Building Inspector John W. Allen is inspecting a number Of buildings under construction with regard 10 their fireproof makeup. He has issued the following report:
 The inspector would like to have all contractors follow the law in keep ing woodwork two inches away from chimney and then closing same two inch space at each floor with incom- bustible material.
 "Nine inspections were made Satur- day afternoon and six viola tions of this kind were found.
 Ut is strange that reputable con- tractors, architects and owners will allow this to be done.
 You will find the largest record of fires starting from faulty chimneys- but not the faulty chimneys so much as the faulty contractor, by putting the woodwork near the chimney

Charges They "DeliberateIy Chose to
Embarrass Administration to
ImperiI Railroads.

Washington, March Son the ad-
journment of congress with important
legislation killed by a Republican
senate filibuster, President Wilson
issued statement declaring that "a
group of men in the senate have de-
liberately chosen to embarrass the ad-
ministration of the government, to i'm
peril the financial interests of the rail-
way systems of the country"
The presidents statement follows:
"A group of men in the senate have
deliberately chosen to embarrass the
administration of the government, to
imperil the financial interests of the
railway systems of the country and
make arbitrary use of powers intended
to be employed in the interest of the
people.
ut is plainly my present duty to at
tend the peace conference in Paris.
1t is also my duty to be in close con-
tact with the public business during
session of the congress. l must take
my choice between these two duties

Of the country will think that l am
making the right choice.

1T is not in the interest of the right
conduct of public affairs that l should
call the congress in special session
while it is impossible for me to be in
Washington because of a more press
ing duty elsewhere, to cooperate with
the houses.
II take it for granted that the men
who have INSTRUCTED and prevented the
passage Of necessary legislation have
taken all of this into consideration
and are willing to assume the RESPONSE
bility Of the impaired efficiency Of the
government and the embarrassed fl
nances of the country during the time

THINKS PEOPLE
APPROVE LEAGUE
President Asserts Americans Are
in Favor of Forming So
ciety of Nations.
CRITICS ARE WARNED
Wilson in New York Address Asserts
He Is Going to Peace Conference
to Battle for League With
Renewed Vigor.

New York, March SIN an address
here on the eve of his return to Paris,
President Wilson told the American
people that he was going to the peace
conference to battle with renewed
vigor for creation of a league of ma
tions.
"The first thing I am going to tell
the people on the other side Of the
water is that an overwhelming ma
Jority of the American people is in
favor Of the league of nations" said
the President.
Speaking after former President
Taft had expounded the main features
of the proposed covenant of nations,
Mr.. Wilson told the vast audience,
which filled the Metropolitan opera
house, his opinions Of opponents Of
the league plan in America.
No Party Can Claim League.
mo party has the right to appro-
pirate this issue and no party will, in
the long run, dare oppose it," he as
serted.
Asserting that the league of nations
is meant as notice to all outlaw ma
lions" that the great peoples of the
world will no longer tolerate interna-
tional crimes, the President said that
Europe was a "bit sick at heart at
this very moment because it seems
that statesmen have no vision and that
the only vision has been the vision Of
the people"
"And l am amazed-not alarmed,
but amazed-that there should be in
some quarters such a comprehensive
ignorance of the state of the world"
continued Mr.. Wilson. Those gentle
men do not know what the mind of
men is just now. Everybody else does.
81 do not know where they have
been closeted; I do not know by what
influences they have been blinded; but
l do know that they have been sepa-
rated from the general currents Of
thought of mankind
"Heart of World Is Awake"
"And l want to utter this solemn
warning, not in the way of a threat;
the forces of the world do not threat
en-, they operate. The great tides of
the world do not give notice that they
are going to rise and run; they rise in
their majesty and overwhelming might,
and those who stand in the way are
overwhelmed. Now the heart of the
world is awake and the heart of the
world must be satisfied"
Americas soldiers, he said, went
overseas feeling they were sacredly
bound to the realization of those ideals
which their President had enunciated
when the United States went into the
war
There is another thing" the Presi-
dent said, (which critics of the league
had not observed
They not only have not observed
the temper of the world, but they have
not even observed the temper of those
splendid boys in khaki that they sent
across the seas" he asserted.

will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair. fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan

your hair, taking one small strand at

an appearance of abundance; an in

Get a small bottle of Knowlton's

that it has been neglected or injured
by careless observation-disclosures all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it if you will just try little Dam
