All comes down to a question Of money
and money Is the sinews Of war. I'M
ports into France from the United States
for example, have to be paid in gold-ano
that is so much gold taken from France,
who needs all the gold she has for ma
tional defence. The new measure there
fore is. first and foremost. financial. The
good credit of France abroad is largely
due to confidence which foreigners have
in the wise financial policy of her Gov
eminent and Of the Bank of France. 1t
is the same with the French people in
general. They know that they are fight
ing for their lives and the honor Of their
wonderland they trust Government and
bank and army. What is golden syrup or
seamless silk stockings when brothers
and sons are shedding their life-blood at
the front?
So, whatever first impression may have
been made by the new decree is rather
among Industrial and commercial circles
and along the Atlantic cables. The Minis
trv Of Commerce has allowed one of its
chief flnctfonaries to explain matters for
the general rnblic-the man In the street.
No doubt certain manufactures hitherto
four,shing in France will have their sup
plies Of raw material limited, and objects
manufactured abroad will no longer tempt
French men and women and children to
buy thenl-because neither material nor
objects will be imported. BuA there was

WANT TO HELP WAR?
"BJJY CLOTHES" ANSWER

If visions Of summer clothes dance
in your head whether masculine or
feminine summer clothes is no NATTER
and are being suppressed to do ones
bit" through wartime economy, the
message to shoppers sent out yesterday
by E. L. Howe, Executive Secretary of
the National Retail Dry Goods Associa-
ton, may be reassuring.
"Hysterical economy" Mr.. Howe de-
clares, "if persisted in will cause a bus
mess panic. One woman does not think
it very serious matter to reduce her
purchases, say, % per cent. below nor
NAL. If thousar DIS of women are doing
the same thing it will quickly create a
recession in the volume of business. the
effects of which will be most far-rea CHI
ing.
Mrs. Wilson and the wives of the
Cabinet members undoubtedly felt
that they were performing a great
public service in announcing their in
tentior of restricting their apparel
purchases. Nobody questions their
right as individuals to practice the
strictest economy. But the unfortunate
feature Of this move was that 1t prac-
tically intirated the official approval of
and need for such a national movement.
For those who still doubt Mr.. Howe
related the maxim that 's1o0 spent
through regular business channels
would he OF infinitely greater value to
the war fund than 500 given outright"
Taxes are being laid upon the
profits of the business of the country

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair IN
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoo'
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
an rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuh
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, dandruH and excessive oil. Ths
hair dries quickly and evenly. and i
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil o.
most any drug store. It is very cheap
and few ounces is enough to last ever!

The nerves of Frenchmen doing business

from Government measures what may be
called respectfully war JOLT" says a
Paris dispatch. Perhaps the best thing
10 say. under the circumstances, Is, Don't
cry over split milk, and particularly
Don't cry until you are hurt. The effect
of the new measures remains to be seen
in the execution of them, and this has al
ready been Modified considerably.
Briefly, by French Governmental decree
(of which no notice had been given to
the general public. there is henceforward
to be no importation Of any kind into
France-except. first, Governments own
imports. and second. goods which a Com
rittee Of Derogation may allow on the
part Of Government. No moro golden
syrup. no more hominy or frazzled beef
or evaporated apples, and no more other
things too numerous to mention. OF
course, these little exotic creature COM
forts were already rare and far between
in merchant ships overladen with more
necessary things. The new measure does
not concern such minima, which the Ro-
man law says the Praetor does not heed.
It Is the big commercial interests which
are troubled. Now the Delegations Com
rnittee was going to be extremely severe,
and, within two days, It has softened the
decree's harshness. But 1t will not allow
ship space. and French money to be
used for any foreign imports which are
not necessary to the national defence.
This includes reasonable well-being of
the civil population-but mere money
making has to take back seat until war

New York, May 3.-The German u
boat menace has made the food Sit
uation in Belgium and northern France
one of extreme gravity, the mortality
among adults in the industrial dis
tricts having multiplied by three dur
ing March and April. according to
Herbert c. Hoover, who arrived here
today on an American ship. Mr.. Hoov-
er said he would go Immediately to
Washington to take charge of the gov
ernment's food control program.
Like every good American I have
come over to do my share" Mr.. Hoov-
err said. MY new duty is too big a
proposition to discuss at this time"
At the dock Mr.. Hoover was met
by Baron Cartier, Belgian minister to
the United States, who said he came
from Washington to express his
"thanks and reverence" for the Bel
gian relief commissions accomplish
ments in his country.
THE food situation in Belgium and
northern France requires every eff
fort we can make said Mr.. Hoover,
who does not intend to relinquish his
position as head of the Belgian COM
mission.
lat present it is one Of extreme grav-
ity on account of the U-boat menace
which has increased alarmingly dur
ing the past eight weeks. Wheat and
corn are needed badly, and also pork
and beef.
The commission by March 1 had
struggled to its feet again after re-
ceiying the knockout blow of the sub
marine decree. of February l. Since
March 1 we have lost five loaded boats,
but in March and April $4,000 tons Of
foodstuffs were landed. This 10000 was
0.000 tons less than we actually re-
qured. Because of the shortage the
mortality in the industrial districts
multiplied by three. The children,
however, did not suffer. They are al
ways looked after first.
