For every fifty folks who look to the
barometer for news as to a change in
the weather there are hardly Ave who
know that the human hair is not only
an accurate and reliable foreteller Of
rain or drought. cold or heat.
II In dressing your own hair or
brushing your small daughters you
and 1t rough and brittle the weather
will keep hot and dry. When the hair
becomes soft and smooth again look
out for rain. Lasting rain Is foretOld
by curly hair becoming straight and
clingy and straight hair fat and less
abundant looking. When the hair be-
gins to 6uff out and curl again the
weather will become pleasant once
more. The approach Of thunderstorms
ls heralded by the hairs cracking
when being combed and following"
the comb and brush. which electrical
tendency grows less and less as the
rain comes down in showers. Some
people are far more alive to atmos-
pheric changes and conditions. but all
hair shows its weather wisdom more
or less, the blonder shades more so
than brown or black locks.

XMAS FOR STATE WARDS
Day Celebrated Appropriately at All
Institutions, open" Included.

Christmas day this year was made
memorable, in one way or another, for
every one of the 5000 wards of the
state in its II institutions.
One of the most pathetic sights is at
the state school for the blind. A spe-
cial treat for the youngster was pro-
vided this year by the board of con.
troll by the purchase of $50 worth of
new records for the monograph at the
institution, and a grand concert was
arranged for Christmas day. In spite
of the fact that shining candles and
glittering tinsel could not be seen by
the children, a genuine Christmas tree
was provided.
At the school for the deaf, of course,
photographic records could not be
sent as a gift but the children there
were able to appreciate the Christmas
tree more fully.
At the soldiers and veterans home
special pains were taken with arrange
ments for the Christmas dinners, tur-
keys, cranberries, oranges and other
delicacies being provided as varia-
ton to the usual fare. At the three
hospitals for the insane the superin-
tendents solicited from charitably in
clined persons gifts of various kinds
to be furnished those inmates who
have no friends or relatives to re-
member them. Even at the state pen
itentiary at Walla Walla and at the
reformatory at Monroe special arrange
ments were made for the celebration
of Christmas day.

SENATOR TROY MAY RUN FOR CONGRESS
Continued from page ~

the majority of the counties were
frankly Progressive.
1.-THE third party movement is now
declared to be waning in the North
west, and 1t is probable that the best
this party can do next year-provided
the Progressives do not go back to
their first love-will be to offset the
Republican vote, leaving a Democrat
Of the type of Mr.. Troy in an advan.
tageous position. Altogether, il the
local man makes up his mind to enter
the fight for the position, things look
unusually bright for the presence at
the national capital of congressman
having for his home one of the small
est counties in the district
"In the event Mr.. Troy does make
final decision to file for the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress, it is
safe to say that he will be the prac-
tically unanimous choice of the two
counties on the Olympic peninsula and
their neighbors on the islands. His
friends answer for the sentiment in
other parts of the district. This part
of the state certainly needs a friend
at the national capital and Mr.. Troy
would fill the bill"
The Quilcene Megaphone, a Repub-
lican newspaper published in that dis
trict, commented on Mr.. Troy's pros
poets as follows:
I'm the event that he does listen to
his friends and announces his candida
cy he will win out. There Is no other
man In the district, Democrat or Re-
publican, who stands so high with the
people as David s. Troy. He was elec-
ted to the legislature from this-a
strong Republican CONVERSATIONAL
nominated on the Democratic ticket,
and then followed his election to the
state senate on the same ticket in a
strong Republican district. Mr.. Troy
is one of the big men of the state. and
the people of the Second district, If
they can induce him to accept the can
didacy, need look no farther for a
clean, able man to represent the dis.
trict in the lower house of Congress"

Tom Simington. who was held in the
county Jail several days last week, was
released Saturday after local authori-
ties decided there was not sufficient
ground to place formal charge
against him Of having caused the
death OF Matt Connors with whom he
got into fist fight about a week ago.
1t was at first thought that Simington
struck Connors a blow which resulted
in the latter's death, but later investi-
cations convinced them there were 9th.

county will celebrate Jackson day
January 8-this year with smoker
and light lunch in the evening at q
place to be announced later, when
George Yantis, temporary president of
the Thurston County branch of the
State Democratic league, announces
that steps looking to the permanent or
ganizatiOn of the branch will be taken
and plans evolved for the branch's
work in this locality in connection
with the work of the state league.
1t is particularly desired that as
many of the Democrats residing In the
county attend this meeting as can, for
1t will be an important event in local
Democratic annals and it is expected
that notices of the meeting will be con.
sidered by each Democrat of the coun-
ty as personal invitations to be pres
ent, to help complete the organization
and to join the local branch.
Inasmuch as this is the state capital,
many Democrats, including the state
officials, believe tina. it should lead the
state in an active. energetic organiza-
ton instead of tagging behind as it
does now. Quite few Democrats have
joined it since the dinner about two
weeks ago, when the temporary organ.
ization was effected, and the aim is to
have it include in its membership all
OF the Democrats OF the city and coun-
Ity.
