CARRANZA GRANTS
USE OF RAILROADS
Supplies May Be Shipped to Mexi-

Has Contracts.
WILL FACILITATE THE PURSUIT

WASHINGTON, March 29.-Gen-
cral Carrsnza has agreed to permit
the movement of supplies to the
punitive expedition in Mexico over
the Mexico-Northwestern railroad.
The supplies will go as commercial
freight to concerns in Mexico with
which the army has contracts.
The permission for use OF the rail-
re ad is not granted in a military
sense and does not cover the move
ment of troops. for which the Ameri-
can army has not asked. It. will.
however, enable General Pershing's
force to get supplies in abundance
in country where motor truck
trains cannot carry them and will
thus aid immeasurably in the pursuit
of the villa bandits.

TODAY's BEAUTY TALK

You can make a delightful shampoo
with very little effort and for very
trifling cost II you get from your druggist
package OF canthroX and dissolve a
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. Your
shampoo Is now ready. Just pour a little
at a time on the scalp and rub briskly
This creates an abundance of thick,
white lather that thoroughly dissolves
and removes all dandruff, excess oil and
dirt. After rinslng, the hair dries quickly,
with fuffiness that makes it seem
heavier than II is and takes on rich
luster and a softness that makes arrang-
