Sue To Test Eseheat Act.

The first steps to test the constitu-
tionality of the escheat Act OF 1915
were taken when counsel for the Co
lumbla National Bank and Union Trust
Company, of Pittsburgh. brought an
action in equity TO restrain the Auditor
General from enforcing the statute.
The Attorney General win defend tho
act, and It is probable that other finan-
cial concerns will intervene in the pro-
ceedings.
1t was estimated when the Legisla-
ture passed the law that It would bring
thousands OF dollars of many unclaim-
ed deposits into the State Treasury.

LONDON, oct 2S.-Indications
abound that the foremost issue in
British politics this winter will be the
problem of Ireland. Coincident with
the demand from the army chiefs FOR
more soldiers. and with the stringent
"combing out" of all industries in
England and Scotland which harbor
men capable of carrying lilies, re-
cruiting In Ireland has almost dried
up. Sim Fein has been scotched by
the execution or imprisonment Of
tho Sc of its leaders who survived the
Dublin revolt. but It's place has been
taken by the Irish Republican broth
erhood n revolutionary organization
fifty years old which has been work
Ing in the dark but feverishly and
effectively ever since Sim Fein col
lapsed and which some British au-
thoritios believe constitutes a more
pronounced danger than the old Sim
Fein or irish volunteers. who carried
on most Of their activities In tho
open.
II is the hope of the extremists In
Ireland, and especially of heads of the
"I. X. b." as the Irish Republican
brotherhood is always known, that
parliament will try to enforce con-
scription on Ireland and precipitate a
bloody revolt. In this story the ele-
ments of the recruiting crisis Will he
explained, and then some facts given
concerning the spread OF dislcyalty in
Ireland since the uprising.
There are in the armies of the en-
pire 16 battalions of Irlshmen be-
longing TO the Irish guards and to the

Paris, April fo.-Abandoning the new
open formation and the lately estab-
Iished practice of night attack the
Germans yesterday engaged two army
corps in dense masses against the
French positions northwest Of Verdun
between Avocourt and Cumieres.
Forces numbering at least a division
and a half charged the line between
Avocourt and Bethincourt. They ap-
preached to within hundred yards OF
the French trenches and seemed in
sensible to the fact that hundreds OF
their men were falling by the way. but
Notwithstanding their courage and the
weight Of their masses, they were
stopped. There was a dead line be-
yond which they could not pass. When
the attacking columns were thinnei
out by artillery and machine gun fire
so that a reformation became neces-
sary, the order to retire was given.
Twice were they obliged to fill up the
gaps in their ranks, but none of their
three onslaughts shook the French line,

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II YOU want to keep your hair in good
condition. be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
.csIp makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsitied cocoanut
oiI (Which is pure and entirely grease
,ess). is much better than the most eX-
nsnsiye soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't posi-
" injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. one or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp
Thoroughly The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust, dirt,
dandrufr and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsiied cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
and few ounces is enough to last every
one in the family for months.-Adv.

through the ravine near Cumieres. To
aid. the maneuver an attack was ST.
simultaneously made on the east bank of
the Mouse in the region of Champneu-
ille-Vacherauville. The few hundred
men who had succeeded in penetrating
the ravine were left on the field after
the action proved unsuccessful.
A third attack at the same time was
delivered on a position strongly or
ganized by the French northeast OF
Avocourt, the object seemingly being
to drive in the French line far enough
to turn Hill No. 304, which lies 800
yards to the south and constitutes
what is characterized as the "Gibral
tar in the French line in that district.
This attack met with more success
than the others, but after the Germans
had succeeded in getting footing at
some points in the first trenches the
French counter attacked and the net
result for the Germans was an increase
in their losses from the French bayo-
nets. 1t is stated at the close Of the
day the French held exactly the same
position as at the beginning Of the at
