new MORTARS GIVE
BAY PROTECTION

Port Townsend, Wash, May "a
Remarkable target practice with the
12-inch mortars at Fort Worden one
of the forts at the entrance to the
Puget Sound, was neld yesterday when
the mortars were fired for the first
time at fixed and movable targets in
Discovery Bay eight miles away and
hidden from the fort by forest-cov-
cred hills. The target was first an
chored in the bay and four shots fir
ed all falling in close proximity to
the target and to each other. The
target was then towed up and down
the bay and shots were fired
The exact score has not been com
pared yet, but several shots fell with
in the space around the target which
would have been occupied by a hos
tile ship and were marked as hits. The
importance of Notifications commands
ing Discovery Bay has long been rec
ognized but it was not thought that
its waters could be covered by fire
from a distant fort. Just how the
shots were directed is known only tC
the officers, but it probably was done
from a concealed station on Protec-
ton Island or near the quarantine
station
Brigadier General j. P. Wiser
commanding the Pacific coast artil-
lery district, who is making his an
nual inspection of the Puget Sound
Notifications said that as a result OF
the firing the war department would
feel confident that ample provision
had been made for defending Discov-
cry Bay which is a deep. spacious
harbor and an admirable place for
landing a hostile force.

in regard to those particular new

into the schools for the purpose of
giving the boys and girls closer con-
tact with real life, I have the deepest
and closest sympathy. I believe in

that there is no real life in the So

believe that English, history, natural
science and indeed all of the regular
school subjects are calculated to bring
the pupil into contact with life much
more intensively To me the chief val

ability to make it more easily possible
to interest the pupils in the more con-
centrated studies.

WOOL AND SUGAR
IN CLOSE PINCH

Washington, May 24.-Wool and
sugar, the stumbling blocks of the
tariff. held the attention of senate fl
nance subcommittee and senator's in
general yesterday, the legislative air
being filled with rumors of contem-
plated changes and alliances and
counter rumors of a further tighten
ing of the administration forces to
free wool and for free sugar in three
years.
Great interest vas attached to a
public statement made by Senator
Walsh of Montana, condemning the
proposal to put wool and sugar on the
free list which gave rise to a report
that he might join Senators Ransdell
and Thornton of Louisiana and vote
against the bill. In that case the sem
ate democratic majority, being only
six. the vote on the tariff bill would
be tie necessitating the vote of Vice
President Marshall to pass it. Should
this develop there are some demo-
crats who believe that Senator Poin-
dexter of Washington. the only
avowed progressive in the senate, will
vote with them on the bill. This would
give leeway for another democrat to
desert in the final vote.
Administration leaders declared
that the situation looked very favor
able for the bill but they look for
ward to an interesting session in the
party caucus when the southern and
western Representatives will have an
opportunity to make a determined
struggle against free wool and free su-
gar A rumor that several of them
would unite to remain out of the eau
Gus was denied by party leaders,
though one of them declared he
would not blame Senator Walsh
should he determine to stay out If 1t
became apparent that the caucus
would not yield on sugar and wool.
william Whitman, a leader of the
wooden interests in tariff cOnsidera-
tion had an interesting hour with SEN
ator Stones subcommittee attacking
the wooden manufactures schedule.
Mr.. Whitman declared the proposed
duties on wool manufactures were 30
per cent less than the rates in the
Wilson tariff act, which he said was
supposed to be a free trade bill.

BE- A CHARMING WOMAN

You never saw a beautiful woman who
didn't have beautiful hair. The charms
of beautiful woman lie in her hair.
Many women do not realize the attrac-
tons they possess because they do not
give proper attention to the hair.
The women of the 400 are famed
for their beauty, not because their facial
features are superior to those of other
women, but because they know how to
keep young by supplying vigor, lustre,
and strength to the hair.
