type of loving cup, it has
two handles, and an inscription reads as
follows:
"This cup was the first article sent by
the parcel post in the United States. It
was forwarded to Postmaster Edward
M. Morgan of New York city by Post
master General Frank II. Httchcock, who
inaik-d It in person at the Washington
city post ortlce immediately after mid
night on the morning of January 1, 11)13.

Wiles of Englishmen Fail to
*
Halt McLoughlin and
Hackett.
WIMBLEDON, England, July -6.?As
the result of today's victory by Maurice
E. McLoughlin ol" San Frnclsco and Har
old H. Hackett of New York over H. Ro
per Barrett and C. P. Dixon in the dou
bles match the United States team leads
by two matches to one in the struggle for
the possession of the Dwight F. Davis in
ternational lawn tennis trophy and re
quires only one more victory in the two
remaining singles matches to carry off the
cup.
The match went to its full extent of
Ave sets, of which the Americans took
three to their opponents' two, the score
reading 5-7, 0-1, 2-6, 7-6, 6-4.
Wiles of Englishmen Fail.
The English defenders, who began to
play tennis together when McLoughlin
was still in knickerbockers, tried all the
wiles of which they are masters, but
without avail. McLoughlin had Recovered
his form and lost only one of his service
games. Once Hackett played the game
which his opponents liked by feeding
them low volleys at the net, where the
English veterans formed an absolute
stone wall. They made every possible re
turn to Hackett, recognizing in him the
weak line of the American defense.
Although often tempted. McLoughlin did
not poach on his partner's preserves, oft
en heroically allowing hlni to take the
overhead balls which he himself loves to
smash. Toward the end of the match
Hackett became more sure In his volleys
and lobs which had been falling short be
fore.
Smashes His Racket.
A moment later McLoughlin smashed
his racket in the fourth set and the Brit
ons were within a point of winning the
set and the match, but the Callfornian
never faltered and pulled his own service
out of the Are.
If the draw is adhered to for the sin
gles to be played Monday McLoughlin will
fa?e Charles P. Dixon, who was defeated
by Williams In Friday's match, while the
young Harvard player will be sent
against John C. "Parke, who took the Cal
ifornian's measure Friday.
Neither of the Americans has, Mther in
the present series or in the all-England
cluunpionshlp this year, played against
his opponent In the singles matches to be
contested Monday.
Kaiier Gives Up His Outing.
BERLIN, July 26.?It was announced to

NO TRIP TO FRANCE
BY LIEUT. MILLING
Army Aviator Cannot Be
Spared to Attend Races at
Rheims in September.
WILL REMAIN HERE
TO TEST NEW MACHINES
I
Harold Xantner to Take His Place
and Handle Largest Horsepower
Motor for This Country.
Owing to the local changes in the
army aviation situation, It has been de
cided that Lieut. Thomas Milltng. who
was to be allowed to go to France to
fly the American challenger in the
Gordon-Bennett aviation race at Rheims.
in September, cannot be spared from
this country. The leave that was grant
ed him for the trip will not, therefore,
be given, and he will remain on this
side to test out some of the higher
powered machines that are being bought
for the army this summer.
It has been settled that Harold Kantner
of the Molssant Company, who was fly
ing at College Park last summer, will
go to France and handle the American
machine. This aeroplane is to have a
200-horsepower engine, the largest horse
power that has yet been announced for
the race. The Gordon-Bennett race will
not be flown till September 29, so Kant-_
ner will have about two months in
which to practice handling the big ma
chine.
Capt. W. I. Chambers, in charge of
navy aviation, has just returned from
the Curtlss factory, at Hammondsport,
and tells one of the latest stories about
Glenn Curtiss, who has been well known
in Washington ever since he started fly
ing. Curtiss makes motors, and when
ever he gets hold of a strange one al
ways has to pull it apart to see how
the wheels go round.
Brings Latest Curtiss Story.
He got a new one recently and decided
he would Improve it a little by putting an
extra release valve on it. The motor
proved quite economical of fuel, and
Curtiss declared he could fix it to run
an automobile to Bath and return, six
teen miles, on a gallon of gasoline.
It is more or less like a big family at the
factory and flying school. They gave Cur
tiss the laugh at his claim, and he
promptly bet $100 he could do it. He
was Instantly taken up, and a lot of
the workmen and students made side
bets of hats and trousers and the like
on the event.
They started one evening with two gal
lons of gasoline In the tank and Capt.
Chambers was made referee and sent
along. He says that after running the
auto for a while Curtiss remarked
dreamily that he hated to take the money
from the boys. After thinking it over,
he said he had decided to pool the
money and buy a cup for the furtherance
of aviation. This was the chief topic
of conversation on the ride, and Bath
had not been reached.
Gave the Laugh Too Soon.
When they returned, the referee opened
the drain tap on the two-gallon tank and
only a trickle of gasoline escaped. The
crowd gave Curtiss the laugh, but he
leaned negligently on the machine and
asked pleasantly if any of them wanted
to increase their bets. Nobody did and
he laughed and took his thumb off the
vent hole in the tank and enough gaso
line escaped to show that he had made
the round trip over hilly country on three
quarts and a pint.
The cup has since been bought and
has been put up as a Lrophy at the Ham
mondsport factory.
It has been decided that the tests of
the new army aeroplanes to be bought
this summer will take place at the Wright
factory in Dayton. All of the foreign
motors to be used are much higher horse
power than have been used before in
army machines. The trials will take
place about the middle of September.
Lieut. Thomas Milling will witness them
on behalf of the army.
CAMPAIGN BOOK ISSUED
TO PROMOTE EDUCATION
Notable Utterances on Subject by
Prominent Men Are
Given.
As an aid to the campaign in behalf of
better educational facilities, the United
States bureau of education has just issued
a bulletin: "Expressions on Education by
American Statesmen and Publicists." The
book Is a collection of notable utterances
on education by prominent Americans
from the earliest days to the present.
Beginning with Frauklin. Washington,
Adams and Jefferson, all of whom were
firm believers in popular education, the
document quotes opinions on education
from a long line of distinguished Amer
icans, including John Jay. Madison. Mon
roe. Albert Gallatin. DeWkt Clinton,
Archibald Murphy, "father of the North
Carolina common school"; Calhoun, Web
Bter, Buchanan, Thaddeus Stevens, the
champion of public schools in the early
days of Pennsylvania; Edward Everett,
George Peabody, the philanthropist;
Horace Mann and M. B. Lamar, presi
dent of the republic of Texas.
Coming to more modern times, the fol
lowing are represented: William H. Sew
ard. Robert E. Lee. who gave the last
years of his life to the cause of educa
tion and urged the "thorough education
of all classes of the people": Lincoln,
who viewed education as "the most lm
i nortant subject which we as a people
carf be engaged In"; Charles Sumner.
! Calvin Wiley, who considered it the last
ing honor of his state that "her public
schools survived the terrible shock of
war": Gen. Grant, who commended the
nroeress of the public schools in a mes
sage to Congress": Rutherford B.
Hayes, Jenator Benjamin Harvey Hill
of Georgia, who said that "education
i?? the one subject for which no people

