cause badness usually comes from
carslessness and anyone who gives
the hair lust a little attention should
have an abundance OF good healthy
hair. Dandruff and dirt help cause
badness by cIoRging the pores In the
scalp and giving the dandrun germs
fertile ground for prolific breeding.

PARIS, May 14.-An Paris is talk
ing about Teddy Roosevelt's divi-

The Parisian-man-in-the-s the
discreet government official, the
Partisan housewife, will all ask any
American today the same question:
@when do you think NJ Teddy
Roosevelt will come to Paris with
that picked American divisionT"
1t is perfectly safe to predict that
Paris will Guido almost any popular
manifestation in history-except pos
sIbiy the French reVolution-if 1t has
. chance to see Roosevelt marching
At he head Of American troops,
probably under the Arc De Triomphe,
down Avenue Champ D'Elysee and
into the Place De La Concord in front
of the Chamber Of Deputies before
going out to deal with the enemy.
Familiar to Frenehmen.
The popular French idea Of Roose-
Welt dates back to Spanish American
war days.
Parisians remember that Roosevelt
later came to Paris; how the re-
doubtable Teddy" went to Africa
10 slay ferocious wild beasts, and
how he later told the British some
thing straight from the shoulder in
their own home town, in his speech
at Guildhall, London. In short, the
French have an unshRkeable conf
dence in the American ex-President
They regard him as an ideal type OF

Frenchmen honor President Wilson

They put him down as one OF the
greatest men in history. He Is al

cheers. Even mention Of his name
brings enthusiastic applause. News
papers spread his name in big type

comes the inevitable question:
when will Teddy arrive?
Since America entered the war
Paris has recorded the Joy Of Francs
in multiplied abundance. American
hags hutter everywhere; Frenchmen
wear the Stars and Stripes in minia-
ture buttons. Ambassador Sharp has

EFFORT to check the spread of autoe-

Tall, stately, dignihsd. Colonel Fen
ton is all OF that. but when you have
scrutinized and marked closely his
military bearing, his commanding ap-
peRrGnce, you glance to his one out
standing, prepossessing trait, the
golden Fenton smile. This smile has
been doing overtime duty for these
last several weeks-or, to be exact,
from the minute that preparations
were begun At Fort Myer to convert q
stretch OF unoccupied lots into a mill
tary home for young men.
In spite OF the rush OF plans, the
jam OF orders, the crash OF hammers
and saws on young pine timber,
Colonel Fenton has not lost his smile
and as he looked out Of the win

saw the sun shining on the new piece

Smile Means Much.
That golden smile, in the opinion
of army officers at Fort Myer, will
mean much to the student officers
who hit the camp today full Of pep
and enthusiasm to take UP their work.
Under the ciOsely-nttIng military
cap that Colonel Fsnton wears is q
head Of partly gray hair. Colonel
Fenton is too retiring to admit that
streaks OF gray are the result OF
hours spent on military problems, but
his record in the Army War College
win attest that probably Il at least
had something to do with IL.
Colonel Fenton Is six feet three

regrets a little bit that they didn't
play football at West Point when he
was . student there, back in 1883.
That was the year the commandant OF
the reserve officers training camp
was graduated from the Academy,
and he has been pretty nearly all
around the country on military duty
since that time.
