1000 WOMEN VOTERS.
Burlington's Treasury to Be. Enriched
About $4,000.

BURLINGTON, April 24.-It is cs-
timated that fully 1000 women have re-
qnested to have their names ON the
check lists in this city, under the new
law passed at the last session. of the
last legislature that women voters shall
file written request to have their
names placed on the check list and
shall pay a poll tax in order TO vote in
town and city elections. The poll tax
is likely to be around 81 in Burlington
this year so that this addition of voters
viii bring close to $4,000 into the treast
nry of the city.

CONT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT.
Connecticut Senate Refuses to Give
Women That Right.

HARTFORD, Conn, April 24-By a
rollcall vote of 10 to 16, the Connect
cut senate yesterday rejected bill per-
hitting women TO vote at a presiden-
tial election.
The bill came before the senate on q
divided report and it is believed that
the house, with membership of 25S
votes, may by small margin pass the
presidential suffrage bill. There is little
likelihood of the senate ever agreeing
to pass the bin, for the senate will
probably insist as il did on the feder-
al prohibition amendment.
The senate will, however, pass q res
olution giving full suffrage to women,
provided popular referendum of the
voters of the state enables the COVER
nof of the state to so proclaim.

MOLASSES EXPL0DES
AT BOSTON; 20 DEAD
Tank Containing 2,UU0,OOO

Boston, Jan. 1G-Fifteen to twenty
persons were killed and fifty to sew
enty-five injured by the explosion OF
storage tank of molasses in the
yard Of the Purity Distilling company,
near Copps wharf.
The explosion blew away two sup
porting pillars of the Atlantic Avenue
Elevated railway structure, demolish-
ed several buildings, threw an electric
freight car off the track. overturned
a number of heavily loaded trucks and
killed about a dozen horses.
The tank contained 100000 gallons
of molasses.
There was not the usual thunder
Gus defamation accompanying such
blasts, but rather low, rumbling
sound, more like an earthquake
Fragments of the tank We're thrown
into the air. Buildings crumpled up
as if the underpinnings had been pull
ed away from them. Scores of persons
in the buildings were buried in the
ruins.
The top of the tank shot into the
air. Then the walls collapsed.
A nearby tenement house fell in.
Two women and man We're taken
from the ruins, all injured.
The molaSses spread over the street
to depth of two or three inches.
Many of those killed or injured were
covered with molasses and could not
be identified readily.
Sailors from the U. S. S. Rockport,
at wharf nearby, were the first to
give assistance after the explosion.
They were quickly followed by sur
geons of the navy and members of the
Red Cross

GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFf
Save your hair! Double its beauty
in a few moments-try this:

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty OF your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, hea-
Wy, healthy hair if you have dan
druff. This destructive scurf rOhs
the hair of it's lustre, its strength
and it's very life, and if not over
come it produces a feverisEness and
itching of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded. dry, scraggy Or
too oily, get a small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter; apply lit
tie as directed and ten minutes af-
ter you will say this was the best
investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, 1ustrous. beautiful
hair and lots of it-no dandruff-
no itching scalp and no more fall
ing hair-you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually-why not
now?-Adv.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The United
States has been voted dry by the ac-
ton of the legislature of thirty-six
states in ratifying the national prOhi-
bttiOn amendment.
The Nebraska house ratified the
amendment today, making thirty-six
states to take similar action.
The thirty-six states that ratified
the national prohibition amendment
are as follows:
Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina,
North Dakota, Maryland. Montana,
Texas. Delaware, South Dakota, Mas

The prohibition amendment will not
60 into effect for one year after the
last of the necessary three-fourths Of
the states has ratified the amendment.
There is small consolation in this fact
for the liquor interests, however. The
nation goes dry anyhow July l of this
year under the emergency bill passed
by congress during the war, and re-
mains dry until President Wilson pro-
claims the Rehabilitation of the army.

S400,0O0,O0O NEEDED

Dire Consequ 9nces Forecast

Paris, Jan. 16.-Tne supreme coun-
Gil of supply and relief for the past
three days considering the situation
of the liberated countries stretching
from Belgium to Poland and Armenia
has decided the minimum sum neces-
sary to feed these peoples until next
summer is $4O0000,0OO.
The council has asked the treasury
departments of the associated govern
ments to determine how the money can
be provided. The allied governments
in Europe, it is said. have agreed to
undertake their full responsibilities.
Considerable difficulty arises from
the fact the bulk of the foodstuffs
must come from the United States.
While the allied governments can pay
for transportation and furnish cloth
ing and other services, the payments
made in the United States will great
ly exceed the $1OOOOO,OOO President
Wilson has asked congress to appro-
pirate.
Herbert c. Hoover, director general
of international relief, has proposed
commission representing each of the
four V powers be established in
each of the countries to be relieved
under the general terms of "relief to
liberated countries"
Mr.. Hoover also suggests every eff
fort shall be made to encourage and
sustain the governments in these
countries by placing in their hands
