NOW TO SPEED VICTORY
Immense Problems Confront Ncxy
Russian Government.

Petrograd. March 20.--''The pr
Nlslonal government which today holds
Russia's destiny in its hands, will use
every energy with the unanimous con-
sent of the nation and will effect
speedy victory" declared Foreign
Minister Miliukoff today.
Russia overturned in few hours
a power detested by everybody. This
feeble, but tyrannicaI power, which
was incapable of securing food for the
people or of organizing for the future
and which was using all the country S
strength to vanquish the enemy now
occupying our territory, no longer
exists.
THE problems now confronting
Russia are immense. She will have
to rebuild the whole political edifice
and in SO doing she will enormously
strengthen her moral forces to organ
ize and obtain a victory

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has love-
ly hair, while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact, many are leading ladies just be-
cause of their attractive locks In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty of their hair by careful sham
pooling, not with any soap or make
shift, but with a simple mixture by
putting 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 it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head After its
use, the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. The hair is so fluffy that IL
looks much heavier than it is while
its lustre and softness is delightful

GERMANS ESCAPE
Ten Out of Ia Make Getaway
From informed Ship.
Find Evidence of Help From
Outside; 2 Reported Drowned.

Philadelphia, March 20.-Ten Ger
man sailors from the interned German
boats in the League Island navy yard,
are today at large, according to the
belief of police here. The belief is
expressed that Lieutenant Chorth,
leader of the plot and Machinist's
Mate H. Schroeder were drowned.
By patching up conflicting stories
of four re-captured men, the police
were led to the belief that fourteen
tried to swim their way to liberty in
icy waters last night.
Police here believe the attempt to
get away was not confined to the
men themselves, nor even to the cap
tainS of the crews, but that it was
part of a general movement on the
part of the scores of Philadelphia
Germans or German sympathizers to
liberate the men.
This belief is supported by the fact
that number of names were found
on the four men who were captured
and who are detained in the barracks
of the navy yard today, suffering
from exposure.
Find Names of Accomplices.
The name of Richard Stein was
found on one of the captured sailors.
The names of five other Philadel-
phians, five German-Americans in
Jersey City and nine in Hoboken were
also found on the captured men. It is
believed by local officers that these
addresses were given the would-be
fugitives to indicate places of refuge.
These names and addresses, kept Sc
cret by the navy yard officials, will
be turned over to government agents,
who will investigate the suspects.
An Investigation is also being made
today of the cutting of a trolley feed
wire near the navy yard. This was
done shortly after the men made their
escape The broken wire prevent ed
trolleys from League Island moving. A
feed wire which furnished light to a
restaurant just outside the navy yard
was also mySteriOuSly cut

The Lion of ST. Mark.

The symbol of the Venetian republic,
the famous lion Of st. Mark, is made
of bronze. There is a tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white ag-
ates, faceted. Its name is most elab-
orately wrought, and its retracted,
gaping mouth and its fierce mustaches
give it an oriental aspect. The crea-
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs. varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century. 1t is conjectured that it may
have originally formed part Of the
decoration of some Assyrian palace.
st. Marks lion it certainly was not
originally, for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised in front to allow the evangel to
be slipped under its fore paws.

Stability is one Of the greatest prob

Course of Your Tears.

Have you ever noticed two tiny holes
at the nose" end of each eye? Prob
ably not, for they are very tiny, like
pinholes. But II you look at your eye
carefully In a mirror you will find
them. They are tear ducts or tubes.
Your tears start behind your eyebrows,
at the narrow end Of the eye. They
pass out below the eyelids. and the
blinking Of the eyelids carries them to-
ward the other end of the eye, where
the ducts or overflow pipes collect and
carry them down into your nose. That
is why you are apt to blow your nose
when you cry.
A flow of tears is going on all the
time to lubricate the eyeball. 1t Is
only when you are under powerful
emotion that they overflow.
