LAUNCHES
ANOTHER

The Seaborn shipyards Tuesday
afternoon launched the second of
the standard wooden steamships
to be built in the u. s. for the
Emergency Fleet corporation.
The Wahkiakum, sister ship of
the Quinault, first of the Ferris
type wooden steamers, glided down
the ways at 430 in the afternoon,
to take her place in Uncle Sans
war fleet.
The sponsor for the vessel was
Mrs. w. A. McGhee, wife of Capt.
McGhee, district officer in charge
of wood ship construction.
A telegram was immediatel
sent to Chairman Hurley of the U.
S. Emergency Fleet corporation,
notifying him that the steamer
had been launched successfully.
An hour later President Morrison
received a message from Hurley,
congratulating the Seaborn plant
for its speed in construction.
It took less than three months
to build the Wahkiakum.
Hull No. probably will be
launched early next months. A
ship a month is the program Of
the Seaborn yards for the future.
The Wahkiakum is the 18th ship
to be launched by the company.

II you want plenty of thick,

1t will starve your hair and ruin

1t doesn't do much good to try
to brush or wash 1t out. The only

Is to dissolve 1t, then you destroy
1t entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid ar
Won; apply 1t at night when retir-
ing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub 1t in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, most, II not all,
of your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace Of II.
You will find, too. that all itch
ing and digging OF the scalp wit
stop, and your hair will look and
feel a hundred times better. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no

APPEAL SENT
TO RUSSIANS
BY u. S.LABOR

WASHINGTON, d. c., March

sent a message to the people of
Russia urging once more a strong
resistance against Teuton domina-
ton.
President Samuel Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor

cable to Russia for labor.
The message urges the Russian
soviet to say how America can
help; that the great labor hosts
OF this country are willing to ex-
tend an assisting hand. Gompers
cable reads:
ITO the all-Russian soviet, Mos
cow: We address you in the name
Of world liberty. We assure you
that the people of the United
States are panied by every blow at
Russian freedom, as they would
be by blow at their own.
THE American people desire to
be of service to the Russian peo-
pie in their struggle to safeguard
freedom and realize its opportuni-
ties. We desire to be informed
as to how we may help. We speak
for great organized movement
of working people who are devot-
cd to the cause of freedom and the
ideals of democracy.
I'VE assure you also that the
whole American nation ardently
desires to be helpful to Russia and
awaits with eagerness an indica-
ton from Russia as to how help
may most effectively be extended.
To all those who strive for free
dom we say courage and justice
must triumph IL all free people
stand united against autocracy.
We await your suggestions.
