Parts of Russia outside of Petro-
grad are becoming impatient with the
capital. The Caucasians, Siber:ans
and Ukrfainians are showing disin-

government, because they are out of
sympathy with the local workmen's
and soldiers council which largely
controls it. The local Petrograd
council is Bolsheviki in sympathy

Moscow is disguised with the way
things are going in Petrograd, and

fearing similar disorders there.
The American commissions are
doing splendid work in Russia, but
their job should have been taken up
two years ago. All, however, are
working patiently ana hopefully.

DROP ALIEN BILL?
Administration May Not Want For,

Washington, Sept. 27.-The admin

house would get early action on the
measure.
These things occurred:
First. 1t was made known at the
state department following a long
conference between Secretary Lans-
ing and the house military commit
tee which has charge of the measure
that the United States was already in
negotiation with several powers con-
corning the questions affected by the
bill. Prospects were bright that re-
ciprocal agreements would be reached
by diplomacy obtaining the objects
sought by the bill without the neces-
sity of legislation.
Second. Secretary of War Baker
fatty stated that the war department
had no interest in the measure and
that it was not war department legis-
lation. Provost Marshal General
Crowder had examined the Chamber

it.
These developments occurred after
it had been noised about, that Presi-

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkai. This dries
the scalp, makes 80 hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut. oil (Which is pure and en-
tirelv greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else YOU can use for shamppoing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wa
tel and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich. creamy lather, and cieanses the
hair and scalp thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and eX-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves n fine and
silky. bright. fluffy and easy to man.
