Cocoanut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

II you want TO keep your hair IN

Most soaps and prepared sham

dries the scalp. icakes the hair

plain mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
Is pure and entirely greaselessl, Is
much better than the most OK
pensive soap or anything else YOU
can use for shampooing, as this

Simply moisten your hair with

A Good Man for Judge

w. D. Lane, one of the 20 or
more candidates for the superior
court, is a good man for Judge.
Lane is a lawyer, of course. All
judges are lawyers, good or bad.
Lane is a good one.
But Lane is man, rather than
a lawyer. He has fine, human
sense of justice, and that is a quality
to be highly desired in Judge.
Lane is a substantial citizen. He
is of the sound type, but, withal,
and of even more Importance, he
sees the present, looks into the
future and does not bury himself
in the past.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Joseph Fels, widow of the great adj
mirer and disciple of Henry George,
the single-tax prophet, came forward
with an offer to contribute 81 100000
for the maintenance of a single tax
colony in Palestine. Mrs Fels' at
tempt to carry out the life-work of
her husband is of interest not only
from the point of view of the Jew
ish reoccupation Of Palestine, but
with respect to the wisdom of the
great economic and social idea which
Henry George announced to the
world. In no spot on earth would
this or any other social reform prom
ising more equitable human relations
be given fairer chance to show
what it can do than in a country
where Jewish law prevailed. Mrs.
Fels' plan presents the Zionist ideal
and the Jewish objective in a new
light No longer are we to think of
the Jewish mission as the revelation
merely of an abstract principle of
holiness to the world, but as the
practical working out of great social
reforms which may be applied
wherever human beings attempt to
maintain society. Thus shall Israel
teach the world not orthodox theolo-
gy, but sound sociology.-The Sen

ZIONIST CONVENTIONS.

Zionist conventions have a way OF
doing the unexpected things. They
are rich in the spectacular sacrifices
that fire the imagination and make
the blood flow faster Perhaps the
explanation for this dramatic char
acter of Zionist gatherings consists
in the fact that the movement is
popular, rejecting and expressing
the sentiments and the desires of the
masses who are always impelled to
attempt the daring and the striking
in human life. There seems to be
something in the air when a Zionist
convention is held which aWakens
and arouses the noblest generosity.
At the eighteenth annual convention
held in Boston last year, Nathan
Straus offered his yacht for the re-
lief of the war sufferers in Palestine,
and this year at Philadelphia, Mrs.

KEEPING A RECORD OF
THOSE WHO GO TO
BORDER.

The bureau of Research and Sta
tistics of the American Jewish Com
mittee announces that it is engaged
in compiling an authoritative list of
all Jewish guardsmen, particularly
those now on their way to the Mex
lean border. Such a record, Of
course, is desirable in order that the
measure of Jewish service to the
Nation may not be left to general
impressions, but rather may be re-
duced to exact terms. Unless efforts
are made to tabulate the guards
men Of Jewish origin or faith, many
will be lost to the record. Owing to
the conditions which obtain in the
army, even where open prejudice
does not exist, many a Jewish troop
er prefers that his Jewishness be not
suspected. In the English army,
the Jewish chaplains have fought
against the tendency of Jewish sol
diers to change their names when
they enter the service. The compil-
ing of the list the Bureau of Re-
search and Statistics has in mind,
must help to counteract this ten
dency and to encourage the habit of
enlisting under ones true colors.
But other good results will flow
from keeping a record Of all Jews in
the American army. In order to or
ganize welfare work for guardsmen
of our faith it is necessary to know
what the extent of the need is. Also,
