ASK AID
TO.STOP
FLOODS

w. ], Roberts was reelected
chief engineer for the fifth of the
six-year period of the inter-county
river improvement work, at a
meeting of Pierce and King county
commissioners which lasted most
of the day Thursday.
Chester Thorne of Tacoma, was
chosen seventh member of the III
ter-county board.
Engineer Roberts report for
December showed that while the
floods of last month were SO per
cent greater in volume than the
big flood of 1906, the river i'm
provement work had saved Au-
burn, the south end of King coun-
ty, North Puyallup and the lower
Puyallup valley.
Property owners and manufac-
turers on the tideflats appeared
before the commissioners to ask
that something be done to keep
the river from damaging property
on the tideflats. John Roberts,
president of the Puget Sound Iron
4 Steel Co. said the recent flood
did about $4,000 damage to his
property.
A new river channel 300 feet
wide from the Indian school bridge
was suggested. Another plan
proposed was the get the govern
ment to build a waterway with a
channel deep enough for naviga-
ton to Puyallup. A committee
was appointed to investigate the
question.
Claiming his company's prop
erty had been damaged more than
100000 by the flood Manager
Bean of the T. r. & p. asked for
financial assistance in restoring
the washed-out section of the
Puyallup short line bridge.
Damage by the flood to the new
river Improvement work was esti.
mated at less than s per cent oil
the total so far by Engineer
Roberts.

HIS SON

L. Y. Stayton, cement contractor
Of Tacoma and prominent in poll
tics, furnished $1,000 bonds Thurs
day afternoon to obtain the re-
lease from custody of Peter M.
Dabroe, superintendent of city
water mains Dabroe had been in
jail 16 hours following a raid up
on his home by police officers of
the dry squad armed with search
warrants, and their discovery of a
trunk containing 81 quarts of
whisky In Dabroe's garage.

cd a continuance of his hearing for
one week. Attorney j. F. O'Brien
is representing the son.
Peter Dabroe blames his son for
ownership of the whisky found in
the Dabroe garage, and will try to
prove his sons guilt in order to
clear himself.
Attorney Arntson declared that
the father would not attempt 10
defend his son. "Dabroe has spent
most of his life getting his boy
out of trouble, but he Is thru, >"
said the attorney. He will not try
to save his son this time"
According to Arntson, the
younger Dabroe came from Mon
tana with his wife last summer,
making the trip in an auto equip
ped with a camp outfit. He asked
his fathers permission TO leave a
trunk in the Dabroe garage. Young
Dabroe told his father that 1t
contained canned goods and cloth
ing.
That's all the father knows
about this booze" said Attorney
Arntson. "He was as much dunn
founded as anyone when the police
broken open that trunk and found
It filled with liquor"

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut Oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath-
err rinses out easily. and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
flne and silky. bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get muisified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
months.-Adv.

The enemy has progressed about a

there exists a spirit of confidence in

It is clear. too. that the American

The enemy losses have been far
