THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,
PUT OFF ACTION ON LIGHT PLANT APPROPRIATION Ordinance Asking $20,000 to Improve City Plant, Postponed by City Council. , "The city does not yet feel that it can act intelligently upon this question and it is far from my mind for the council to act upon the question tonight." commented City Attorney Robbind, before the council meeting Monday night when a letter from J. A. Perkins, vice president of the United Gas and Electric corporation, had been read. This letter explained the reason for the rates which the gas company is asking. Robbins read another letter explaining that the Richmond City Water Works had appealed to the Public Service Commission for an increase of ten percent surcharge on all bills. The matter will have to be fought out before the Public Service Commission. The date for the hearing has not been set. An ordinance asking for an additional appropriation of $20,000 for purchasing a new dam and new boilers for the city light plant was read. Superintendent Dillon was asked for an explanation. Councilman Ford seemed to believe that the entire improvement at the light plant was for the benefit of the Robert Ashe property and the new extension of the Pennsylvania railroad. His idea was to carry on the present business with the present equipment. Dillon impressed upon councilmen that the present business could not be handled with the present equipment. Dillon said: "Tuesday Is the heaviest day at the plant; we have had to shut down on several Tuesdays recently." Mr. Ford suggested that, even if the law compels the city to furnish Mr. Ashe with power because his contract does not expire until 1925, there is no law which compels the city to furnish something it does not have. Dillon said: "Boilers have increased five percent in price in the lat thirty days and will increase that much in the next thirty days." He stated that the city is doing well to keep the rates where they are, and , that he could figure on saving $15,000 to $25,000 in the operation of the boiler room if the plant had the proper equipment." There are only two bids which the Board of Public Works accepted. One was the Hatfield bid which included the installation of the work for $63,147. This included, two 500 H P. Stirling boilers, two Westinghouse Stokers, one motor driven fan, and one enclosed stoker engine. The other proposition called for the city to buy stokers from stoker people, boilers from boiler people, and to install the machinery itself, which Dillon stated, vculd be far more expensive. Councilman Thatcher moved that the matter be left until the next council meeting as the Hatfield people will let their bid stand over until that time. The ordinance can be passed at the next meeting with a majority vote. WM. VAN SICKLE DIES SUDDENLY William Van Sickle, 58 years old, was found dead about 5 o'clock Monday afternoon in one of the cottages located on the county infirmary farm. According to a statement made by acting Coroner S. E. Bond, he had been dead since about 4 o'clock. It is believed by some that VanSickle attempted to summon aid by telephone, as the receiver was off the hook, and the neighbors say they heard the bell ring for central. The operator states that she heard no such a call at that time. After attempting to use he telephone it is believed that he fell into the chair and died a little while later. He was found by William Petro, the superintendent, at 5 o'clock. He i3 survived by only one relative as far as the county officials know. This is his sister, Delia Booth, of Cincinnati. Funeral services will be held at the home and burial will be in Centerville. Great Sculptor at Ckautauqua Tonight Lorado Taft was to arrive here this afternoon, according to word received this morning by Chautauqua officials, so that the great entertainment was i assured. I Many Richmond people will remem ber the wonderful sculpter who was on ! the program at the Coliseum of this city about fifteen years ago, even then ! famous. Besides being noted over the country for his finished works, the sculptor is delightful on the lecture platform both in his scolarly manner and his humorous sayings. "He makes you see mud grow into smiles and frowns," said B. W. Kelly, who in part arranged for the program. "I saw him quite a few years ago, and while I have heard many lectures and forgotten them I never have forgotten his. He is wonderful." WHEAT DEMONSTRATIONS.

FRENCH FORCE
Continued From Page One. In Flanders the British have made additional appreciable gains in the Lys salient and the German situation within the salient appears more difficult daily. Driving against the head of the salient, the British have won ground on a front of nearly six miles, and entered the Important town of Merville, where the Clarence river enters the Lys. Noyon fast is becoming the central point of the salient such as that which centered around Montdidier at the beginning of the Picardy offensive. The stability of the present German line from the Somme to Rhelms depends greatly upon the holding of the Noyon salient whose western outposts are Roye and Lasslgny. British troops are reported to have reached the railroad station in the western suburbs of Roye. The French have driven the wedge between Roye and Lasslgny to Fresnieres, cutting the main highway between the towns. In addition to being threatened from the west, Lasslgny is being approached from the south by General Humbert's troops who have finally debouched from Thiescourt wood. French Menaces Noyon. Along the western bank of the Oise and south of Noyon the French have taken Pimperz and reached Dreslincourt, to the northwest. East of the river toward Soissons, General Mangin has captured more high ground and has taken Morsain, and has brought his total of prisoners to 2,200. In this operation, the French not only menace the security of Noyon but relieve the pressure against Soissons. From the heights around Morsain, they can bombard the German, battery positions north of Soissons which have been harassing the allied occupants of that city. If Marshal Foch can succeed in pinching off Noyon and advancing northward, he virtually will compel Germans to retire from the present line north of Roye toward Arras and will hasten, if not force a German retreat to the north of the Aisne between Soissons and Rheims. Success around Noyon might be far-reaching but the terrain is difficult beca-nse of the wood3 and hills and German re sistance may continue stubborn. There has been only Blight activity along the Vesle, the French and Americans having enlarged their holdings north of the river by slight advances at several points. There has been no change in the German tactics between the Ancre and the Oise, which might have been expected from the appointment of General Boehn, who conducted the retreat from the Marne, to the supreme rnmmnnd In that area. Berlin says that Monday allied thrusts west of Chaulnes and north of Roye failed while the French were repulsed in a vigorous battle between the Oise and the Aisne. London reports the checking of German efforts between Herleville and Ihons, west of Chaulness. British Are Advancing. In the operations around Merville the British have taken more prisoners in addition to the 675 captured in the successful storming of the Outtersteen ridge. The British forward movements in the Lys salient are not yet very threatening to the strong German positions on the hills north and northwest of Armentieres, but if they can be continued eastward, the high ground from Mont Kemmel eastward will be outflanked. Allied forces in Vladivostok have been reinforced by the arrival of a second transport and a third transport is expected. North of Vladivostok the Czecho slovaks have been engagsd in heavy fighting with the Bolshevik! forces on the Ussuri front. The Czechs have been driven from their outposts.

, We find you can bring out the beauty of your hair to its very best advantage by washing it with Canthrox. It makes a very simple, inexpensive shampoo, which cleanses the hair and sealp thoroughly of all the dandruff, dirt and excess oil, leaving a wonderfully clean, wholesome, feeling. After its use you will find that the hair drie3 quickly and evenly, is never streaked in appearance and is always t:ight, soft and fluffy; so fluffy, in fact, that it looks more abundant than it is, and so soft that arranging it becomes a pleasure. Just use a teaspoonful of Canthrox, which you can get from any good druggist'., dissolve it in a cup of hot water; thi3 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.
