GERMAN SHIPS
 INTERNED MAY
 BE TAKEN OVER
London Paper Suggests a Way Nations Can Be
 Reimbursed for
 Their Losses.

LONDON. Nov. 9. - Neutral ac- tions are offering the suggestion that they use German ships interned in their ports to compensate them for submarine losses, this by the ship ping correspondent of the Times. Discussing teh world shortage in ton- mage, the correspondent says:
 "In view of the continued wanton destruction of neutral ships, British owners are wondering how much longer neutral countries are going to allow the German vessels Co lie idle in their ports"
 After stating that there are nine ty German ships in Chilean harbors, the correspondent continuees: "Chih, like all neutrals, is suffering from lack of tonnage. Therefore, in view of British ship owners Chile. if she will not use these ships 10 export her products to Europe, should be asked to lease them to a power which can employ them and who will indemnify her for any loss in the port and har- Dor charges"

five or six feet higher than the pres

that much higher. The ground floor

Alkali in Soap
Bad for the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain 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), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. 1t makes an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, which rinses out
easily. remoing 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 lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
few ounces will supply every mem
