NEED MORE RECRUITS
Consumption in England
Urged as Next Move.

London, April 1s.-All-round con-
scription is being more and more
strongly urged in England.
1t is only partial as yet. Unmarried
men up to the age of Al have been
called to the colors, but with numer-
Gus exceptions. The call for married
men has applied only to those who
have declared their Willingness to
serve.
The element known as the ginger
group wants to make the compulsory
summons all-embracing. 1t is also
urged that men up to AS be included.
The "gingerites" contention is that
the war is now at it's most critical
stage and many more men are needed
Immediately.

the next few MONTHS" adds the Lon
don Express, the struggle may go on
until Europe is bankrupt and we are
forced to agree to an inconclusive
peace. The occasion demands strong.

CIRCULATE PETITIONS
Citizens Out Today for Audi
tOriIum Bonds.

At the suggestion of George Godfrey
Moore, large number of prominent
citizens of the city will this afternoon
and tomorrow circulate petitions in
the respective bloc in which they
live. for signatures 10 petitions asking
for an election on the new auditorium
and city jail proposition.
The purpose of these additional pc
titions is to secure 1925 names to be
added to the petitions already filed
with the city commissioners.
Upon the proving of the petitions it
was found that something like thou
sand names of signers were those of
persons who are not qualified voters
because they have not registered. 1t
is stated that of the 5000 names sub
mitted, there is still need of S25 more,
after eliminating the list of the I'M
qualified voters.
To get this requisite number, Mr..
Moore suggested that number of citi-
zens take petitions and circulate them
in the various blocks in which they
live during the hours in which they
are at home. The idea seemed good
and will be put into effect today and
tomorrow.
1t is hoped to secure the necessary
number of additional names not later
than Thursday md that the election
on the new auditorium proposition
will be called by the city commits
sioners before Saturday.

Lincoln, Neb., April 1S.-The most

nomination for governor. Mayor
Charles w. Bryan of Lincoln, brother
of William j. Bryan, is the dry candi-
date, while the vets have concentrated
their vote on Keith Neville of North

designates its brewery CONTROL

The vets, having control of the
Democratic state committee, he said,
declared it was best to let the issue
rest, and then they quietly got busy
and sought to nominate men so as to
capture the nominations in both

said, he is content to fight it out.

once, and your hair will be fluffy, lust

YOU'LL GET RID OF
BLACKHEADS SURE

There is one simple, safe and sure
way that never fails to get rid of
blackheads and that is to dissolve
them.
To do this get about two ounces
of plain powdered neroxin from any
drug store-sprinkle a little on a hot,
wet sponge-rub over the blackheads
briskly-wash the parts and you will
be surprised how the blackheads have
disappeared. Big blackheads, little
blackheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving
the parts without any mark whatever.
Blackheads are simply mixture of
dust and dirt and secretions from the
body that form in the pores of the
skin. Pinching and squeezing only
cause irritation, make large pores, and
do not get the blackheads out fter
they become hard. The powdered
neroXin and the water simply dissolve
the blackheads so they wash right out,
leaving the pores free and clean and in
their natural condition. Any one trou-
bled with these unsightly blemishes
should certainly try this simple

Runs FIivver Four Miles on

Experimental FOR YEARS
Inventor Is German Chemist OF
Farmingdale, l.. 1.
Pinch of Wonderful Powder
Makes Engine POp-POp.

