Madrid, Diciembre 3.-En los
circulos politicos de esta Corte
hay gran revuelo con motive de
las afirmaciones de la prensa de
hoy references a una proxima cri-
sis.
En- ell salon de conferencias del
Congreso hubo hoy discusiones
acaloradisimas acerca de la esta-
bilidad del Gobierno: muchos di-
putados aseguraban que la Crisis
es inminente porque las divergen-
cias que existen entire los Minis

lucionarse por medic de compo-
nendas al estilo sagastino, que fue

conflictos de incompatibilidad que
con frecuencia ocurrian en- todos

Liberal que acaudillaba; en- cam
bio, otros muchos representatives
del pueblo consideration que Sc es-
taba dando exagerada importar-
cia a las diferencias de opinion que
pudiera haber en- ell seno del Mi

En- 10 que muchos estaban con-
iormes es en- considerar que ell Go
bierno va perdiendo firmeza con
demasiada rapidez, y a este pres
taba SUI personal autoridad ell Pre-
sidente del Congreso, don Miguel
Villanueva, que declare enfatica-
mente que Espana esta viviendo
en- un regimen perfectamente anti
constitutional y que ell Gobierno
esta g%obernando a espaldas del
Parlamento.
Aunque ell senior Villanueva es
acerrimo enemigo de TODD Gobier-
no en- que no figure a su cabeza,
sus palabras no dejaron de hacer
impression en- ell grupo de diputa-
dos que lie escuchaban al hacer esa
sensational declaration, y en- Sc
guida, corrio como reguero de
polvora por todos los circulos po-
liticos madrilenos que Ell Presi-
dente de la Camara Baja estaba
en- contra del Gobierno, al que
concedia muy escasa vida.
Con este Sc acentuaron los ru-
mores de crisis y comenzaron a
barajarse nombres de los futuros
sustitutos del Marques de Alhu-
cemas en- la Presidencia del Con-
sejo de Ministries, siendo uno de
los que mas sonaban ell del actual

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
if YOU want to keep your hair looking
it's best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkan.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. 1t makes an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky. bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy. it's very cheap. and
few ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.-Adv.

British Tommles' Wit,

The British soldier is famous for his
humor, and In Malta, recently, he rose
to the occasion. The system of horti-
culture in the island Is, Of course, al
most unique. The ground being most
ly plain rock, gardens are formed by
importing soil and just laying it out
on the hard surface. Thus the small
est possible patches are used as gar
dens, and are shifted, at will, from
place to place, the whole performance
being a source of great interest to the
British Tommy. Il have seen our SOL
diers," says one writer, standing in

"Bird" Without His Feathers.

An amusing story is being related
In London reminiscent of Gallipoli
days. It tells of General Birdwood,
whose wont it was to move freely
about among his troops. often in the
heat of the day. clad only in khaki
shorts and shirt, and his coat, with
the customary stripes and insignia Of
his rank, discarded. He was talking
one day, with an Australian private
who, quite ignorant Of the generals
identity, was lolling casually against
the side Of trench, and addressing
his commander in chief quite as an
equal. much to the dismay of nearby
subaltern. When the general had
passed along, this "sub" took it upon
himself to enlighten the private Of the
enormity Of his ignorance. At the fin
ish Of the junior officers harangue
said the private to the sub: "Very
sorry, sir, but how was to know who
he was? Why doesn't he wear his
feathers, like any other bird would?"
