Beavers Regrets ‘Hullabaloo,’ but
Says Order to Arrest Persons
Acting Improperly Stands.
Chief of Police Beavers expressed
disgust Thursday at the reception by
the public of the anti-kissing crusade
Inaugurated by Ids officers on the
Capitol grounds. In spite of the
torrent of criticism that has poured
upon the plain clothes men since they
interrupted two loving couples on the
Capitol steps, the Chief has not re
ceded from his position.
"I regret that such a hullabaJloo
has been made about those arrested,”
said the Chief. “The officers believed
that they were carrying out their In
structions and I am not convinced
that they were not.
"We had reports that couples were
conducting themselves improperly
there and the officers were ordered to
arrest any persons who acted sus
piciously. I gave the orders at the
time and I have not withdrawn them.
"I am not a crank on the subject
of spooning. I am as firm a believer
in the. right of young people to court
as any of the critics of the police
department, but I know from the re
ports that we have received that per
sons of bad character frequented the
Capitol grounds.
"I b.elieve It is a duty to the pub
lic to protect the daughters of the
city. Mistakes may be made. F*olioe-
men may be overzealous in carrying
out their instructions. I think, how
ever, such instances are rare.
"I would not think an officer Justi
fied. of course, in arresting a couple
sitting on the Capitol steps, unless
they were acting improperly. If his
suspicions were aroused it would be
his duty either to warn them or place
them under arrest."

Attacks Daniels for
Navy Test ‘Flunks’
WASHINGTON. Sept. 11. — The
Senate and House Committees on
Naval Affairs have amplified their
criticisms of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels for "flunking” four candidates
for admission Into the marine corps.
Information in the hands of the
committee shows that the Secretary’s
disapproval of "aptitude and effici
ency” marks in these examinations
was inconsistent.
1546 Alsqiiith St.. Baltimore, Md. —
"My children were afflicted with what they
called ringworm of the scalp contracted
from a house-cat they were playing with.
The ringworm formed on their scalps about
the size of a silver dollar and their hair fell
out, leaving a round scale or crust on their
scalps. Their hair fell out in round spots.
There was terrible Itching and they scratched
till the blood came. They wfcre very fretful
and could not sleep at night and they were
very cross.
"They were treated for several months
with no improvement whatsoever. Instead
of improving they were getting worse and
the ringworm was spreading and getting
larger. I was told they would never have
any hair and would always be bald. Then
1 began using Cuticura Soap in connection
with Cuticura Ointment and the first week
I could see the wonderful remedies wfere
doing all they were claimed to do and in six
weeks’ time they were entirely cured. They
ail have a beautiful growth of hair ”
(Signed) Mrs. Sadie Pollock. Jan. 1, 1918.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment do so much
for pimples, blackheads, red. rough and oily
skins. Itching, scaly scalps, dry, thin and
falling hair, chapped hands and shapeless
nails, that It la almost criminal not to use
them. They do even more for skin-tor
tured infanta and children. Although sold
by dealers throughout the world, a liberal
sample of each will be mailed free, with
32-p. Skin Book. Address post-card “ Outi-
cura. Dept. T, Boston.”
Men who shave and shampoo with Ou-
ticuraSoap will find it best for skin and scalp.
