QUESTION OF PASSPORTS
FOR FRENCH DELEGATES
tBy Associated Prcss.1

PARIS, May 30.-Thc government
will be asked IN. both the Chamber of
Deputies and the Senate this week
what the official attitude is toward tho
attendance of French delegates at tho
international Socialist conference in
Stockholm and whether passports will
he issued to such delegates.
The sudden conciliation OF the differ
cnt factions OF the French Socialist
party on the question % attending tho
Stockholm conference. which recently
was decided in the Affirmative, is cX-
planned as resulting from the convic
ton reached by the majority, pre-
viously hostile. that IT would be in
Rdvisab bic TO leave the Russian Social
lists alone with the German delegates.
The French Socialists have been told
that il is necessary for the Russian
Socialists to prove to the Russian army
that a sincere effort has been rade
toward securing peace. Hence. accord
ing to this view, Russia must bc rep
resented at Stockholm, where the Ger
man delegates will he given chance
to declare themselves cates orically.
after which the army will be able to
perceive whether the program Of the
German Socialists is acceptable and
capable OF realization.
MORE MODERATE: FACTION
AGREES WITH EXTREMISTS
1t was on the superstition that the
Russians would certainly be repre-
scntcd and on the theory that it would
be far better If they were joined by
the delegates of the other entente coun-
tries, IL is explained. that the more
moderate faction of the French Social
lists Joined the extremists and decided
on representation at Stockholm.
1t is pointed out that the Stockholm
conference is in no sense peace con-
ference, being nothing moro than
tentative gathering of the Socialists of
bellGgerent countries TO consider ducs-
tions proposed and decide whether
real peace conference is likely to he
fruitful Consequently. no French So
cialist going to Stockholm is committed
by that fact to any peace movement.
it IS declared.
There is no indication as yet whether
the French delegates will obtain pass
ports.

"One Law for Both," Ivan Abram- sons sensational film drama, which opens at the Auditorium theatre to- day and Thursday promises to be record breaking attraction, in point Of attendance. The intense interest in conditions in Russia, which is so universal in this country now, has un- doubtedly contributed largely to the success of "One Law for Both." A considerable portion of the story of the production is located in Russia, and conditions that prevailed in the Darkest Empire before the recent revolution are faithfully reproduced in photoplay. The locale of the story shifts to America in the second half of the production, and it is said that the author director has drawn several interesting comparisons between con- ditions that exist in the two countries. A cast of unusual strength, including Rita Jolivet, James Morrison, Leah Baird. Vincent Serrano, Paul Capel1- ami, Pedro De Cordoba. Marget Greens, and Helen Arold portrays the lead ing parts.

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 alkaH This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t.
 The best thing for steady use Is just ordinary nulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or anything else you cam use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim ply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, 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 a few ounces will supply every mem Der of the family for months.

A furnished sun in a. hard blue sky, A buzzard wheeling silently on high. Hot red and dusty lies the lonely road, That winds through heat and shade to reach the ford, The wilted shrubs hang down their
 thirsty heads, The riotous weeds are withered. crisp
 and dead. Fierce rays are quivering through
 the burning air, The world seems all ablaze with light
 and glare, A bird chirps softly from a hidden
 nest. A cricket sharply trllls as he settles
 to his rest The road slips down into the flowing
 stream, Whose banks with butterflies are all
 agleam CMnging to the wet ferns, flocicing
 on the sand. Tiny wings like fairy sails blue and

This feature, a picturiza- ton of Clarence B. Hollands novel, made by arrangement with Messrs and Bros., calls for the virfle, red hlooded sort of hero that Harold Lockwood depicts so we'll.
