WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH THEIR OWN HAIR

Mrs Mae Martyr. writing for the
New York Times, says: society has
taken to home shampooing for only
one reason, and that is to save their
natural hair. Most hair dressers in
sist on shampooing with soap jelly.
which in time will ruin any head or
hair The alkali in soap bleaches ana
come brittle and fall out.
Society women avoid these condi-
tions By washing their own hair with
a teaspoonful Of canthrox dissolved IN
a cup of hot water. This simple in
expensive shampoo cleanses perfectly,
dries quickly without any i'll effects
and leaves the hair soft, lustrous and
fluffy. Only a few minutes are requlr-
ed for one of these perfect, delightful
shampooS."

MIGHT CAUSE ANOTHER SCARE.
Ieavenworth Would Be as Badly
Frightened by Boat as Indians Were.

I,eavenworth, Kan, Sept. 26.-The
first steamboat that ever passed up the
Missouri river was the Western En-
gineer." In 1919 this boat, in COM
mand Of Major S. III. Long. went up
the Missouri as far as the Yellowstone
The boat is thus described in con-
temporary report of the expedition:
"The boat was small one with a
stern wheel and an escape pipe SO
contrived as to emit a torrent of smoke
and steam through the head of a ser
pent with a red, forked tongue from
the bow This was designed to irni-
tate a powerful serpent, vomiting hre
and smoke, and lashing the water into
a foam with it's tail, in order to strike
terror among the Indians. Tradition
saws they thought it was ''maniteau
which had come to destroy them.
This was only twelve years after
Robert Fulton's steamboat had first
plowed its way up the Hudson, so it
will be seen that the art of steam
navigation had made pretty rapid
It has been so long a time now,
however, since a large passenger
steamer was seen on the river here
that the appearance Of one would
create as much excitement if not as
much fear as did the ''maniteau" OF
go wears ago.

$500 in fees which should be turned
over to him. He says that he is forced
to borrow money from the banks to

SPAIN PROTESTS TO MEXICO
Diaz Now in Controversy with Three
Nations.
OBJECTS TO BRITISH MARINES
Action of Captain vivian of the
shearwater Described as Inter
ference with Internal At
fairs of Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, April N.-Spain, through
its minister to Mexico. Bernardo de Colo
gan, today made formal protest to the
foreign office against the assassination of
six subjects of King Alfonso in the state
of Puebla last Friday.
Mexico now finds itself in diplomatic con-
troversies with three nations as the results
Of incidents growing out of the revolution.
1t is not believed that those with Spain
and Great Britain will involve anything
more serious than the formal exchange of
notes.
The incident that has resulted in the
spanish representations occurred on the
Atencingo hacienda in the state Of Puebla.
the property of Angel Diaz Rubin, a Span
lard. A small band of rebels swooped down
on the office of the hacienda, where nine
OF the employees, all Spaniards, were gath
cred. Without warning they forced their
way into the room and demanded 500 pesos
They were told they could have no money.
In reply the rebels declared they wanted
more than money, that they wanted the
lives OF the ranchers and then began an
onslaught on the Spaniards with machetes,
It is said The latter fled. The rebels called
after them Run for we are going to shoot"
1t is reported. The rebels did shoot and six
of the nine men fell fatally wounded.
1t was on this same hacienda that rebels
appeared several days ago and secured
rifles, ammunition and 1900 pesos. Follow
| ing their attack of this week the rebels
sent word to other employees that they had
taken this means of avenging what they
styled treachery. They declared that fol-
lowing their first raid the Spaniards had
given the authorities information as to
their whereabouts and that since then the
| troops had been pursuing them closely.
This afternoon Minister de la Barra gave
assurances that Mexico would do all in
Its power to punish the guilty persons and
expressed his regret that such an incident
should have occurred. especially since the
victims happened to be foreigners and in no
way implicated in the fight against the
revolutlonists.
foreign office expressed the opinion that
landing Of marines at San Quentin, in
Lower California by Captain Vivian would
be satisfactorily explained by Great
| Britain.
! Minister de la BarTa said the note sent
to England was cordial and friendly, cal
culated to show the consideration which
Mexico feels for Great Britain, although
insisting on the maintenance of Mexicos
\ rights.
The government is not ready to announce
the names of the men who will represent
It in the peace conference and no state
ment has been made as TO where the meet
ing will be held.
There Is good reason for believing II will

formation concerning them was furnished
by the Mexican consulate here today.
II was said the word "spiritualistic" Is
used for want OF better one. In reality
the societies are organizations for psychic
research. The majority OF the political
leaders OF Mexico are said TO be of this
school and TO contend that their souls are
able to exert a mystic influence over the
souls of others.
Guell, It was said. will try to inoculate
Francisco !. Madero, jr. with the
thoughts Of members of the psychic school
who will concentrate their minds on peace
BY this means 1t is hoped finally to con-
vince the rebel leader that he should
influence his followers to agree to an i'm
mediate peace agreement
The studies that Guell practices are said
to be psychic in a modified sense; they
pertain not to the ordinary operations of
