TO THE QUESTIONS
THAT ARE ASKED BY EVERYBODY
Dandrur and Falling Hair.

Marion C.-I don't wonder your hair
suffers If you have been wearing rats
and false hair during the hot weather.
Rats especially are dandruff-
unless you keep them constantly cleaned.
which is impossible If the rat is to re-
tain its shape. Give up the rats at
least. Wear a switch IL necessary, but
II would be much better to leave of all
false hair until your scalp is in healthy
condition. You will find that by ruffiHg
your own front hair a little you can
make II stand out almost as well as IL
it were built over a pun or rat. OF
course, rufflng is not good for the hair
either, but 1t is less harmful than these
wool pads that heat the scalp. Until
the dandruff disappears. shampoo your
hair every week or ten days with pure
CASTLE soap and hot water. and once a
day apply the following tonic, rubbing
In with vigorous massage:
Tincture of cantharides. ounce. LIQUID
ammonia. I dram; glycerin, 1-2 ounce;
oil thyme. 1-2 dram; rosemary oil. L.
dram.
Mix all together with six ounces Of
rose water.
Canning Beans.
Mrs. d. Cit is not necessary to rut
up stringed beans by the tedious method
Of boiling the vegetables In the jare.
Cook your beans In water salted q
little stronger than for table use. until
nearly done. Pour into hot jars. MI

Gen. Barry Explains Failure to Keep
School Filled.
LAMENTS PRESENT SYSTEM
LAMENTs PRESENT SYSTEM
Believes Qualified Young Men
Should Be Given Chance in
Competitive Examinations.

The failure = to keep at maximum
strength the corps OF West Point cadets
Is the subject Of complaint in the an
nual report of Maj Gen. Thomas H.
Barry, u S. A., superintendent of the
Military Academy, to the adjutant gen.
eral of the army.
Three examinations, in an effort to I'LL
300 vacancies, were held by the War
Department this year, in January, May
and August. At the first examination
ITO candidates qualified out Of $50 who
stood the examination: in May there
we're seventy-eight successful candidates
in 242: fifteen qualified Of the eighty-three
who tried in June. There remained after
the last examination fifty-seven vacancies
untitled.
The chief reason for this difficulty OF
obtaining material to officer the future
armies Of the United States is the mental
deficiencies of candidates. In these three
examinations 352 candidates failed men
tally, while nearly a third of that num-
GER. lO1 candidates, were physically dis
qualified Some OF the disqualified were
unfit both in mind and body.
Another reason for vacancies is the
failure of candidates in many congress
Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
York, North Carolina, oklahoma and
Pennsylvania each show one, two. three
or even four districts unrepresented in
the examinations.
Appointments Desired by Some.
ut is believed that there are in all dis
tricts," comments Gen. Barry, qualified
young men who desire these appoint
ments, and it is regretted that such
young men are not nominated, or at
least given a chance by competitive eX-
animation or otherwise"
That legislation failed which would have
empowered the President Of the United
States to fill cadetships at large, when
senators and representatives entitled to
the nominations fail to make them. is
regretted by Gen. Barry, who speaks of
t as '.unfortunate.' The same proposed
law would have also provided for filling
vacancies by the appointment of alter
mates who have qualified, vesting the
authority in the superintendent of the
Military Academy.
THE plant here Is sufficient for the
accommodation and instruction of a GER
tain number of cadets and in the in
terest of the country, the army and
economy the maximum number should
be under instruction at all times" says
Gen. Barry in the report.
He again urges legislation along the
ines of that suggested In the bill whose
failure of enactment he laments. He
proposes also another plan; that exami-
nations be held In each district at which
any eligible youth may appear. the one
passing the best examination to be ap-
pointed.
The mental deficiencies of candidates
are exhibited In copies of answers to
Examination questions incorporated into
the report. These examination papers.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, October 14.-On the birthday
of the German Empress. October %. the
engagement of her daughter, Victoria
Luise, to the hereditary Grand Duke
Adolph Friedrich of Mecklenburg will
be officially announced.
The kaiser's daughter celebrated her
nineteenth birthday September 3D. Her
future husband is twenty-nine years old.
Until 1910 he was a lieutenant in the
LIST Guards Regiment at Potsdam and
was considered a very lively young Of
ficer. Only recently his father command
ed him to return to New Strelitz. where
the young grand duke has since led a
lonely life. The Grand Duke Adolph
FREDERICK has two sisters, who at one
time were the talk of Europe. Jutta,
now the wife of Danile. future king of
Montenegro, was noted for her lively
love affairs with her interiors, while
still at her fathers court, while her sis
ter, Duchess Marie, married a French
plebeian, Georges Jametel, who, however,
was made a count by the Pope
Brings Riches to Family.
The marriage of Princess Victoria with
future Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz will bring about peace between
the ruling families of Prussia and Neck
lenburg, for the two houses have not al
ways been on friendly terms. The match.
not only for political but also for finan-
cial reasons. is considered important. The
kaiser is not a rich man and has a large
family, with numerous grandchildren.
while the house of Mecklenburg -Strelitz
is said to be the richest in Germany.
The kaiser, who has been at his hunt
ing castle in RomintOn, returns to Berlin
tomorrow to receive the new American
ambassador, John G. A. Leishman, VINO
will present his credentials.
While in Berlin the kaiser will also give
an audience to Count Won Bernstorff,
German ambassador at Washington. The
latter dined with the imperial foreign sec
rotary last Saturday and afterward said
that the relations of Germany and the
United States are now very friendly. No
differences exist between the two coun-
tries
