SEND OUT BLANKS
No Need of Formal Examination
Such as Required by

ment to them of additional candidates

lions the successful applicants.

any group of five qualified citizens
from any district that has no names
on the eligible list may certify to them
the name of a proper person FOR ap-
pointment as election officer. Although
IL is not so stated in the blanks fur-
nished, 1t is the that ten

parties may certify as many names as
they wish from each district, Just as
they had previously the privilege OF
doing to the Civil Service Commission
Space is furnished on the blanks for

adherents of a faction will have TO get
their applicants for election officers be-
fore the court by having five or
their number in any single district
make an Endorsement IN each case.
The judges require that the name OF
| persons so Endorsed shall be vouched
for as to moral character, ability to
read and write, to distinguish colors
and as to ability to perform reasonably
weel the duties required of them.

the letter written by Secretary Wilson

girls was the next event on the pro
gram.
This WAS followed by a general drill
of all the children, the girls with two
flags each and the boys with long
wands. The sweeping of the flags
through the air in intricate motions,
to the accompanying exercises of the
boys, made a metion-p picture of IN

These were followed by a march and

dance of the harvest-time
Molly Levine Natural Leader.
In the Indian club drill, as in the
dances, one of the most graceful girls
was little Molly Levine. I years old.
She headed the Belmont avenue line
in the club drill, "a diminutive little
figure in the midst of the big field. But
she could WELD the clubs with the best.
An elaborate May-pole dance, end
ing in a tableau with the girls and
streafners forming a picturesque tepee
for the indian braves, who had pre-
viously danced the war dance, ended
the exhibition.

the children taking part as 5000, and
the spectators, 5000.

with tinkling bells, the girls from eight
of the schools gave the first exhibition
of dancing.
The alternating colors, the intricate
movements and the pulsing swing of
motion in the brilliant sunshine, with
a background of rainbow-colored May
poles and dark green foliage, made a
pageantry of life and color that
brought the long lines of the 5000
spectators to their feet.

Then the girls from eight schools
swept out to the measures of a quaint
Dutch dance, Flag of the Neither
lands In little Dutch caps, made by
themselves at the Fairgrounds. the
girls danced with the grace of the
bellies of old New Amsterdam.
An Indian dance in costume by the
boys proved an innovation that pleased.
The war-danee and the snake-dance
were executed to the accompaniment
of a weird assortment of warhoops that
would have chilled the blood of the
most daring creation of Cooper or Kirk
Munroe. An Indian chieftain sat in
the centre of each of the dancing
groups.

A COOLING SHAMPOO
FOR SUMMER MONTHS

Because of profuse perspiration and
excessive oiliness of the scalp In ummer
time" writes Mrs. Mae Martyr in the
Los Angeles Globe, many women find
the hair difficult to manage. Ordinary
amp mixtures fail to emove all dust
and oil and invariably leave the hair
stringy and matted.
"The simplest and best thing with which
TO cleanse both scalp and hair is plain
canthrox. A teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup OF hot water is enough
for a good shampoo and a little at a time
poured ON the head and rubbed brlskly
creates a white. thick lather. wonderfully
cooling and soothing. Rinsing leaves the
scalp and hair delightfully."- clean and the
hair dries quickly, taking on a beautiful
brilHancy and softness."
