SOAP is BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
inly, if at all. if you want to keep
your hair looking its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut
oil (Which is pure and greaseless).
is cheaper and better than soap or
anything else you can use.
One or two reaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly- Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub II in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy
lather. which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp SOFT, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, 1ustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage
You can get muIsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and a few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.-Adv.

Sweden Submits Formal Notice
of Violation to Lansing.
DIPLOMATIC LETTERS TAKEN?
Complaint Says One Registered

First Official Communication on
Long Suspected OutrageS.
DIPL OMATIC LETTERS TAKEN?

Washington, June 1S.-Formal no
tice that United States mail pouches
destined for Sweden had been broken
open in England and their contents
tempered with has been submitted to
the state department by w. A. F.
Ekren, the Swedish minister, with a
request for appropriate action.
Violations Pointed Out.
The minister called at the depart
ment and delivered to Secretary Lans-
ing a letter written on instructions
from his government, reciting in
stances of interference with mail for
Sweden and pointing out that such
acts were in violation of the provisions
of the world postal convention and
of other treaty stipulations.
The letter stated that the seals of
mail bags were broken, that letters
were opened and censored and that
one registered unit was retained.
Two Specific Cases.
Two specific cases were mentioned,
one involving mail sent on the Amerf-
can steamer New York, when she left
on May 20, and the other pouches
carried by the British steamer Adri-
attic, which sailed on May 81.
Whether the piece of mail matter
shown by a comparison of receipts to
be missing was an official communi-
cation has not been revealed, but it is
known that diplomatic correspondence
was sent from Washington on the
Adriatic.
While various reports have been in
mail since the outbreak of hostili-
ties in Europe, the protest from Swe-
den is the first official cOmmunica-
ton on the subject.

summer school at Emporia State Nor
NAL that sometimes the pupil knows
more than the teacher. 1.-The leaving
school problem has for a long time
been one that has attracted the at
tention of school authorities said DR..
Goddard. Apparently through recent
studies in the line of mental detectives
one of the very frequent causes has
never been recognized and that is to
put 1T in a rather peculiar way, those
children know more than their teach
ers. They somehow recognize they
cannot learn and so leave school.
Their teachers may not have discov-
cred it but they nave reached the
point where anything more is uninter-
esting to them. They do not see the
need. They have reached the limit of
their mental capacity They are filled
up. They cannot understand anything
beyond. Usually they begin to fail

mote them on their height

use of intelligence tests to students of
the summer school, using children

PUTTING a STOP TO
UNLAWFUL TRAPPING

A placard setting forth the state anc
federal laws relative to the shipment
of hides and other products of wild
animals and game is soon to be gotten
out by Postoffice Inspector Neal and
State Game Warden Jones' Copies
will be made for posting in every post
office and express office lobby.
The state law prohibits the ship
ment by mail or otherwise of the hides
of any animals Illegally caught. and
the federal law makes it a violation to
ship any such illegal product out of
the state. The postal law prohibits
its being sent by parcel post, and the
interstate commerce law prevents its
going by freight or express.
Recently several shipments of hides
of animals illegally trapped in the
state were intercepted after they had
left the Idaho line, through the opera
ton of the federal laws
Mr.. Neal and Mr.. Jones are of the
opinion that if the attention of people
is directed to the federal law which
prevents such products being shipped
out of the state, the incentive for un-
lawful trapping will have been remov-
ed and it will therefore cease.

Look Over Irrigation Projects Near
BoiSe=-AISO Visit Jerome
and Twin Falls.

While car after car was speeding
toward Boise last week, loaded to ca
pacity with people coming TO see the
Oldfeld- Thompson exhibition, six
seven passenger automobiles carried
the members of the irrigation commit
tee of congress and their guides out
over the Black Canyon and Boise
Payette irrigation projects in Ada and
Canyon counties.
On one side as far as the eye could
reach were fertile fields--on the other
the sage brush desert of the Black
Canyon project, furnishing a striking
contrast. Though of necessity the
members of the party must look over
the situation without sentiment, yet
barren farms and deserted homes on
that bleak area told better than could
any orator, the story of the long,
dreary profitless. pitiful struggle for
existence which had been the portion
for many years of those who sunk
their last penny in their little home
their government might some day say
the magic word which would bring to
them water enough to permit them to
make a fair living.
