FIGHT FOR CONTROL
OF DRY CONVENTION
Old Guard Objects to Attempt
of Ex- Moosers to Dominate
Proceedings at St. Paul.
MAY CHANGE PARTY NAME

St. Paul, July l7.-Rival factions in
the national prohibition party are lin
ing up their forces today for next
Wednesday. Whether the control Of
the party shall be retained by the old
guard, which has fought forty years
for a principle, or captured by the
newer element which is willing to
change the party's name and adopt
John M. Parker Of Louisiana or some
other progressive as a vice presiden-
tial candidate is the chief question at
issue.
Virgil G. Hinshaw of Chicago, ma
tional chairman, declared today that
he believes the remnants of the pro-
gressive party are waiting anxiously
for an invitation to join with the pro-
hibitionists.
1T was Colonel Parker who urged
Victor Murdoch to become a candi-
date for the prohibition party's nomi-
nation for vice president" Mr.. Hin
shaw said.
His action Of Saturday in calling
. new progressive convention, leaves
me in the dark as to his intentions.
Since Roosevelt disowned the party
he founded, many prominent progress
sives, in addition to Colonel Parker,
have made overtures to us. One OF
these is Raymond Robins OF Chicago.
Prohihition leaders have discussed
seriously the advisability of changing
their party name. Eugene N. Foss OF
Massachusetts, has said the ticket
could win the coming campaign with
himself a. its leader and new name
that would embrace more than the
single issue Of prohibition.
Opposed to the new ideas of fusion,
changes OF name and adoption OF the
surviving progressives, are a number
of leading prohibitionists, among
them Eugene w. Chain, presidential
nominee in 1908 and 1912,

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Few realize how many society wo-
men now wash their own hair, not
because 1t is fad, but because they
wish to obtain the greatest possible
hair beauty and be sure they are not
using anything harmful. The thou
sands who have found that in wash
ing the hair it Is never wise to use a
makeshift, but is always advisable to
use preparation made for shampoo
ing only, say they get the best results
from simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can enjoy this, the best
that is known, for about three cents
shampoo by getting some canthrox
from your druggist, and dissolving
a teaspoonful in a cup OF hot water.
Your shampoo is now ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. Your hair will be so fluffy that
It will look much heavier than Il is,
Its lustcr and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth.-Advertisement.

Philippine Silver
Coinage Sells at a
Very Large Profit
Correspondence of The Associated Press }

Correspondence of The Associated Press)
Manila, P. l., July l0.-The Philip
pine government has just sold to the
government OF British India 500, 900
silver pesos at profit Of close to
$500,000 over the original cost Of the
currency. The pesos when coined,
each contained about so cents worth
Of silver, but the price at which they
were sold was 1856 cents.
The phenomenal rise in the price OF
silver the world over some weeks ago
led officials Of the insular government
to study the question of the wisdom
OF disposing of part of the silver
hoard which the Philippines pur-
chased at the low prices current in
1902 and 1908. At that time this pur'
chase was made necessary by law to
secure the issuance of 100000 pesos
of paper currency (silver certihcates),
A later law, passed in 1906, permitted
large part of this issue of silver
certificates to be secured by gold
but the government then lad in its
vaults 100000 silver pesos, coined
at a cost OF so cents.
Some weeks ago J. L. Manning, the
insular treasurer, was sent to Hong
kong TO look into the silver market
and to confer with officials of the
government of India, then in the mar
ket for silver. The net result Of his
trip was the sale of about one-hfth
Of the governments hoard. The de-
livery Of the silver is to be made al
the Manila branch Of the Hongkona
and Shanghai Banking corporation
in lots OF a million pesos. The coin
is then to be transferred to India
where It is to be melted into bullion
in the presence Of lnsular Auditor
c. H. French, who is now en- route
to India to fulfill this duty.
