Repeats Acts Of Dream.
Annie Utz, 5219 Justine street, was
dragged from the river by a police
man on one of the motorboats. She
had premonition and told of it.
Il dreamed twice Friday night that
the boat was sinking and screamed so
that l woke up my sister and Anna

Miss Utz. when the boat went over

G. F. Fligh of 5426 Twenty

seven women out through portfolio
to safety ahead of him. He was I'M
conscious when picked up.
Il thought l couldn't last to put
that last woman up, but / felt that l
just had to-" said Fligh. 81 don't
know yet what happened to me or
how was saved after getting out Of
the stateroom."
The body of Miss Kathryn Allen,
709 Kedzie avenue, has been identified
by her sisters, Laura and Lucy, who
were with her ON the boat and were
saved.
Boat Chained to Dock.
Lucy Allen told their experience:
81 don't know now whether Kathryn
lost hold and went under or was
pushed off, but she was standing on
deck with Laura and Lizzie Bosch of
124S Willard avenue and me. When
the boat began to turn she disap-
peared Immediately. She must have
lost her hold on the rail and been
sucked under the boat. Lizzie went
with her.
THE first Laura and l knew we
were hanging to something that
seemed firm enough, within sound Of
the most awful screams for help.
Then l felt someone pulling my arms.
1t seemed to me they would be pulled
out of their sockets. Two men got
hold of me and then of my sister, and
when we got to shore we felt ten
years older.
There was chain that held the
boat when it started to turn. 1t was
the only one that they had not un-
fastened when the accident occurred.
So we were really chained to the
shore. After they loosened the other
chains and the boat was ready to start
some man who seemed to have au-
thority said: Scatter, and get on the
other side, some of YOU People start
ed to walk around to the other side
of the boat, but it was too late. 1t
tipped too fast.
"The people on the north side of
the boat had absolutely no chance for
their lives. They were plunged into
the water like ants on the end of a
stick. There were too many of them
to hold to the boat, and there was
nothing else for them to get hold of.
They had to go down. l think it was
a portfolio that l got my arms
through, so that l held fast until
someone got me by the arms"

1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH 1T WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very sparing
! ly, if at all, If you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps
and prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it,
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than soap or anything else
you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, which
rinses out easily, removing every
particle Of dust, dirt, dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quick
ly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky,
bright. lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every men,
ber of the family for months.

That is where she takes another stab

she will make is that a large per

not because of its financial returns,
but because of humanitarian reas-
ons-the chances it affords them to
do real service for people.
Professional Life Short
