SAVE FATHERLAND
Peace Rejection Stirs Germans
to Join Army.
Women Volunteer in DrOves to
Fill Positions at Home.

Berlin, Jan. 16.-Volunteers for
Germany'S home army are many in
number and are volunteering SO
steadily and so fast that compulsion
under the terms of the civil service
law of November will not have to be
resorted to- in the near future and
never maybe, according to- Dr. Serge,
civil chief of staff in the war bureau.
The volume of volunteering has come
frankly as a pleasant surprise to the
officials The country has gradually
realized that the war bureau intends
to enroll civilian workers only by slow
degrees so as to disturb legitimate
business as little as possible.
Women, tho unaffected by the civil
service law have volunteered in
droves and the bureau has even had to
exert a strict check on the youthful
population, so large have been the
number wanting to leave school in orr
der to work in some way for the
Fatherland. Only a small percentage
of volunteers have been accepted de-
finitely so far but the aggregate is
large enough to release several thou
sand workers weekly who have been
engaged in interior garrison duty,
bridge watching service and on posts.
These soldiers have been sent into ad-
ninistration districts close behind the
front and in turn relieve many more
thousands for actual service on the

According to DIR. Serge, the opposi-
ton which the war bureau anticipated
at the start from various sources such
as labor unions, has failed to materi-
alize He says the unions are aiding
the civil service plan enormously, as
are almost all branches of trade. DR.
Serge says that the percentage of
shirkers has been growing smaller
from week to week and has now dwin-
died to such an extent that compul-
sion is not even being considered. No
figures are available as to how many
recruits Germany may expect under
the home army plan, but DR.. Serge
believes the original estimate OF
100000 to 5000, 900 workers was I'M
derguessed in view of the volunteer
ing and the increased cooperation
from all quarters.
A notable proportion of the applica-
tions are from men in the upper
classes of society, who ask for war
work regardless of the wages paid or
at wages far less than their former
incomes.

the use of a really good shampoo
The easiest to use and the quickest
drying shampoo that We can recon-
mend to our readers is one that brings
out all the natural beauty OF the hai-
and may be enjoyed at very little ex-

canthrox, which can be obtained from
any druggist. in a cup OF hot water.
This makes a full cup OF shampoo

it 10 all the hair instead OF just the

into the scalp and onto every strand
OF hair, chemically dissolves all i'm
purities. 1T is very soothing and cool

AT MASS Meeting
Chance for Them to Show Loyalty.
Says Emmett ]. Scott.

Dunbar High School was the scene
OF a large gathering Of negroes Of the
District last night when the negro
officers and troops from the District
were accorded honor. Never before
has there been a more outward evil
dence Of patriotism than was In evi-
dence last evening. and IL the colored
soldiers Of this country live up to the
exceptions Of the speakers last night
the race will have cause to be proud
Of them.
The principle address was delivered
by Emmct j. Scott, who represented
the Secretary Of War, and who told of
the excellent record made by a large
number of District colored men who
have Just retsrncd from the training
camp at Fort Des Moines, after re-
ceiving commissions in the reserve
army. He said that II was his belief
that the colored people of the United
States were now given a splendid op-
portunity to show to the world their
loyalty ard patriotism, and he hoped
that every one from the highest ofilcer
TO the private would be a credit to the
negro race.

War Times Regulate
Candy Making

There Is something new under the
sun, and Unexpectedly it has to do
with so apparently. a trifiing matter as
candy.
Because we have been admonished
to do with less sugar, a patriotic
candy shop has been making-and
selling-what it terms "save-sugar"
sweets. That is, candies which are
very toothsome though prepared with
less sugar than heretofore, or COM
pounded with nuts and fruits to COM
pensate for the reduction of the usual
sugar allotment. There are said to be
twenty-five varieties of this wartime
confectionery.
Another shop has suggested that a
standing order be left to any one or
more addresses. The selection of the
candy is to be delegated to the heao
salesperson of the shop, so that the
weekend anticipation takes on the
nature Of surprise. Therefore, such
standing order sweets are to be known
as 'eurprise candles"

e Women Readers of The Heruld aa;;.
Cosmetics Were Used
By Bellies Of Long Ago

Perfumes are entered largely on the
Christmas shopping list. Therefore.
1t is interesting TO have some knowl-
edge Of their origin and uses. insofar
as such can be obtained from books.
Cosmetics and perfumes, although
associated with feminine vanities of
the present in an overwhelming de-
gree, really had their beginnings
thousands OF years ago, when, ac-
cording to authentic records, the
same desire to be beautiful and to
make art conceal the defects of ma
ture prevailed among the women of
antiquity. especially those of the
privileged classes.
We know that porcelain Jars found
In the vicinity of the Pyramids con-
tanned perfumed cosmetics more than
1000 years old. Stranger still, these
jars were Chinese. ornamented with
quotations from contemporary poets,
which established their antiquity.
And in the Book OF Genesis per-
fume is mentioned, being then a COM
pound OF spices and myrrh. used for
amounting the body. II is TO an Ara
bian that We owe the art OF distilla-
ton. One Avicenna. a physician by
profession, discovered thfs art in the
tenth century. while experimenting
with q rose, thus inyenting rose
water.
The perfumes Of Araby," how
ever, have long since given place TO
the greater art of the modern per-
fumer. 1t is known that the pres
ent formula for franglpani was in
vented by 4 Roman Of that name.
His grandson improved upon the or
iginal formula, which was a powder,
by dissolving it in spirits, thus max
ing 1t much more convenient TO use
Women were not the only users Of
perfume. While the Roman women
spent much time at their toiIettes.
1 the men were at the luxurious public
baths. The use OF cosmetics and
sweet smelling waters was not con-
fined to either sex.
Indeed, 1t is related that Otho, a
famous Roman general. went on a
military campaign carrying a CON-
plete outfit OF perfumes and cos
metics Ito adorn his person and pre-
serve his complexion" Nero was an
extravagant user OF perfumes When
his wife. Poppea. died. he ordered to
be burned more incense than Arabia
could produce in ten years"

in ancient Rome that roses were fire.

Musk and civet have been much
appreciated by perfume makers
Musk is the most permanent OF all
odors and retains its powerful scent
indefinitely. Civet is a substance Of
the consistency OF honey taken from
the sac of the civet cat. In its ma
tural form il is quite offensive. but
when used in the proper quantity and
allied with oils II becomes an agree
able perfume. Perfume was first in
troduced into France by scented
I gloves imported from Italy and
Spain. In the reign OF Henry III.
the use OF perfumes became SO COM
mon and IT might be said, so vulgar
that their abuse was denounced by
the satirists of the day-
