Since France is a leading power in the

deed well for us at this time to know
something of the history of that wonder
fUl nation. This brief article is merely
an introduction to other articles on the
history of France that may appear in this
paper or that may be read elsewhere.
And why read French history? In the
Ilrst place, it is intensely interesting, as
anyone will find out as soon as he be-
gins to read about the part France has
played in the history of the world. and
SINCE we are now in great European al
nance, we naturally desire to know some
thing about our allies,
Perhaps the chief reason why French
history, and history in general are being
so widely read today, is to acquire an IN

is to be found far back in the past.
true understanding of many OF the QueS-
tons that have distressed Europe, ana
that are awaiting the outcome of the
present war for final settlement, can only
De acquired with knowledge OF history.
In the year SIS, there was revolution
IN France, and new line, or dynasty, Of
kings, the Capetians, was established on
the French throne. Nonlinally, these kings
rtory they ruled over was a small dis
trict around Paris. The remaining parts
of France were ruled by great lords. prac-
tically independent of the king, and GER
tain of them were quite as powerful as
the king himself. The first task of tho
kings was to break the power of the great
lords and bring them into subsection to
the crown BY the middle of the twelfth
century, this difficult task was accomp-
lished and the French king could be re-
garded as the real ruler of France, and
one of the most important persons in ali
Europe.
France was now the most powerful ma
ton and the leader in the civilization of
Western Europe. That position of lead
ership, she has maintained ever since. In
modern times, the true greatness of
France has not always been appreciated,
but the noble part she has borne, and is
bearing, in the war, has revealed in the
most convincing manner her truly great
qualities qualities which she has display
ed again and again in the course of her
brilliant history
Meanwhile. other nations were growing
up in Western Europe which often dis
rupted French claims to territory or
French commercial expansion, and many
were the wars in consequence of these
disputes. Also another great power had
grown up in Europe, the Christian church,

a Brief Introduction To The
Study OF French History

with the pope OF Rome at the head In
addition to the headship of the church,
the pope maintained that he was the
overload of the rulers. and that they owed
him obedience. The kings of France often
resisted these papal claims. and the adj
justment of relations between Church
and State occupy a large part of French
history. The rise of commercial towns
added another element to the growing
eomplexity Of French life, and also added
many new problems to be settled.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious. as It dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for it is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces. You
can get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole family
for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub II in. about a teaspoonful is all
that is required. 1t makes an abund-
ance Of rich, creamy lather, cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and is
soft. fresh looking, bright. fluffy, wavy,
and easy to handle. Besides. it loosens
and takes out every particle Of dust,
dirt and dandrrn.-Adv. .p
