ALKALI MAKES SOAP
BAD FOR WASHING HAIR
< x x < 4 < x y = Z < * * x *

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is purO
and entirely greaseless. Its very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, eleansos
thoroughly, and rinses out easily Tho
hair dries quickly and evenly and ia
soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy
and easy to handle Besides, it loosens
and fakes out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandruff.

ORGANIZATION OF
LABOR NECESSARY
DECLARES PRIEST
Opposition By Employers Caus-
ed BY Unreasonable Desire
For Profit.

The Rev. John A. Ryan, D. D., of
| the Catholic University at Washington
| gave a lecture on labor unions re-
| Gently, which has created interest. His
| subject was: "Are Labor Unions a
Neoessity?" And in his Introductory
remarks he declared it would be treat
/ ed from a Catholic standpoint.
| DR.. Ryan stated all three groups
| composing the Industrial Relations
| Committee, the committee appointed
| by Congress to investigate the causes
| of social unrest, agreed that labor Or
| CARNATIONS were necessary, and ma
| jOrity of the committee admitted the
right of labor to organize. Pope Leo
| XII was also quoted as favoring all
| kinds of associations through which
the condition of labor can be improv-
| ed, the most important being the
wofkingmen's unions. The lecturer
pointed out these two instances of
widely divergent interests, civic and
religious, to prove that authority ia
vors labor unions.
The prejudice against organization
and the spirit of individualism in the
early part of the last century were
given as the main causes for the oppo-
sition encountered by the labor union
movement at the outset Despite the
theory of economists of that time on
the wage fund theory, in which they
tried to prove that laborers could not
get any more wages than were put
aside for them every year, and that if
they succeeded in getting more in one
branch of industry some other branch
had to suffer. he stated, labOrerS real
lied the necessity for organization be-
ceuse members of every class know
something concerning their own in
terests better than anyone else. DR..
Ryan said there is nothing finer in the
history-of liberty than the struggle
of the 1aboring class to organize in
the face of opposition without and
Indifference within.
The lecturer gave several reasons
for the necessity of labor unions, but
the fundamental reason, he said, was
the fact that the employer is stronger
in bargaining power than the indi-
vidua1 employe.
THE old theory of q laborer quit
ting if he was not satifsed and taking
another job sounds well enough" said
Dr. Ryan, t'but it doesn't work in
practice, as the employe on the aver
age cannot hold out more than six or
eight weeks, while the employer would
not have to shut down for any one
man. No class of 1aborers ever ex-.
perienced any considerable improve
nent in it's condition through benevo-
Ience of employers"
DR.. Ryan went on to show that Ia
Dor unions are almost solely RESPONSE
BILE for improved conditions in wages
and hours, and to them is due the fact
that safety devices and sanitary meth
DDS have been introduced in work
shops.
s'In all cases conditions among I'M
organized workers are worse than
those among organized, where other
circumstances are the same he said
In summing up DR.. Ryan declared
the main reason for employers oppo-
sition is a desire for either profits or
Industrial power, and that these are
unreasonable desires.

Continental Army
Plan Is Opposed By
The National Guard

Washington, Feb. 2.-The continental
army was vigorously opposed ,yester-
day before the House military com
r1ittee by Representatives of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National
Guard association, headed by Adju-
tant General Foster, hof Florida The
strongest support of the continental
plan, General Foster declared, came
from those who hoped and believed it
would fail and that it's failure would
mark a, long step toward compulsory
military service.
General Foster charged that there
was a propaganda to discredit state
troops for federal use and that the
public had been given the impression
that the guardsnen were seeking a
militia pay bill for their own profit.
That was not true, he said.
General Foster said, the guardsmen
had determined that the state troop
system regulated and supervised by
the federal government as they be-
Heved Congress had full power to di-
rect, Would provide a better and more
adequate and efficient means of rails
ing and training troops than the pro-
posed PLAN.

THE HORSE CARS.

The horse cars appear already to be
doing a good business and persons
who have heretofore been doubtful as
to the road being a paying institu-
ton, are beginning to be quite san
guine the other way on the subject.
1t is persistently argued by some that
the thing is new and novel and peo-
pie are rushing to the cars and riding
back and forth Gust for the( fun of
it, Gentlemen, we predict the sue
cess of the road. It will pay. But
pay. or not pay it is in the hands of
men who have the means to keep it
going and the people will have the
benefit of it.
