THE ORDER OF THE BATH
II Is Supposed 10 Date to the Period
of the Ancient Franks.

One OF the oldest orders of English
knighthood is the Order OF the Bath
which is supposed to date to the per
iod of the ancient Franks, the inhab-
itants of Lower Germany. Letters
patent for the present epoch of the
order were issued on May 25, 1928.
and today 1t Is the largest knighthood
order in point of numbers, and at the
same time the most influential. being
represented by III knights of the first
class. 302 of the second class and
l .106 OF the third class.
The Order of the Bath is believed
to have been introduced into England
by the SaXons. The ancient Franna.
when they conferred knightnuoo,
among other solemn rights used that
OF bathing, and this custom peins
continued in England, the members Of
the order were called Knights of the
Bath In the reign of Henry ". there
was a degree OF knighthood specified
under the express appellation OF tnc
Bath. The king. on the day OF mis-
coronation in the Tower of London.
conferred the order upon forty -siA
esquires From that time 1t was Gus
tomary with the kings to confer TINS
dignity preceding their coronations,
the coronation OF their queens, the
births and marriages of royal issue
and on similar occasions. The las,
time knights of the Bath were so
made was at the coronation OF kins
Charles H., in 1861. after which the
order was neglected until the yea.
1925. when King George |. revived IL
and ordered a book of statutes for tine
government of the order by which the
number of knights was fixed at thirty
eight. namely. the sovereign and thir-
ty-seVen Knights Companions. The
order continued without any alteration
until 1915, when 1t was changed SO
that those who had distinguished
themselves in the wars against Mt
poleon might he received into the or
der. With this view. the Most Hon
orable and Military Order of the Bath
was divided into three classes under
Crosses, knights Commanders ana
knights COMPANIONS.

Altho the enemy advanced at the
double. the time dragged for the men
on the firestep. They waited with
tense expectation for closer combat.
Despite the firing, the attackers still
came on. Ten Germans seemed to
take the place of every one who fell
and the foeman's parapet was like the
lip of waterfall: the men came
across in waves. and were dashed to
pieces; other waves followed. only to
meet with a similar fate. The sue

The first line drew near, and the

to the floor OF the trench with a
badly gashed arm. Reynolds bound
the wound and helped the man back
to the dressing station.
When Reynolds came back an hour
later the captain spoke to him:

could tell me where you were"

officer interrupted him.
II don't want to know where you
were. Reynolds" said he. Il saw
you out there in front fighting. and
you made a jolly good show. OF
course when you came back into the
trench 1t was your duty to stand to

One Hundred More Teachers
Must Be Obtained to Carry
on School Work Thruout the
County, 1t Has Been Estab-
lished.

one million five thousand dollars is
the estimated cost OF running the
schools OF Tulsa county during the
year OF 19l7-1S. This figure was an
nounced by the county superintendent
OF schools yesterday and based on the
Increase In the salaries OF the teachers
plus the cost OF the new buildings be-
ing erected in the county and the ad-
ditlonal instructors who will be em-
ployed.
More than 10000.
There were i7,4l3 students enrolled
in the public schools OF the county
last year and there were 9,491 chill
dren in the county between the ages
OF and 81. or the total number
9,617 children attended the schools In
the city OF Tulsa, while there were
ll,0G6 children in the city who are
OF school age. In the city ,449 chill
dren OF school age do not attend the
public schools. OF this number APP
prONimatcly ono thousand attend the
Catholic school, the business colleges
Kendall academy or college, night
school or private schools. This shows
that there are about five hundred chill
dren in the city OF Tulsa of school age
who do not attend school and about an
equal number in the county.
This average maintained in the

Use COcOanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
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 and rub 1t in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff and
excessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly and 1t leaves it fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to man
age
You can get mulslfied cocoanut oil
1T most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
Last everyone In the family for
months.-Adv.
