INJURED NUMBER
1t Is Believed That the Section

Alive After Having Been
Under Wreckage for SO
Hours.

sident of Washington.
Washington, Jan. 3g.-With a to-
tai of 108 dead and 1872 injured re-
moved from the ruins of the Knicker-
booker motion picture theatre up to

were still struggling with the heavy
wreckage which was left when the
snow laden roof of the structure col
lapsed during the showing of a
comedy feature bill Saturday night.

when the other part of the balcony
collapsed.
A party of the rescuers early today
had been struggling for an hour to
rescue from a part of the wreckage
one man believed to be yet alive, al
though imprisoned under the mass
fer nearly SO hours. The great weight
of steel beams and concrete which
crashed with the roof have in many
instances made the rescue of per-
sens slow and tedious.
The capital city was bowed in grief
today to learn the full extent of the
tragedy with the recovery of victims
yesterday and last night. This was

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about US and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very careful
in hair washing, we will have virtual
ly no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampoo for this weather, one
that brings out all the natural. beauty
of the hair; that dissolves and entirely
removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt; can easily be used at trifling ex-
pense by simply dissolving a teaspoon
full of canthrox (Which you can get
at any druggist's) in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid-enough SO it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. This chemi-
cally dissolves all impurities and
creates a soothing, cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and plant, while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of natural
color, also a fluffiness which makes it
seem much heavier than it is. After
4 canthroX shampoo, arranging the
hair is a pleasure.-Adv.
