Friends VS.. Acquaintance.
the Dntrnit Eren Press

Frcu the Detroit Free Press.
There is a touch of pathos in the fact
that both young men and young women
have been driven by loneliness to make
an appeal for friends through the papers
of the country. DESIGNATING a possible
essay in adventure on the part of some,
it still stands to reason that there must
be many strangers in city like Detroit
who feel the need of companionship so
deeply as to resort to unconventional
methods of obtaining it.
1t may be asked why be so dependent
upon others? Why not cultivate re-
sources within? Why not make friends
of books? Why should it be necessary
to be eternally talking or doing some
Evening star., 1919-05-12

thing that calls for company? The rea-
son is that man is a social being and
Graves companionship. Like most other
animals, he thrives best among those of
his own kind.
The word friend is frequently msap-
piled to mere acquaintances. The latter
are casuals. One may have scores of
aoQuaintanceS and yet be without
friends. 1t is a common but mistaken
idea that we choose ,our friends. We
may choose our acquaintances. but not
our friends: they come through some
secret law of sympathy, not by conscious
intention.

NEEDED SEWERS
AND PAVING TO
DEPEND ON LOAN
Voters to Pass on Important
Issues at General
Election

Miles of sanitary and storm water
yards of new paving will be pos
sible in the city with the approval
by the voters of the two big loans
for these important improvement
projects.
In addition to voting for a bond
issue to provide for bathing facih-
ties and for the city's share of the
cost of the memorial bridge in State
street, two other loan questions of
equal importance will be submitted
to voters for their approval.
One. provides Tor borrowing $780,
600 for extension of trunk and small
er sewers; and the other for $4,000
to pay for paving street intersections
and in front of nonassessable prop
critics such as churches and schools.
Need Imperative
City Engineer NJ. b. Cowden and
City Commissioner w. II. Lynch de-
clared that with the rapid growth
of the city, especially in the out
lying districts, it is becoming i'm
perative that the city provide more
sewers and also pave highways
which are being travelled more each
month.
1t is understood that among the
highways which will likely be paved
in the near future are: Chestnut
streets, Eighteenth to Nineteenth;
Nineteenth, Chestnut street south to
Philadelphia and Reading railway:
Bellevue Road Eighteenth to Nine
teenth; Cameron, Calder to Maclay;
Herr, Cameron to Fourteenth; South
Front, Paxton to Iron alley; Jeffer-
son, north to division, and other
important streets constantly in use.
Paving to Go Ahead
With a bond issue of $4,000 au-
thorized for paving work, 81, 900, 900
worth of asphalt paving can be laid
in the city, officials estimate. In
many districts property owners are
anxious to have paving work done
and will sign petitions to that ef-
feet. but at present the city has prac-
tically no funds to pay for work
done at intersections or in front of
nonassessable properties.
Important trunk line sewer extern
sions will be made possible by voting
in favor of the 100000 loan for
that purpose. At least five miles of
large sewers can be constructed,
many smaller ones can be built,
and others repaired.
1t Is planned to build a large
extension to the Spring creek sani-
tary sewer which will provide proper
drainage for the district east of
Twenty-first street. The Mish Run
storm water sewer also can be ex-
tended about one-half mile east.
Another large sanitary sewer is
needed for the district north of Herr
street and east of. Seventeenth street,
which, when built, will be made
large enough so that when outlying
districts are annexed to the city
proper drainage can be provided for.
Other drainage which should be
provided according to< officials in
cludes a storm water sewer in Wico-
nisco street and a large sanitary
sewer in North Sixth street, above
Division.

A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently # it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of a 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 natural
beauty of the hair and may he ell
joyed at very iittie expense, by dis
solving teaspoonful of canthrox,
wh't l. .can lie obtained froal. any
GrutSslsts, In II sLp of hot water.
TH.C makes a flII cup of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just to
the top of the head. This, when
rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand OF. hair, chemically dis
solves 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
while the hair dries quick
ly and evenly, developing u bright
luster and a soft fluffiness that
makes it seem very heavy.
