They do, not because it is fad,

greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful. They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use makeshift but is always adj

friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at a cost
OF about three cents shampoo by
getting some canthrox from your

BOSTON. November 4.-The Boston
Symphony Orchestra left here to-day for
Philadelphia. where it will give a con-
cert tomorrow evening with DR.. Karl
Muck conducting. He will lead tho
orchestra in the final number, THE
Star-Spangled Banner" Major Henry
L. Higginson. who maintains the or
chestra. will probably be at the con-
cert II there are Indications that any
difficulties will arise.
Now that 1t has been announced that
the anthem Will be played at every
future concert the question is whether
there will be objection TO DR.. Muck
such az has already appeared in Baltt-
more. and whether there will be any
attempt to have German music eliml-
mated from the program.
AS to the objections against Dr.
Muck because he is German, il is
pointed out that in addition to the
fact that his presence has been APP
proved by the Department OF Justice.
the 10 members OF the orchestra have
a large representation of subjects Of
other belligereAts than the central
powers. There are forty-one Germans,
including DR.. Muck. Of whom nineteen
are naturallzed citizens of the United
States. There are nine Austrians. three
of whom are naturalized. Fifteen ma
tive Americans are members of tho or
chestra. Among the others arc three
subjects of Italy. one Of Poland. thir-
teen of Holland, six of Belgium, six Of
Russia. twelve of France. five of Great
Britain and enc OF Bohemia. In addi-
ton there are two natives OF Belgium
who are naturalized Americans and one
Italian and one Frenchman who are
naturalized.
Major Higginson pays Muck $4,000 a
year. or $4,000 more than last years
deficit for the orchestra. despite It's
great revenue from concerts. He came
to Boston on fve-year contract. which
expired last spring. and the major
considered him so essential to tho sue
cess of the symphony that he asked
him TO remain. In 1914 Muck purchRs-
cd n $4,000 house in the Fenwny sec
ton.
In 1912 DR.. Muck resigned from the
Berlin Opera to come to Boston ap-
parently much to the displeasure
OF royal circles. The question was
raised whether the artistic tempera-
ment of the conductor had not rebelled
against the imperial dominance which
restricts the scope of any conductor
at the Berlin Opera. The matter was
discussed In the Prussian Diet and the
German Reichstng. The Lokal Anzci-
ger. inspired court newspaper. limited
that Muck had let American gold lure
him from position Of honor In the
Fatherland.

been deposited In tho United States

An investigation in the Patent Office
reveals:

allies. taken unaware by this new bar
barty OF warfare were on record.
2. Tho great activity before the war
in improving German submarines that
now are sinking our transports and de-
