Richard M Hurd. chairman of the, Board of board of Trustees of the American De fense Society, has written President Wilson asking him to extend the terms of his proclamation barring Germans from the marine and war risk insurance field to cover all lines of insurance. German insurance men, Mr. Hurd Bays, are placed in possession of information vitaJ to the interests of the United States in being permitted to write insurance and the payment of large sums to German companies strengthens the financial position of Gerwany. The United States Mr. Hurd charges. does not need the protection of Ger man companies and their financial con ditlon will verge on bakruptcy with the ending of hostilities.

Mushroom City at

Will Be Ready of Indiana LOUrSVILLE. Ky., Aug. 21. With.-! in less than three months there has grown up, on the southern outskirts of Louisville a mushroom city, now nearly completed, capable of housing more than 40,000 men. Here all mem bers of the new national army drawn from Kentucky and Indiana and part of the Illinois troops will be trained. The city Is one of sixteen great canton ment3 which Uncle Sam is building all of which will be devoted to the same pnrpose. It will bear tho name of Zachary Taylor, hero of Buana Vista and Monterey, who lies buried within less than a dozen miles of the site. Engineers drove their first stakes In June in the midst of pastures and truck gardens. Today nearly twelve hundred buildings in various stages of construction, a large proportion of them already complete, stand upon the same ground. Nothing Is Overlooked Despite the haste nothing has been overlooked which will add to the com fort or the well being of the men who will find their homes for months within its confines. Most of the company barracks have been completed. The walls are well sheathed and are weatherboarded. They are designed to be warm in winter and the arrangement of windows promises that they will be as comfortable as it is possible to expect in summer. There will be no over-crowding and the sanitary arrangements have been planned by experts. Within convenient access of each company is a detached building containing showers and wash rooms. Kitchens and dining halls are nearby. The city itself stands upon high rolling ground and it has exceptionally good surface drainage. A system of sanitary sewers within its borders will be connected with the sewer system of Louisville, sewer mains having been constructed to its boundaries by city and county authorities. City to Supply Water Water mains have also been laid to the boundaries of the cantonment by the municipally owned Louisville Water company and' the 2,500,000 gallons of water which will be required daily will be supplied from the same filtration plant which supplies the city. The Louisville Gas and Electric company also has carried its transmission system to the boundaries of the cantonment and will supply the current used for light and power. The Louisville Street Railway company has constructed a double track line to the soldier-city and will give a five cent fare to any section of Louisvilla Within ten days of this modest start lumber in trainloads was arriving from southern saw mills daily. The number of workmen grew as the flow of materials increased until today it totals about 10,000. Of these about 4,000 are carpenters, 4,000 others are listed as laborers and the remainder includes skilled craftsmen of many trades. Use 300 Water Boys A good idea of the size of the task upon which the War Department embarked when it undertook the construction of sixteen such ctiies simultaneously can be gained from tho fact that 300 water boys are employed on tho job at Camp Taylor. These youngsters are not idle either. Each must satisfy the demands of about thirty men and it keeps him busy. With the increase in the number of men employed on the work and the swelling flow of materials the percentage of the whole task to be accomplished each day Increased until it finally approximated about two and one-half percent of the whole daily. When the first drafts of the new army begins to arrive September 5, they will find Camp Taylor complete in its essential details with but two exceptions. One section of the hos-

to Take Care Rookies by Sept 5 pital group will be incomplete, as will the remount station. Two sections of the hospital group will be ready however, and the completion of the third section -will only add to the capacity, which will exceed 1,000 beds.' The quarters to be occupied by tie men still have finishing touches to be added which will improve their appearance and to some extent add to comfort, but there will be nothing really essential lacking. , , Game Instinct Helps Racing against time officials responsible for the erection of the cantonment have found the competitive instinct of tho average human being a powerful factor in assisting their effort. Each day a detailed report showing the percentage of the work completed up to that time and listing separately the progress made on the proceding day is placed In the hand of Major Frank E. Lamphere, constructor quartermaster in charge. These reports show at a glance how various bodies of men are prograssing with their part of the work. For instance, for convenience in supervising and speeding up the work of carpenters the cantonment is divided into seventeen units, , each with its own working organization. The report which comes to Major Lamphere each morning shows just how much timber, the total board feet being given, is required in the construction of each unit. Then is shown the number of board feet of timber placed to that date, together with the amount placed the preceding day. The report then shows what percentage of the work on each unit has been completed, and gives the number of man-days work charged against each unit. Then to complete the comparison the daily average of board feet of lumber per man placed in the buildings of various units re shown. A copy of this report is posted on the grounds where each unit is being erected so that the men may compare the progress of the unit on which they are engaged with that of other units. This plan is followed out with other classes of work, and according to Major Lamphere it has produced good results. Each man is made to feel a personal sense of responsibility - for the progress of the unit upon which the crew to which he belnogs is engaged. More Than 1,200 Buildings. There are more t,han 1,200 buildings in the cantonment and they cover about 1,250 acres. The hospital group of sixty-five buildings occupies eighty acres and the remount station about seventy-five acres. This remount station will care for about 9,000 horses and nuiles. Buildings and ground will be lighted by electricity. More than two hundred miles of wire will ho necessary to supply the lights in the various buildings and 320 arc lights will be used to illuminate the company streets. The buildings of the hospital group and officers quartets will be heated with steam. The various company barracks will use coal stoves. More than 2,000 heating stoves will be used, and contracts for 17,000 tons of coal to supply them have been asked for. Five Miles of Road Built. More than five miles of asphalt roadway eighteen feet wide have been laid within the cantonment which is spread out in a great arc nearly two miles long. These roads will connect with several hard surfaced highways leading from Louisville to the surrounding country. Much of the equipment for the cantonment has arrived and is already in store houses built, along the railroad trades which have been run into the grounds. INI ore is on the way. The quantity of this equipment is tremendous. To name but a few items will show something of size of the task

