WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH THEIR OWN HAIR

They do, not because it is fad,
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and be
sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always advis-
able to use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many of our friends
say they get the best results from
simple home made canthrox mixture.
You can use this at a cost of about
cents a shampoo by getting some can
throx from your druggist, and dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful in a cup of hot wa
ter This makes enough shampoo
liquid to apply to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. as with
most preparations. Dandruff. excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear in the rinsing water Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its luster
and softness will also delight you

HOPING FOR PEACE
German Socialist Delegates See
Chance for an End.
Desire That Something Be Done
Before L. S. Enters.

Copenhagen, May 31.-The pro-
gram of the German majority Social
ist delegates to the Stockholm con-
ference, from the statements of DR..
Eduard David one of the leading del
egates, evidently carries no endorse
ment by the German government
Doctor David clearly intimated that
the action of the delegation is only
binding upon its party and that the
ENJOYS have no definite pledges or
authorizations from the administra-
ton at Berlin.
The hopes of the delegates that the
German government ultimately will
be found amenable to the majority So
cialiSt program of peace without an
neXations or indemnitieS are based
partly upon the party's strength and
influence in Germany and partly upon
the indefinite statements of that mas
ter phrasemaker, Chancellor Won
Bethmann-H ollweg, like his declara
ton that the government is ready to
conclude a peace which will leave no
thorns to rankle."
Doctor David does not hope that the
peace will result directly from the
Stockholm movement. The utmost he
expects is that the conference will lay
basis for a peace movement on
which peace lovers in all countries can
unite.
Regret Break With U. S.
If the conference prove abortive,
DR.. David declares that Germany has
perfected its organization so as to live
on what it can raise and it will con-
tinue the struggle without weakening.
In answer to a question regarding the
present German attitude toward
America the Socialist leader said that
there was no one in Germany who
did not regret the break with the
United States and that it was the gen.
era1 hope that the war would be con-
cIuded before Americas participation
in the conflict could become actual.
Question ed as to the fate of the re-
form movement DR.. David asserted
that reform was sure to come but did
not specify as to whether the change
would be effected during or after the
war.
I'VE are in some respects ahead OF
America" he said, ''in that we have a
more democratic central parliament
We are also ahead of England in this
respect. We need a more democratic
franchise for Prussia and are going
to obtain it."
The German Socialists apparently
intend to remain in Copenhagen for
some days before proceeding to
Stockholm. Their stay there will be
limited by the prospects of results
and the leassembling of the German
reichStag in july

asked Connolly if he was still owner
of the Telegram and the congressman
replied as follows:
I'VE never owned a dollars inter