To Extend Civil Service.
Senator Sterling of South Dakota has
offered an amendment to the tariff bill
to place under the civil service those em

the collection of the income tax. As the
bill now stands there is no provision plac

PLAN TO EDUCATE
THE BLIND CHILDREN
New Commissioners Consider
ing Enlarging School
System.
DISTRICT PARENTS FORCED
TO GO TO BALTIMORE
Dr. Davidson Says He Is in Favor of
Idea Under Certain
Conditions.
Public education of blind children in the
District of Columbia may be included in
the policies to be vigorously advocated by
the new board of District Commissioners.
Need of t'ie enlargement of the present
school system so as to provide for those
who are afflicted with loss of sight Is
under consideration by the municipal
heads, and a thorough inquiry will be in
stituted to determine whether Congress
shall be asked for an appropriation for
this purpose.
Prior to commencing work on the esti
mates the Commissioners will reach con
clusions in regard to a number of policies
which the new administration may at
tempt to carry out immediately. Free
education of blind children is one of them.
While no intimation has been given as to
what may be the attitude of the Com
missioners concerning this proposal, there
is believed to be strong probability of the
project being Indorsed.
As the result of the lack of facilities
for the public education of blind children
in the District, parents of such children
are forced to arrange for their education
at their own expense or procure it at
public expense in Baltimore, and this
may be done only through what is known
as the "pauper's oath."
Brought to Their Attention.
This situation was brought to the at
tention of the Commissioners shortly
after their Induction Into office, with the
result that they decided to thoroughly in
vestigate the matter, with the object of
recommending any remedial measures
that may appear to be demanded.
Provision for educating the blind chil
dren of the District have been under
consideration by Dr. William M. David
son, superintendent of public schools here,
for a considerable time. The superin
tendent favors the establishment of a
school for the education of the blind un
der certain conditions.
The school authorities at present have
no record of how many blind children
of school age there are now in the Dis
trict and have no direct means of ob
taining this information. It may be ob
tained indirectly, however, after the
schools open In the fall by having a call
sent out to all the buildings to have the
children tell of how many children they
know who are blind, their age and other
pertinent questions.
In this manner an approximate esti
mate of the city's blind children may be
gotten, and if it then seems advisable
steps may be taken to arrange for edu
cating them here.
Is Specialty in Baltimore.
"We must first question whether such
a school In the District would be of equal
benefit as that In Baltimore, where the
education of blind children is made a
specialty," -said Dr. Davidson yesterday.
"That is the first fundamental. Then we
must look at it from the viewpoint of
economy and find which plan is more
economical. Of course, if equal educa
tional opjfortunities can be given blind
children here it would be better for them
to be taught here, as they could then
have the home environment. This is of
particular importance with these little
ones, as the home people are always
tender and thoughtful of them because of
their affliction."
"Suppose it was found that equal edu
cational facilities could be afforded them
here, but that it would not be as eco
nomical, would a school be started here?"
the superintendent was asked.
After explaining that the establishment
of such a school could not be decided by
him personally. Dr. Davidson said that if
such an effort was m^de "the economists
would cry out. It would then be a ques
tion between the economists and the hu
manitarians. I am for the humanitarian
side," he added.
