urn makes reply TO MAS' STATEMENT

That estimates made in a statement on the water works schedule yesterday by E. M. 'Haas are erroneous in the opinion of Alfred Bavis, president of the board , of works, whose compromise plan was attacked In Mr. Haas' communication. Mr. Bavis said Mr. Haas' figures ehowed that 27 concerns used more than 80,00 gallons of water per month. Troni them the annual revenue is approximately $21,000. Of this number the Pennsylvania railroad, quoting figures presented 'by Attorney Starr, pays in $14,000. This Mr. Bavis 6howed leaves only $7,000, to be divided among the other 26 corporations. This makes an average revenue from each company of approximately $26S or about $22 a month. If these figures, compiled by Mr. Haas, are true, then water bills are a negligible part of the cost of opera

tion with the concerns, according to Mr. Bavis. An additional S3 per cent to make up the deficit would not, he believes, work a hardship upon them although Mr. Haas argues that it would. In the case of the Pennsylvania railroad, however, Mr. Bavis said he would consider a 33 per cent increase unjust and would change his attitude upon the proposition of making cor

porations using over 80,000 gallons of water per month make up the bulk of the deficit. But Mr. Bavis still contends that the railroad can be shown to be paying less than the cost of production for the water used. He reiterated his position that the railroad should at least pay the cost of production rate.

The president of the board of works further took exception to the statement made by Mr. Haas that the city had accepted the new income as just and fair. The city has not accepted this fact and has contended, Mr. "Bavis said, that the commission should not take abnormally wet season and use the revenue received in it as a basis for a rate adjustment.

Billy

Evans Got

Mother's Consent

Let "Billy" Evans tell his own story: , "I have the distinction of being the only umpire In the major leagues ho had to ask his mother if he could become an umpire. Few mothers raise their sons to be a soldier, and just as few, it is safe to say, rear their boys to be umpires. My mother was one of the latter. At first she refused. But I coaxed, and when the proprietor of the newspaper for which I was then writing sports advised me to take the job and said I could have my old place back again if I didn't succeed, my mother relented and gave her conlent, So I became an umpire In the Central League. ' . "After serving a few years in the Central League, Mr. Johnson appointid me as an umpire In the American League, in which I have been doing v, duty since 1904.

Hair -Often Ruined By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, : ikes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thing for steady use Is Jnst ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls -rill cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves

the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family fcr months. Adv.
