WORK ON new ROAD
To Be RUSHED
Directors of Tampa and Jack
sOnViIIe Road Meet.
EXTENSION CONTRACT LET
Showing of the Board of Directors
Proved Very Satisfactory and it was

tant One for Florida Towns.

In regular annual session, the d.
rectors Of the Tampa and Jackson
vile Railroad met at the Aragon Ho-
tel, in Jacksonville, elected officers
for the ensuing year and heard re-
view Of the business of the past year.
The showing of the administration
proved very satisfactory, and it was
reelected.
The directors have let a contract
for the contraction of seven miles of
road from the present terminus, Fair
field, in the direction of Dunnellon. 1t
penetrates the rich and prosperous
Blichton neighborhood, which will
furnish sufficient travel and traffic to
put the extension on a paying basis
1t is the purpose Of the management
to build on to the immediate vicinity
of Dunnellon, where 1t Is expected to
connect with the Tampa Northern
when 1t shall have reached that point
AS soon as practicable, the road will
extend from Sampson City to Jack
sonVille, which will then complete a
direct connection and through line
from Tampa to Jacksonville that will
be considerably shorter than any ex
listing line, and at the same time fur
nish shorter route to the West than
any now being operated. The dis
lance between the two terminal Flor
ida cities will be less than two hun
bred miles, and it will make the
basis Of cost Of transportation be-
tween them.
AS the law now stands it is i'm
practicable for either the Seaboard
Air Line or the Atlantic Coast Line
to acquire the Tampa Northern, and
it seems only rational and necessary
that the connection indicated above
should be made at the earliest mo-
ment The complete road would be a
very strong and important line and be
of great value to Tampa and Jackson
vile. 1t may be considered among
the very early probabilities of rail-
road development in Florida.

BADNESS IN WONTEN

BOSTON, MASS Special. 1t is
apparent from what DIR. q. j. White.
dermatologist at the Massachusetts
General Hospital, says that women
must either cut down the number Of
auto trips or run the awful chances
of becoming bald. The noted authori-
ty says motoring is bad for the hair.
Usually women neglect TO proper
ly cover their heads, with the result
that they are compelled to take too
many shampoos," DR.. White said to-
day. Washing the hair and scalp
once month is often enough for a
skin which is normal. shampoo
every other day or so, or even once
a week, will produce badness. and
after person reaches twenty-five or
thirty years of age il is impossible to
cure abnormal falling out of hair"
The problem is that If women want
to so motoring they must completely
cover the hair. but thaf keeps out the
AIR ana produces badness. If they
permit the dust to get on the scalp
ana tnen submit to the wicked sham
poo they will also lose their hair. The
only safe way is to reduce the num-
Der OF auto trips.

Representatives Dalzen, of Penn

The Speakers decision was in part
as follows:
The chair has been somewhat
criticised because in this matter he
has been slow to rule. But the ques-

to the chair. is of such transccnding

IN no other way could The largest par

The very object of the rules is to
provide an orderly way for consider

to the House. To give all those sub

TO establish constitutional chaos in the

functions which the Constitution en-

KENTUCKY REJECTS
THE INCOME TAX
Follows Virginia Legislature in
Turning Down instrumentation
Regarded as Ominous.

WASHINGTON, d. c. - Special. -
The action OF Kentucky, following
close on that OF Virginia, in rejecting
the proposed amendment to the Com
stitution OF the United States to pro-
vide for an income tax, is regarded
as ominous by the advocates of the
income tax in the House and Senate.
The proposed amendment to the
Constitution was submitted to the
States last August. Alabama adopted
1t within three weeks after it was
submitted to the Legislature.
Up to date bat four States have
taken positive action, the other forty
two having shown more or less indif-
ference. New York's decision, it is
believed, will have much to do with
the outcome In nei@hboring States.
