To Keep the Hair
Light and Fluffy
(From Chicago Inter ocean.)

The proper care of the hair does not
require a woman to scour her scalp
with soap and drench her hair with
water until a shampoo. including dry
ing the hair, takes the better part Of
the day. In fact, the less soap and
water used on the hair the better, as
alkali and moisture tend to make the
hair coarse. dull and brittle.
If you want to keep the scalp clean
and the hair light and fluffy, try dry
shampooing. Put in a quart jar, or
any other handy container. four
ounces of powdered orris root and
four ounces of therox. Stir and shake
until thoroughly mixed. A beautiful
cleansing powder with a delicate per-
fume will be the result.
Sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mix
ture on the head and then brush it
well through the hair. This brings out
the natural color Of the hair. makes
it soft and glossy, and If continued
regularly, tends to make the hair long
and abundant. for it is a natural hair
grower.

for the recognition of the party pri-
mary candidate by the Legislature, the
result will not affect Woodrow Will
son. Under his leadership, even the
election of Smith will not affect him,
as it would have done had he per-
mitted himself to be complacent at
the snatching of another's victory by
a machine evidently surprised in vic
tory. ,
Even if New Jersey should forget
its new independence and desire for
clean politics, and turn to the political
destruction of the man who is its most
successful advocate, the man himself
would thereby profit rather than lose
in influence in the country.
Woodrow Wilson and the New Jer-

EVERY MEMBER OF THE
CHAMBER SHOULD VOTE.

Unavoidable absence from the city
and serious illness are the only valid
excuses which can be offered by any
member of the Chamber of Commerce
for failure to vote in the annual cleo
tion of officers and directors of the
Chamber on Tuesday.
A president, first vice president,
second vice president, treasurer, and
ten directors are to be elected. Every
member of the Chamber owes it to
himself, to the Chamber, and to his
city to participate in selecting them.
The Chamber of Commerce is a
little democracy of about 800 Of the
business and professional men of
Washington. 1t represents the most
advanced and most progressive thought
of the community. 1t stands for the
interests of the people of Washing
ton.
Just as it is imperative that all
qualified voters exercise the right OF
franchise in the choice of men to
represent the people in other cities, SO
is it imperative that the members Of
the Chamber of Commerce vote in
the election of men to represent them
and the interests of the people here,
where there is no local self government,
and where the Chamber of Commerce
takes the place of a representative
assembly.
For the purpose of making it pos,
sible for all members to vote, the elec,
tion will be conducted something like
a municipal election. Ballot boxes
will be installed in the Chamber Of
Commerce rooms and opened at noon
Tuesday. They will remain open until
s o'clock, and members may vote al
any time during the afternoon. At
o'clock the boxes will be opened agaiI
at the Arlington Hotel, and will re-
main open there until o'clock, wheI
they will be closed to voters ant
opened, for the count of ballots by the
tellers.
Everything possible has been done
to make it easy for members to vote
The member who fails to cast his bal
lot will fail to perform a duty whicl
he owes the community.

Capital 7 ales y
No rs for Terrell.

United states Senators, as Is generally
known, are fussy individuals. They like
things just so, and usually Insist on
having them just SO. Even new sena-
tors do not lose much time In learning
to stand on their dignity.
For instance: When a United States
Senator spends several days In con-
sultation with his family, searches all
through the family tree, and finally
agrees on the proper sort of biog-
raphy-which is really an autobiogra-
phy-for insertion in the Congressional
Directory, he wants that biography to
come out in print just as he prepared It,
Shortly after Joseph Meriwether Ter
rell arrived in Washington at this ses-
sion of Congress as the Junior Senator
from Georgia, he was asked to prepare
a sketch of himself to be used in the
Congressional Directory. The Senator
did so: the books were being put into
the mails by the ton when Senator Ter
rell discovered a horrible mistake. In
one part Of the directory his name was
spelled Terrell; In another part 1t was
spelled Terrill.

