This Makes the Curl
Stay in Your Hair

The slmerine method is unusually
popular just now, according to the drug
gists. This is largely due to the warm
weather and because women are now
spending so much of their time out of
doors. 1t is a simple method, not only
productive of the loveliest natural look
ing Curls and waves, but it keeps the
hair in curl no matter how hot or how
moist the day. or how hard the wind
blows.
All one need do is to wet a clean
tooth brush with liquid silmerine, draw
this through the hair before doing it up,
and the hair will dry in just the sweet
est waves and crinkles. This will also
keep the hair beautifully soft, silky and
lustrous. A few ounces of liquid sill
merine will last for months. adv.

friends of the measure might be wor-
ried or doubtful in this regard it s
but fair that they should be reas
sured.
This bill was drawn with the as
sistance, aid and advice of some If
the best legal minds Of the state.
The provisions of the bill are direct
ly in line with those of other state
in which the constitutionalitv ha,
been upheld n their respective su-
preme courts. Dozens of attorneys
even the most skeptical, who have
taken the trouble to examine the re
cent authorities as well as tho Older
authorities have unanimously conced-
&c that this bill, if voted favorabIv

will be held to be valid and constitu-
tional. The supreme courts of Min
nesota and Wisconsin and other
states in which the question has been
raised have upheld the constitutions
atty Of similar acts, so the friends Of
Of the veterans have nothing to fear
in this regard.
As to the merits of the bill it is up

desire of the people of this state 10

that rates in the Northwest were dis

with those of the Atlantic seaboard
and the South Territory, so when the
hearing came on at Washington the
advances were considered as to three
groups-the Far East, the South and
Western Classification Territory.
Under the law, the Federal Commits

duce enough revenue to meet the
needs of the poorer roads. The same

ARGUING FOR REFERENDUM
NUMBER ONE.

SEATTLE, Aug. ~. - Opinion
seems to prevail among some news
paper editors and voters, that Refer
endum Bill No. / if passed favorably
by citizens of this state at the next
general election, will in some manner
increase taxes on real estate and per
sonal property. says statement issued
by the Automobile Club of Western
Washington.
A few newspaper editors have tax
en- the stand that the state is "bond-
ed to death" and therefore Rcfcren-
dun Bill No. should not be passed.
Nothing could be further from the
truth than these assertions says the
automobile clubs statement
1t is pointed out that Referendum
No. /, commonly called the Carlyop
bill, does not increase taxes, but in
reality reduces them. The reduction
is brought about through the incroqs
ed values of real estate that will fol
low the paving of 1916 miles of state
highway under this bill The reduc-
ton goes further, it is asserted. IN
that the cost of living will be reduced
through the reduction in the expense
of hauling produce and merchandise
to and from market and through the
saving of S26,000,00 every year n
gasoline and tires and 100000 .
year in road maintenance. Ii is now
costing the taxpayers Of this state
more than $1,000,000 a year Just 20
maintain roads. without building n
single yard
Referendum No. would pave 1915
miles of highway with a permanent
hard surface in six years.
The charge that the state is 'Thond-
ed to death" has no application to the
Carlyon measure, according to the az
tomobile club. The bonds provided
in this bill would be paid entirely
from the license fees on motor vehic-
les, without assessing a single cent
against the real estate or personal
property of the state. In other words
the automobile and truck owners
would foot the bill and present the
state with 1916 miles of paved high
ways.
The Carlyon bill provides a quick.
effective way of doing more in SIX
years than the state has been able TO
do under the present "pay- as-you- 90"
policy in the last fifteen years. I'm
der the "pay yougo" plan there Is
no assurance that Washington will
have any more paved roads in the
next fifteen years than it has now.
1t all depends on the whims of the
legislature.
For years the legislature has been
attempting to apportion road funds
throughout the state and as a result
Washington has a few miles of pav-
ed highways leading from the chief
centers of population, but with no
mainline trunk highways crossing
the state or serving in an efficient
