AUSTRALIA WILL MAKE WEAPONS Government Money for Small Arms Factory and Cor dite Plant. WAR SPIRIT IS AROUSED Great Commonwealth Feels That It Has Delayed Preparations for Self-Defense Entirely Too Long. SYDNEY, N. S. W.. Aug. 29. .Spe cial.) Australia has decided to manu facture her own rifles and ammunition. In the closing days of last session the Federal House of Representatives voted a sum for the establishment of cordite and small arms factories. The former Is to be located on the Saltwater River, near Melbourne, where an area of 250 acres has been selected. It is estimated that the maximum capacity of the works will be about 150 tons of cordite ner annum, although the actual out put is likely to be very much less. The traditional policy of employing Aus tralians will be followed as tar as pos sible, but the Minister of Defense has announced his intention of importing a few skilled men lor the more tecnnicat operations. The small arms ' factory is to be es tabllshed in Lithgow, near the works where Australian Iron Is being pro duced. The machinery is to bo of the most modern type, and will be capable of producing 45.000 rifles a year. It is hoped that both factories will bo In operation about 18 months hence. In various quarters the opinion is ex pressed that the establishment of these works has . been delayed quite long enough. It has been felt that the en tire dependence of the Commonwealth upon external sources' for the means of defense was undesirable, if not danger ous. The Sydney Mall thus sums up the situation: "When we have these factories the patriotic Australian will breathe a lit tle easier. While we are dependent upon the outside world for guns and ammunition, our position Is serious be yond all exaggeration. Even the half barbarous Ameer of Afghanistan has his small and big gun factories, with the supplementary machinery for turn ing out the requisite ammunition for both, and the spectacle of a community so far advanced in civilization as the Commonwealth, so self-assertive in its policy toward powerful alien races, and so isolated from auxiliary nations, without the appliances to make even the small arms and cartridges for its slender forces, was one of almost mani acal folly. "That, with such tremendous prepara tions for war apparent almost every where else, this commonwealth should have spent seven years wrangling over domestic problems and hoity-toity poll tics, over 'hatteTs' and 'potters,' Instead of providing for Itself the primary es sentials of self-defense. Illustrates in a remarkable way the gambling spirit of the Australian people, which thus lightly staked what was nothing lees than na tional existence against the chances of war." Excursion to Klamath Falls. Nearly 100 business men left the city at 1:80 this morning on the Southern Pacific train for Klamath Falls. A spe cial excursion was run by the company to give people of this city who- are In terested a chance to see what Klamath country offers to Investors. A similar excursion was run a few weeks ago that was very successful. Interest in the Klamath country Is growing among Portland people, as Is evidenced by the two excursions. BRITISH CABINET MEMBER TO WED DAUGHTER OP LATE SECRETARY OF LLOYD'S I , o. x' .... ... ; ' ' ..... -tity-.--' - - y : . . v. if-" '5zystJ 4 MISS CLEMENTINE HOZIER. LONDON, Sept. 6. (Special.) The engagement of Winston Churchill, president of the Board of Trade In the British Cabinet, to Miss Clementine Hoxier, has caused tremendous interest among the mem bers and employes at Lloyd's, where the bride-elect's father, the late Colonel Sir Henry Hozler, was for many years secretary, and was im mensely popular. Taking the members of Lloyd's as a whole, the"y are much opposed to the political views of Mr. Churchill, and some have gone so far In very recent times as to attribute all the depression In the Stock Ex change and in the city generally to the government, of which Mr. Churchill Is the particular ornament. But members and employes alike have agreed to forget all about politics and only to remember their late and much-beloved chief. Sir Henry Hosier, and they are now subscribing to make one of the hand somest gifts ever offered by a business body to Mr. Churchill's bride. The gift will probably be a complete service of silver.

GROWS HAIR and we can PROVE IT! A lady from Minnesota writes: "As a resnlt of using Dunderlne, my hair ts dote to five feet In length," Beautiful Hair at Small Cost HAIR troubles. like many other disesses, have been wrongly diagnosed and altogether mis understood. The hair itself is not the thins to be treated, for the reason that it is simplpa product of the acalp and wholly dependent upon its action. The scalp Is the very soil in which the hair is pro duced, nurtured and grown, and it alone should receive the attention i results are to be expected. It would do no earthly good to treat the stem of a plant with a view of making it grow and become more beautiful the soil in which the plant grows must be attended to. Therefore, the acalp in which tha hair grows must receive the attention if you are to expect it to grow and become more beautiful. Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying op, or losing its supply of moisture or nutriment; when baldness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed upon ( a plant or evefn a tree would die under almllar conditions.) The natural thing to do in either case. Is to feed and replenish the soil -or scalp as the case may be, and your crop will grow and multiply as nature intended It should. Knowlton's Danderine has a moat wonder ful effect upon the hair glands and tiaauaa of the acalp. it is the only remedy for the hair ever discovered that la similar to the natural hair fooda or liquida of the scalp. It penetrates the pores quickly and the hair soon shows the effects of its wonderfully exhilar ating and life-producing qualities. One 25-cent bottle is enough to convince you of its great worth as a hair growing and hair beauti fying remedy try it and aee for yourself.
