AMOUNT RAISED IN LOAN
DRIVE IN DOUBT
Several Days VIII Elapse, Before Full
Extent Of Nations Subscriptions
Is KnOwn--New York District
Is Far Over Quota.

Washington, October 2S-The total
amount subscribed to the second Lib
erty Loan, The treasury department
announced tonight, Is still a matter
Of supeculation." Several days prob
ably will elapse before the full extent
of the nations subscriptions is ascer-
tanned.
The department was without figures
tonight showing any change in the
estimated totals, other than In the
New York district. New York's max
imum Of s1,5OO,0 100000 reported last
night to have been exceeded, It was
said tonight, might be increased by
later returnls to as much as $1,750,-
600. Previous estimates had placed
the total at approximately $1,650, ,000,-
900 or 100000, 900 less than tonight's
estimate.
Reserve bank officials and local
committees working until after mid
night last night all over the country,
ested today. 1t was virtually the
lirst breathing spell they had taken
since the campaign began. Few dis
tricts even reported to the treasury
and the assumption was that they
would take their time in transmitting
the finals. They have till next Thurs
day to make the complete report
Little Indication Of Result
Returns received at the treasury
today, gave little indication as to the
final result" the department announc-
ed tonight "On the face Of returns
1t can not be said whether the sale
exceeded $4,000 100000 Conviction is
general, however, that 1t probably ap-
proximated the maximum total. Banks
Of course, have made no effort to tab
ulate all their returns any may not
do so till the final day for reporting
November 1. Obviously, great changes
may be made In the total between
now and Thursday.
1T seems certain that every dis
trict has gone we'll past its minimum
and that several will exceed their
maximums sufficiently to carry the
weaker districts to the high mark In
the general total.
New York, Chicago, Cleveland and
San Francisco were showing espe-
cially strong in the late returns. How
far New York will ga over Its maxi.
mum is a matter of conjecture.
May Be Quarter Billion
Some think that the excess may
reach 25OOOO,OOO. Chicago district
chairman have begun to feel that
their total may reach the maximum
of $7OO, 100000. Every message today
from Chicago showed new increase
Heads Of other districts rose In
frequently from their avalanche OF
returns long enough to ask that fina

Cocoanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

I 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 entirely grease less), is much better than the most ex- pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't pos- sibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One Sor two teaspoonfuls will make; an abundance of rich, creamy father, and scleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily. and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruf and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves it fine and silky, bright fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

 "This man Fedia, is my nemesis. In Russia he led the Black Hundred on the raid that wiped out my home. He saved me from death and offered me worse fate. I escaped and ill order to be free from his perseca- tions, I secured Yellow Passport which entitled me to come and go freely from the Jewish quarter, but which branded me as. fallen woman.
