Britten demanded the "'ayes" and
noes. He grinned as groans arose
from all over the chamber. 1t takes
forty five minutes to al hour to call
the house roll.
Speaker Clark put the question as to
"ayes" and "noes' to a vote and it
was overwhelmingly defeated, viva
ivoce. A moment later the Britten
amendment was defeated likewise.
Not satisfied, Britten moved that
the resolution be referred back to the
foreign affairs committee and report
ed out with an amendment identical
to the one that just failed. Once more
he led in an attempt to get the "ayes
and "noes.
Another motion for reference back
to the committee was killed also.
The pacifists, realizing themselves
defeated, died hard and at 2:37 Repre-

ALKALI MAKES SOAP
BAD FOR WASHING HAIR


X x X x x x x x x * X < x x *
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain toe much alkal, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless, 1t s very cheap
land beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and few
ounces win last the whole family for
months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, eleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and is
soft, fresh looking, bright fluffy,
wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it
loosens and takes out every particle
of dust, dirt and dandruff.
