MAN GROWS cURLS TO ORDER

LOndon.-"Twelve straight-haired
babies. not under . year old. wanted
at once-to make their hair grow

This IL the gist OF an advertisement
which appeared in q morning newspa-
per. It was q genuine advertisement.
and u babies with straight hair were
really required. c. Nestle, q West end
hair specialist, is the man who wants
the II infants. To q Daily Mirror re-
porter he explained his idea.
"One Of my private hobbies Is that
Of making straight hair curly" he
said. II have succeeded. by the sim

test with IL babies. SO long as they
are healthy. clean infants I do not
mind where they come from. It will
be . three months test. At first I
want the mothers and nurse to bring
their babies here, 20 that the process
may be demonstrated to them. After
ward they can continue the treatment
In their homes"
Mr.. Nestle said that the babies
must have straight hair. not more
than six inches long, and that the
treatment. which was absolutely harm

Enlarged Homestead Measure.

Rapid City.-Adtices received at the
local land office from the interior de-
pertinent indicate a favorable attitude
toward extending the enlarged home
stead act to the remaining govern
ment lands in western South Dakota.
It seems entirely probable that . con-
g%ressiOnal enactment to thics effect
will be forthcoming within a short
time.
South Dakota could easily have been
included in the enlarged homestead
region at the time the original meas
ure was enacted, but was eliminated
from the bill by special effort Of the
states delegation in congress at that
time. 1t is now generally claimed that
this elimination involved very faulty
judgment with reference to the welfare
Of the western part of the state.
The South Dakota legislature. at the
last session, adopted a resolution ask
ing that the unentered lands in South
Dakota be listed az subject to the full
section privilege, and such q bill is
now pending. The bill permits Of the
land being used for grazing purposes,
without the present requirement as to
cultivation. Persons who have previ-
ously take a homestead of 100 acres
are granted the additional right on
these lands to complete an entry OF
$40 acres.
In harmony with the suggestion OF
the interior department, Receiver Har-
ry L. Candy. of the local land office.
is communicating with homesteaders
for suggestions that will help to perfect
the measure.

Preserve Car Body.

For the particular man, one Of the
most trying things is to have the body
work of his car get shabby. The fol.
lowing mixture makes an excellent
"restorer" for the body work: One
pint of turpentine, one pint of wood al
cohol, one quart of distilled or rain
water, one quart of kerosene oil. Mix
the alcohol and turpentine together.
then mix the water and kerosene oil
together. In order to defy the old
adage about oil and water not mix
ing, 1t is necessary to place the kero-
sene and water in a gallon jar and
shake briskly until they mix, then add
the alcohol and turpentine, which
have been previously mixed, and
shake the whole until thoroughly mix
ed. The mixture is apt to separate
after standing, but can always be
brought together again by brisk shak-
ing. The mixture should be applied
to the body work with the soft side
Of a flannel cloth and polished with
dry one.

NEED A REGULATING VALVE
Use Of Water With Gasoline Means n
Considerable Saving Of Fuel to
the Auto Owner.

With the exhaust gas heater some
form Of regulating valve should be
used and few cross partitions in the
inlet pipe at the point where the heat
is applied help heat the center of the
column of the entering mixture. Gaso-
line will stand about eighty-five pounds
compression without preignition.
Kerosene, however, will not stand over
seventy pounds unless small quantity
of water is taken into the cylinder
with each charge. The customary man.
ner Of doing this is to employ either
a separate small carburetor for the
water or a small valve attached to the
regular carburetor. In a few engines
the water is injected directly into the
cylinder
The proportion Of water employed
is about one and one-half pints of wa,
ter to each gallon of kerosene. If the
water is not used when the motor has
the usual compression employed for
gasoline the motor will pre-ignite and
Is very apt to burn out the connecting
rod bearings. 1t is not generally known
that water may be used to advantage
with gasoline in about the same pro-
portion with considerable saving OF
fuel.

American Forces Is SignaIized.
Vera Cruz.-With all ceremony, the
firing of salute and dress parade, the
American flag was raised Monday over
the division headquarters of Rear-Ad.
miral Frank F. Fletcher.
Over the custom house the flag has
been flying since the landing of the
American forces, but until now there
has been no ceremony indicating the
formal occupation of Vera Cruz.
Capt Harry Mel. P. Huse, Rear-Ad.
miral Fletcher's chief of staff, who
gave the command to raise the flag,
is the officer who raised the Stars and
Stripes over Porto Rico.
With the lowering of the flag on the
Fortress of San Juan de Ulloa in the
afternoon the last Mexican flag disap-
peared from Vera Cruz, almost CO.
incidentally with the raising of the
American colors.
With the arrival of General Freder-
ick Funston's brigade, the Navy is
ready to surrender it's control over
that port to the Army.
Vera Cruz is the advance base of
suen operations as may be undertaken
against the City of Mexico in the event
of the collapse of mediation. AS is
usual after the seizure of an advance
base, the Navy will step out as soon
after the Army steps in as can be con-
veniently arranged
