CHARGES AGAINST GOV. TREAR
War Department Advises Will BE the
Highest Ever Reached.

Washington, April 2.-President
Taft sent message to congress to-
day urging the immediate appropri-
alton of 100000 to be used in
strengthening the levees and trying
to prevent further flood damage In
the Mississippi and Missouri river
valleys.
The president will use part of the
appropriation in destroying huge
ice gorge in the Missouri river be-
tween Yankton and Vermillion, 8. D.
II am advised by the secretary of
war" says the president in the mes
sage, "that the flood in the MISSISSIPPI
pi valley, by reason of the rise In all
the rivers tributary to the Mississippi
and Missouri at nearly the same
time, is likely In the lower part Of the
valley-that Is, Missouri, Kentucky,
Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana-to reach higher point
along the levees than 1t has ever
reached within recent memories. and
that there is grave danger that the
levees may give way under this un-
usual pressure and that great DAM
age may be done to property in the
states mentioned, requiring. unless
prompt action Is taken, great future
outlay in preserving proper naviga-
ton Of the stream.
Those levees contribute not only
tc the safety Of adjoining agricul-
tural land and settlements. but are
also part of the great governmental
project for the maintenance of naviga-
ton in the lower waters of the Mis-
sissippi.
ut seems proper, therefore, that the
government take immediate action to
make the loss impending as little rs
possible. In view of the character Of
the emergency and the safeguards
surrounding the expenditure made I'M
der the corps of engineers. have no
hesitation in asking for an appropria-
ton Of 100000 as recommended by
| the secretary of war.
II urgently recommend immediate
appropriation so that no time may be
lost"

MAKE WIGS OF SPUN GLASS
Natural Hair Becoming Scarce, Deal
ers in Artificial Product Are
Driven to Extremitles.

No ore outside the artificial hair
business knows the difficulty that
merchants in hair-goods have expert
enced in getting material of sufficient
quality-especially in braids--at any
thing like the prices which most peo-
pie are willing to pay. Many coun.
tries, indeed, place such restrictions
on wig-makers, owing to hygienic rea-
sons, that natural hair is becoming
more and more rare.
In certain parts of France the ex-
pedlent was resorted to of making
wigs from certain fibrinous plants;
especially was this done with those
which have served to furnish mate
rial for rugs and blankets. BY split-
ting the fibers very fine and treating
them chemically, it was possible to
make artificial hair, but the labor in

complaints were made that the substi-

Il series OF experiments, it has been
found possible to utilize spun crystal

SHE PICKED TIE WRONG MAN
Woman With Prominent Jaw Did No:
Get the Seat She SO Evil

She had a jaw that somehow re-
minded one OF the cowcatcher on To-
neutrality-suspicious. because It was al.
ways somewhat in advance Of her
countenancc. Also there was a look
of determination in her eyes. and It
was evident. from the manner In
which she elbowed other passengers
aside, that she had no desire to be re-
garded as a shrinking violet. Yet she
was rather good looking, and she was
dressed in such a manner az to tndi.
cate that she was free from the ne
cessity of practicing economy. After
she had fought her way into the car
she looked IT the men who were co.
cupying seats and then stationed her
self IN front of a smallish. gray-haired
gentleman whose expression was Lind
and even lamblike.
The woman engaged his attention
by kicking his toes. He curled his feet
back under the seat and continued to
read his paper. Then she "hemmed"
loudly and bumped against his knees.

the decisive jaw said in tones that In
