no legislature have revived the anti-alien law
bill This measure is similar to the one enacted
in California a few years ago, which was the
occasion Of friendly protests from the japanese
foreign office to our own state department.
After the bill had been introduced iii the Idaho
legislature, Baron Sato, the japanese ambassa-
DOR called at Secretary Lansing's office, and
while making no formal protest, he urged that
enactment of the measure be prevented. if DOS

ment did not intend to abandon its opposition
to legislation which might discriminate against
its citizens.
His attitude was courteous and friendly. Lut
what he said left no doubt in the mind Of Frank
Polk. counsellor of the state department. that
a delicate question had been raised. After his
visit Counsellor Polk went at once to the capi

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did II ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has
lovely hair. while the most popular
count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact, many are leading
ladies Just because Of their attrac
tive locks. Inquiry among them dis
closes the fact that they bring out all
the natural beauty OF their hair by
careful shampooing. not with any
soap or makeshift, but with a simple
mixture by putting a teaspoonful Of
canthrox (Which they get from the
druggist) in a cup Of hot water and
applying this instead OF soap. This
full cup OF shampoo liquid is enough
so II is easy to apply 1t to all the
hair instead OF just the top OF the
head. After its use, the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff,
excess oil. and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. The hair Is so
fluffy that II looks much heavier
than II is, while its lustre and soft
ness is deIightful.-Advt.

BAVARIA FROWNS
ON TOURIST RUSH
FROM PRUSSIA

BASLE, Switzerland, July 10y
mail)-Bavaria is preparing. though
very reluctantly, for another rush Of
tourists from north Germany this
summer. As the Bavarians regard
these visitors from the north more in
the light OF intruders than welcome
guests, especially at this time, when
food is exceedingly scarce, measures
have been taken to safeguard the
smaller localities from being overrun
by famished Prussians.
The Bavarian minister OF war has,
therefore, forbidden by decree par
ishes OF less than 5000 Inhabitants to
receive summer boarders, except
where II can be proved that the latter
have been in the habit of coming there
during the last three years.
All who have visited Bavaria and
seen what a gold harvest the tourists,
and. especially the non-German tour
lists. brought to the country every
summer, can easily imagine what in
vidious comparisons the hotel keepers
and boarding house owners must be
making between the "Touristen
