ton for ladder trS Sck the total
amount of the various Appropriations
provided in the tentativA 1915 budget
exceeds by $4,000 the most conserya
tive estimate of the city's revenue for

reasons to believe that the municipal
revenue will be somewhat larger than
the low estimate they have made CT II
and they are confident that by practic-
ing the same economical pSlicy which
has been followed out this Year it will
be possible to purchase the truck after
the first six months of nett year. II
their estimates are wrongl then the
purchase of the truck will ! e postpon.
ed until 1916.

ing accomplished with ease by many
citizens of Richmond, especially Chau-
tauqua attenders.
At the close of night sessions, the
cars going towards the center of the

are dropping off at street corners
from the other end.
Last night a woman with several

Near France.
[BY LEASED WlRE.1

LONDON, Aug 23.-Hard fighting
is going on between the Germans and
the Allies in Central Belgium, accord
ing to advices reaching here. A Par
is dispatch to The Daily Mail says
that the big engagement which has
been expected SO long, opened on Sat-
urday morning. M. Matvi, French
Minister of Interior, admitted to a
journalist that a fight, believed to be
in the war is going on.
says that severe fighting has been in
progress around Charleroi for two
days.
Official announcement was made to-
day in Paris that the French forces
in southwestern Belgium are pushing
forward at Charleroi to halt the Ger
man advance toward Dinant.
The French are probably attempt
ing to compel an abandonment of the
German maneuvers at Lille in the
North of France.
1t is stated that the French have
met with success. From all accounts
the battle at Charleroi Is the biggest
of the war and some writer's refer to
it as "a conflict in which the engage
ment at Waterloo disappears in insig
nificance."
Germans Move South.
A forward movement has been COM
menced by that section of the Ger
man army lying south of Brussels, ac
cording to dispatches from Brussels
today.
The correspondent of the Daily
Mail telegraphs from Ostend that the
Germans are moving in Southwestern
ly direction to strike the French from
tier near Valenciennes. The German
force is divided in two columns, one
proceeding by way af .Ninove, and an
other by way of Monsu.
BATTLE THREE DAYS. .<
LONDON, Aug. pa three-days
battle has been going on around the
French defensive works around Muel-
hausen. News of the engagement came
today in a special dispatch to the
Mail. The Germans have been con-
centrating their attack with a view to
forcing the French, from their in
trenchmenSG.
German artillery has been pounding
away at the French works without
intermission.
1t was a brilliant spectacle last
night, the flashes from the batteries
being plainly seen from Basel, Switzer-
land. High above the battlefield the
huge air-ships wheeled and circled,
their powerful search-lights playing
upon the enemy.

HOW PARIS STYLES MADE
MUCH HAIR FROM LITTLE

You have noticed the prevailing
hair styles. which are Partisan. make
it impossible to use false hair be-
cause of the simple lines which con-
form to the natural shape of the
head. 1t therefore becomes necessary
to make your own hair look as heavy
as possible. This is not a difficult task
If you are careful to keep it perfectly
clean. In washing the hair it is not
advisable to use a makeshift, but al
ways use a preparation made for
shampooing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three
cents a shampoo by getting a package
of canthrox from your druggist; dis
solve q teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water and your shampoo is ready. Af-
ter it's use the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely dis
appear. Your hair will be so fluffy
it will look much heavier than 1t is.
Its luster and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

MOTORISTS TO MAKE
THEIR OWN ZOL|NE
Individual Stills to Be Sold to
Consumers of New Fuel Will
Be Made at Once
Special to The Telegraph

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 24-Tne
final test of the effect of "zoline," the
new 2-cent gallon substitute fuel for
gasoline, on the mator of the car used
in the / 1,000-mile run at the Speedway
last week, was completed to-day. The
technical committee reported that
there had been no chemical effect on
the motor and that it was in the same
condition as if gasoline had been used.
Another important announcement
was made to-day regarding the fuel
Instead of marketing the product at
so much per gallon, it has been de-
cided to market the still. This will
allow the individual consumer to make
his own fuel. Aside from the secret
chemical and the still, all that is
needed is plenty of rain water. In
fact, the fuel is made nine-tenths from
rain water, which goes through the
still and comes out "zoline," ready to
perform in the same manner as gaso-
line.
The manufacture of the stills will
begin at once, and those back of the
project state that with the stills on
the market the high cost of motor fuel
has been solved forever.
The first opportunity the East will
have to see the new product will be
at the New York Automobile Show. A
still is to be placed at the show and
''zoline" made right in the hall The
mixing of the chemical with the rain
water will be open to public inspec-
| ton.
