SCIENTISTS TO
MEET In SEATTLE

San Francisco. May 2S.-Thc prof.
vect to scientifically explore tho re-
sources of the Pacific ocean will be
further advanced by the scientists
who will, gather at Seattle June 1919
for the fourth annual meeting Of the
Pacific division of the American AS
ISOLATION for the Advancement OF
Science. b..
The Immediate practical benefit to
be derived from this work. which
will require international co-opera-
ton, it is said. will be the replacing
of hit or miss methods hitherto used
in the fishing industry which an or
derby procedure based on an accurate
knowledge of the ocean flora and
fauna.
"Wh shall be able to farm the
ocean," said Winthrop w. Sargent,
secretary of the California academy
of sciences.
w. L. Allen of the scripps institu-
ton for biological research at La
Jolla. Cal. will present a paper in
the symposium or 1.-THE Animal and
Plant Resources Of the North Pacific
Ocean, which will deal with the re-
%lationship of the phyto plankton or
floating plant life of the ocean to it's
animal life. This will seek to show
that a knowledge Of this ocean pas
turage'' is perhaps as important to
the conservation Of the fisheries as
are the forage requirements of our
land species to the industry of stock
raising. The inaccessibility of the
ocean alone has prevented science
from contributing as much to the
success Of the former as to the later
industry.
DR.. D. T. MacDougal, director of
the desert laboratory of h Carnegie
institution of Washington. will pre-
sent a paper at this meeting in which
a discussion will be made of some
Of the biological m physical bar
riers which limit the distribution Of
plants. Fourteen years ago a series
Of experiments was begun by DR..
MacDougal in which 200 species Of
plants from various localities were
introduced into four stations. from
the mountain tops in Arizona to the
sea shore at the Coastal laboratory
Of the Carnegie institution of Wash
ington. in order to ascertain how
plants are modified by a change Of
environment. The congratulations
from those experiments will be pre-
sented at the Seattle meeting.

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to, keep your hair in
good condition, be, careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, ana
is very harmful. Mulsihed cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely g~reaseless), is mitch better than
anything else you car use for sham
pooling. rs this can't possibly inture
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
%spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair inc scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily: and removes every
particle OF dust. dirt, dahdruff and *
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves 1t flne and
sllky. bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
h. You can get Mu1siied cocoAnut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. It
IS very cheap. and a few ounces il
enough to last everyone In the family
for months.

NINTH DISTRICT

Reserve Bank Re
port For May Shows Bet
ter General Conditions.

Minneapolis. Mimi, May 2s.-The
folle wing report is given out by the
Ninth federal reserve bank and re-
views the crop and business conditions
in this district for the month OF May:
The steadily accumulating evidence
of the month indicates that the peak
Of high prices has been reached, and
that q general break has occurred.
Retail trade has slowed down per-
ceptibly, and. the slowing down pro-
cess has been marked by increased
efforts to move goods. accompanied
by price reductions and widely adver-
tised sales. There, seems to be good
reason to believe that the steady ad-
vance in retail prices, which has con-
tinued since the early months of the
,WRr. q comerto an end. While there
will still be advances in certain lines
and on certain classes OF, goods due
to. shortages, difficulties in securing
delivery and maintaining stocks, and
while 1t will be some time before price
adjustments have become sufficiently
pronounced to alter the cost of living,
the drift is in the right direction, and
substantial changes are in progress.
Several factors have contributed in an
important way to the changes during
the month. There has been q grow
ing rebellion on the part Of the pub
tic against excessive prices, and a
gradual spread of the determination
not to buy high priced goods or sub
nit to further profteering. This has
resulted in part from gradual in
creases in money rates and in part
from the lower quotations in govern
ment securities, which have served to
call the attention Of the general pub
lie to the faet.. that q. general re-
adjustment is under way. Another
factor Of great Importance is tbs
breakdown of transportation, which
is more serious than anything bushes.
has experienced in the United States
at any previous time. The movement
Of all goods is abnormally delayed ant
there has been, during the month, {
slowing down of production in SOM

number in April as compared with a
year ago.. but an increase in liabili-
ties of o $50 per cent, total LA
bilities amounting to s6S1,0 900 for 16
concerns.
Less Building.
In the lumber industry the reports
indicate hat the demand for home
building has decreased II whole
salers of building material report that
the tonnage mOyed is under thai of
an average year. This appeurs to be
/ the result of reluctance on the part
of the public to go ahead with the
more important building plans on ac-
count of high material prices and
high labor rates. The building trade
is affected by strikes at a number of
points.
April building statistics from nine
representative cities of the district
indicate, as compared with last, month,
an increase in the number Of permits
from LOO to zoos. and an Increase
in valuation from s3,272.61O to s4,-
410.351, or an increase of over SO
per cent. This increase is not as sig
nificant as it appears at first glance
because there is Il marked tendency
to c%onfinc operations to petty pro-
jects, such as garages and the aver

creased from $3.50 TO $2.196. OF

ing and alterations. The valuation OF
the new construction totals $3,223.73a
and the repairing and alterations
!, $744,224. The comparison with last
year in eight Of the cities shows 6
decrease in the number Of permit:
from 1890 to 1885. and a slight in
! crease in the valuation from s3,917.'
400 to 81 800, 951. Having regard t
; the increased prices of materials
there is obviously a decline as com
pared with a year ago.

to think he was SO saucy while he was
helpless.

pecks on the head that did not feel
very good.

to him and said. why can't you take
Jerry by the topknot and pull him
out Of the gun and that will be pun
ishment enough for him." Mrs. Hawk
agreed to try, and without saying
anything to Jerry, she flew above him

Jerry thought his head was coming

him out of the gum. "

Sammy was giving a little warning.

Now you can bet Mrs. Sparrow
Hawk was angry. She thought first she
would call MIR. Weasel and let him
take the blood all out of jerry, and
then she thought that would be a bad
sign and perhaps 1t would make her
unhappy the rest of her life. She came
down beside Jerry and pecked him a
time or two OF the side Of the head.

Alabama Power Company to Supply Montgomery
 With Power

Some time during the coming week electric current from the Coosa river, power plant of the Alabama Power Company will be turned on to the wires of the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company. and once more the dwellers in the capital city will enjoy the luxuries of a real city.
 The 44,000-volt transmission line from Lock 12 to Montgomery will be completed the early part of the week and it is expected that by April 1 all necessary connections with the Mont eomery system will have been made and the current then turned on.
 When the dam across the Tallapoosa river near Ta1lassee gave way under the huge volume of water that flooded and overflowed the river early in De- without electricity for lighting or power purposes. The two steam plants were put in operation, but within a cay or two both of these were out of commission.
 Prior to the flood one of the Mont gomery companies contracted with the Alabama Power Company for about 2.000 horsepower of electricity and as soon as the Tallapoosa river dam was destroyed, thus making the hydro powerhouse power1ess, a new contract was made with the. Alabama Power Company that called for sufficient energy to supply the city of Montgom cry.
 On Janary 0 the construction of the transmission line was begun and by the end of January about 250 men were at work. The distance from Lock 13 to Montgomery by way of Vida, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad the route followed by the transmission line. is fIfty-six miles.
