the conclusion of the ceremonies the
presidential party drove through the
streets lined with holiday makers
showering confetti and flowers from
windows and balconies, to the national

A striking feature of the parade

Since the last celebration OF Independ.

placed under the military organiza

Portirio Diaz has there been seen at
the capital larger number of men OF
the regular army establishments in
line. The artillery, the cavalry and
the foot soldiers numbered thousands
and stretched for miles through the
streets.

TARIFF BILL is LOWER.
Duty on Steel Is Lower and Wheat Is
lon Free List.

Washington, June 21.-Important re-
rates on iron, steel and other metal
products. the addition of cattle, wheat,
pig iron, Angora wool, and many other
articles Of the free list and an increase
in rates on many classes of cotton
goods and some silk products, were the
chief features of the revised tariff bill
as it was laid before the senate Demo
Gratis today by Chairman Simmons OF
the finance committee.
After weeks of work in which every
item had undergone close scrutiny by
subcommittee of the majority men,
bership of the finance committee, the
redrafted measure was brought into
the Democratic caucus today. For two
hours the important changes were ex-
planned to Democrats and the blu was
then made public Experts OF the COM
mittee at once began work on a COM
parative summary of the changes.
President Wilson's desire as TO free
sugar in 1916 and free wool at once
prevailed in the redraft of the bill.
To the list of market basket" re-
auctions the Underwood bill contained,
the senate committee added many i'm
portant items. In the general level OF
its rates the Simmons bill" repre-
sents heavier cut from existing rates
OF the Payne-Aldrich law than the bill
as it passed the house.
The senate caucus adjourned early
and members spent the afternoon
working out private analysis of the
measure. The caucus will reconvene
tomorrow Senate leaders believe the
bill will reach the senate itself late
next week.

forward across the steering gear,
which was disabled. The front planes
of the craft fell, and it started for the
water, 1900 feet below. AS it dropped
the pilot was catapulted out. His
body preceded the disabled machine
toward the water. Late tonight all
available boats in the neighborhood
were seeking the body. 49,.
When the aeroplane began its dive,
Lieutenant Towers chung to one of
the uprights between the planes. AL
though at times his body swung clear
of the rapidly falling airship, he main

The aviator feared that he would lose
consciousness before he could be res

of one of the planes bound himself tc

Within a few minutes he was taken
off by B. L. Bronson and S. Keller
who were watching the aeroplane's
movements from a motor boat kept o.

ITCHING AND BURNING

Iberia, MOI was troubled with
scalp eczema for about five years and
tried everything heard of, but all OF
no avail. The doctors told me would
have to have my head shaved. Being
a woman, l hated the idea of that. l
was told by friend that the Cuticura
Remedies would do me good. This
spring I purchased two boxes OF Cuti-
cura Ointment and one cake OF Cuti-
cura Soap. After using one box OF
Cuticura Ointment considered the
cure permanent, but continued to use
1t to make sure and used about one
half the other box. Now l am entirely
we'll also used the Cuticura Soap.
1.-THE disease began on the back OF
my head, taking the form Of ring
worm, only more severe, rising to a
thick, rough scale that would come on
when soaked with oil or warm water,
bringing few hairs each time, but in
q few days would form again, larger
each time, and spreading until the en-
tire back of the head was covered with
the scale. This was accompanied by
a terrible itching and burning sensa-
ton. Now my head is completely well
and my hair growing nicely" (Signed)
