PRESIDENT OF LELAND STAMFORD
UNIVERSITY PUTS AUTOS
UNDER BAN

Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, President of
Leland Stanford University, in a state
ment, expresses the belief that wealth is
a handicap to the college student, and that
the poor boy has the advantage. He ex-
plains that Stanford does not particularly
seek poor boys, and discourage the en-
trance of the wealthy. However, accord
ing to press dispatches, Dr. Wilbur has
decreed that, beginning this year. autos
may not be owned by students, and that
frequent dances, the purchase Of expensive
flowers for goods, and similar luxuries,
will be banned.
He is so convinced that he is right in
this attitude, that he has sent circular
letter to students parents saying that
students with too much money are not
desired at the school if they are inclined

politics, and the Mexican struggle. The

battling in the waves for their lives. rep
resent sea warfare.
Death stalks through the aggregation,
whip in hand, as the ring master, while
the nations Of the world look on.
The picture is fttingly entitled, EToo
Gigantic to Comprehend Horrible as
it is, the wall of Poland, Syria Serbia, and
other war-ravaged districts, is not shown.
The facile pen of the artist has not por-
trayed the cry Of hungry children for
bread.
Never before in the world s history has
humanity faced the awful conditions of
today. Will the United States, which has
become plutocratic with blood money,
escape being drawn into the vortex?
These are times to make thoughtful
men pause and wonder whether we are
not facing the beginning Of "the time of
trouble, such as never was since there
was nation.

WOMEN SMOKERS BARRED FROM
LOS ANGELES CAFES

Chief Of Police, Claire Snively, Of Los
Angeles, California, has issued an order
banishing after-dinner cigarettes for
women from Los Angeles cafes
For many months, women have been
permitted to smoke openly in these bright
ly lighted eating establishments, but the
order stipulates that any woman, here
after, seen smoking in any such public
place will be subject to arrest and fine.

CANADA MAY BE FORCED TO RE-
SORT TO CONSUMPTION

Recruiting in Canada has practically
come to Standstill.
Something over $4,000 men have been
enlisted, and if the half million mark set
by the dominion is to be reached, volln-
tsry enlistment must be greatly stinulat-
ed or else recourse must be had to con-
scription.
A year ago, men were being enrolled at
the rate of 1000 day During the month
of August this year, fewer than 1000 a
week came to the colors.
Sir George Eulas Foster, Canadian min
lister off trade and commerce, in a recent
speech, said eff more men are needed
and will not go voluntarily, Canada will
have to learn the lesson of Great Britain -
A recent editorial in the Chicago Even
ing Post, in referring to the situation,
says

surprising. 1t is, indeed, inevitable I'M

HAIR OFTEN RUINED
BY WASHING WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very care
fully, IL 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 cocoa
nut oil (which is pure and
greaseless), and is better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub It in. II
makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and 1t 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 sup
ply every member of the family
for months.
