Senate Pages wear Flowers

The Senate pages this session are a
remarkably bright and intelligent col
lection of young American citizens with
ssme pretensions to good looks, and
they have decided to add to their nat.
tiness by the wearing of a different
boutoniere each week. One week they
wore white carnations, another week
they sported red carnations and another
week each displayed big red rose-to
be followed by big yellow tulip,

HAIR COMING 0UT2

Dandruf causes feverish irritation
of the scalp. the hair roots shrink,
loosen and then the hair comes out fast.
To stop falling hair at once and rid the
scalp of every particle of dandruf, get
a 26-cent bottle of Danderine at any
drug store, pour little in your hand
and rub it into the scalp. After few
applications the hair stops coming out
and you can't find any dandruff.-Adv.

letting the Europeans get the commerce is evident.
These opportunities many times multiplied are
again offered to them, however, through war inter-
ference with Old World industries, and, it seems,
are not this time to be overlooked.

Russian Baltic Fleet Reinforced

London, March 20, 1856 p. M
Reuters correspondent at Petrograd
telegraphs that the Russian fleet in the
Baltic has been reinforced by the addi-
tion of modern fighting units.
This addition to the feet is believed
in London to consist of -four dread
noughts laid down in Russian yards in
1909, which were nearing completion
at the beginning of the war. 1t may
also include another division of four
capital ships laid down in 1912.
British naval exports said they
would not be surprised to learn that,
with the assistance of the allies in ma
terial and men, Russia had been able
to complete these eight dreadnoughts.
The first four mount twelve 12-inch
guns each. The second division is armed
with nine 14-inchers each.

THE kid COP" TO BE NO MORE

The old-fashioned truant officer ogre to fre-
quenty absent school children, is fast disappearing.
The United States Bureau of Education asserts as
much. 1t has investigated and ought to know.
When the old-fashiOned truant officer is no more
there will be cause for general juvenile rejoicing.
He will be missed by the school children of the
land, but not sadly missed His absence will to
them be his one great merit.
The truant officer of these many years of COM
pulsory education in America has been in the eyes
of the school children with whom he has had to
deal, their much feared antagonist. Variously
styled as kid cop,' and ''hooky catcher he has
not been respected by unruly public school pupils
as school authority should be respected.
His place is now being taken, according to the
government authorities, by the modern truant Off
Ger. The latter makes it his business not so much
to catch" truants to investigate the causes of
truancy in individual cases and to remedy so far
as possible the unfavorable conditions which he
finds existing. The officers of the new type try to
gain the confidence the respect and even the love
of the children, and it seems have been making
some progress in removing prejudices against truan
officers as class
Truancy or what is more famliarly known as
rplaying hooky," is an offense which must be ser-
ously dealt with, in this country's plans of CON-
Npulsory education. Yet truants themselves are not
always at fault. Sometimes their parents and their
home conditions to blame. In such cases the
task of the truant officer is difficult He must be
real diplomat if he is to remedy matters He must
be an entirely different person from the paddle
welding kid cop" of the comic supplements.

Gettysburg Book in Demand

From all parts of the United States

sion, is one of the most complete ever
printed by the State. Colonel Beitler
took his time in its preparation, and
that is one of its charms. From the
very inception of the Commission
Colonel Beitler has made faithful
and accurate record, and this, of course,
includes what took place at the reunion,
all told most Interestingly. The many
pictures in the volume are of the high
est order of merit, depicting scenes
during the reunion, portraits of those
who took part, historic spots on the
field, camp scenes and hundred and
one other interesting subjects. Colo
mel Beitler will prepare the second edi-
tion personally, which means that the
work will be thorough. But the $4,000
new edition authorized will hardly be
sufficient to supply the demand for
what is considered one of the most
handsomely printed and bound books
ever issued by thA State.
