Determination of the flair market
value" of parcels of realty in squares

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
)shampoos contain too much alkali,
which is very injurious. as it dries
the scalp and makes the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
}mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is
}pure and entirely greaseless. It's
}very cheap, and beats soaps or any
(thing else all to pieces. You can
(get this at any drug store, and a
flew ounces will last the whole fam
(ily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
tier and rub it in; about a teaspoon
full is all that is required. It makes
an abundance of rich. creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly. and is soft, fresh looking,
J bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides. it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.

SEES PARALLEL TO 1872
Fess. in House, Fears United States
Approaching Trouble in
Shipping Crisis.

In speech in the House today Rep
resentative Fess of Ohio declared that
there is a remarkable parallel between
the conditions of today and those
which led up to the war of 1872.
Representative Fess outlined the va
rious blockades and the blockading de-
crees which eliminated in the block
ade which starts today On all water
surrounding the British isles.
Events are travelling rapidly toward
the brink, where / fear something may
transpire. We all hope there may be
power enough in the events of the next
few days to prevent the United States
from getting into trouble. yet no mem
ber can close his eyes to what took
place previous to the war Of 1872.
What would be our attitude If a
vessel carrying Our flag in those
waters should be sunk?"
why should not our vessels stay
out of that troublesome Zone?' sug-
gested Representative Butler of Penn
sylvania.
That's exactly what I would ad-
vise," said Representative Fess.

The White House collection of pres

. dition today when Miss Mary Custis
Lee, daughter of Gen. Robert +. Lee.
contributed to the collection a plate
of the George Washington Cincinnati
dinner set. In many respects this is
the most valuable piece in the col
lection. as the Cincinnati china has
more historical associations and is
better known than any of the Wash
fngton china.

Lieut.. Col. Almon l.. Parmerter, L. 5
A, adjutant general District Of Co
lumbia militia. in orders published by
the War Department today, will he de-
tached as adjutant general April 1, and
will join the 18th Infantry, now serv-
ing at Galveston, Tex. Col. Parmerter' s
successor has not yet been selected, it
was declared at the War Department,
and Brig. Gen. George II. Harries.
commanding the District of Columbia
militia, will be consulted by the war
officials before one is selected.
There is no significance to today $
order, it was declared, further than
the fact that Col. 'Parmerter has been
away from troops for four years with
in the past six. and comes under the
so-called Manchu law recently passed
by Congress requiring officers to serve
at least two years within every six
with troops in the field.
Detailed Adjutant General in 1912.
Col Parmerter became adjutant gen.
eral Of the District of Columbia mill
tia April 1, 1912, and his lnree years
are up on the date sci for the change.
Previous to his coming to Washington
he had been on other detached service.
Since Col. Parmenter has been connect
ed with the District guard there has been
much improvement in its efficiency. Of
ficers of the guard who today learned of
the orders detaching Col Parmenter ex-
pressed much regret that he is to leave,
as they realize that in Col. Parmenter
they had one who not only had taken
much interest in the citizen soldiery of the
District, but had done everything in his
power to improve it and to help the Of
ficers attain the efficiency required by the
War Department.
His Military Record.
Col. Parmerter was born in New
York September II, 1860, and was ap-
pointed to the military academy from
New York in 1881. In June, 1885, he
was commissioned a second lieutenant
in the 23d Infantry, and his first pro-
motion, that to first lieutenant, came
to him May 2, 1892, when he was trans
ferred to the 18th Infantry. He later
was transferred to the 23d Infantry
again.
March q, 1899, he was commissioned
captain, and in April. 1908, major,
reaching his present grade last year
He is an honor graduate of the Infan-
try aud Cavalry School.
