Aside from the first evenings eXpe-

Warren awake, the week at the shore
promised to be delightful. Warren
awoke that first Sunday morning in
a good humor. The sunlight streamed
into their pleasant room. The surf
broke on the beach musically, with
an invitation in its murmur, and there
was an odor of hot rolls and bacon
coming from somewhere.

And when 1 had made a safe re-

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. 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 1t is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about teaspoonful
is all that is required. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it loo3ens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.-Adv.

Helen turned her head. 1t was one

she could not hide, and she could not
refrain from saying sharply:
"Yes, it is good looking. She looks
stunning and look all right, that's
Just the difference"
She said nothing more, but she re-

CAMP DIX NOT READY

Will Not Send Additional
Conscripts TO WrightS-
town Next Week
NO TIME SET FOR
NEXT ENTRAINMENT

Local exemption boards received no
tloes from Washington today to not
send any more men to Camp Dix until
further orders. This is taken to mean
that the 40 per cent. that plans had
been made 90 send to Wrightslown on
October will not leave on that day.
and there Is an impression that the
next contingent Will not go unth the
latter part OF next month ana possibly
not until November.
The reason for this change Of plans,
It is understood. is due TO the fact that
quarters for the next contingent at
Camp Dix are not completed. The gov
ernment does not want TO send the men
there until everything Is ready for
them

submitted a lengthy report TO the

Mr.. Richardson estimated that a

port as follows:
