To Make Your Hair
Look Naturally Curly

After shaking the hair down and brush
ing It out, apply a little liquid silmerine
with a clean tooth brush and then roll
the hair in curriers'. This produces as
beautiful curls and waves as you could
wish for, perfectly natural in appearance.
and they will last a long time. The full
effect Is secured within three hours.
though some prefer TO keep the hair done
up over night
A few ounces Of liquid silmerine-which
can of course be had at any drug store
will last for weeks, so II is quite econom-
ical to use. It also serves as an excellent
dressing. giving the hair a delightful
gloss. When the hair is combed out It
will be as fluffy as though 1t had just
been shampooed.-Adv.

What V@rdum and Lorraine Iron Mines Mean to France

it was admitted that England's entry
was unexpected. there were rumors
that Germany. as an inducement Tor
France to conclude a separate peace.
was willing to give back Alsace-Lor-
raine. These reports always Will lack
historic verfcation, and the improba :
bility of verifying them is emphasized
by the industrial relation of Alsace-
Lorraine to Germany. He would be a
bold leader who would undertake to
say to the German people that they
must give up their ore fields in Lor-
raine and that the chief source OF raw
material for their. iron and steel IN
dustries must become foreign terri
tory.
Yet In France the passion for the re-
covery of the lost provinces becomes
to turn back the German invaders
That these should not pass Nerdun is
now one of the certainties OF the cam
paign. That France can press the
Germans far back, and even regain
Lorraine by force of arms, is not a
military proba bility-
When the peace negotiations come, as
they must come some day, Alsace-Lof
raine Will loom up bigger than ever
Should the allies be measurably VIC
torious the sentiment for the reincor-
poration of Aisace Lorraine into F'rench
territory will be almost irresistible.
Opposed to it viii be the determination
of the German people not to yeld ter
ritory which has become a source of
industrial lifeblood to them.
The German army, so far as human
ken goes, never will be able to possess
itself of the French iron ore deposits
which are not now within its control,
and the French army is qually unlikely
. to possess itself of the Lorraine iron
ore fields, although it may be able
slowly to retake some of those which
it has lost in the Meurthe eMoselle dis
trict But in the background still
looms up the question of the future
control of this great iron ore field of
Lorraine, Luxemburg and Meurthe-M Mo-
seIle. 1t is one of the economic trag-
edies in the life of the warning ma
tions and has a greater potency than
any mere political or military consid-
Grafton.
