JAIL FOR OPPO-
NENTS OF CONSCRIP-
TION IN NEW ZEA. =

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Wellington, New Zealand, June 19.-
Opposition to the enforcement of mill
tary conscription has resulted here in
the sentencing of Patrick c. Webb a
Labor member of the New Zealand
House Of Representative from Grey
mouth, to serve three months in Jail
for seditious language in advocating
that miners in the district that he
represented should resist conscription.
Nine officials of the Miners Union,
members of which had gone on strike
as a protest against the conscription
act, were convicted of conspiracy to
encourage a seditious strike and sem
fenced to prison for from six to nine
months, but subsequently were re-
leased under bonds. One of the mine
union officials arrested was John Jones
president of the New Zealand Fedora :
tion Of Coal Miners. Although the
miners were exempt from conscription
the government attorney charged that
there was a deliberate effort on the
part of the officials of the miners
union to emharrass the government by
limiting the production Of coal in New
Zealand. Counsel for the accused
denied that the motive for the strike
was to resist enforcement of the con-
scription act. There was demand
for 17s per cent increase in wages.
After the conviction of the miners
leaders, the effort to restrict coal pro.
duction was abandoned and the gov
crnment enforced the penalties against
only two of the convicted men. Ar
agreene ent was reached by the govern.
ment and the miners under which the
strike was declared off and work re-
sumed
In the following municipal elections
the labor nominee for mayor at Grey
mouth was defeated. This was re.
garded as public disapproval of the
miners strike.

Being refused their demand for a
nine.hour day, S6 employees of the Au-
gusta Lumber Co. left their work in a
body at o'clock Tuesday morning. The
plant continued operations. although
crippled by the loss of about one-half
it's force. Some % of the strikers are
mill workers; one is a .teamster, and the
others are employed in the yard.
All the men, except the teamsters
whose work day is more than one half
hour shorter than that of the others,
work 10 hours and 10 minutes each day
with the exception Of Saturday. BY
working the extra 10 minutes at noon
the men get through work an hour ear
ler Saturday afternoon. 1t was Mon
day noon that the dissatisfied employees
presented their demand for shorter
hours. with the request that they be
given an answer that afternoon. A
placard was posted by the mana cement
Offering the men a compromise. The
suggestion was that the men should
work five minutes more every noon eX-
cept Saturday and that they have all
of Saturday afternoon off. The men are
standing firm on their original demands,
and. in accordance with the terms of
the company's ultimatum will call to-
day at the office TO draw their pay.
The teamsters, who, as has been stat
ed, work shorter hours than their fell
low employees, are apparently satisfied,
with the one exception mentioned. The
lone striker among this force was ac-
tuated by sympathetic motives in join
ing the walk-out. it is supposed.

pany, fatty refused to make any COM
ment on the situation when seen by a
reporter Tuesday morning.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

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 alkaii.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed 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
noisten the hair with water and rub it
in. II makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. which rines out easily.
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruf 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.

Mrs. Blackwell and Her Circus School
Children.

a temporary kindergarten that few
boys and girls Of this city know any
thing about will be established here on
Friday, July 90. 1t is the school Of the
Sparks circus. The youngsters of
school age, as commonly accepted, who
are connected with the great travelling
social aggregation that makes the hu-
man element Of the circus attend daily
school exercises and learn daily lessons
just a do the other kiddies who live in
houses anG don't wear tights and
Spangles.
There are half a hundred boys and
girls actual or adopted sons and
daughters of the men and women per-
formers and attendants of the circus.
Mrs. Emily Blackwell, mother" of the
big institution, is their school mistress,
She gathers her pupils about her every
afternoon VIXEN the crowds have left
the big top"
The circus boys and girls-most Of
them-have another kind of training
on their daily schedules. They take
their daily physical lesson, for most of
them, if not already performing with
some one Of the numerous families"
Of the rings, stages or trapezes, aspire
to be heroes aground or aloft, some
day, and most of the best riders and
gymnasts and acrobats and equilibrists
have been reared with the smell Of the
sawdust continually in their nostrils
The circus school is the most demo-
cratic institution in the canvas colos-
sus. The little son of the boss menag-
erie man who may be trying out for a
position on some acrobatic team is just
as Important a factor as the faxen-
haired daughter Of the lady who dives
from the dizzy dome Of the tent and
catches her breath on a splinter near
the ground.-AdVt.
