Eleven applications for relief have
been received by the civilian relief
committee OF the District branch of the

Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
IL you want to keep your hair look
ing its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkslL
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins IL.
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 teaspoonfuis will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
1t in. II 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 mulsiied cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.--Advt.

PACIFISTS' MEETING
PROVES Big FIZZLE
Gathering at Convention Hall
Savors of Teutonic Taint
and Anarchism.

Pacifism savoring suspiciously OF
Teutonic taint, anarchism, and foreign
influence, perished ignominiously at
an anti-war mass meeting held in
Convention Hall last night.
Precautions taken by the police
authorities prevented a repetition of
the riot scenes that marked the meet
ing in Baltimore the night before.
Early last night there were men
acing mutterings in the crowds
thronging about Convention Hall, but
admittance was denied those who had
no tickets, and the police permitted
none of the groups of anti-pacifists
to lounge in the vicinity.
While there were several hundred
persons who had been attracted there
through curiosity or a craving for
excitement, the audience for the most
part was a strange and motley mix
ture OF humans, numbering about
one thousand.
La Toilette Speech Distributed.
Pamphlets and other literature sold
or given away by swarthy young
women who spoke in broken English
included Senator La Follette's speech
against armed neutrality, an Emma
Goldman lecture on birth control,
Socialist newspaper and tracts deal
ing with anti-war subjects.
Shortly before s o'clock more than
100 anti-pacihsts surged about the
ted, because they did not have
tickets.
A squad OF policemen in command
of Captain Peck, aided by Central Of
fee detectives and guardsmen, quick
ly dispersed the crowd and cleared
the sidewalk.
Inspector Boyle, assistant superin-
tendent of police, arrived on the scene
at s o'clock and issued orders for the
policemen to keep men and women
moving. There were subsequent
gatherings or groups on nearby cor
ners, But the "move on" order averted
any demonstration.
Spasmodic Outbursts Suppressed.
Supplementing the police, the Third
Battalion OF the Third Regiment, un-
der command. of Major Alexander
ed by Capt. Frank Lockhead, held
themselves in readiness in the l. street
armory, adjoining Convention Hall.
Sporadic outbursts by anti-pacifists
occurred several times during the
meeting, but the police were prompt
in suppresslng any indications of dis
order. So complete was the control
OF the police that not a single arrest
was made and no one was elected
from the hall.
A few Kisses greeted the announce
ment that President Wilson's address
to Congress contained a request for a
declaration that a state OF war exist.
ed, and there was much applause for
the anti-war utterances OF the speak
ers. but in the main the enthusiasm
waned as the meeting neared its
close.
Crowd Becomes Restless.
At 10 o'clock the crowd began to
grow restless. The men in charge OF
the meeting realized that something
besides speaking must be done to
old the audience together. Finally
the band stationed in the gallery at
the other end OF the hall was directed
to strike up an air.
Arising to their feet, the twenty
bandsmen began playing ''The Star
Spangled Banner" Barely had the
