DEFENSE Plan
IS RIDICULED
Opening Gun Of Democratic

"VIOLATES PLATFORM
Speaker Makes Sarcastic Comment on
Plan for Continental Army Advo-
Gated by Secretary Garrison.

The opening gun Of the Democratic OPP
position to the administrations national
defense program was fired in the
House yesterday by Representative Isaac
Sherwood, of Iowa.
Mr.. Sherwood, who is a veteran of the
civil war, and who has been prominent
in Grand Army circles for many years
waxed sarcastic over President Wilson $
utterances on national defense year
ago as .contrasted with his position on
this question today.
Mr.. Sherwood declared that the agita-
ton for defense was furtheIed by those
who desired Ito give tone and polish to
our fIamboyant Washington society.
ridiculed the continental army plan ad-
vocated by Secretary Garrison, saying
that he understood it originated in the
War College. and that this college was
the favorite militant child of Col. Roose-
welt. He said:
AT the end of the five-year period for
the defense program this country Will
then be eXpending on its army and navy
more than any nation in the world In
time of peace ever expended. We now
have the second strongest navy in the
world with no enemy in sight and nothing
to do but waste powder In target
practice, and concoct war scares.
1T is proposed to tax a patient and
tolerant people that an overpowerins
army of idlers may be ordered to con-
sumo the savings of the industrial classes
increasing the already high cost of liV-
ing and producing nothing but discon-
tent and trouble. 1t Is a crime against
the republic, without sanity and with
out excuse. And the same brood OF
blood money gangsters are recommend
ing a buzzard brood of aeroplanes.
The devil of late has learned to deal
death and destruction from the sky. His
victims have bean mostly women, chill
dren and babies. The DEVILS allies now
clamor for this latest and most barbar-
Gus of all wars brutahties as a part
OF the military outfit of this so-called
Christian republic. OF what possible use
are aeroplanes either to resist or ag-
gressively fight an enemy with 5000 miles

WHY HAIR FALLS OUT.

Dandruff causes a feverish irritation of
the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loosen
and then the hair comes out fast. To
stop falling hair at once and rid the
scalp of every particle of dandruff, get a
25-cent bottle of Danderine at any drug
store, pour little in your hand and rub
well into the scalp. After a few appli-
cations all dandruff disappears and the
hair stops coming out.

Uncle Sam's army holds one patent right which places it ahead of other nations in the field of wireless instru- ments for use on aeroplanes. It weighs but seven pounds and will transmit messages miles.
 Electric irons have reduced the cost of repairing patent leather shoes in a Massachusetts shoe factory from two and one-half cents pair to one and one-eighth cents a pair. The saving amounts to $3,437 in a year.
 A North Dakota jeweller has built a minute electric motor just such as a flea circus would find useful for oper- ating it's trolley cars. Its total length IS about tive-siXteenths of an inch and it's total weight is less than a grain.
 An electric shoestring farm is oper- ated by Pennsylvania power com pany. The farming space is more than q mile long but only few yards wide, for the land area includes only the tight of way for high tension power line.
 Steel ships sunk in the course of the present war may be raised with the aid of pontoons clamped firmly to the steel hull with big electric magnets. The magnets receive the electric en- ergy from the generators of "a ship on the surface.
 Electric gasoline pumps may now be installed at the curbs in place of the ordinary hand-operated pumps. Pressing button starts the gasoline flowing and a pointer shows the GUS toner just how much gasoline has been measured out to him.

Second, Railroads cannot control and the government cannot and does not limit the expense account.
 Third The present system of regu. lation is based on a policy of regulatio {. asd correction and not on policy of helpfulness and encouragement.
 Fourth. The outstanding obliga tiOns of the railroads have already exceeded the financial rule of safety and involve a dsproportionate amount of obliga. tions bearing fixed charges.
 Fifth. The investor must accept a subordinate obligation or security with no assurance of surplus of earnings to support it.
 sixth. Other competitive lines of in. vestment present superior attractions.
 seventh, The railroad business Is largely controlled hy political instead of business considerations.
