The best thing for steady use Is Just

than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.

hair dries quickly and evenly, and II
leaves the scalp soft and the hair fine

easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil

A PREPAREDNESS LESSON

The Hon. George Won Lengerke
Meyer, erstwhile Secretary of the
Navy, and all-round fighting man,
has provided fine example of prac-
tical preparedness. Being invited
by an old and cherished enemy to
"step out in the street and settle it"
Mr.. Meyer, fresh from the prepared
ness propaganda platform, put his
theories to the test and stepped.
Modern diplomatic usage in these
matters, displacing the ancient code,
rather presumes that the challenger
doesn't challenge unless he feels
pretty certain of his superior armor
and armament. The somewhat
meager details that the censor has
passed indicate that in this case the
challenged party demonstrated a
fitness which indicated that his op-
ponent's espionage service had
fallen down on it's job. The distin-
guished maritime combatant bore
himself in a fashion that accorded
with the finest traditions of the
navy. He accepted instantly, put out
from the Metropolitan Club port
under full steam, cleared for ac-
tion, and gave, according to all re-
ports, an excellent account of him
self. 1t appears that the willy foe
had the advantage of a concrete
emplacement in the form of a side
walk, which served Useful purpose
but despite this the navy gunnery
was highly creditable and the heavy

Bureau of Engraving and Print

Director Joseph +. Ralph. OF the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing. saS
the close observer is absolutely riGhS
about it, Our stamps have been on
color and sicklY looking for some eight
months. and the shortage OF German
dyes is responsible for their faded ap-
pearanCe.
Substitute American or foreign dyes
have not conveyed the bright colors OF
the German product. However. TIE di-
rector impartS a rather important bit I

the dyes arc strictly for the use Of
Uncle sam. and it is on this condifiol
! that they are allowed to come through
/ in these war times.
| Mr.. Ralph expects 10 get ire Dyes
| within the next two weeks, and i!En
the stamps will reflect their oId-tline

! This is especially noticeable In the red
stamps. and the 2-centers will be found
of lighter color than heretofore There
arc also other stamps presenting a

probably the best example. 1t used to be
