The annual parish reception was
held in Old swedes parish house last
night. and members and friends Of
the old church enjoyed a very pleas
able "get-together" occasion. There
was large attendance and everyone
entered into the spirit Of the games
and other entertainments in a man

cial spirit Of the membership was
indeed strong.
The Rev. Robert Bell vicar, made
an address in which he referred to
the members OF Old Swedes as mem
bers of a big family. with traditions
lasting for two or three generations.
He commended this attitude OF church
pride and said that It indicated com
plete loyalty and justifiable pride in
parish affairs. He told the young
men and women that he respected the
reverent feeling which the young
people displayed toward the old
church and he was glad to find that
there il such feeling existing all
over the community. He remarked
that IN every Episcopal parish in the
city there are to be found former
members Of Old Swedes who are
proud Of the old church and her ira

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN
WASH THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because It is a TAD
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 "a
use a mskeshift but is always ada
visabie to use a preparation made
for shampooing only. Many Of Ou4
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthroz
mixture. You can use this at q
cost Of about three cents a sham-
poo by getting some canthrox from
your druggist, and dissolving a tea
spoonful in a cup OF hot water.
This makes enough shampoo liquid

being waged here the following
statement is issued
The fight in Delaware is to be a
decisive one. Delaware is the only
State in the union in which the
power TO change the constitution Is
given 20 the Legislature and is not
dependent upon ratification by the
electorate, so that II the suffrage
leaders are successful in getting
bill through the Legislature. and II
receives the signature of the govern
nor the women of Delaware receive
the vote automatically.

But to us the most wonderful sight, in
Paris, was the great allied parade OF

which we're troops from Russia, Bel

China, all the dependencies Of Great
Britain and France. Truly, a sight never

Though the United States, as a ma

honor in reference to her attitude to-
ward France and Belgium, yet she may
well be proud of the earnest efforts with
the spirit shown and sacrifices made Of

height Of the German attack, the sec

carried 2lO0 wounded men. an aggregate
Of 10 900 miles. Some idea OF the vast
amount Of traffic behind such front
may be obtained from the fact that be

10000 trucks carrying men, ammuni-
