Instead of trimming your -corns

step into any drug store and ask for a

will cost very little but is sufficient to

ments:
Senator Johnson, California -
The outlook is bully. This fight
has gained strength every minute
since one or two men with courage
had the nerve to force it. We
stand a good show to make the
rich pay for the war.
Senator Chamberlain The
logic of those demanding wealth
bear fair share of the tax burr
den, is unassailable. There IS
great popular approval of this
movement.
Senator Lodge-Why prate of
justice and fairness If we are to
treat those who must obviously
bear the great share of the coun-
try's financial burden with injus-
tice?
Senator Smoot-I don't believe
the senate will vote to commit the
country to such an unsound fin
ancial policy as is proposed here.
The committee bill will be adopted
with a few more changes.
Senator LaFollette = We're
right and we believe we'll win,

PLUNCES
INTO A
RAVINE

Failing to stop or turn at the
end of North 18th street, William
Heines drove his car thru a hedge,
across two lawns, across Rosa
mond way and plunged with his
car 40 feet into the deep gulch
near the North Cakes street
bridge shortly after midnight
Thursday.
He is lying in the Tacoma GEN
eral hospital seriously, If not ia
tally injured.
Heines is foreman of the Puget
Sound Iron q Steel Co. and lives
at 1924 North G street.
Failure to see the road ahead
OF him in the darkness Is believed
to have been the cause of the ac-
cident. He was returning to his
home at midnight, travelling east
on North 25th street.
When he came to the end of the
street he failed to turn, plunging
thru the hedge of DR.. McNerth-
ney's residence and across lawns
straight over the top of the gulch.
The car, a Stoddard-Dayton
roadster, landed right side up at
the bottom of the gulch, near the
home of U. S. Marshal Boyle. The
wheels were smashed flat under
the body.
Heines was thrown violently
against the steering gear and is
believed to have suffered internal
injuries.

cago, Cleveland and Detroit.
If they can go back to the
east in the lead it will be a tre-
mendous boost for their pennant
chances.
Should they be turned back by
these clubs, however, the White
Sox will remain favorites.
One thing Jack Barry has to
consider this year-his club is not
up to the standard of the 1916
aggregation. His pitchers are not
doing SO well as they did last
year, and his second stringers are
not up to the job of turning back
heavy hitting clubs.
Nevertheless the Red Sox are
playing the same type of ball, re-
fusing to crack under any strain
and making the breaks for them
selves

Murray, because of Williams
lack of practice this year. is ex-
pected to win the patriotic cham
pionship, which is as far as the
national association is going in
the matter of championships.
Neither Williams nor Murray
had an easy time driving his way
into the semi-finals. Obstacles of
the toughest kind were forced on
Williams by young Harold Throck-
morton, the boy from Elizabeth,
N. j. Williams required five sets
to dispose of the youngster.
Murray was given scare by

RED SOX TEST
THEIR METTLE
ON TRIP WEST

The mettle of the Red Sox is
being put to its real test of the
season.
The next 10 days probably will
tell whether or not Jack Barry
can hope to guide his crew to its
third successive pennant.
Last year the Red Sox, after
one of the greatest races in Amer
lean league history, invaded the
west barely in the lead. The
strain was the most tremendous
ever put on a ball club. And right
there they won the pennant, win
ming from both the White Sox
and Tigers, their closest rivals.
Practically the same situation
confronts the Bostonese now.
They must meet the same teams
they turned back last year, and
