due to the fact that increasing prices
have left Clackamas county short on

time the bridge was first spoken of it
was estimated that the structure would
cost $250,000 and plans were made on
that basis. However, at this time it is
not thought that the bridge can be built

FOR SIS' ATTACK
.By Raymond Clapper v ,
Washington May 18. TJ. P.)
Senator Boies Penrose la behind the
attack which Rear Admiral Sims is
directing: at the conduct of the navy
during the - war. Secretary of the
Navy Daniels intimated today., con
tinuing -s testimony beft j the sen
ate naval affairs committee.
In bringing the Pennsylvania Repub
lican chieftain into the controversy
Daniels conveyed the impression that
be believed politics is responsible for
the Sims charges. . ,
Djui iela quoted from a speech Pen
rose made in the senate August 24, 1918.
in which he blamed the secretary of the
navy for "procrastination,' delaying ac
tive naval participation three months at
a cost of $1S,000,000.000 and many lives
the earn, accusation which forms the
keystone of the Sims attack.
. "I have been Informed that it was not
Admiral Sims who originated this
charge, but that it was first made tn
the senate on August 24. ISIS, by Sen
ator Penrose," Daniels said.
; The original charges, amplified and
repeated by AdmiralSlms before this
committee, are contained in Senator
Penrose's speech." ..
i Daniels remarked on the use of simi
lar language by several witnesses tes
tifying in support of Sims.
"They all speak the senator' lan
guage, figures, phrase and ail." Dan
iels said.,
They were either plagarists or re
ceived thought waves from the Penrose
ouija board, he declared.
"It is worthy to note that at the very
time Penrose was making his speech
Sims was writing to Captain Pratt in
the navy department here, threatening
an investigation of the conduct of the
war." : ,' ' -:;
"The telepathic wireless between Pen
rose and Sims, must have been work
ing clear across the " ocean," Daniels
continued, "for Sim was telling 'prac
tically the same things to Americana in
Europe."

npHE Big Fellow
is a new Gillette
for men who are ac
customed to solid
things to things
that have zveight
and substance.
When you tumble
out of bed in the
morning and grab it
for a quick shave
before, the whistle
blows, you know
there is something
there.
No man who is
tool-wise has to learn
how to use the Gil
lette Big Fellow. He
takes to it naturally,
as to any other
workmanlike im
plement When . its
hard - tempered,
double-edged blade
has delivered many
velvet - smoot b
shaves, you simply
throw it away and
put in a new one. q
No Stropping
No Honing.
In these days of hustle
and go, a man's time is
worth more than the cost
of the keenest steel.
Men, let a Gillette dealer
put the Big FeUowin your
hand and it's your razor
for life. There are more
than a quarter of a mil
lion Gillette dealers in
America.
