A Weeks Work In CONGRESS.

Congress made record of expeditions service
last week by passing four bills prime Importance
those relating to ruraf credits food control mill
tary defense and national merchant marine A
few days of intensified effort produced more re-
suits than all the tedious months since the close
of the Christmas holidays What gain il would
be if Congress worked more often under whole
some pressure!
Most of the time lost in the present session
slipped away in a stubborn controversy over army
certain element of the House TO the gravity of
this issue. although conditions along the Mexican
frontier and in the Governments European rela-
tions were insistent with warning At last how
ever. through the adoption of the conference re-
port on the army bill, the country is assured of
something like adequate land defense
The rural credits and the flood control bills
have TO do with important and Iong-negIected
fields OF public welfare. 1t is taken for granted
that in one form or another they will become
laws before the present session adJourns.
Particular interest now attaches to the mer-
chant marine bill, which empowers the Govern
ment to take needfu steps for relieving the dearth
of transport facilities in Americas foreign trade
similar bill passed the House last year but was
defeated by Senate flibuster the part of the
Republicans. aided by some, Democrats who feared
Government ownership. Inasmuch as the new
measure definitely limits the Governments part
in the proposed merchant marine to a period of
fve years after the close of the European war II
IS expected that the former opposition of Demo-
cratic Senators will be withdrawn, and that the
bill will pass.

Cruisers and DreadnaughtS.

The navy bill recommended by the House COM
mittee is praiseworthy in its provision for five bat
the cruisers but in other important respects it
falls far short of what it ought to be. 1t allows
nothing for dreadnsughts and it omits the Ad-
ministration's five-year program of well-balanced
construction.
Battle cruisers, swift and powerful, are the
one type of vessel above all others in which the
American navy is most deficient, and the type which
has figured most in the European war Five cruis-
ers would be in no wise extravagant. But to
abandon entirely the building of dreadnaughts at
time when the country's need of defense is
peculiarly urgent would be false TO the clearest
principles of preparedness. AS for the fve-year
program it is essential if the United States is
have a well-defned policy of naval increases and
to get due value for expenditures.
1t is to be hoped that the Senate will put
strength and consistency into the weak navy bill
of the House, just it did with the army bill.

Train Your Hair as
An Actress Does

No class Of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses, and
naturally no class must be more care
full to retain and develop their charms.
Inquiry among them develops the in
formation that in hair care they find it
dangerous to shampoo with any make
shift hear cleanser. Instead they have
studied to find the finest preparation
made for shampooing and bringing out
the beauty of the hair. The majority
of them say that to enjoy the best hair
wash and scalp stimulator that is
known, get package OF canthrox from
your druggist; dissolve teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water and your sham
poo is ready. 1t costs less than three
cents for this amount After its use
the hair dries rapidly, with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
Your haid will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is. It's lus-
tire and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.