New York, April 1S.-Following his
assertion that he has discovered
chemical which gives water the kick"
of gasoline when used for power, Dr.
Louis Enricht has given demonstra-
tions of the ability of his y cents
per gallon Juice" to push an automo-
bile.
So exhume the flivver, laid up since
gasoline outstripped champagne in
price, fill up the tank with water from
the faucet, drop in one of old Doctor
Enricht's mysterious powders and
turn the crank. Then drive up and
down before the nearest fuel station
making faces at the manager.
This is not the beginning of mo-
torist's delirium. induced by the old
spring fret and the latest quotation on
gasoline. It is what Louis Enricht,
German chemist of Farmingdale, L. l.,
says is going to happen almost imme-
diately-just as soon az his plans are
perfected His compound, added to
water makes, he insists liquid as
stable as gasoline, but more highly
explosive.
For years the chemist has been
working with the dream in his mind.
Today he believes his experiments
have at last achieved success and that
he has made a discovery which will
give to the world its greatest revolu
ton in transportation.
Make a Test.
Little was known about the man
until DIR. William B. Gibson of Hunt
ington, l.. l., who has been interested
in his work, brought a New York
chemist to Farmingdale to watch a
test of the Enricht invention. An or
binary runabOut was used; the gas
tank was emptied and inspected, the
engine was examined by a garage man
and pronounced unaltered in any way.
Then the tank was filled with water,
poured in from an ordinary garden
hose, and a small amount of powder
was dissolved in it. An electrode con-
nected with two dry batteries was then
placed in the solution and the car was
cranked up.
Pops Right Justify.
The engine popped Justify and the
car moved off 1t was run four miles
before the test was completed.
Il have run my two cars for the
last three months" Mr. Enricht SAYS
land in that time I have not bought
drop of gasoline. have found how
to do what chemists have been dream
ing of for years. 1 have discovered
a formula which will enable me to get
hydrogen simply and easily from
water and explode it without any dan
ger of difficulty
AT present I would rather say
nothing about the discovery" DIR. Glib
son said over the telephone last night
1T sounds so Utopian 1 can hardly
believe il to be true. I am almost con-
WINGED that Mr.. Enricht has made a
most remarkable discovery, and vet il
seems as though there must be a
niger in the woodpile' somewhere.
If Enricht is wrong he is honestly mis-
taken. There is no sign of trickery
about his work"

NEWSIE TO SENATOR
William Lorimer Tells of Picturesque
Career, at Bank Failure Trial.

Chicago, April 1S.-The trial of Will
liam Lorimer, former president OF the
defunct La Sale Street Trust & Saw
ings bank on charges of conspiracy in
connection with the failure of the
bank in 1914 was resumed today with
the continuance of Mr.. Lorimers tes-
timony on events leading up to the
closing of the La Sale street institu-
ton.
that the antagonism of Chicago was
largely responsible for his troubles at
the La Sale Street bank and in the
United States senate, he said he had
little to do with managing the bank as
he was out of the city most of the
time He reviewed the story of his
life from the time he was a newsboy
and the main support of his mother up
to the time he became the president
of the bank, the head of several cor
porations and q member of the United
States senate from which body he was
ousted after an investigation into al
legged illegal practices incident to his
election.
Mr.. Lorimer related the details of
interviews with Charles G. Dawes. a
banker and former comptroller of the
currency, and other bankers in an eff
fort to secure clearance. Aid was re-
fused him, he said
"AlI of this" Mr.. Lorimer said,
land the fact that the newspapers
contained the story almost immedi-
ately following Mr.. Forgan's telling
Mr. Munday our bank would not be
taken into the clearing house asso-
citation, led me to believe that the
bankers of Chicago did not want any
one here who was liable to build up
a large bank but they were willing to
take our customers.
THE printing of the newspaper
story about the clearing house action
caused a run on the bank, $1,000, 900
being withdrawn"

GIRLS ADOPT A UNIFORM.
Mcpherson High School Students Will
All Wear "NIiddies.''

Mcpherson, Kan, April 1S.-Girls
of the Mcpherson high school by
vote have decided that they will have
a uniform dress system in vogue at the
beginning of the next school year. The
matter was put to them by the prin-
cipal of the high school, who allowed
them a week to think over and dis
cuss the question. They were almost
unanimous in favor of the plan.
The girls decided that they would
wear white colored middies with dark
skirts. Each class will wear different
colored ties, these to be the class col
ors. During the cold weather they
will wear Peter Thompson sweaters.
The move is one to keep high school
girls from overdressing and to bring
about a more democratic spirit in
dress
