Women Jarora Protest at Acta of Men Associates, But Bailiff Will Not Interfere. SPOKANE, Wash., May 32. (Spe cial.) Eight bottles of whisky, apor tion of which angry women jurors aver was consumed by men jurors whila they were deliberating, was not re turned with the exhibits when Nick Ponoff was found not guilty in Judge Webster's court Tuesday. Just what has become of the exhib its is a mystery. Penoff was tried for having 26 pints of whisky In his pos session -and only 18 pints were re turned to the courtroom today. Mrs. M. Letterman, one of the jurors, complained to Bailiff Galbraith Monday night that the liquor was be ing consumed by jurors. She asked that a Deputy Sheriff be called to in terfere. She was informed that the jury could not separate and was sent back into the jury room. Mrs. Sarah Myers, another juror, said when informed that reports were be ing circulated about the case and that several bottles were missing: "1 saw the men drink a bottle and a half of the liquor, but we certainly objected," said Mrs. Myers. "I had been in two other bootlegging cases, but the men only smelled the liquor. "George D. Railsbaclc, foreman of the jury told the Jurors not to drink it as the prohibition law was in effect. Mrs. Letterman went to the door and pro tested to the bailiff about the matter. We were angry because of the beha vior of some of the men. Among those who did not drink the exhibits were M. L. Irwin and Foreman Railsback. An investigation will undoubtedly follow by the authorities. CLASS OF 37 TO GRADUATE Hood River High Scliool Commence ment Begins Tomorrow. HOOD RIVER. Or., May 22.

HOW TO ACQUIRE HAIR BEAUTY Tou can enjoy a delightful shampoo with very little effort and for a very trifling cost. If you get from your druggist's a package of Canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of sham poo liquid, enough so it Is easy to apply It to all the hair Instead of Just the top of the head. Tour shampoo is now ready. Just pour a little at a time on the scalp and hair until both are en tirely covered by the daintily perfumed preparation that thoroughly dissolves and removes every bit of dandruff, ex cess oil and dirt. After rinsing the hair dries quickly with a fluffiness that makes It seem heavier than it is. and takes on a rich luster and a softness that makes arranging it a pleasure. Adv.
