LONDON, April 26.-Announcemeni
today that Premier Lloyd-George had
postponed for a few days his state
ment on Irish home rule. promised
this week. aroused hopes of complete
settlement OF the question.

dicated to Lloyd-George that the
American Government and the Ameri

solidarity between the United States

enhanced in view of this sentiment

sentiment by its American correspond
ent and including quotations from
Roosevelt, Taft, and prominent Amer
leans, favOrinE home rule.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries

tirely greaseless), Is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else. you can use for shampoo
ing. as this can't possibly injure the

simply moisten your hair with
water and rub IL In. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp Thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily. and removes
every particle OF dust, dirt. dandruff,
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and IL leaves IL

to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t Is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough TO

WETNESS IGNORED
BY GIRL TROOPERS
Presence of Snake in Camp
Rumored, But Marines No. II
Brogan Eliminates Menace.

1t takes more than wet weeds and
grass and bushes to stop the girl
troopers out at the National Service
School on Conduit road from drilling.
Today, though the air was misty and
the rhythmic swish of skirts through
the grass-on the drill field became n
soggy, flapping of wet cloth against
shoes which seeped water at every
step. the rockies" went through their
drills womanfully, and not a one COM
planned that II was too wet.
Nothing has happened to break the
monotony of camp life for the girl
rookie for the last week. Everything
has been perfectly lovely. and al
though there was report current
in camp to the effect that an enemy
had entered the limits during the
night, the report was not officially
confirmed.
The enemy was a true one-if he
entered the camp at all-for 1t was
reported that a snake-a wiggly.
waggly, sneaky green snake-had
been seen worming his way along
camp street. A marine, 1t is reported.
bravely advanced on the enemy and
crushed him with a No. IL service
shoe before the army of girls got
wind of the affair, which was all
very lucky.
A resolution framed yesterday by the
girl campers was put in the hands of
several Congressman and Senators to-
day by a committee of the campers
headed by Miss Elizabeth Poe.
The resolution asks that Congress
pass Immediately the conscription
measure nov being debated.

WELCOMES, CRITICISM
President Declares Espionage Bill
VIII Not Be His Shield.

President Wilson welcomes "patri-
otic and intelligent criticism of his
official acts, and will not permit any
so-called espionage legislation to
shield him.
The Presidents views are set forth
in the following letter to ArthurIBr
bane, a New York editor, which was
made public at the White House to-
day:
''I sincerely appreciate the frank
ness of your interesting letter. OF
April 20. with reference to the So
called espionage bill now awaiting
action of the Congress.
Il approve OF this legislation, but
need not assure you and those inter-
ested in II that, whatever action the
Congress may decide upon, so far as
l am personally concerned, shall not
expect or permit any part of this law
to apply to me or any OF my official
acts. or In any way to be used as a
shield against criticism.
Il can imagine no greater disserv-
Ice to the country than to establish
a system censorship that would deny
to the people of a free republic like
our own their indisputable right to
crtticise their own public officials.
While exercising the great powers OF
the office ] hold, l would regret in a
crisis like the one through which we
are now passing to lose the benefit of
patriotic and Intelligent criticism.
I'm these trying times one can feel
certain only of his motives, which he
must strive to purge of selfishness of
every kind, and await with patience
the Judgment OF a calmer day to vim
dicate the wisdom OF the course he
has tried conscientiously to follow"

Mrs. Bear outlined the work done

ported appointment of Elihu Root,
suffrage opponent, to the Russian
Mrs. Rheta Childe Dorr, an author,

CITY BEAUTIFUL DISCUSSED
Woman's National. Farm and Garden
Association In Session.

The annual business. session of the
Woman's National Arm and Garden
Association was held in the New Ma

Alma, Mich, president of the organ

Members discussed the development
of the National Capitals beautifica-

Chinese cabbage, affinity of boiled
ham, was first grown in this country
by d Washington woman. II was said
at yesterdays meeting. A marketing
consultation was being held. and men,
bers were asked what they had grown
and marketed.
II have grown Chinese cabbages in
Chevy Chase and citrus fruits in
Florida" responded Mrs. David Fair
child, daughter of Alexander Graham
Bell, and wife of DR.. David Faircheld,
chief of the Bureau OF Foreign Seed
and Plant Introduction of the Depart
Hfent OF Agriculture. "And after rails

same as New York State cabbage, and
is used principally for salads.

A BAS LIE GERMAN BAND
Musicians Of TeutonIc Toots Hooted
Off the Streets.

PHILADELPHIA. April 26.-Inno-
cent victims OF international compli.
cations, the German bands" have
suddenly disappeared from the
streets.
The bands" that used to be were
not all German" and they were
usually as willing to play "Tipperaryr
as Die Wacht am Rhein." Any
music that seemed to please their
audiences was acceptable to the
bands.
They remained up to the eve OF the
break in relations between the two
governments. playing American ma
tiOnal airs in a last bid for favor.
With the declaration OF the state Of
war, however, they disappeared. and
with them went some of the rarest
combinations OF wind and string in
struments that the country has ever
known.

WAR TAX TO HIT RICH HARD
Incomes Of $1,000 Possibly VIII BE
Included In Levy.

Reports from the subcommittee OF
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee framing the $1,000 600. 900 taxation
bill indicate today there has been no
switch in the plans to make q great
drive against the wealthier GLASSES.
Lowering OF the income tax exemp-
tion to $1,000 for single persons and
81 800 for married men is being con-
sidered. although the chances favor
exemptions of 81 500 and $4,000.
Surtaxes on big incomes will be
almost confiscatory, II seems certain.
One suggestion is a 60 per cent tax on
all incomes above S350,OO0. Freight
and passenger receipts, automobiles,
and amusements probably will be in
cluded in the new items taxed, and IL
is admitted that much of the revenue
is to come from higher taxes on beer
and whisky.
Dissatisfaction in the subcommittee
with some proposals made by Secre-
tary McAdoo has been expressed to
the Secretary. Differences Of opinion
are so radical that the tax bill prob
ably will not be ready for several
days.

WHY BE BALD?
Here's n Good Way to Stop Loss of
Hair and start New Hair Growth.

A luxuriant head OF hair is Gods
birthright TO every man-to every
woman. II your hair is thinning out,
splitting. prematdrely gray, brittle,
difficult to comb, full OF dandruff,
and your head itches like mad, it's
a pretty sure sign the hair roots are
diseased and quick action should be
taken. Don't wait but go to O'Don-
neIrs Drug Stores and get a, bottle
of Parisian Sage, the really efficient
hair grower. Don't say tits the
same old story. I've heard 1t before"
but try a bottle at their risk. They
guarantee 1t to stop falling hair and
itching scalp and remove all dandruff
or money back.
The hair falls out and no new hair
comes in when the hair roots fail to
receive the proper nOurlshment. Par
isian Sage contains just the elements
needed Apply frequently, massag-
ing the &C pp vigorously, then IL
soaks ris.t in and nourishes the
famlshed roots. stimulating them to
grow new hair, thick and lustrOus.
Partisan Sage is also woman's fav-
orite hair dressing because Ii makes
her hair soft. bright, seem more abun-
dant and easy to dress attractively.
IL IL guaranteed harmless, Is mex
pensive and easily obtainable at drug
