Cody People Are Pleased to Learn
How it Has Been Done
It's pretty hard to attend to duties
with a constantly aching back; with
annoying urinary disorders.
Doan's Pills have made work easier.
So thousands have gratefully testi-
fed. They're for bad backs. They're
for weak kidneys, Cody people
gratefully recommend Doan's. Ask
your neighbor.
Mrs. A. Fuqua, Alger Ave, Cody,
says: 81 was troubled a good deal
with my kidneys some years ago.
The worst trouble of all was the
weak, too frequent action of these
organs. l had sharp pains through
my kidneys and when ! stopped they
dug in deeper. Little did | feel like
doing my work for tired quickly. l
saw Doan's Pills advertised in the
paper and decided to try them. A

As the engineers in charge of the
government irrigation works have de-
cided to continue the road through
the canyon clear up to the dam, it
will be a comparatively small job to
construct it from there to the govern

thus shortening the Cody route and
making it all the more interesting
from a scenic point of view.

INCH Of LUMBER
|SBUT 25.32
Of AN|NCH
Wilson Compton, Secretary of
National Association, Wins
Long Fight.
BY WILLIAM PICKETT HELM.

Two years of hot controversy
over an inch measurement have just
ended in a mutual understanding
among all parties that an inch is
not really an inch at all. but $3.50
Of an inch. The understanding ap
plies only to lumber thickness
however, and not to land or other
valuableS.
Wilson Compton, Secretary and
Manager of the National Lumber
Association, shown in
the photograph, is winner in the
two-year argument. The Standard.
Zation conference recently called by
Secretary Hoover and participated
in by lumber manufacturers, lum.
Der dealers, architects, engineers
builders and others, officially up
held him and decided that an inch
is not an inch by 1882 of its length.
For forty years this controversy
simmered before 1t began to boil
two years ago. Builders and some
other interests contended that an
inch board should be an inch thick
when ready for use. The manufac-
turers commended that anything
above half an inch thick was an
inch board. The compromise allows
for shrinkage of one thirty-second
in seasoning, four thirty-secDnds in
dressing, and for a variation of two
thirty-seconds in drying.
The whole Standardization problem
was solved by the agreement as to
the thickness of an inch board.
Hereafter there will be only ten
thichnesses of lumber under two
inches. Heretofore, there have been
twenty-six. For the first time in
the history of the United States.
sizes will be uniform the country
over.
The short inch standard, 1t is be.
lleved, will extend the life Of exist
ing American forests by six or
seven years.

1t happened on a tramway
about 1880 this morning. The

knocked along until it came to
a grumbling halt at Fourteenth

Of the little knot of people
who boarded the car, one stood
out conspicuously. She was q
woman who appeared some
where around forty years old.
Her face was well daubed in
powder and rouge. Even her
lips were painted blood red.
She moved slowly as she climb
ed the step up the trolley,
grasping every available sup
port. Then she brushed her
way through the crowd at the
door.
For a moment she paused,
and observed every seat occu-
pied. She looked up at the
straps-but she was too short
for that.

SENATE 7 D
FIGHT TAX
ON AUTOS
This Feature Threatens De-
feat of Reciprocity Plan in
Upper House.

The Senate District Committee
will vote down the proposed auto
mobile reciprocity plan unless the
personal property tax on auto
mobiles is eliminated from the
measure.
That such is the fate the bill
is counting was definitely learned
today when a spokesman for the
Senate District Committee en-
phatically declared that the mem
bers of the committee were op-
posed to the nuisance" clause in
the bill.
Majority Opposes Tax.
A poll Of members of the com.
mittee, this spokesman said, showed
that more than a majority were
opposed to the tax on automobiles
in addition to the two-cent tax on
| gasoline.
There is only one way in which
the Senate District Committee can be
made in turn In favorable report on
| the reciprocity bill. And that Is.
II the Congress will meet, on the
1910 basis, all moneys raised
through the tax. This fund shall
then be used only to build new and
| better roads in the District"
! On top Of this declaration comes
the almost unanimous action of
Washington trade bodies and civic
organizations in opposition to the
| reciprocity bill with the tax feature
contained In it. The House District
; Committee has agreed to hold a
| hearing on the measure tomor-
row morning and at that time &C.
ton will crystalline against the bill.
To Present Data.
The Merchant sand Manufactur-
ers Association, the Board of
Trade, the Chamber of Commerce
and other representative civic or
CARNATIONS have planned to send
committees to the hearing to voice
opposition to the bill as it is now
drawn. During the past few days
much research work has been done
and the committees will go before
the District Committee armed and
fortified with data to substantiate
their arguments.
In the event that the bill is ia
vorably reported in the House, op-
ponents of the measure are conf
dent that the House Committee of
the Whole will kill the tax item.
A final assault in the Senate is
planned IL the bill reaches the up.
