women by the name of Adams were
brought up and charged with being
unlicensed fortune tellers. They have
place up on Seventh street north
west where for the sum of fifty
cents. or if you haven't the -four
bits two will do, they tell you all
that you don't already know about
yourself and some more.
\ cop went in there Saturday in
plain clothes and one of the women
said she could tell he was a police
man by looking at his head, and that
she saw trouble coming. The trouble
came all right and just as she said
that both of them were arrested.
The bumps on a PERSONS head
thOse they are born with, are signs
by which the women say they can
tell what kind of a person it is, how
much money you have and who
is going to get it. But Judge Pugh
thought it was cute trick to
tell fortunes without getting a Ii
cense. because so many witnesses
said that their heads were not touch
ed. The two women were put on their
personal bonds to get licenses.

T0DAY's BEAUTY MINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently If it is
entirely and properly cleaned
each time by the use of really
good shampoo. The easiest to use
and quickest drying shampoo that
we can recommend to our readers
is one that brings out all the nat
ural beauty of the hair and may
be enjoyed at very little expense,
by dissolving a teaspoonful of can
throX, which can be obtained from
any druggist, in a cup of hot water.
This makes a full cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to
apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. This
when rubbed into the scalp and
onto every strand of hair. chemi-
cally dissolves all impurities. 1t
is very soothing and cooling in
its action. as well as beneficial to
both scalp and hair After rinsing
out the lather so created, you will
find the scalp is fresh. clean and
free from dandrufr. while the hair
dries quickly and evenly, develop
ing bright luster and a soft fluff
finess that makes it seem very
heavy.-Adv.

Jersey Officials Ask
Stricter MunitiOn Laws

Jersey City officials last night de-
clared that the Kingsland catastrophe
might have been prevented If proper
legislation had been enacted following
the recent Black Tom explosion. While
Jersey City suffered only little. its
greatest loss being in broken windows
In the Hudson City district, yesterday
EXPLOSION proved that the menace OF
munition plants still threatened its
citizens.
Mayor Mark NJ. Pagan, who sent a
corps Of doctors and nurses 20 the
scene of the explosion on hearing OF
the accident, called the occurrence ter
rifying." a.. -.
1T seems TO me-" he said, in view
of the terrible lesson taught by the
Black Tom explosion, something should
have been done 10 prevent a repetition
of that horror"
George f. Brensinger, Commissioner
Of Revenue and Finance, reviewed the
recent efforts of the city TO lessen the
danger brought to the city by the con
slant shipments of munitions from the
neighborhood.
"The manufacture Of explosives and
their transportation through eongested
territory should not be permitted he
said. Following the Black Tom ex-
plosion Jersey City passed an ordi-
nance forbidding transportation OF ex-
plosives through the city. The rail-
roads obtained an injunction in the

went to President Wilson. He ordered

A. Harry Moore, Director of Parks
and Public Property, said that the peo-
pie were beginning to realize that mu
nitions plants must be put out into the
open country.
Since the outbreak Of the European
war led to the sudden development OF
the munition manufacturing industry
in this country more than fifty severe
explosions, many OF them mysterlous,
in origin, have occurred in plants OF
powder and chemical companies.

The Canadian Car and Foundry Com
pany has been for the last year prac-
tically an ammunition factory Of the
Russian Government. It was an $780,
900 900 contract obtained from Russia
for three-inch shells that stimulated
the concern to the growth in buildings
and increase in production which have
marked its existence in the last eigh-
teen months.
Russia not only awarded the con-
tract to the firm, but in January, 1915,
when it was found that the COMPANY
had not the working capital to carry on
its shell manufacture, lent it 100000
600, which put it on it's feet.
In the spring Of 1915, W. W. Butler,
president and managing director
of the newly organized concern, went
abroad hunting munition contracts. He
returned TO New York on June q with
the order on which the Car and Foun-
dry Company has been working ever
since.
