CORPORATION CONTRACTS
CAUSE VAST ANNOYANCE

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2S.-Two funda-
mentally opposed ideas with regard
to corporations contracts, held by
American courts, have caused the cor
porations of the United States untold
irritation, according to George T. Nc
Dermott, of Topeka who spoke before
the State Bar Association of Kansas
here today. Mr. McDermott pointed
out that when he spoke of a corpora
tion's contracts he referred to the
printed documents which a company
prepares and sends to its agents to gov
ern its transactions with the public,
such as bills of lading, express receipts
telegraphic blanks, surety bonds and
insurance policies.
He asserted that of these two gen.
eral lines of thought, the one held by
most courts, enforces such contracts

BLOCKADE

ABANDONED, SAYS A
BRITAIN.

London, Jan. 27.-The result of the
anxiously-awaited debate in the house
of commons on the blockade question
is that the British government ad-
heres to its existing policy.
A resolution introduced by Arthur
Sherley Benn., unionist, that the on
tire overoceanic traffic with Germany
should be prevented by blockade,
was talked out and the subject drop
ped, thus leaving the position eX-
actlv as before the debate, except
that parliament seemed more con
verted to the government policy.
Interesting figures published by the
war department party demolished the
elaborate structure raised by the
newspapers, and Sir Edward Grey'S
effective speech appeared to finish
the work thus begun.
After the foreign secretary had
spoken. Commander Belairs said he
had expected that nine-tenths of the
house would be against Sir Edward
Grey, but since his speech he had tc

Believers In Witchcraft.

A firm belief in witchcraft is nat
ural tc a country which together with
a profession of Buddhism retains the
worship of nature spirits. Two cases
are reported within the last month in
India. In the wilds Of the Upper
Chindwin a man killed an old woman
of fifty on the ground that she was
a witch, then surrendered himself to
the police. In Pegu, less than so miles
from Rangoon, where British ciyili-
zation has been at work for over sixty
years, a woman cut off her sons head
believing him to be possessed of a
devil.

Zen1o for Ddndruff

You do not want slow treatment
when hair is falling and the dandruff
germ is killing the hair roots. Delay
means-nO hair.
Get, at any drug store, bottle of
zemo for 2jc or S10O for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff germ,
nourishes the hair roots and Immediately
stops itching scalp. 1t is sure and safe,
is not greasy, is easy to use and will not
stain. Soaps and shampoos are harm
ful, as they contain alkali. The best
thing to use is Zemo, for it is pure and
also inexpensive.

fact. after the foreign secretary sat
down the house gradually emptied,
and at one time during the debate
only half a dozen members were pres
ent.
Gershom Stewart, unionist, thought
it would be advantageous to allow
France to conduct negotiations with
America respecting the blockade.
William 4. Hewins, unionist, thought
that Sir Edward Grey had failed to
make as good case as he might
have done and contended that Great
Britain had not yet touched the Ger
man economic machine, He wanted
to see Germany wrecked on the econ
omic as well as the military side.
The Right Hon Sir Robert Finlay,
unionist, said the government had
every reason to be satisfied with the
debate. He suggested that food be

Claims No Truth in Charges.
Lord Robert Cecil, parliamentary
under secretary of foreign affairs, as
sured the house on the authority OF
Lord Farringdon that there was no
word of truth in the charges brought
against British representatives in neu'
tral countries. He regarded with sus'
picion those in neutral countries who
were urging the allies to declare a
blockade.
eve are trying to do, with some
success" he said, something that
no nation ever tried before, namely
to blockade Germany through neu
tral countries. 1t is not case for
high-handedness, but rather for great
caution and circumspectiOn. 1t would
be easy to make mistakes which
might be so serious as to prevent oul
winning the war
In outlining the governments po
sition, Sir Edward Grey said
"If we are to establish line OF
blockade, we must do it consistently
with the right of neutrals and we
must let through bona fide vessels
for neutral ports. We are unable
to do more than attempt to stop al
goods entering or leaving Germany
and that is being done.
81 would say to neutrals that we
can not abandon our rights of inter
ference with enemy trade and car
not exercise that right without con
siderable inconvenience to theil
trade. They must answer the one
main question;
cites Civil War Plan.
"Do they admit our right TO appl!

and to do our best to prevent trad'

Be Careful in Using
Soap ON Your Hair

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
muIsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure
and entirely grcasclcss. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to- pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last The whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub IL in, about a teaspoonful is
an that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather
clcanscs thoroughly and rinses out
easily The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft fresh looking

Palatka real estate and the news papers of that town place his wealth at over s1OO.OO0. He was the owner of a large orange grove and during the last few years had given up large part of his time to the raising of fruit. At the time of his death he was planning to retire from law to devote his entire time to the manage ment of his properties.
 Many bequests were contained in the destroyed will found in his safe after his death. Yale university. of which he was an alumnus, was to re- ceive one-fourth of his wealth; $5, 900 was to go to Joseph H. Spafford of New York, his former law partner, while the Palatka Athletic club, the public library and St. Marks church of that town were each to receive $1,- 900. There were some other public bequests and rem emb brances for a mum Der of friends. Nieces and nephews were also named to share in the distribution.
