Nav Share HiRhway Funds.

That New York with it's five counties
has not shared in the distribution Of
highway funds although 1t contributes
10 per cent of the amount used.
That four-hfths Of all The mandatory
legislation complained Of by the New
York City administration was enacted
in 1911. when the Legislature was
Democratic.
The Brown committee viii recon-
mend that one-half Of the automooiie.
tax be given to all of the counties OF
the state for the maintenance Of roads.
This will permit New York City
through its FIVE counties TO share in
this tax. At present it is all devoted
TO the maintenance Of roads outside Of
the city.
At present the mortgage tax and the
excise tax are shared by the STAKE with
the counties. but the temporary add
lion of % per cent ON the excise fees
under the law now goes entirely 20 the
state. The committee will recommend
that this be shared with the counties
like the rest Of the excise tax.

PACKING HOUSE OF
POWDER PLANT BURNS

Tacoma, Wash, Feb. s. Less than
eight hours after the nitroglycerin
mixing house blew up, killing three
men, one of the packing houses of the
Dupont Powder company's plant near
here, was destroyed by a fire of mys-
terious origin and an explosion last
night. News of the second disaster
was withheld by officials of the com
pany and became known today by ae-
cident.
|. j. Cox, superintendent of the Du-
pont Powder company, declared today
that he is unable to account for the
destruction of the packing house, and
intimated that outside agents may have
started the fire.
No one was seen in the vicinity of
the packing house previous to the dis
covery that it was in flames. 1t de-
veloped the fact that while similar ex-
plosions have occurred in powder pack
ing houses, such as the one destroyed,
they are very rare.
Extra precautions are being taken
today by officials of the Dupont com
pany to prevent further explosions or
fires.

dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well.known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
sulphur because it darkens so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied-it's so easy to use, too
You simply dampen a comb or soft
brush and draw it through your hair,
taking one strand at time. BY morn

Old Farmers Market
Is Thing Of the PasI

The farmers market, Ferry and Lib
erty streets, seems to be thing of the
past, as the sheds hae been torn down
and now there is nothing left except
the remembrance of what was and what
might have been The farmers mar.
ket, if again organized, will be under
the supervision of the city council.
About two months ago permission was
given by the council for the erection
of sheds for the market on Court street
adjoining the Stockton store. As the
permit to build these sheds provided
they must be of dressed lumber and
painted, no effort was made to bring
those erected at Ferry street. If the
market is to be established, enough
money would have to be raised to con.
struct sheds in accordance with the
permit of the council.