WOMEN MAY BE GIVEN JOBS BY

ENNSYLVANIA Rest Rooms to Be Built for Female Employes Other Railroad News. Yardmaster M. J. Murphy of the Pennsylvania was jubilant this morning over the' progress made with the new yards. The movements of trains at the present moment are fairly easy, but there have ben times in the busy seasons that freight has been congested in the Richmond yards. The local freights always have been dispatched out as early as possible, and the through service has been handled on time. The new yards, to be completed within a few months time, will give four times the yardage, and, as stated by Murphy this morning, will mean that there will be no congestion in the service here in the future. The new yards will help in even" way for the acceleration of the service. EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN The Pennsv management is serious ly considering the employment of women on all lines west of Fort Wayne owing, to the shortage of labor, and the contemplated shortage to ensue in September when many employes will leave to fight for Uncle Sam. The management has decided to build toilet sections and rest rooms for female employes. Light machine work and tool work that can be handled by women are on the program should an emergency arise. Already the management has employed extra clerks at the freight houses, and more women clerks may be needed in the future. AN IMPORTANT ORDER By general order No. 94, posted in the Richmond offices this morning, it is stated that the smash board used for government of northbound trains, when the draw is open, has been restored to its original location on the east side of, the track about fifty feet south of the draw of the Louisville bridge and Is in service.

Miller, store room clerk, who has been on a vacation of two weeks "at Michigan resorts, has returned to his duties here. Ht is one the first draft, and expects orders to report at any time. BY FISHING AGREEMENT By an agreement made a year ago, and in return for an outing given him, in getting it to the right place in time. More than 40,000 cots will be used, and there will be equipment of all sorts for 349 kitchens.

VEGETABLES HIT BY DRY SPELL

Dry weather is hurting the vege- f tables and fruit market as well as field crops. Another week without rain will do as much damage as a severe early frost would, vegetable men said Monday. Practically all vegetables are feeling the drouth. Late potatoes already have been severely damaged, and lack of rain on pastures has sent creamery butter up to the half-dollar mark. The first tip-top muskmelons came on the market Monday, and groceries are offering pie cherries from Michigan. The melons are pronounced unusually good, though the crop is short. The cherries are also good fine enough for table use, as well as for pies. Green and wax beans have practically vanished, and peaches are scarce, the southern supply having ceased and northern peaches not yet being ripe. The best potato crop In many years is predicted by growers In Northern 6tates. The yield Is estimated at from fifteen to twenty-five percent better even than last year's bumper crop. Start Sale of Red Cross Seals Nov. 20 NEW YORK, Aug. 21. The annual sale of Red Cross Christmas seals for the benefit of the anti-tuberculosis movement in the TTnited States will begin about November 20 and continue to January 1, it was anounced here today by the National Asociatlon for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The campaign will seek to rsisp at least 13.000.000. or more than double the returns or any previous yeaf. Today5? Aid to Beauty Hair is by far the most conspicuous thing about us and is probably the most easily damaged by bad or careless treatment. If we are very careful in hair washing, we will have virtually 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 expense by simply dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox (which you can get at 8ny druggists) 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 Instead1 of just the top of the head. This chemically dissolves all impurities -end creates a soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft and pliant, while the hair takes on the glossy richness o natural color, also a fluffiness which makes it seem much heavier than it it. After a canthrox shampoo, pranging the hair is a pleasure. Adv.
