COcoanut Oil Makes ~.
A Splendid Shampoo

II you want to keep your hair In
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contains too much alkaI. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for hampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair
Simply moisten your hair with wat
er and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls. 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, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves It fine and silky,
bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified coeoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months

What a Breakwith Germany May Involve.

President Wilson has given Germany the
thoice of abandoning her submarine warfare or
Of breaking diplomatic relations with US. What
does this mean to the United States and what
further complications are involved if Germany
decides to continue her submarine warfare
:, Capt. Henry ]. Reilly, military critic OF
national renown, in Washington dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune Analyses the situation in refer
ence to possible attack from Japan on the
United States.
He holds the view, and correct one, too. that
Great Britain is feeling the effects OF Germany's
submarine campaign, and that Germany is cogni-
zant of the power she has in her submarines. Let
q break come with Germany, and the kaisers
submarines will be given wide latitude in tor
pedoing merchantmen. If war follows, Germany
will try to strike us directly or indirectly at our
weakest points, and these are Mexico and Japan
p Our border defenses are weak. The guard
has never been strong enough to guard against
Mexican incursions. In case of war with Carran-
gas de facto government, our whole army will be
needed on the southern frontier. Students of
international affairs always have felt that war
between the United States and Mexico will en-
tangle us with Japan.
e The problem of restricting Asiatic irnnigra-
ton, burning question in Japan, has never been
settled definitely between our country and the
Mikado. 1t is pretty generally known that Japan
has designs on our island possessions and also
covets Alaska. Great Britain has lost her diplo-
matte influence over Japan, and furthermore is
unable to hold her in check by threat of her
arms because the United Kingdom has insuffi-
cient men now to wage determined campaign
against Germany.
80 If Japan wants to take advantage of our
weakness, in case we go to war against Mexico,
the Mikado would have an excellent basis of OPP
erations in Mexico. 5sfssst
Now, let Germany, granted that break
comes, bring Japan and Mexico together, and the
United States will have its hands full at home.
From diplomatic standpoint, this would be Ger
many's move The Kaiser has no fear of our
navy and army, for they would be of very little
assistance to the allies In case of an absolute

Girls College Expenses

College girls have solved the problem OF high
living Investigation at Smith college shows
that the average cost per student in 1915 was no
higher than in 1891, when the cost Of living was
much lower than it is today. The Indianapolis
News commenting on the figures says:
To the benighted few who win still adhere to
the comic weekly idea of the frivolous expendi-
lures of girls at college, some figures prepared
by the dean of Smith college ought to be enlight-
ening. There it appears from statistics recently
compiled, 421 girl students spend an average of
$765.55 college year, the individual accounts
ranging from $3.50 to 81 $50, and SIS per cent.
spend less than $3.50, their budgets being made
up somewhat as follows:
Necessities .61.4 per cent
Pleasure, church and charities -. 80 per cent
Books and stationery ............ az per cent
The dean further shows that in the case of
students whose expenditures range from $3.50 to
$500 year, their items, beginning with the heav-
lest and concluding with that Of least expense,
were: Board and room, travelling. incidentals,
books, recreation, clothing, dues, health, church
and laundry. In the various groups spending
more than 5000, clothing was the next to the
largest item of expense, which indicates, so the
dean concludes, that the girls who must econo-
mize the most do much of their own dressmaking.
She then makes public page from the actual
ledger of student who is to be graduated this
June:

statement declares, that their expenditures, on
the whole are no greater than they were in 1891.
Them of course, we all know, the cost of living
was much lower and tuition, also, was $50 year
less It would seem, therefore, that the young
women students of the country's colleges-if
Smith can be taken as fair sample-are doing
very well in meeting and solving their financial
problems. Not much money, at any rate, is be-
ing wasted. And, in most instances, there is so
