EXHIBIT PLANS
AGAIN DISCUSSED
Big Building May Be Needed to
Display Richmond Made
Goods.

The board of directors OF the pro-
5ected manufacturers exhibit, met In
the Chamber of Commerce last night
to take up further discussion of plans
for the enterprise. Practically a full
attendance of the board was present,
and was presided over by the chair
man. f. w. Brown. Tho question of
a location was again taken up and
referred to the committee which has IL
In charge.
"a number of sites are available;
several new ones being offered at last
nights meeting, but the committee ia
proceeding slowly In order to make no
mistake in the selection. 1t was stat
cd that one of the reasons that the
committee on location is proceeding
with caution. is the fact that although
moro than 100 manufacturers have
either signed up. or agreed to coop
crate, a large number has not yet en-
tered the fold.
To contract for a site and building
large enough to provide 10000 or 49,
GOO feet OF floor space. and then to
ma later that large number of new
entries among the manufacturers
make necessary a building of twice
or three times these dimensions, would
be an expensive mistake. It was
strongly urged at last nights meeting
that those manufacturers who have
not already allied themselves with the
progressives. do SO at once. and make
the work OF the committee on build
Ing and location that much simpler.
Two new applications for reserva-
lions were read at the meeting, and
Charles j. Shuman was elected TO the
directorate, completing it's required
membership of fifteen. Another meet
Ing of the directors will be called by
the chairman to consider the report of
the committee on location.

a meeting of the board of directors
OF the tuberculosis Camp Society was
held yesterday afternoon in the office

lions as to whether It was practicable
to finance the erection of a second pa

How to Prepare
Your Own Shampoo

"a bountiful growth OF soft. luxu-
RANT hair can be every woman's legacy
hair whose shimmery, silky strands
respond to the fingers gentle touch
and go in place as If by magic" writes
Mrs. Mae Martyr, in the Los Angeles
Bulletin. mo great effort Is required.
but the right sort Of treatment should
be given It. Shampooing with hurt
full preparations must be avoided-in
fact, the only safe shampoo to use
is plain canthrox, a teaspoonful Of
which dissolved In a cup hot water is
enough for satisfactory shampoo.
"Tne canthrox mixture creates a
wealth OF rich, cleansing lather that
gently penetrates and loosens all dead
tissue. stops Irritation and neutralizes
excess oil. When tho head Is rinsed,
the scalp and hair are spotlessly clean,
and the hair takes on a rich tone and
mystic charm. Occasional shampoos
with canthrox will induce the hatr5to
grow sabundantly and take on an even
color that greatly adds to pergonal
charm, III " " R

Rockhill said to ME OH the passport
question.
During our first conversation, May
20. 1911, at the American embassy in
ST. Petersburg. he said:
The passport question Is not an
american question. Too much fuss is
made about the passport question.
10 be frank. II Is bad policy TO force
this passport question OIL Russia In
time, Russia will settle It herself.
Parsons und Bennett we're wrong
when they snid that Russia needs us
more than NC need Russia Parsons
said that our commercial interests
here are insignificant. He Is mistake en-.
We need Russia more than she needs
us We who are SO clumaily strug-
Cling for new markets everywhere,
need Russia. We have already great
interests involved here, and still
greater to come.
'We have the American Harvester
Company. tho Singer Sewing Machine
Company, the Equitable Life Insurance
Company and other American con
Germs. and now many new enterprises
we arc Interested in improving the
cotton fields here and in building grain
elevators. We have the same interests
az Russia has In Japan.
Russia is favorabIy inclined toward
American capital and enterprises also,
for the reason that her credit Is al
most exhausted with France-that is.
not exactly exhausted. but Russia does
not want to tie herself to the Euro
pean powers She has credit and In
terests in England and In Germany.
but for the future the interests Of
Russia arc destined to be with the
United Staten.
Need tussia Politically.
POLITICALLY We need Russia, for our
interests on the Pacific are the came az
those Of Russin. The Panama Canal
Will make II necessary for us to be In
closer relations with Russia. with ST..
IBERIA. SO. you soc. we cannot force
the passport question. That will be
settled in time by Russia herself
Did you meet Mr.. Hammond when
me was In, ST. PetersbuTG?' I asked
Oh, yes, replied Mr.. Rockhill. My
friend Mr.. Hammond has now two
parties working here on the project
OF irrigating the transcaspinn. distrIc,
for the purpose OF cultIvating cotton
there; also project OF building grain
elevators. When these projects. in
which he md the government are In
terested. go through II will mean "a
$500. 100000 deal for American Inter
ests. We need Russia also politically.
Personally added Mr.. Rockhill. 4
can't understand why the American
Jews are SO keen on the passport
question. It is not an important ques-
ton. We need Russia. Therefore 1t
would not be wise to press the mat
