New melon Canopy
The Navy Department is having a
new style navy launch constructed at
the Norfolk Navy Yard for experiment
al purposes. The launch is to have no
cover as the present launches have. The
idea of having an open launch was
brought about by the sinking of the
launch of the battleship Missouri in
Hampton Roads some time ago which
resulted in the drowning of several of
fcers. Work has also commenced or
the construction of a new device to BIZ
used on. the present launches of the
navy. 1t is called a 'fmelon canopy
and will be fitted to all the Launches
in the navy. It's purpose is to shield
the occupants of a launch from thu
weather and breaking waves. 1t vii
be so arranged that it can be shifted
from port to starboard and vice vers;

Prouty. presiding held court here yesterday and heard the complaint of the State ginners, farmers ct al against the various railroads and steamship lines transporting cotton to the eastern markets from this section.
 The complainahts charge that there Is a discrimination of 1-2 cents per hundred, or practically 50 cents per bale, on cotton to eastern points in fa- vor of Brownsville. Tenn, as compared to Jackson, and that because of this fact ,much cotton and trade is being diverted from Jackson to Brownsville. ana as shown by the testimony of sev- eral Madison County gjnners, about tWo-hfths of the cotton tributary to Jackson on the west is , carried to Brownsville.
 The general freight agents and traf- fic managers of the Nashville, Chatta- nooga, and St. Louis; the L. and N, and the Mobile and Ohio Railroads. were examined and questioned as to the req son of the difference in the Brownsville and Jackson rate. and it developed that the Brownsville rate was made to com pete with a similar rate named by the illinois Central Railroad Company from Covington and insisted that the Jack son rate is not too high, A steno- graphic report of testimony was made and the case will be; taken up by the Interstate Commerce Commission in Washington, perhaps In July.

WONANS BEAUTY

A head of luxuriant hair Is sure to be attractive. But nature has not crowned every woman with glorious hair. Some very loyeable women with handsome faces she has treated rather soantily in this respect.
 For instance. there are tens of thou sands of women in America today, who have harsh, faded and lusterless hair, who are unattraotive simply because they do not know that nowadays; even the whims of nature can be overruled by the genius of science.
 If you are a woman without heauti- ful hair. do not permit your attracttons to be hidden because of this slight mis- fortune. Just make up your mind now. that you can have just as luxu- riant and beautiful q head of hair as any other woman, and quickly too.
