DETROIT THOUSANDS
WATCH FOR HUGHES

Detroit, Aug. Charles L, Hugh
es arrived in Detroit early today on
the first lap of his trans-continental
trip amid the blaze Of band music
and vigorous hand clapping on the
part of few hundred people assembl-
ed at the Michigan Central depot.
The special train bearing the repub-
lican nominee and party was about
twenty minutes late into Detroit.
Although there were but few out
breaks of cheering along the line of
the parade from the station to the
Hotel Pontchartrain, the demonstra-
ton was remarkable. The candidate,
seated in an automobile with Mrs.
Hughes, rode from the station to the
hotel with hat in hand, smilingly
acknowledging the greetings from the
crowds.
Hughes two addresses tonight will
be the first stump speeches of the
actual campaign. Alleged shortcom-
ings of the democratic administra-
tion, 1t was declared today, would be
the theme OF these addresses.

HUGHES HEARS APPROVAL OF
LABOR


Governor" Hughes, as he prefers
to be called. continues to hit the nail
right on the head. His talk to fac
tory welfare committees and workers
in Detroit displays the personal con-
victions held in regard to labor
both in the human sense OF the
worker, and in the abstract economic
use as labor power"
sit is an awful mistake to think
OF the man through whose work the
production is made possible as mere
unit Of production and not as q hu-
man being" was a declaration Of be-
lief that brought clamor OF approx
al from workers who heard the erst-
while Justice this morning. AFTER
all, the human factor is the only
real factor" he added.
This expression serves the double
purpose Of giving first-hand evidence
Of Mr.. Hughes personal stand on
labor's position and absolutely dis
credits the underhand methods re-
Gently assumed by some political op-
ponents who attempted to prove the
opposite by an isolated decision oi

Hughes concurred with the bench.
After the war we have got to look
out for. ourselves IL we are to main.

tinued the Republican nominee. in.

THE PACIFIC HIGHWAY AND
PREPAREDNESS

The strenuous appeal for pre-
paredness" being made by Major-Gen-
eral Franklin Bell for a nationally
constructed highway from the Mexi-
can Border to the Canadian line Is Of
especial interest to this community
and others situated along the prob
able line OF the Pacific Highway. The
proposed road would serve the double
purpose of industrial and military
preparedness, and In much nearer
than It first seems.
The Federal Aid Road Bill passed
short time ago is primarily car
rying out OF a plan for Industrial
preparedness, by bringing the present
more or less inaccessible agricultural,
mineral and timber lands OF the
National Forests into working units
as factors OF national production.
But the combination OF military
preparedness and industrial prepared
ness through more organized ma
tional highway construction is now
proposed. As one pational unit, this
would make Of the Pacific Highway
one continuous band OF concrete,
linking three states with the pro-
lection Of mobility. What such a

TO Preserve Her Hair

If women would use an Anti-Septic
Oil Shampoo instead of the soaps and
shampoos now so commonly used, they
would improve rather than injure the
delicate hair plants.
The hair plant is an oil plant and to
wash it with soaps or shampoos con
tanning free alkali works great injury.
1t not only cuts the natural oil of the
hair but it destroys the fatty roots of
the hair plant causing the hair to come
out.
