Premature Peace Efforts Referring to a praiseworthy but premature effort on the part of certain American peace advocates to influence this government to make forcible representations to the belligerent European powers in behalf of a restoration of peace, the New York Sun wisely comments : "It is well to point out, lest any ardent wish

er of a peace now impossible should be duped by his hopes, that this war, which has been hanging over Europe for years and has been regarded as inevitable, cannot end, that no durable peace can be negotiated or without derision attempted, until that ancient problem the Balance of Power has been settled decisively. The long preparation has been made, enormous expenditures for armaments have been endured, that when the struggle came its event should be final for a generation or two at least. Either one side or the other must be beaten to its knees, militarily and economically. No such result is in sight. Until it is, the talk of peace must be evidence of humane intention rather than of present practical value."

A "Live Wire" Police Commissioner In "Billy" Eversman Richmond has a unique police commissioner unique because he is not content to be a mere figure-head while filling his position as president of the police board. For years it has been the custom in this city for the various mayors to appoint on their police boards "prominent" citizens, who, in their offi

cial character, were expected to meet once a month and briefly transact routine police business, then adjourn to forget all about police affairs until their next monthly meeting. "Billy" Eversman is too young a man to have acquired the dignity of being classed as a "prominent" citizen, but among his friends and associates at the factory where he is employed he was popular because he had the reputation of being a live wire and a hustler. He proved this fact to their entire satisfaction when he was appointed president of the police board. Entering into his official duties he took with him new precedents, the most important of which was constant and enthusiastic interest in department affairs. A strict disciplinarian he has nevertheless commanded the respect of every member of the force and has created a most admirable esprit de corps. He tirelessly watches after the interests of the department and through his championing of their cause has won the complete confidence of all his subordinates. Eversman is not a monthly visitor at police headquarters. He is a daily visitor and has acquired a complete knowledge of police affairs because he is constantly in touch with them. He has frequently shared the work of officers on their beats and his services are at the disposal of Chief Goodwin at any time for any kind of work, no matter how arduous. There were those who at first ridiculed Eversman because he took such an active interest in police affairs a policy which, incidentally, shocked many of his dignified predecessors but it is difficult now to find a citizen who will not admit that under the Eversman system the police department operates as smoothly as a well oiled machine.

Eversman has recently taken up the cudgels!

for salary increases for members of his department and in his breezy manner has enlisted council's interest in this matter. , Of course in his work of establishing the police department on a firm basis of efficiency, Eversman has been ably assisted by his two associates on the board, Mr. Fry and Mr. Drathering, but the major part of the work has fallen on Eversman in his capacity as president of the board.

(Beauty Notes.) . Merely applying an inexpensive paste to a hairy surface, say beauty specialists, will dissolve the hairs. This paste is made by mixing a little water with some powdered delatone; after about 2 minutes it is rubbed off and the skin washed. This simple method not only removes every trace of hair, but leaves the skin free from blemish. To insure success with this treatment, be careful to get real delatone. Advertisements

Other Reasons Why You Should

Patronize the City Light Plant What the City Light Plant Represents in Actual Cash The cost of construction and bringing the plant up to its present state of efficiency, has involved an investment of $400,000.00. Its present value, less depreciation is $3 1 8,000.00.

Oat of the Total Cost there is outstanding as a debt, bonds to the amount of $1 39,000.00, of which amount there is now in the sinking fund to pay those bonds, over $30,000.00.

What This Weans to You What does this mean to you? It means that the plant, while reducing the cost of electricity to you, has paid off by its own earnings nearly $300,000.00 of its total cost.

Without the City Plant this $300,000.00 would have been paid in dividends to a private corporation.

Since the City Plant has made possible cheap electric light and power, at the same time has added to the possession of the city nearly $300,000.00, is it not worthy of whole-hearted support from every loyal citizen of Richmond? Patronize
