Interstate Commerce
Commission Ready to
Permit New Charges
By Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 11.-To meet new
traffic conditions which have arisen
with the opening of the Panama Canal
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to-day permitted transcontinental rail-
roads to establish certain commodity
rates from Eastern points to Pacific
coast terminals lower than those TO
Intern ediate points in intermountain
territory.
The conclusion of the commission
order. which brings into prominent
notice the revolutionary effect of the
Panama Canal on transcontinental
transportation was announced at the
commissions headquarters as follows:
ITO secure any. considerable per-
centage of this coast to coast traffic
rates on many commodities must be
established by the rail lines materially
lower than those now existing. AS we
view 1t, the Panama Canal is to be one
of the agencies of transportation be-
tween the East and the West, but not
necessarily the sole carrier. If the
railroads are able to make such rates
from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pa
ciic coast as will hold to their lines
some portion of this traffic with profit
TO themselves, they should be per
mitted to do So The acceptance oi
this traffic will add something to theil
net revenues and to that extent de.
crease and not increase the burden
that must be borne by the other traf-
fic. 1t will also give the shippers al
the coast points the benefits of an ad-
ditional and competitive service

ISLAND COAL Wharf
C|TY'S DOUBLE GAIN
Harrisburg to Benefit Financially
-Unsightly Conditions on
Wall Eliminated

Not only will the city be the gamer
financially by allowing the electric
light company the use of sufficient
ground on the island for the erection
OF it's coal wharf but think the prob
lem of unsightly conditions along the
river wall at Front and Market streets
due to the present landing wharf will
be solved by the passage of the ordt-
nance"
City Commissioner Harry f. Bow
man to-day summed up his position
relative to the ordinance offered last
Tuesday which grants the Harrisburg
Light and Power company the use
of plot 100 by 100 feet on the east
ern side of the island for the erection
of concrete loading wharf and hopper
in return for 1900 tons of river coal
each year for the filtration plant.
This amount of coal will be all that
will be needed at the plant. BY erect
ing its wharf on the island the COM
pany's landing stage on the river will
no longer be necessary. The measure
will come before council for final ac-
ton Tuesday.
Water Contains 40 p. C. Less Alum
Commissioner Bowman's statement
was in reply to an anonymous COM
munication in a morning newspaper
which the superintendent declared is
incorrect. 1t stated that the proposed
and that the basin was necessary be-
cause of the increased amount of
alum in city water.
The commissioner explained that
during his tenure of office the supply
of alum used in filtering the city's
water supply has been reduced be-
tween thrty-five and forty per cent.
The newspaper letter, he declared,
dealt only with the three years prior
to Mr.. Bowman's incumbency despite
the fact that the correct figures and
data on the subject are always avail
able at the water departments offices.
"In 1912" said Mr.. Bowman,
"369, 994 pounds of alum were used to
filter the water; in 1914 the amount
was reduced to 217,071 pounds, a de-
crease of 1929 pounds. This in it
self means a saving of $1,529.23. BY
the end Of this year the showing is
bound to be better.
Why East Site Is Unfit For Basin
"As to the use of the proposed
wharf site for sedimentation basins,
anybody who would have practicable
ity, economy and efficiency in mind
would certainly not consider the erec-
tion of an additional basin on the east
side of the present dixie. On the west
side there is very much more room"

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be after
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-
but. really new hair-growing all over
the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dun. faded brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will he light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance OF
abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luXuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of KnowIton's s
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any-that
it has been neglected or injured by
careless trcatment-thats all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little DAN
