ONHEL GNTEPLAN Southern Pork Barrel Grabbers Trying to Deftat East River Project. @pecial From a Staff Eventag World.) ‘WASHINGTON, May 9—The en- re river and harbor bill in Congress . Me held up by the determined attempt ‘ef the New York City delegation to fompel deepening of Hell Gate Channel in East River to forty feet. This demand has the approval of President Wilson, who has written to Secretary Daniels of the Navy that he considers it necessary, but the Bouthern pork barrel grabbers, headed by Representative Small of North Carolina, Chairman of River and Harbors Committee, are oppos- Qng it because appropriation in large mount for Hell Gate means their @wn pet projects for shallow muddy fivers of the South must be scaled @own or entirely cast aside. Representative Murray Hulbert of New York, who is leading the fight | for deeper East River, said to-day: ' “Army engineers laid down the rule that river and harbors projects must i Be based on military necessities, Hell Gate comes first in this category. The new dill makes certain appropriations for East River and provides for a Project which will give forty fect of ‘water from Battery to Throggs Neck, excepting the half mile of Hell Gate, where only thirty-five feet are pro- Vided. What is the use of the deep @hannel if it 1s blockaded in the mid- die. Navy experts urge forty feet ‘over Hell Gate as a necessity to per- it battleships to run out through ng Island Sound. Army engineers @re ready to recommend it and wait only on certification from Secretary Daniels of the Navy. “President Wilson has written a Jetter to the Secretary on the eub- ot The 7 on G 100 West 32d St. exactly half former figures. Ject, but nothing ts don: is being held In the pocket of Chair- man Small while he tries to bar out the Hell Gate project. At the Navy Department to-day I-found Mr. & qall accompanied by Senator Overmak of North Carolina, laboring with See :- tary Daniels, also from North Cart lina, not to recommend the Hell Gate project as a naval necessity. “The New York City delegation has decided to fight the entire River and Harbor Bill if this project is not included, In doing so we consider that we are standing by the President aga'nst the personal and selfis! al terests of sectional Congressmen.” Alkali Makes Soap Bad For Washing Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle, ‘ ' The best thing to use is just’ plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and hight greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. | Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses reeves, and rinses out easily, The halr dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every ee of dust, dirt and dandruff— Advt. COMFORT COLLAR SPREADER More than doubles tie-space in a few seconds.