Committees Preparing
For Missionary Jubilee

The rapid approach Of the first session
of the Missionary Jubilee, which is to
be held in this city on February and
3, has had the effect Of making the prep
arations of the various committees in
charge Of the jubilee, trifie hurried,
but it is thought that everything will
be ready in time to welcome the dele
gates who will be present.
Mrs. Wallace Radcliffe, wife Of the
pastor of the New York Avenue Presby-
terian Church, has appointed all the
committees and the preparatory work
has been under way for some time. In
addition to the committees appointed by
the general chairman, a large number
of members of the Young Women's
Christian Association, who have volun-
teered their aid and efforts, are reaching
all the other women's clubs in the city.
The jubilee meetings will consist of a
conference for workers, meetings for
prayer, drawing room meetings and
church rallies. A luncheon in the Will
lard ball room on the first evening of
the session will proceed an inspirational
rally in the hall of the Daughters of the
American Revolution.

Harmon a Quot Player.

"Judson Harmon, governor OF Ohio. ID
one of the most Democratic men in the

This was the statement of member
of the House who participated in q

regarding the possible candidates for
the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency in 1912,
go out to Ohio" said this member,
."and you will find that Harmon is as
common as an old shoe. l. was out
there during the campaign, and dis
covered that he has more red blood
in his veins and likes to enjoy himself
about as well as any man I have ever
met.
During my visit to Columbus I was
invited to an outing of the Wyandotte
Club, an exclusive organization, the
membership of which is limited to about
ten. Once a year these ten men invite
about a hundred friends to eat with
them, and at their last outing Gov
ernor Harmon was guest.
shortly after he arrived on the club
grounds the governor became Intensely
interested In a game of quoits. When
the game was most interesting a COM
mittee Of the club walked up to the
governor and announced that the
guests were assembling in the club
house and were ready to pay their
respects to the chief executive OF the
State.
az can't go over there now de-
clared the governor.
Why? demanded one Of the COM

Not by a jugful,' declared the gov
ernor. This is a championship match
and when the champion is declared
am going to challenge him and, Incl
dentally, give him a few pointers about
playing quoits.'
And he did," said the member ir
conclusion. He took off his coat and
vest and when the game was over the
guests congratulated him on his ability

THE MANN-FLINT PANAMA
CANAL BILL.

If the present session of Congress
will pass the Mann-Flint Panama
canal bill as the Senate committee has
reported it, the country will have
been well served. 1t is a gratifying
sign of a new responsiveness of Con-
gress to the dictates of real national
interest, rather than Of special cor
porate interests, that such a measure
could be advanced to its present stage
in so short a time and with so little
pressure.
The Mann bill, as amended
Gives the President power to fix
canal tolls.
Provides that coastwise traffic shall
be toll-free.
Practically prohibits railroads from
owning ship lines using the canal, and
using them to smother competition
with the railroads.
Requires that vessels using the canal
toll-free shall be subject to impress
ment in the navy in war time.
From the day the Government secur
ed possession of the Panama canal i
has been a question whether the ditcl
was worth the digging. 1t never woul
be if the trans continental railroad
were to destroy its usefulness by put
ting into service their own boats, cut
ting rates to the point of absolut
loss, driving competing vessels out @
the trade, and then raising rates highe
than ever as soon as monopoly wa
The Washington times., 1911-01-08

restored. That is what the railroads
did to destroy traffic via, the Horn and
the Isthmus in the good old times
when there was no regulation.
That is what would doubtless be
done again if it were allowed.
The Flint amendment win probably
prevent such garroting of competition.
If it does not, then the Government
will have to take the next step; it
will have to build its own vessels and
put them into this trade, at reasonable
rates, and prohibit the railroads max
ing Improbable rates in the excesses
of competition.
There are people who favor Govern
ment construction, ownership, and
operation of ships for this trade. Some
of them are influential members of
House and Senate.
They favor the plan as last resort,
to assure that the canal shall be made
of real service to the country.
The Mann Flint bill will probably
make that extreme policy unnecessary.
If it does, it will represent a highly
creditable and patriotic service to the
country. 1t should pass at this ses-
sion, so that ship-owners may have
notice of the opportunity it assures,
and proceed to build vessels for use
when the canal opens.

MR.. WILSON'S FIGHT FOR

characteristic incisiveness, he answer
ed that the amputation of a wart is
not a capital operation. On the con-
trary, it is a simple measure of clean
illness and personal self-respect. There
may be little blood, but there is less
pain. When the wart is gone the body

In the course of his comments on the

England as "groveling to the united

favor ;, He characterizes the failure OF

a piece of world politics and lnu-
mates that it was the outcome Oh
